People only see the sack numbers but pressures matter too. I have to wonder if he is getting pressures because they are focusing on Burns and Brown? Maybe Fox will finally start racking up sacks as the season goes on.


This. They have to put their double teams and best blockers on Brown, Burns, reddick.

Getting to watch the game now (missed it yesterday, was out most of the weekend) and the first play of the game for the defense is Morgan Fox bull rushing Armstead backwards before thumping Jameis in the chest.

They threw a flag on the play tho. Whack. But he did make helmet-to-helmet contact.

It is amazing how good players look when the scheme is solid and guys get freed up for 1 on 1 action. Instead of double teaming 3 rushers like lastvyear they now have to.protect one on one and can't easily predict who they have to block.

At the moment, we really are a "pick your poison" defense.  8 players showing up on the sack list after 2 games.  One of the beat writers (forget which) termed it the "bring the house" defense.  It's really true.

Burns / Reddick

Brown / DaQuan

Shaq, Fox, YGM, Haynes, Nixon, Roy

And depth guys  like Luvu...

So many players an offense has to account for.  Pressure can come from any direction.

Here are the defensive stats through 2 weeks from NFL GSIS.

Played much better than game one, this game he was a real difference maker out there not matter DT or DE or Pass or Run. Iants had issues blocking him all game, can not double brown, burns, and reddick....someone has to win the one-on-ones.

Lastly god dam is Peat isnt the weakest looking strong person in the whole world, had like 100 LBs on Fox and got beat-down regularly.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
