Being able to beat the guy across from you. And we don’t get that done as much as we should.

Changing the gameplan due to weather
oldmanfan replied to Miyagi-Do Karate's topic in The Stadium Wall
If it’s not windy they should make him beat us deep. Either way. They run it and have him throw short routes. Be like a Belichick and take away what they do well, and force them to do something different. -
Teams could have traded up to get Allen. Wasted opportunity. Teams could have traded for Diggs and didn’t. Wasted opportunity. Every team in the league had multiple shots at drafting Brady and didn’t. Wasted opportunity. I could keep this going for probably a month straight but do you get the point?

McD sending a message to him and Moss. And I read somewhere that the two were partying in the French Quarter Wednesday night. -

I am not convinced Brown won’t have the same lasting Covid effects as it appears Dawkins has. -

Shaw nails it as always. I posted a couple days ago that we are a soft team. And that starts on the lines. We have guys that get physically beat time after time.

Sean McDermott: A Parallel to the Business World
oldmanfan replied to saundena's topic in The Stadium Wall
There are things he can improve on like most of us. Right now the biggest problem we have is a lack of physicality on both lines; I don’t think you can coach that. We are too predictable though and that is something he needs to address with the coordinators. -
if I'm Beane and McD I do the following: 1. Call up Williams and have him and Brieda in the backfield, and sit Singletary and Moss. Williams hit holes with purpose when he had his brief look last year and we need that right now. 2. Put Douglas and Bates at some combo of LT and LG. Release Ford - send a message to the team that poor performance is no longer going to be tolerated. Scour the reserve rosters for O and D linemen that may not be the most mobile, but are strong physically, and get them in here. We are getting destroyed up front by tougher teams. 3. When playing a strong running team, put 8 guys in the box and stop the run. Take a page from the Belichick playbook and take away the other team's strengths. Our forte on D is the DBs; let them go man on man and do what you have to do to take away what every team is doing to us now. 4. Coach aggressively. Go for it more on fourth down. Sit guys who committ stupid penalties.

Serious question; what causes a team to pancake like this?
oldmanfan replied to npeartisgod's topic in The Stadium Wall
In our losses both our lines were physically dominated by the opposition. And there's not much to do about that right now. -
Week 12: Bills at Saints on Thanksgiving
oldmanfan replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
I am sure the Saints will do what they know now what works against the Bills. They will focus on running the ball. especially if Star and Edmunds are out again. And the odds are they will be successful, given the documented struggles our D has against that plan. Can McD and Frazier put together a more effective plan, much like they did against the Ravens in last year's playoffs? Or will they play the sets they played yesterday and allow the other team to physically dominate the POS? On offense, they will ignore the run because they know we either can't or won't run, play back in Cover 2, and put tons of pressure on Josh as they also know our O line is weak. Coaches on the other teams adjust their schemes to match our strengths and weaknesses, but our coaches seem to have trouble doing the same. The coaches need to put the players in schemes to allow them to succeed, and up front our guys on both sides of the ball have to up their intensity and their physicality. Otherwise I think we are vulnerable to another loss.
