We all know that speed rushers give our oline fits. These are really the two guys that can cause havoc in the backfield. Remmers is suspect already and Oher may have issues also. We can't afford to have Cam running for his life.....that's when the mistakes happen.  Can't let them storm the gates and be disruptive. You can bet that they have watched the result of the oline folding under a heavy rush and have plans to follow suit. How should Shula game plan to prevent this?

I think a healthy Jonathan Stewart would make a big difference for us in the pass blocking game. Tolbert needs to hold up too. Our tackles vs. their ends is my most concerning matchup. 

Honestly I think the way you neutralize them is to run Cam. Hell give him 15 carries. Get Cam moving towards the line of scrimmage and see who wants to hit him. When Cam is trying to scramble 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage, bad things happen. Obviously we need Stew to run the ball. Maybe some screens and play action. But for me, we need to have that Seattle defense huffing and puffing in the third Quarter. To do that, we need lots of first down signs from #1.

PFF had this to say today

The combination of Oher and Olsen trying to block Bennett seems like a recipe for a 247-pound man bearing down on Newton or Jonathan Stewart shortly after the ball is snapped. For Avril’s part, he will be largely going up against Remmers in the pass game. The last time the two met, Remmers had the worst pass-blocking grade of his season, surrendering five pressures.

When you look back to the previous matchup in Week 6, Avril certainly got the better of Remmers, but Bennett was relatively quiet, posting an average pass-rushing grade but poor markings in run defense.

Add in a mixture of quick passes. Against Tampa Bay, Cam got sacked on back to back plays, the next series we started running quick slants with Funchess and Brown. Also, mix up the snap count and get them to jump off sides. Neutralize their aggressiveness by forcing them to hesitate about timing the snap.

I don't disagree with you. It will be important to gas their defense and keep the pocket clean for Cam. But I think the more important matchup will be our defense versus Russell Wilson. Either by containing him in the pocket and getting sacks, or by outstanding coverage when he scrambles or throws up his ducks, we need to shut him down. I think if we do that, it won't be a close game, even if the Seahawk defense is swarming all game.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
