My ranking would be Browns Dolphins Raiders Colts Titans Ravens Good teams are gonna miss the playoffs. Hoping Steelers slide to the 2 seed (or even 3 behind us) which should be a fun divisional round.

@Cover 1 has a good video on Keenan Allen match up

Still on the IR for another week. So will not be playing this game.

Titans colts this week is pretty important to seeding. A colts win gives us a good shot at the 3 seed.

I always like the @Cover 1 guys. This was a pretty interesting video on the defensive fronts. I suspect we see similar this week. Those calling for Edmunds as an OLB might like this as a compromise.

Thanks didn’t realize this. Considering McKenzie won the throwing competition last year maybe he did pass the rock 🤪. Maybe they got into a back and forth cause of his experience which is where the throwing competition came from.

I think they are very different offenses. Ravens play option with multiple TEs. Cards spread you out with WR and play air raid.

Definitely and its certainly a tip of the cap to Murray since we need to players to imitate him.

Someone said it up thread. But you let Mckenzie scramble and then barkley through from somewhere else. Its not a mckenzie or barkley in. Mckenzie always takes teh shotgun snap and then let Barkley rip. Its probably a bit weird but I think it would be pretty effective.

Interesting. Back to collapse the pocket with 4 to get pressure. I think that makes sense but he could have a lot time back there to diagnose zones. Keeping him contained is def important as his vision will also be obstructed.

Fixed it for you.

I was taking it as a general replacement of pieces comment which I can agree with.

Danger Russ and Kirk Cousins (not nearly as many attempts for him though) also have an interesting blend of High On Target and High Air Yards

I have also thought the lack of holding had an larger effect on us than the rest of the league since we never seemed to win with outright 1 on 1 wins so much as collapsing the pocket. Giving a QB anextra 0.5-1 seconds (i have no data on how much longer QBs have now) would really challenge any defense. Bringing an extra guy or doing a creeper pressure would seem necessary to take away that extra time.

I agree thats the most exciting part. This game didnt move the needle much with regards to winning the division but it really showed what we can do when we find our identity. Cautiously optimistic that we have found an identity on defense...

We should know tomorrow with the injury report. I thinking he couldve gone back in but they held him out.

Great point. I was expecting him to have more of a role this year, and have sorta forgotten about him. Maybe if they are settling into a more blitzing/aggressive defense they will use him more.

Think this is the game plan again. Hoping Hyde and Poyer are disguising coverages against him like they did against Wilson.

I totally agree to keep Murray in the pocket and I think youre right that will be similar between the game plans. Its the personnel thats making it tough for me. Ravens are playing with multiple TEs so we what presonnel do we put out there to generate contain (probably nickel), whereas with the Cards we might need to contain with Dime which would be pretty different. But yes agree the need to keep both them of them in the pocket is critical (again I think the Seattle and Texans game plans would have this too).

100% agree. I keep seeing posters talking about using the Ravens game plan and just dont get it. Maybe someone will tell us why, but yeah agree totally different offenses.

I agree. Why does everyone keep saying get that game plan out? Is it cause that was a really good game plan. I thought last week we had a really good one too.

I have heard the Ravens game referenced a lot and I dont get it. Ravens used their TEs and option game. Cards use the WR in a spread and Murray on the scramble. I see this closer to the Seahawks game than I do the Ravens game (I would say Texans last year more than Ravens too). Can someone elaborate (more than Jackson and Murray are both dynamic) why the Ravens Game plan is needed here ?

I read it a bit wrong. I think that most of that paragraph was talking about the Pats game last week and it tripped me up. Hawks are contenders still imo.

Super bowl contenders 😆 Yeah very delusional Buffalo didn't play particularly well in that win over New England, but it quieted many critics Sunday with a great performance against a legit Super Bowl contender. I think I see now it did mean the Hawks but it was pretty unclear and I read it with the rest of the nonsense

Yeah agree its not much of a concern but maybe a swim or shed of the block if you know its coming. The ball doesnt have heat on it.
