We lost half of our defense to injury, if we dont blitz we'd have had the game like the Bengals in the playoff loss. We can't rush 4 and hope our 4th best CB can cover Chase and our 5th best corner cover Tee Higgins, come on man.
I didn't hate the call, I hated the outcome of course but I didn't have a problem with it but thats why I enjoy this board, I may not agree with every poster on here but it's good to see the different takes and mindsets.
That was as good a time as any, if we would have played soft zone and the same happened you'd just flip the script and say "why didn't we blitz on that play". I thought it was thee right call, you live by the blitz and sometimes you die by the blitz. Taron Johnson was also equally clueless defending on that play.
I just mentioned this in another thread..... I bet all of you bitchign about the Blitzing are the same ones who last year said we don't blitz enough. You hated soft zone, now you hate blitzing.
Marquez Valdez Scantling, Allen Lazard, Kadarius Toney, all of the NYG WR, whoever the #2 is in GB? Treylon Burks, Darnell Mooney, Van jefferson just a few off the top of my head.
You could do this for every QB in the league imo, it's 1 play where Allen clearly wanted to take a shot. I bet there is a clip out there when Burrow was struggling and fans were saying he only throws it to Chase, You throw it to the guys that you're comfortable with. I'm not bashing this or saying you're wrong I'm just saying you can do this in probably every game with any QB and you say man he was wide open and he didn't even look his way.
It is but I'm not sure I want to take that big of a downgrade in front of Allen. Morse is the 7th highest paid C in the league at 9.75M, I'm sure we could do better even in the 5M range imo.
I agree it is insufferable sometimes but I also think it's good to vent as well. This team has been so close the past couple of years and are now looking a bit lost so I don't think if these posters have a problem with whatever it is, this is a good place to get it out. I tend not to read a bunch of the threads because I don't want to get sucked into the hate lol but I get it. A nice win and it will be a bit better, a win like the game against Miami would be much needed right now.
I hear you and I think the corners of this era have to have luck as well as talent, with these athletic QB's extending plays it has to be hard to run around with these athletic , tall widerecievers.
It's weird how 2 people can have 2 completely different views but that's what makes sports fun imo, I thought Jackson had an excellent game. He's not perfect by any means but I thought he was our best corner. I'm not sure what happend to Taron Johnson but he has been playing terrible lately imo. But I agree I think Douglas is going to be an excellent addition as well and looking forward to see what he can do.
