    I coached against a youth team who used the tush push as one of their primary plays, they'd get 10+ yards sometimes. Aiding the runner was illegal, but the refs refused to call it all year. After they got us with it a few times, I figured out the solution- cut the Center. I had one of my DTs immediately dive into the Center's legs on the snap, the QB & most of the OL would fall over him into a pile. After 2 attempts of no gain and their Center limping back to the huddle, they gave up on it.

     

    I'm sure Kelce doesn't want 300lb guys falling into his knees, so even if it doesn't completely stop them, at worst it'd be a deterrent.


    If you watch the play Kelsey literally headbutts the ground when he snaps the ball to make sure no one gets lower than him.

    I don't think they've been stopped with 1 yard to go when using this play so far. Basically undefendable. A HUGE advantage that you're guaranteed a 1st down whenever you face 3rd or 4th and short. But there HAS to be a way.. right? The best way I can think to battle that play would be come up with a whole new different defensive front. You need to get as big and as strong as possible. Leave the normal goal line DLine in. But sub out LB's and put Torrence and Dawkins in. And have them right on the butts of the DT. And when the ball is snapped they just plow into the pile and try and push it back or create a roadblock of sorts. Almost like a reverse tug of war... A push of war? And once you've stalemated the push, you can have guys jumping over the pile, like you see now, and try and drag Hurts down. To stop something innovative like their version of the Qb sneak, you need to be innovative yourself. Could this work? Does anyone have any other ideas?


    I like the concept of thinking of something new, but a lot of times, they hurry to the line and don’t allow the D the substitute.

    He was an English explorer who famously led an expedition to Antarctica in 1914.  The weather turned cold earlier than expected and their ship was crushed by pack ice.  They had no way to return home or call for help and lived for months on ice floes and, later, a frozen little island with no provisions.  Thanks to Shackleton's leadership, the crew survived for roughly a year before Shackleton managed to get them rescued.  The details of the story are remarkable.  Not only did Shackleton keep his crew alive in near-impossible conditions, he also kept their spirits high and maintained a harmonious atmosphere despite the fact that any reasonable person in that situation would have thought death was their probable fate.  


    Hmmmm I say let’s kick the tires on this one!

    And hire who?  I get it, this loss sucks.  We aren't out of it yet.  The offense did some good things.  Josh and Cook handed the ball over way too many times and we still almost won.  The Broncos beat the chiefs not that long ago.  No changes til the end of the year.  And that's only if there needs to be.

    Screw it, hire the crew from Cover 1. 
     

    That would be fresh and innovative 😁

    Your Opinion On This Team Will Change Tonight If:
     

    They beat Denver so senselessly that Sean Payton visibly cries on the sideline and Netflix removes that horrible movie about him from their library.  Then Kevin James has to come out and publicly apologize for starring in it.  And this all needs to occur before half time.

     

    That's probably the only scenario where I see my opinion shifting.

    I just watched the play on the All-22. At the time that the pass was released, the center was precisely 1 yard downfield. He was 3 yards downfield by the time Stevenson caught Mac's floater. I think that, like usual, Belichick's teams get the details right.


    So it’s where they were when the ball is thrown…I guess that’s a more consistent place to enforce.

     

    Bah…makes sense but still it really looked bad. Dude was almost at the 1st down marker. 
     

    I wish we had innovation and/or crafty experience on our staff…

    I was ok with Williams. He needs time and there is a definitive drop off from Milano to Williams. Hopefully he continues to improve and learns to play smarter.  Where we were really hurting on D is the loss of Daquan Jones.  The Cincinnati playoff game was when I really noticed his impact. He just quietly makes everyone around him so much better. The D-line barely got pressure on Tyrod. ONE SACK on a team that gives up 5-6 a game. That was pitiful.  Phillips has him moments, but he just doesn't command the attention that Daquan does. Ford was not good. I can see why he was an inactive. 

     

    The same goes for Elam. Missing Dane Jackson really hurt the secondary. Elam is brutal and we need to figure out what to do at corner. If we make any trades, CB has to be the top target.  A good #2 WR is next.


    I think Taylor was just playing fast. Much faster than Jones, so the ball came out quicker, leading to fewer pressures/sacks. 
     

    Jones holds onto the ball (when he isn’t fumbling it) much too long. If he was in there, I think you’d see that D performance you were expecting IMO

  8. We should just take the L and the extra bye and either not show, or if the “Bills” contractually obligated, don’t dress the starters until this BS ends.  
     

    Soccer fields are maintained differently than Football fields too.
     

    Soccer wants as much grip as possible as it’s not heavy bodies flying around. 
     

    NFL fields need a bit of slip. All those injuries seemed to be because a limb got caught and rolled.
