Man the one thing that jumped out was that Delaire was getting constant pressure on Russel Wilson from the edge causing him to get happy feet and step up into the pocket where KK and company were causing havoc. I wonder if he even gets a jersey this Sunday, I sure hope he does..

It will be the travesty of the season if Rivera's insistent call to give our aged defensive ends the majority of the snaps over guys like Early and Delaire cost us against a mobile Qb like Russell.

I'd be willing to bet folding money that Rivera has kept Ealy and Delaire out for the specific purpose of playoff pressure. Keep them healthy and fresh, because if either goes down in regular season, we're in trouble. Addison, Ealy, and Delaire are our speed rushers and having them fresh at this point is huge.

Give Delaire a jersey, if you have to pick a position to take one away, make it receiver or RB. If it's RB, sorry Fozzy, but CAP is running better. If it's WR, I'm assuming Bersin (if he's active). Then again, Bersin does have that tendency to pick up big 3rd downs.

Whatever. Dress whoever helps us win.

Has anyone coined the nickname "The Fresh Prince of Delaire?" If not then I want the credit.

yeah, that was coined like immediately after signing him

I do not understand why Delaire has not been active more on game days.  He is a pure speed rusher who has shown his ability to beat lineman off the LOS quickly.  Maybe he plays the run poorly...I don't know.  At least keep him active and bring him in on passing downs.  Johnson and Allen just do not get any pressure and strike no fear into the hearts of our opponents. 

I would rather have Delaire active and deactivate a backup DT...after all, Ealy can play the DT spot if needed.

Yeah like on day one.

Yeah he started out great. With the lack of production at DE you'd think we'd have seen him more often.

I have a feeling Sean McDermott and Rivera are going to have something up their sleeve defensively. Maybe some looks we haven't seen all year.

That would be nice. We sure as hell need more in the QB pressure dept., to help out that battered secondary.

You have to be real careful with pure speed rushers against a QB like Wilson.  He LOVES to get outside of the pocket and that is where he does most of his damage.  Even with rushing him, you MUST be under control and not give up the edge.

This... I feel like they started simplifying schemes after we locked...

Will be interesting to see for sure. Gotta keep that turnover game up.

True statement.  We won't have to worry about that with Johnson and Allen, as they will still be standing in the exact spot they lined up in after the play is over.

I hope they prove me wrong Sunday (and throughout the playoffs).

Actually, sans the numbers, PFF graded Allen well over the last 4 weeks of the season, and I think he's done a decent job of applying pressure down the stretch, just hasn't gotten to the QB.  CJ on the other hand will live on his knees right where he lines up...might as well just play 10 on 11 if Big Money is allowed to start again.

Allen has been decent against the run as well.  We just need to get to the QB. It will be a long day if Wilson has plenty of time and a clean pocket.  Same thing with the remaining QB's in the playoffs...Rogers, Palmer, Brady, Big Ben, etc.  Not saying we still can't win those games without getting pressure, it just puts more pressure on Cam and the offense.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      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.
