    We can just dance around the true issues as much as we want but it’s truly pointless. The issue has been the same for 7 full years. Outside of the Jags playoff loss. Always the same. The defensive coaching needs to step up. The defense needs a philosophical overhaul to something more aggressive and less predictable. Making stops. That’s how it happens. Not praying for turnovers. Not watching good QBs absolutely shred us on every 3rd down. The defensive coaching needs to step up. That’s the whole answer 

    Love this post.  There are other ways to win but this is most simple. Our defense making plays with mcds current scheme is another way.  Need some rookies to be more than jags.

    He's not a potential super star. 

    I think a lot of gms disagree with that.  I'm not sure myself.   With top tier qb play does that change his game?  I think likely yes, question is by how much.  If you're a gm and think he is a superstar just waiting for a good qb, you try and make it work.

    I do find it fascinating that someone like Tuel who is still a young man is now in this very corporate job, going to an office, wearing a suit, and he can sit there and say he started an NFL game. A great ice breaker for team building days.

    This is true, and he's probably a pretty big guy standing beside someone that's average.   Seeing him on TV playing football he seemed tiny though.

    Our current surface is turf so there won't be mud.  If the game was in Baltimore, where they have natural grass, then your statement would make sense because natural grass grows on dirt.  When dirt gets wet, it turns into mud.

     

    So since this is a home game, there is a possibility they stomp us but it won't be in mud.  "Curb stomp" wouldn't apply either because there isn't any curbs on the field.  

     

    I encourage you to use another phrase more applicable.  

    The steps in the stadium can be used in lieu of a traditional curb.

  5. F that lol, jets would be perfect.   I think we lose week 1.  If our defense is actually revamped and for real, maybe we can pull out a win.  But I have a bad feeling Henry is going get 20 plus touches for a crapload of yards.  Hope I'm wrong and we crush them of course.  Ravens definitely started slow last year so who knows.

    Having to declare it before a trailing team uses it relegates it to nothing more than a desperation play, like a Hail Mary. They need to find a way of making it useable again without restriction, or eliminate it altogether. It used to be part of the game strategy, now it's a perfunctory thing to do in a 1 score game before the trailing team ultimately loses.

    They should just do like one 4th down play to get 15 yards or something like that.

    I said that if they go the difficult kicking route, rather than a FG, I’d like to see the punter stand at the 50 yard line, all by himself, and have to punt the ball inside the opponent’s 5 yard line to win back possession. He can coffin corner the kick or it would have to come to a rolling stop. Anything short of the 5 or in the endzone is a failed attempt. Would be exciting to watch and make the punter more meaningful at least. 

    I feel like it'd have too high a success rate.

    I get it but I’ve seen enough off script plays from him where I think he’s a little bit more than just a good system quarterback.  I’d take him above Tua, Love, or Lawrence if forced to pick. He has a high floor and can win with him at that salary if you consistently nail the draft.

    I dont see it but its possible.  I figured they'd do a mini rebuild after losing so many guys this year but it doesn't seem like that's their plan.

    FWIW with Purdy.  He's an above average starting QB and this contract won't look as bad a couple of years from now imo.

     

     

    It's not just the yearly cap, it's the 5 year term.  Locking in to a guy whose at best above average is crazy to me.  I get a 2 year deal for high money but more is insane to me.  I am blown away that they did this.

    Behave. He isn't calling out the MVP. He is doing exactly the opposite. He is saying that guy's the best so that's the one I wanna get. 

     

    You have to be seriously sensitive to have a problem with this.

    I didn't read it like he had a problem with it.   Who knows though, maybe this guy will be some sort of epic trash talker?  We will see.

    They want Rodgers. They wouldn't even be considering that if they weren't in win-now mode. They have a lot of aging veterans, and just traded for Metcalf. Admittedly it's a weird state they're in with the QB. If they can't get Rodger, I'd expect them to make a run at Cousins, or perhaps they'll talk to Tannehill.

    Maybe, but I cannot see a team being that delusional.  Arod from 5 years ago might make them a contender.   I think it's more likely they're finally realizing they gotta bottom out.  We'll see.  Maybe they got DK to have a good wr to be ready for a good rookie qb next year?  That sounds odd too.  Weird situation.   Qb hell.

  11. I dont know why but I want Deone to make it more than anyone else.  Always loved giant, game-wrecking DTs like Wilfork and Washington.   I know his chances aren't great, his build isn't ideal, back problems for a big guy are a bad sign.  But this monster becoming a force could change our defensive identity.

  12. More than any year before I am interested in the preseason.   We need a couple draft picks to hit.  We could really use one or more to be better than just good.  Any one of our 1st four picks end up having ROY type season it could really change our defense.

    Anyone else worried about Josh? Apparently his new girl did some pretty explicit scenes in her new movie and then went on a flirt tour with the guy who played creed. Lots of chatter. One of my graduate students who is on love with allen was showing me. She was mad enough to fight! I know nothing about Hailee and she is not my concern, but it is obvious that Josh loves her and she is holding the cards. Clip after clip of fee bragging on her co star, touching his shoulder and she would barely mention Allen. 
     

    josh is a strong guy, but those kind of things fester. He is the butt of every joke on x and tik tok apparently. Can u imagine whats going to be said between the whistles? She showed me some stuff that didnt set well. Sounds like she really enjoyed her grown up scenes im assuming they are still a couple and headed towards marriage, but my opinion of her has dropped. I just hate to see her tendencies affect his play on the field. He is a great dude, i feel he deserves to be treated right

     

    Isn't that all normal show biz stuff?  I mean, rare is it when actors promote a movie and not speak in glowing term about costars.  Sounds like nothing to me.

    Not that this is a surprise, but a good year from Hairston would make a huge difference.  Improvement from last year's top 2 picks would also be very welcome.

    I'm going to assume he's going to be at least serviceable.  Need a defensive pick to be good and we'll have a superbowl shot.  Lots of good teams in the afc though.
