Star has broke foot, out for playoffs

I think this affects the 4th quarter. With our other 2 NT's and the LB core, we'll still be able to contain Lynch for 2-3 quarters.

If we can score some to force them to go to the air, we'll be ok. The answer for his absence comes from the offense, not the defense.

That being said I'd drop our chances of winning from 20-30% to 10-20%.

It's strange, but there have been some games this season where you can tell that Wilson has worked on his pocket presence and hitting quick passes from the pocket, and then there are some where he does feel phantom pressure. With that said, there are plenty of plays in Seattle's playbook that involve moving that pocket around or rolling Wilson out. Wilson CAN play from the pocket, but it does limit his improvisational magic.

Yes Brady CAN also run the read option but you and I know how effective he will be. Until RW learns to stand in the pocket and read the field and throw, he will never be a top QB. He will be needing to do more of that next season should lynch leave.

Panthers were 0-2 without Star, gave up 149 rushing YPG, to the 31st and 14th ranked rushing offense.

yeah but Star was there when we were losing also. The difference in our D has been due to more disciplined play on the backend. Increased pressure from CJ has also helped.

If we really wanted to, Goodell has no ground to stand on if we demand Hardy play.

Just saying.

 

Please god make that happen.

 

 

Big Frank should be back in the line up this week. He looks pretty damn jacked. It may serve us well to have him playing more of a hybrid role with Ealy against a guy like Wilson.

Well, I think that learning process has begun, though he's certainly not on the level of the elite QBs in that regard yet. I agree that he'll need to work on that part of his game more if/when Lynch is done in Seattle. I think the Hawks will always dedicate themselves to a strong run game as long as Carroll (or a Carroll disciple) is in charge, but as Wilson gets older, he's not going to be able to use his legs as effectively. He might still retain some elusiveness, but he won't be able to get around the corner against a young LB.

 

EDIT: Just realized I'm hijacking the thread a bit, so I'll leave the discussion of Wilson alone going forward. Sorry about Lotulelei. I like that dude.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
