💯 grounding

Even if it's not, the respect defense will have to give to the run will open the passing game up.

Beane and McDermott know our defense has multiple holes with all the injuries. Getting a back like Henry could allow for a change to a ball control offense thats goal is to keep the defense off the field as much as possible. In a sense, you'd be fixing the defense with one move on offense rather than multiple moves on defense. Think about it, what's easier? Trade for an absolute beast of a RB or a starting CB, LBer, and DT?

That's how we ended up with Jerry Hughes

Or don't settle with what they have

He's also running behind the o-line that helped block for the league leader in rushing last season. Taylor is good, but he didn't do it by himself

Comprehension sure is a challenge for you, huh?

The thread subject literally is about taking away Josh's running. It's quite obvious my comment was about Josh and not the entire offense. I'll leave you to your book since it seems like you may need to read up a little more.

My statement went over your head. The Ferrari is Josh.

McDermott has the keys to a Ferrari and drives it like a prius.

McDermott needs to face the fact his defensive is decimated and he needs his offense putting up 30 a game. This defense won't hold anyone under 20 the rest of the year

A defensive starting backup corners, backup linebackers and a backup DT. And McDermott handcuffing his biggest offensive weapon.

Teams know theres an emphasis of Josh staying in the pocket and that they've taking the run options away. Belichek ain't no dummy and has schemed up pressure packages to keep Josh uncomfortable. This is why you don't take that weapon away from Josh and you let the kid play his game. They could at least mix it in a bit to keep the defense thinking about it rather than scrap it completely.

Seemed like there was a lot of movement across the board. 49ers lined dropped too. Scoring across the NFL has been down

Now sure. You could of said the same thing about baseball and basketball 30 years ago. Not sure if you are old enough to remember the "Dream Team" that dominated basketball in the Olympics in the 90's. We all know to well how the NFL is trying to go international and this is the stage to spur interest internationally.

Wasn't he playing flag football on the beach? Quite a bit different footing.

It's a physical sport. Injuries are are a price of doing business in football and an acceptable risk that many are willing to take to play the game. Of course you want to limit them. No one wants a player out because of injury or to have life-long issues as a result. At least these guys are heavily compensated for the risk they are taking. If the NFL is so concerned about injuries, why aren't they changing fields to grass? They just played multiple weeks in London on a surface that players complained of being like cement. They agreed to that surface over the grass surface that was already there. Surely because the soccer fokes said they didn't want them tearing up their field. The NFL is so greedy and wanted their international games so bad, they allowed players to play on cement-like turf.

Right. The two moving parts that are significantly more difficult to get a hold of than the body.

How do you lead with your shoulder and drive through a player when trying to tackle from behind? These tackles don't occur when the defensive player is facing them head on. It's typically from the side or the back when the defensive player is in pursuit. What's next? Once a player gets by you, you have to let them go?

Josh being Josh got them to the AFC championship game and divisional, which they should have won. The problem with taking that element out of his game is when a defense has the offense shut down, he doesn't have that tool in his tool box anymore to create a spark. I'm not saying he can't evolve into a more traditional passer. I'm saying don't take away what makes him, him. Do you see Andy Reid trying to make Mahomes a traditional passer? No. He lets Pat be Pat and takes advantage of his unique play set.

I've been saying the same thing since game one this season. You have to let Josh be Josh. They are essentially taking away the element that makes him special. His ability to play off script is the weapon that frustrates defenses and our coaching staff wants to handicap him by taking that element out of his game.

Did you guys really think he was going to resume where he was preinjury the first two games back in less than a year?

Dolphins 4-1 and can't even sell out their stadium

This is what happens when you roll with Mac Jones as your QB.

I'd rather look at one of their corners or linebackers
