After rewatching the game. Thank you Hollis for being a big giant, clogging the middle, center eating, have to be doubled with a guard, run stopping SOB. You didn't make the front four, you make the front four better.

Also thank you Charles Johnson. In 3 down lineman situations you played as well as any DT we have had in the last 3 years. Keep on bulking up. Keep getting those hands up.

Damione Lewis/Hayden. Keep playing hard. Nothing extraordinary but good solid play most of the day. Except on 2 running plays.

I am just wondering where in the hell this Hollis Thomas came from, and where in the hell he has been the last few years. He has always been pretty good his whole career but this guy is a revelation.

St. Louis didn't even want this guy, maybe that pissed him off enough to get him going. I don't know but I like it.

Two months ago, one month ago even, who'd have ever guessed a DL Appreciation Thread would appear? We thought that'd be our achilles heel the entire season. Props to Meeks, props to the individual players, and maybe - just maybe - props to the FO for resigning Pep? :eek:

Warner has one of the fastest releases in the NFL.. that said, next week the D-Line will have to get there even faster but at the same time keep contain. The Saints have the 3rd best running game. Our defense will have to perform at a high level. Our offense will have to keep it on the ground. I hope the Saints win tonight too.

Gee, wasn't it a month ago and everyone was criticizing Thomas for being worthless and over the hill. Even the guys from New Orleans were criticizing him. They forgot he was very good for them in 2007 before he got injured.

How come we don't see any more Shaun Smith threads? Anyone pick him up yet???

So much for the crappy front office who wants mediocrity and deliberately picks guys with little or no talent and overpays for them.:D

    • Extrapolate that with every QB for that matter. I guarantee you there's quite a bit of missed opportunities and yards left on the field for everyone. Many NFL QBs deal with WRs not putting in A+ effort, subpar o-line play and other deficiencies. The great ones are able to rise above these issues and create opportunities for plays. Guys like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes can both play in and out of structure, as well as find ways to get yards when things break down and mask mistakes by throwing guys open, creating opportunities from nothing, etc. Bryce Young has only shown he's able to make things happen when the rest of the team picks up his slack. Very rarely does he create those opportunities himself. When this is a consistent pattern year after year with Bryce where he shows up lackluster, it's a concern. This is year three and he should be elevating the team as a first overall pick this franchise traded up for.  He was far from elevating anyone against JAX. In fact, he needed others to elevate and create for him. Excuses may be fine for a rookie, but this is year three for the first overall pick. Not looking good so far.
    • I think the worst issue is coaching. Countless bad snaps, XL not getting his feet in or trying on runs plays, our centre being down field when he didn't need to be. All seem to be from poor coaching for me. I believe Canales is to soft to rip the players a new one when the fug up. Plus I honestly believe that Canales is slow getting his plays in giving Bryce less time to diagnose and adjust to the defence. Don't worry I could of head butted Bryce for that fumble and the 4th down throw aways but the other plays are explainable to me 
    • No We have been making excuses for him for 3 years, and we have gave him a hundred chances  Bryce is a bust, and we need to cut him now and stop wasting everyone's time
