Buffalo Junction

Easily career Martellus Bennet to late career Bubba Franks?

Do you have any idea how obnoxious Bears fans are when the team is good? I can do without experiencing that again. Packers may be boring, but at least their fans aren’t a pain in the ass.

Finally made a play on defense

Parsons is a better run defender than most give him credit for, but there are issues that need to be accounted for. First, he lacks size compared to DE’s. That means talented long athletic O tackles like Spencer Brown can wash him out. Couple that with a good back that has solid vision and you might not see Parsons for most of a game unless it’s a blow out. He’s more of an edge than a DE, so that lack of size needs to be maximized with scheme. Dallas playing him at DE too much in a 4 man front wasn’t good for his run defense. Secondly, Parsons likes to big play hunt. He’ll crash instead maintain contain if he believes it’ll result in a sack or TFL. He also presses when other players aren’t getting the job done. That’s been accounted for in GB with scheme and the talent around him. They’d be good complimentary players. Particularly if Parsons got used in that role we say Hoecht in on 3rd and long.

Depends on what part of the season. They had a pro bowl TE, probowl receiver, and a probowl rb that all ended up on IR that season. You can downplay Driver’s ability if you’d like, but four pro bowls (when it mattered) and over 10,000 career receiving yards leads me to believe that guy could ball. Honestly, Driver’s pretty comparable to Diggs…. Reliable route running z-receiver with quick feet that can work his way open regardless of coverage. Not to mention that he could rely on his defense that had a pair of probowl DEs and a pair of probowl DBs.

He actually kept the backs in a fair amount, and the TEs were chipping. The problem is that the Texans stayed in man coverage all night and the guys responsible for our backs and TEs utilized that freedom to create simulated pressure, delayed blitzes, and spy Allen when they stayed in. Brady had no answer for that. There was no effective scheme adjustment, and no one on offense was reliably winning their 1v1’s.

Well, with Shaq on one side and Rousseau on the other we’ll really get to see how bad our DTs and LBs are at stopping the run.

Because there isn’t a single receiver on this roster that can reliably beat man coverage in under 3 seconds.

The offensive line hasn’t shown up in any road games besides the Panthers game.

Oh look. Brady realized Cook is a viable weapon that opens up the offense. 🤦‍♂️

It likely doesn’t have an immediate impact on his roster status. Gotta remember that they’re watching the totality of his performance where he was also blocking his ass off which resulted in some of Davis’ return success.

Spitting = fighting words.

That’d be a blast if they tampered. It’d be practically impossible to land a top coach if they lost a bunch of draft picks.

Yup, and if it’s PA or turns into a pass one of the Blitzers muddles their rush and spies Allen. Brady has no real answer for it.

Can’t blame Bishop there

Since when has Tre been one of the most reliable tacklers on the team.

Does Walker lead the team in passes defended?

It’s always QB and trenches first and foremost. If a team is bad at two out of three — QB, OL, DL — they generally top out at a .500 record. When a team is good in all three they’re generally a playoff team regardless of the strength of other position groups. With regards to value at other positions…. Fill in the best talent that you can find because guys like Cook, Gibbs, Jefferson, Chase, etc don’t grow on trees. Get the trenches right, find a QB, get a few playmakers and most competent coordinators should be able to make something positive happen.

McDermott is a good enough play caller to work around some of these issues. However, McD is still going to get caught from time to time with the wrong call solely because of available talent. You can manufacture pressure, run stops, etc, but you have to gamble a bit to pull it off.

Achilles injury coming up

The fun play is going to come from him jumping an out route.

Bishop seems to be showing up with Poyer next to him instead of Rapp.

Watching that Packers/Steelers game last night was a bit eye opening with regards to this…. It seemed like LeFleur had an answer schemed up for almost everything the Steelers threw at them.

They just brought him back from IR after Havrisik was doing well…. They might just IR him again or cut him.

Not with the way the referees call penalties. A few games aside I haven’t really paid attention to Parsons while he was in Dallas. I’ve seen four GB games this year and it seems like the refs haven’t been calling blatant/flagrant holding on him or Gary since week one — not arm bar stuff, but legit headlock from behind holding. Honestly feels like Oline penalties have been selective all year for most teams though. Holding, false starts, illegal cut blocks, etc seem to be more subjective than normal this year.
