Previous management never got the importance of a solid secondary, and admitted as much. One thing we KNOW about Fitterer is that he understands the havoc a strong secondary can create.

I mentioned this in another thread almost verbatim. 8 consecutive draft picks on D plus Fox, Jones, and Reddick as high-end FA pick ups makes us formidable AF!

I said, preseason, that we had a decent shot for that extra wild card spot. Fug that! I want a bye in the playoffs!!

34-0 Panthers Snow's D pitches a shutout. 6 sack, 4 interception game. CMC rushes for 150+ yards and a TD and catches a TD. Arnold and Marshall each get their 1st TD. Robbie gets a TD.

The Texans game plan for blocking our pass rush:

All it takes is drafting starters in the mid rounds, somewhere that we have not historically been good, but appear to be getting a lot better at. As long as you have starters on rookie contracts, you have money.

And with current staff, we have the money to do so!

I really think that this is what is going on. Brady will open up more of his play book every game as long as Sam continues to progress. No reason to get cutsey as long as our D is making sure we're playing with a lead. If Sam, or any QB, has to worry about game-winning drives and taking the team on their back, it opens the floodgates for mistakes and going back to what we saw when he was a jet.

Different QB, same ole Jets.

FIFY

IDK, You have to have the right personnel in place for this kind of shenanigans to work. We spent a lot of draft and FA capital over the last 2 years collecting these players.

OR... he built the hard hitting D that he needs to win, and NOW he can finish up building the offense. We extended Moton and Anderson (a Rhule pickup last year) and picked up the 5th year options on DJ and Sam.

Those taxes are brutal Hoss!

That is why it will take a while for others to copy cat Snow. Rhule spent 8 consecutive draft picks (plus a few more) and a good part of this off season building this defensive personnel. Snow did well last season, as the article points out, with only 1/2 the pieces in place. NOW he has the rest of them, so he can do everything he wanted.

Then why get rid of all the fullbacks??? Seriously, Armah wasn't great, but he could fuggin block!

This guy understands! I like him already.

Bring it! Even the great Tom Brady's arm has to be a little sore by weeks 16 and 18 at 44 years old. We're winning the division! I know, I know, I've heard that before too, but It finally caught up to Drew, even TB has his limits.

Dak will be the first "good" QB he'll face. that match up will be telling.

If opponents are NOT targeting his man, that tells me all I need to know about what he is all about!

A few more games like this, and I might to think that Rhule is some kind of weird Snow charity case!

I, like 95% of the board, may end up eating a lot of crow before the season is over. I am surprised, in a good way, at how well our linebackers have played with this stout line and secondary complimenting them.

Smash mouth, smothering Defense and a stout running game...MY kind of football. I love it.

SO GOOD! SO GOOD! SO GOOD!
