Pass rush without Allen

[ScreenPlay]

Tre Boston! Dude plays to fast to be sitting on the sidelines. 

 

 

Coleman and Tre are the future duo safeties of this fanchise.

I was extremely impressed with the Finnegan and the Mcclain kid last night.

Allen will get pressures but he's just not fast enough to finish the job anymore, unfortunately.  Stout against the run though.

We rushed the passer better but our run defense suffered some without him. Yes I get the irony but it's the truth

I think Allen is the better fit against the relatively run-heavy Broncos. But Ealy, Addison, and Delaire should get significant playing time. That said... this:

Ron's just gotten the Panthers to the big dance.

I'm going to defer to his judgement on this one.

What did he do? I honestly don't remember him doing anything. All I can recall is Short and the other ends getting to the QB.

He had a sack and FF, not to mention he blew up a running play in the second half that made the stadium go ape poo

Secondaries always look better when pass rush is effective, even more so when its someone like Palmer instead of Wilson. Wilsons scrambling causes players to get free on most defenses, against someone like Finnegan/McClain thats exasperated. That gives us a bonus in the superbowl as Manning is basically the complete opposite of that

He forced a fumble and was basically either all up in Palmer's face all game or was clogging running lanes. 

The Cards got most of their runs right up the middle. 

Oh wow! He seems to own ARZ then.

Ryan Delaire is a complete run liability. He could not set the edge all 1st half.

Allen clearly deserves a jersey more than delaire so i would be shocked if he doesnt get one.  However, i like ealy and addison and they need to see plenty of snaps.

We will rotate them more often. I think Allen, Harper and Tillman retire when we win. TD I still think has some years in him and he wants to be part of the dynasty. We have quality backup in those positions that we can move forward. Boston replaces Harper addison will be a starter next year. Horton will stay and If CJ restructures Norman and Short can get signed. The way I see this playing out and the brotherhood this team has put together, I see nobody leaving and all wanting to stay but still give them a fair deal. McClain will probably stay and play next year for Tillman. Then we are just looking to get depth. Tolbert signs another 1 year deal.

[ncsfinest21]

McClain hasnt played that bad. He hasnt even had a training camp with us. If he is fitting in already and doing a good job why not?

[Ace_Aladdin]

CJ & Ealy, with heavy rotation of Allen, Addison, & Delair

[w280sax]

Im ok with mcclain and finnegan for depth but i think we draft a cb or get a free agent cb.

[DeeJay]

Peyton is going to get all nice and chomped up because carolina is going to feast on him and his not so good oline

Thomas Davis could be interesting if we win the Super Bowl.  His body has taken some real abuse.  I know we love that dude but if he gets a ring I could see a family man like him could evaluate his future.
