I'm hoping this negativity and film watching embarrassment he must have felt in the film sessions will help motivate a man who maybe got a little "fat and happy" with his new contract.

I dont mind the new zone schemes, I'm still hoping they will have some variations of zone blitzes. Those zone blitzes are monster takeaway makers.

I was thinking of how bad ass smitty would be jamming a receiver off the line.

Also, I also think maybe Trgo's "complicated" playbook was b/c he simply didn't have the talent to run Fox's defense....therefore it had to be complicated to try to make enough adjustments to get something workable......I think a dummy version of a defense we aren't built for could be much worse.....

Gamble is going to get abused this year.....he has never earned his recent hype nor his paycheck. Put Gamble out in coverage w/ a below average pass rush and it is going to be a disaster.....Gamble wasn't even that good last year (which is what people will claim). Gamble didn't force guys to throw to the other side....the other side simply sucked much more and was too tempting. Gamble is pretty good on the short passes.....he has always been a disappointment when asked to drop back.

People can moan about Peppers all they want.....I think you can easily argue other guys have contracts that make less sense.

Gamble isn't a Rhodes scholar but football smarts do not necessarily correlate to the Wonderlic. Besides I thought this scheme was supposed to be more simple?

How smart do you have to be to not let a guy get by your bump off the line?? I know it doesn't take any sort of brain power to run fast. The biggest problem I had with him the other night is that he was getting slapped around by a geezer off the line and then didn't have the speed to catch him afterwards...

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      By CRA · Posted

      Geno fits Canales and fits the O.  It’s why Geno worked in Seattle and not Oakland.  He is a deep ball passer.  NFL is about fit.  Geno would beat Bryce out in 2 weeks in a real camp battle.  Which ain’t Geno praise.  It’s just recognition Geno is a round peg and that is what we are lacking

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      Awesome idea.  Let's make Cincinnati an offer.  I'm 100% sure they are ready to give up on Burrow. That is if you can keep him on the field.  He's been available how many games over that past 3 seasons? Getting Burrow is about as realistic as finding the allusive Rainbow Unicorn.  Do you realize that Young was responsible for 19 of the 40 yards on that final drive? Rico had 21 yards. Both of those completions were for first downs.  That's what game winning drives require.  It doesn't require the QB to throw the ball each and every down.  You do know this? It's clear that you won't give credit where credit is due.   While Bryce isn't your typical "Franchise QB" he's running the gameplan our coaching staff designs.  Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Bryce sucks because you say so.

      Playoffs?!

      By DeAngelo Beason · Posted

      This team is built to win, which I said at the start of the season. I'm not saying we are a super bowl contender, but it's a playoff roster.  The big handcuff is at the QB position.  If Bryce Young cannot start playing at a professional level we are going to continue struggling and stealing wins instead of punching people in the mouth like we should.  The reality is we should be sitting at 2 losses and have blown several teams out, including Green Bay, but having absolutely NOTHING in the passing game is holding us back badly.  Point being, in this current scenario our best hope is that we barely make the playoffs and get absolutely obliterated in the first round.
