They're getting pressure. That's what they need.

Even his interceptions are jaw dropping!

Yes! What horrible drop.

I wouldn't mind being insane like that.

Whoever wins a lot of games and puts up the best stats.

There is usually a correlation between the two, but I'd say it is pretty common to refer to both when discussing the success of a defense. Those are the two most common, and then people often discuss turnovers, sacks, red zone percentages, etc. They all tell a piece of the story.

Letting his body go at age 71... Anyway, he has basically always looked something like he does now. Maybe back in his coordinator days he was more fit, but for the past 15 to 20 years this has been his physique.

You are taking this way too seriously. People are just joking around about it.

Well, I disagree. All stats have meaning and all of them work together to paint a picture of a player, a team, etc. Yeah, you don't want to take one stat and make it mean more than it does. But when you take a bunch of stats together and they are all pointing to the same thing (that a player is good, bad, or anything in between), clearly they all have meaning. And that includes QB wins and superbowls. This doesn't mean anything for any other position, but it does for QB's, because they actually have a real impact on wins and losses. It is a team sport, but the QB is by far the most important position and the most impactful to wins and losses.

Well, he kind of forced his son in that one video, and it came across as pretty creepy, in my opinion.

It's not. You've never seen this? Tom also kisses his son on the lips.

It wasn't even that long ago that $20 million a year was good QB money. Things have ballooned really quickly over the last decade. Peyton Manning was the highest paid QB in the NFL in 2010 and was making $19 million a season. We're more than double that now.

Well the difference is your team would suck but Beane's is a top 3 to 5 team in the entire NFL and continually wins playoff games every year. Which GM's continually draft All Pros? Can you name them?

Comeback from sucking?

Lawyer Milloy played 8 more seasons after they moved on from him. They didn't move on because he was old and washed up.

Why isn't Hyde available?

I'm guessing they will rotate a decent amount at both MLB and CB2 depending on the down and distance and defensive scheme. Might see Elam more when man coverage is called, and Benford and Jackson in zone.

Ok. I literally could not think of anything besides offensive tackle.

You are a certified optimist compared to him.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but what does that refer to?

Shorter?

Von Miller is a superstar. He just got hurt last year, but when he played he was everything we wanted him to be. Let's see if he can get back to that this year. Tre White has been an elite corner. Matt Milano is an All Pro linebacker. Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer have been elite safeties. Three of the four of these defensive players were injured last year. I think we have the high end talent. They just almost all got hurt last year. But I agree with the premise. A few years ago I brought up the same thing. You need at least one superstar player on each side of the ball, and one has to be the QB. Preferably two on each side. I think we pretty much have that, but last year was ridiculous with the injuries, including to Josh Allen, who suffered the elbow injury and played through it. I think you are wrong about that. I would bet money that defensive coordinators spend time accounting for him in their game plan.

The Steelers have sucked recently.

Yeah, I draft him every year if I can. There is a wide gulf between him and any other TE, production wise.

This is ridiculous and untrue. Tre White was an elite player. You can doubt that he'll return to form if you want, but there is no doubt that he has been a true difference maker at his position. It seems you just don't understand what you are watching if you think otherwise.
