K-9

“Cavalcade of awful.” Nice.

They fired their S&C coach, that’s it. They lost Denny Kellington, who, along with others on the staff, was credited with saving Damar’s life. The rest of that award winning training staff were retained.

No worries. My old, over-officious habits die hard, what can I say.

Allow me a slight nitpick here. Odd numbered techs don’t denote a straight-up gap assignment. Rather they refer to “shades” as in those techs are shading a shoulder of either the G or T (1T, 3T, 5T) or the TE (7T).

When I think of all the years Bruce spent in a 34 defense I can only wonder what his record would have been as a 43 DE instead.

I would add that there are also 2, 4, and 6 techs as well. They allude to lining up directly over the G, T, and TE, respectively.

I’m ok with nose guard. But the coach-speak football nerds like to be cool as if they’re in the film room breaking things down. Yeah. That’s what I said.

Nose guard is 0 tech.

Big onions indeed.

Wow.

I don’t think I came anywhere close to suggesting otherwise. Micah had all the tools required, both physical and mental.

A couple years in an NFL training and nutritional program and there is absolutely no reason why not, assuming he stays healthy. He was projected as a first round pick by some after his second year in college before his back injury in his final college season last year. He’s got all the tools.

I appreciate where you’re coming from but imo, 26-6 is exactly why it doesn’t make sense because those previous games have zero relevance to the next game. Pats*** haven’t had a QB this talented since Brady both physically and mentally. The kid can flat out play.

I agree. But I’ve never taken opponents lightly, especially division opponents. We have a tendency to do that around these parts.

Pats*** may not be the easy W many presumed previously. Maye can play.

I can’t fault the coverage schemes too much as Miami has receivers that can kill you over the top and McD has sought to take that away every time we play them and quite successfully. Miami planned for this and sought to force us to lose discipline as they played short ball most of the game. The fact they were at a negative average depth per pass late into the first half bore this out. Heck, they were still just a little over three yards average depth late in the third quarter and didn’t get to over five yards, still well short of their average coming in, until late in the game when we backed off even more. And I think it’s worth noting that on several of the passes Tua hurt us with were when he was uncharacteristically extending plays with his feet and forcing DBs to hold coverage far longer than any DBs can be asked to hold coverage.

In our jumbo sets Sunday night, Anderson came in and replaced Kincaid.

Yep. Mahomes looked downright skittish at times, which I’d not seen in him before.

I can’t argue your larger point about Tre and those concerns, but I have to disagree that it was the Eagles CB coverage schemes that played a major factor in their SB win. More than any single factor was the Eagles’ ability to get big pressure from four rushers and dropping seven in coverage that did more than anything else in making Mahomes miserable and that’s what got our coach’s attention more than anything imo. I think that was reflected in both free agency and the draft.

Rest. 3 games in 12 days can wear on a team and we looked tired up front.

Amazing when we consider 0 for the 70s. I mean 20 in a row is impossible to turn around right? Right?

I’ve come to the conclusion that we are a spoiled lot of fans. Does anyone remember when we really sucked?

Tua moved as well as I’ve ever seen him and kept plays alive. I don’t care how good your pass coverage is on the back seven, you are not gonna be able cover everyone for that long. Especially a group of WRs as good as Miami’s. Full credit to Tua.
