Going over the game last night. This play is just incredible. Luke shoots between 75 and 62, sneaks behind 77 and goes untouched, and has the runner dead to rights. The play lasts under 3 seconds. From his reaction, he just knew he did something special.

There are plenty of teams in the NFL that wish they had a middle linebacker that could do this half as good.

Exactly. I remember that hit Thomas Davis laid on the Cardinals running back in the NFCCG. It was nasty and the stadium exploded cheering. 

 

Damn... something in my eye. God... that game was our Super Bowl last year. My favorite game of all time.

Literally from the snap, I saw the number 59 raging across my tv screen.  The whole time I was watching this play I was thinking if I were the RB, I might have start running the other way toward the endzone behind me.  Man, I don't know of a linebacker who played like this specifically in recent time.  I can't recall Urlacher flashing across my screen like this.

Not to take anything away from Luke and his awesomeness, but how much affect did 61(RT) tripping impact the play?

The Right Guard #75 was actually Luke's man and he's still upright.  He just couldn't get to Luke in time because Luke's pre-snap diagnosis gave him a two-step lead.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, if Moore really wants out, then it would behoove the Bears to make it happen sooner than later. X is a lot younger and cheaper, and may be a better fit for Johnson's musings than a disgruntled, unnecessary, overpaid vet. If they can dump his salary and maybe get a fourth or so in return, it may be worth it to them. As for development, I'm not concerned. You're talking about a seeming bust, a day three guy and a UDFA. They are developing relative to their ceilings. I doubt any of them will ever command the coverage, money, or the respect that Moore has acquired. He's a tier above them. Yes, even X.

      OK, now it's time to discuss a couple of yesterday's problems. Let's talk "Evero."

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      IMO, if Ceedee plays against us, the game probably goes the other way. Same with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Our team just isn't designed to beat teams with two high level receivers like that. But when you look at the league, how many teams really have two guys of that caliber?  There's nothing wrong with defensive adjustments, but sometimes I think a lot of fans want Evero to call a different play like a game on madden, and defensive football just isn't like that. That said, I thought we did a much better job this season against the Cowboys of flipping Jaycee and at least making them work for it, opposed to last season when they literally just lined CeeDee up on the other side of the field every single snap.  For us to just straight up switch to consistent man coverage, or a different zone, or whatever, we likely would consistently need different personnel on the field. Doing it a few times a game is a gamble and can work, but if we consistently run man coverage against the Cowboys, eventually a RB is going to beat a linebacker, or something of that nature with our personnel. Part of the reason Evero likes this scheme is that, while we have our defaults and presets, what we do is very multiple, and you can do a lot of different things pre and post snap. We are a challenging defense to read. But as you said, if guys are getting beat, it doesn't really matter what you call.
