Royale with Cheese

I just met Rodney Harrison at the airport. Super nice guy. He told me Belicheck has more personality than what the fans see on TV. Told me Manning was the hardest QB to defend. Said a dominant TE is the hardest to stop. We were talking Bowers from UGA and said he thinks he needs to shut it down for the season. He will be a top 5 pick so no need to risk him on the field. He likes Dalton Kincaid and I asked him why we can’t incorporate him in more….he doesn’t know. We also talked about the grind of the season. He told me that a 16-17 game season, its hard mentally and physically….like real hard. Playing down to your competition is what happens sometimes. He thinks the Bills and Eagles have the same problem now. Allen and Hurts relying on our #1 targets (Diggs/Brown) to make the big plays….especially off script. Need to get more people involved.

The Bengals looked good against the Cards but yesterday, they looked bad again. Geno Smith took two consecutive sacks on 4th down in the last two drives. The Bengals got lucky like we did yesterday.

The Bills, Chiefs and Bengals are all off this year. All 3 have had great games but not anywhere near consistent as in the past. All 3 has had lackluster performances against really poor teams. About a 3rd of the season is complete and these offenses are nowhere near the level of production they should be at. Do you think defenses are figuring these offenses out? Or are these mainly issues with these offenses?

I saw a screenshot where his knee was down. I didn’t see it from the stands and they didn’t show a good replay. Was it clearly out?

AJ and I made eye contact yesterday and I told him I loved him. He said he loved me back with a smile. I’m not lying either. He definitely looks like he likes it here.

But you’re also getting a “safer” option because the FA is more of a known commodity. If that draft pick busts, then you have created two problems. One, not getting anything from the draft pick. 2, you didn’t satisfy another area where you could have. I am not arguing about the money part, you’re absolutely right. It’s more of the commitment I’m talking about. I feel we would have brought on Von Miller even if our DL was very good before he signed.

Carter is a top 10 pick. You’re committed to him for the next 5 years. The Eagles had other areas they could have used a top 10 pick but they chose a pass rusher.

No its not lol. Both teams were in position to take a pass rusher as a high investment and both took it.

No I don’t. Was it a mistake for the Colts to NOT get rid of Peyton Manning because he didn’t win a Super Bowl in his first 8 seasons?

If you can an elite pass rusher, regardless of what you have, you get him. The Eagles had the 3rd most sacks in NFL history last year. Who did they draft in the first round this year? Another pass rusher. Was that an implication that they had ineffective pass rushers?

It wasn’t a fumble and he made the first two guys miss on the tackle.

Epenesa was developing and the change in DC seems to have made a significant difference. Rousseau has been good and now hitting his peak. Oliver didn’t have the sack numbers but he was a disruptor. He is now elite.

Are you really saying Ed Oliver, Greg Rousseau and AJ Epenesa are ineffective pass rushers?

I was screaming at the replay because at the game, they showed one angle and you couldn’t tell. Why were they showing a shot??

Geezus…be a man.

Who has a better offense? Dolphins or Giants?

I should have worded it better. 9 tackles and 3 TFL for 12 total.

He had 12 tackles and 3 TFL.

I was at the game. It wasn’t that loud. I think it had a lot to do with the fans being frustrated. Everyone around me was pretty pissed with the offense and had the mindset that we should beat this team by 20.

Defense has a lot of pregame energy.

Colts Ravens Chiefs twice Bengals Pats Dolphins I missed the 13 seconds game. But outside of those two games, perfect game and 13 seconds….where has he been elite?

Initially yes lol? Like the first drive?? They were down 14 after our second drive. What a game plan lol. Josh Allen isn’t a dual threat or something? You know Allen hasn’t been elite in the playoffs outside of the NE game. McDermotts fault right? So lets use your philosophy then. That means that any team that stops our offense isn’t impressive, because like you said, we lack the dual threat so we should be easy to stop. Points clearly don’t matter to you. “It doesn’t matter if those teams scored a lot of points, since I believe they aren’t a dual threat, so those offenses should be easy to stop”

Our game plan was to stop the run when we scored TD’s on every drive against the Pats? We were up 28 points by the midpoint of the 2nd quarter and McDermott is playing the run?

Man, you will make sure you will find the negative. The year our defense stopped the Ravens, they were 7th in the league in scoring. In their last 5 games, they scored 37, 47, 40, 27 and 38 points. Clearly, Lamar Jackson being one dimensional means they couldn’t score. In 2021, New England was 6th in the NFL in scoring. They were only .4 points less per game than the Rams who won the Super Bowl. So clearly, the Pats couldn’t score that year either.

You are wrong here Gugs.
