I think Beane and the pro scouts know more about what players have left in the tank than you and I. Beane wasn't interested in signing a possession receiver. and literally no one has commented on that observing him in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I was so excited to watch this game and it ended up being a bad thunderstorm so my DVR recording of it went in and out— missed some stretches in the first half (at least two packers possessions and the second drive for the Bills), and so didn’t get a great look at our 1st string defense. Can someone give me the down low on the defensive issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can’t disengage blocks, still misreads the hole to fill. What will it take, other than transplanting Klein’s brain? Tremaine has had more than enough time to step up his game. I strongly doubt he gets that big 2nd contract. He's flashed some promise but he's mostly been inconsistent and disappointing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Brown is 3 years younger. Unlike QBs, father time slows down RBs and WRs. I think Sanders will fall into the wiley veteran with good hands role. I expect him to lull the CB2 to sleep and double move him, but I don't think he is the just run deep guy anymore. Edit: I'll also add, I think Diggs has come out and said he wants to run deeper routes too. Could be E takes some of the middle routes DIggs was running last year. I just don't know how many over the top shots they're going to get for anybody this year. Nobody even bothers trying to play man against this offense any more (and if they do it lasts about 1.5 series) and with Allen's insane arm, defenses are going to have to have centerfielders out there on almost every snap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a prove it year. His contract clock is ticking like a time bomb. There’s no way around it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Listening to Beane, it sure sounded like Phillips and Zimmer made the team. Threw in props for Johnson too. If I'm Butler/Addison, I'm concerned I will be on a new team in a few days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the havoc Rodgers/Adams would have wrought against Cam Lewis today.. Not knocking Cam (he's still developing), but he did get lost on a couple of his coverages today.

White is great. Wallace is OK. Big step down to Dane Jackson, then there's a cliff, seems to me. I dunno, seems to me Poyer and Hyde work together so seamlessly that even a good safety plugged in for one of them is a big step down. Hyde is playing so far this year like his jock is on fire and only an interception will put it out. 2 minutes ago, Simon said: McDermott did it on purpose so Mitch would be ready to do it again when it counted. Seriously, he said so? [Edit: just saw Sal C's tweet, so I now know you got it] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
