I think he's like Chris Kelsey in this defense. I think he was only ever supposed to be what he is now by our scheme and play. We don't pin the DE's ears back and crash the pocket to chase the sacks. We use the DEs to pressure the pocket and linebackers to fill the holes, generate pressure, and drop downhill. By design this defense is not like Cleveland's. Jim Schwartz pins the DE's ears back, shoved a rocket up their ass, unleashes them. This leverages the inside of the line and front of the pocket where you have to commit a linebacker to the pocket and your DT's, IDL to be athletic and shed blocks to keep the backfield from leaking. Without linebackers at good angles and the ability to shed an OL the defense isn't as good as the sum of its part when someone like Garrett is wrecking this havoc. I know terms have changed and the new trend are all these buzzwords these talking heads use where they say the axe comes off the edge in a shade 9 position and the linebacker blablabla. Football is and always has been simple in concept: Disrupt the pocket with your front 4 (with a 34 you use your mike). Set the edge and no outside penetration. Use the LBs to read the play and clean up the disruption. Rely on 3-4 seconds of coverage from your corners. Use your safety's to not let anything get over top and your strong safety to play the triangle between the corners. Just play defense. In our defense the scheme it doesn't favor fancy stats. Our sum of all parts is greater than any individual part. And if that means the sum is less than it could be for 1 specific player setting a sack record than so be it. Unfortunately, that's the way it is. But, the benefit is we seldom see a single player being the gross factor of the game being lost.

I'm about to have my meniscus done, told my doctor to wait until after the season.

Do you follow college ball? Noah Knigga - Eastern Michigan LB

None of that is surprising. Even if they're not real and making it up. Every team has a security staff with them to enforce policy and protect the players. Diabetic Don in Phili is an example.

Hyde came from Green bay, Poyer was cut from a team that won less than five games over a couple years.... The Browns

Not one box of Flutie flakes. Hardly even close.

Ah yes that nuance. I was only concerned with the consumption of money against the cap (that is if his balance is in the top 51)

@Rochesterfanwhy did you disagree? we take on his contract because we signed him.

the contract he signed is carried by waivers to the team who signs him

Oh... This place?????

Politics? What is that you speak of sir? This is a football message board ...?

a lot of that is something i disagree with however, letting tyrel Dobson walk was a mistake.

this is the business of football. not being nice. when the Bills play the Eagles at home the Bills should trot out a video for Slay thanking him for his NFL career and congratulating him on his retirement. beautiful. don't let this chump back us down.

in their defense they mistook Daniel Jones for Mac Jones because their collective IQ of the NFL is akin our IQ of the WNBA.

i'm starting to wonder if Jackson is mentally done/spent.
