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.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
