And the Pats have played the shitshow Dolphins and Jets without Darnold.

The Rams and Bucs, despite not having the greatest QBs, have good weapons that aren't easy to cover. The secondary has done a great job and helped our pass rush look better than their stats show.

Well the Rams went to the Super Bowl last year and the strength of their offense and didnt the Bucs actually lead the league in passing offense last year?  Their passing game isnt really the problem (more the QB throwing bad INT's), but both of those teams know how to pass the ball very very well, and we have done a great job.  Our record right now does not really reflect how good the team actually is.

Glad I don’t respect many opinions on the Huddle as most on here swear that Bradberry is a scrub.

Not a scrub, just not worth top 5 CB money based on his body of work. Moreover, he's not doing it by himself. Hopefully DJ keeps getting INTs & tries harder not to miss tackles, and Cockrell looked good our there.

He’s a model of consistency in a secondary that has been trash for as long as this franchise can remember. We should probably pay him for what he’s worth.

 

The INT look flashy and all but guys like Jackson are just as liable to give up a chunk play or a TD being over aggressive. That’ll hopefully change with time and discipline.

This is going to sound crazy, but could Ron have possibly evolved? Where he is intentionally focused on stopping the pass over stopping the run and making it the primary goal of the defense. There are a bunch of stats out there that say giving up the run is a much more successful strategy than focusing on stopping the run which has always been the old school strategy to a strong defense. No secret we have been getting gashed in the run game while our pass defense is very strong which is pretty atypical.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
