No holding?

Fouts is an a hole. Talk about bias in his commentary

Josh is shaken for no reason

He was " the man" when his only competition was Zay, KB, Clay. Now that Smoke, Beasley and Knox are here, well you know.....

I needed an NFL guru to tell me this? Thanks Captain Obvious!

Lol. That Eagle blitz package allowed a 40 year old QB throw for over 500 yards. But, they did win.... thanks to a strip sack TO on the final drive. I would blitz TB on Sunday but you have to pick your spots. To me an occasional blitz on 2nd and long is good. If you can get home you can force a 3rd and longer and keep everything in front of you and get off the field.

Cute. If you're content with beating mediocre competition so far and considering it marked improvement that's fine. We will continue to get the same disregard and disrespect everyone complains about. I want to beat the Pats!! They're not going to playing the same conservative game plan Weeks 1-3 against NE. Show the same wrinkle coming out like in Game 1. Quick paced pressing offense, passing often and moving the chains and keeping the opposition off balance. Show the same resiliency like in Game 2. After getting punched in the face on the opening drive come right back and punch harder and dominate with 3 straight TDs. Show the same testicular fortitude like in Game 3. After dominating for the most part and then losing the lead to come right back and win when momentum is not on your side. Combine all this Sunday and we beat the Pats. So yeah, they should "play better" or as Belicheck puts it, make adjustments.

Perhaps. Pretty sure he wasn't drafted to be a Guard though.

Thats good company to be in as a rookie. He's been everything advertised and justifies his draft status. Now Ford on the other hand............

Sarcasm? Not sure. Maybe you're saying these things mentioned are every game objectives for every football team. If so, duh! But if you've been watching, Josh has been scrambling and under pressure a lot. Ford and Dawkins have been getting blown up constantly. On defense I under stand we are trying to get home with 4 linemen, but their not getting home. At least not when the QB is releasing within 3-4 seconds. Any longer than sure, they clean up. My point is this practice will not be good enough against the Pats.

This is my only issue with his game thus far.

Like 2nd and long.?

Wasn't his Denver Broncos a 13 point dog in the SB against GB? I wonder if he felt they didn't have a chance against Brett Farve and Co. that year.

True but our line men have very adept at batting down balls on those plays

This is where the O line comes in. Sorry guys but IMO their better than last year but that's like being the most handsome in the burn unit. The pass protection has been sub par and has been spared due to Josh's improvisation and athleticism.

Ok, knowing what is in front of you for Sunday what's your Offensive and Defensive strategy? Patriots are missing Wynn and Andrews on the O line. TB is the definition of pocket passer. AB is gone and Edelman is hurt. Burkhead is the #1 RB because Michel has been crap. Their D is good but like us they haven't exactly played any powerhouses. My take Offensively: 1. Take deep shots. Their DBs are physical and aggressive and often get away with holding. Force their hand and encourage down field contact. PI is now reviewable. 2. Make a big effort on protecting Josh in pass protection. I don't care what anyone says, our O line has not been good. Just because we got away with their play against crappy teams doesn't hold water this week. 3. If Motor is available, take the training wheels off and unleash him. 20 touches minimum. 4. Utilize more 2 TE sets. Is Kroft ready? Smith, Knox and Sweeney. The extra protection helps and gives Josh an outlet if things break down. 5. Screw conservative play calling. Unless we're up two scores with 5 minutes left play to win and not to lose. Defensively: 1. Blitz more, especially on 2nd and long situations. Blitzing on 3rd is IMO too risky against Brady who expects it and kills it. 2. Consistent pass rush. I know, I know it's not the priority of our defensive scheme but if you don't make Brady uncomfortable you have no chance. He won't have his usual safety blankets so bring the heat and force mistakes. 3. Like on Offense, screw conservative play. Do not sit back and allow them momentum and a chance to drive. What say you?

I like that.

That's fair.

Taylor. I prefer my DTs not be named after a fruity tea beverage.

Somebody just finished their Tony Robbins DVD Collection. ?

We need Motor in this game and the O line to play lights out to have a chance to win this game.

Pass defense is superb. Containment at the LOS is very good. Run defense has been good. Pass rush is lacking. Red Zone D is terrible. Very good, nowhere near elite. Unfortunately this is how they're schemed and this is how they'll live and die.

I can tell you shifted in another gear on that run.

Apparently OP hasn't paid attention to the O line play. Dawkins is not cutting it and Ford is not an NFL tackle. We have 2 WRs on pace for 1k and a budding TE. WR is not the priority.

Curious. Is Frank a pug?
