Is this a reflection of the problems on defense or a contributor to them?

 

    I would love to know how many hurries he has. Because to my eye he is getting close, just can't get home. Hellz, this is true for most of the Dline. Close, but no cigar type of year so far. Teams really are trying to negate our rush with those shorter routes. 

 

    So it is more of how teams are playing us, than how we are executing.

Anyone that didn’t know that defensive end was going to be a MAJOR issue on this football team is a total nincompoop.

 

    It's cool you want to dismiss that teams are dinking us to death, just to keep your tired rhetoric alive? That fact does hurt your argument.

 

    At the beginning of the year, most folks thought our Dline was going to be pretty good. KK, and Poe wreaking havoc up the middle. Allowing Pep, Addy, Horton, and maybe one of the kids to get after the QB. On paper, that looked like a solid group.

 

    Evidently the opposition felt the same way. Because every team we have played, well, except Dallas that is, has dinked, and dunked us to death. The very best way to counter a good pass rush? Quick passes. 

 

    I mean, we get it. You love you some Kraken. And it's fine if you want to fight that battle until the very end. I mean, if it weren't' so sad, it wouldn't be so funny. But you have to see the irony in calling others nincompoops?

Peps conditioning is just getting into early season form. He had his first real injury in his whole career and it looks like the surgery went well.

Still among the best in the league. He's playing the run very well, getting pressures and a very Pep like sack, ff the other day.

Dude is the best we've got and is aging like fine wine.

      As I watch Darnold tonight...

      By NAS · Posted

      So funny see people continue to talk like Darnold isn’t one of the best QBs in the NFL for the second season in a row. Two different teams and situations, he is for real and not just a product of the system.   He struggles under pressure lol what QB doesn’t? Did anyone watch Mahomes in the SB?

      Mike Jackson

      While I was aware that Horn does not shadow WR1 I learned something interesting in the game from one of the announcers ... Horn ALWAYS plays the short side of the field.  As in, he will switch sides when the ball moves from one hash tag to the other. It seems intuitive that short side of field equals easier route coverage (correct me if I'm wrong) and expanding further I wonder if Mike Jackson was put into that role would his stats improve? If Horn is such a shut down corner, why isn't he just following the biggest WR threat around the field? Is there something inherently harder about covering the short side of the field?  Why make life easier for your best CB?

      Chuba love

      I wonder what the true state of Chuba's calf is? I remember it being mentioned a couple of times last year that it was something they were managing then after the Cardinals game last year we put him on IR. He then reinjured it this year. That would seem to explain why he looks slower and less explosive than in years past. Chubas running style was a one cut explode through the hole type of back and it just doesn't look like he has that ability right now.
