I feel confident against their offense.  I know I'm in the minority but I really don't think our defense has been that bad this year.  It is kind of frustrating to watch teams dink and dunk against us, but I have long accepted that is what will happen against us.  We held the Bucs to 20 despite our offense being incompetent.  Rams didn't even do much against us except benefit from great field position because of our offense - we held them to 183 passing yards, their lowest output this season.  And I thought we held the Cards offense in check for the most part, especially on the road against a really weird offense.

Bradberry has always done very well against bigger WRs, so hopefully that is the match-up we get and put Jackson on Fuller.  My biggest fear is Hopkins on Jackson... because Hopkins would OWN Jackson.  They don't have much of a running game to be afraid of and their offensive line is slightly improved but still bad.

This game, like all of our games this season, will come down to the performance of the QB.

Their OL is among the worst in the league, our pass rush should be able to build on the momentum from last game. And their D really sucks aside from 2 players: Watt and Mercilus. Scheme the OL to stop them and it shouldn’t be too hard to score on them.

Put Bradberry on Hopkins, Donte on Fuller. Have pass rushers run straight up the field to limit Watson's scrambling ability. DO NOT play that soft fuggin zone or Watson and Hopkins is going to eat. Don't turn the ball over. We do all this and we have a good chance. Their running game is not scary at all with Hyde and Duke. Man them up and make Watson throw perfect passes. If we play them like we did Kyler for the 1st 3 quarters, they are going to put up 30+.

We should fix the scrambling issue but Watson only scrambles when he has to where Murray was not got in the pocket yesterday. Part was good coverage but this will be one of the better offenses we face for the next few weeks,. I say in Houston, all things given, 4 points is pretty bait fair. Panthers are a wild card right now but I guarantee the general public is not buying us yet, at least compared to quite a few of our fans. People will probably jump on Houston pretty quick.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
