Our defense is aggressive. McDaniels is going to call so many screens on Sunday.

 

The thing is, we don't blitz that often. Screens are not as effective against a standare 4 man rush. That, and we run to the ball well. But then again, who knows? They do screen a lot as it is. So it could go either way.

Does anyone know what time the press conference is today for the injury update?

I saw something that said Darnold was on the field but left prior to the time to speak to the media. So likely no word from Darnold, but maybe the staff will offer something. Though I feel like Rhule is good for saying "we'll see on ____ (insert later date)"

I know the Pats are an average team, as are we.  Other than the win vs the Chargers, they've done little -- other 3 wins were vs the Texans and Jets.  They've only exceeded 29 points once, the drubbing of the Jets the 2nd time, which skews their average pts scored. 

They allow more rushing yards, and more passing yards, than we do, and they have not yet faced a Defense as strong as ours.

I don't think their Defense will shut down our running game, and I think, at home, we have a better than average chance to win this game.  Our front 7, now that we've got Shaq and YGM back, and with Gilmore at press corner, will cause turnovers.

Can our defense confuse their rookie QB? 

Can we shut them down completely?

Will we have to with PJ at QB (probably)?

 

Inquiring minds want to know. 

Probably.

Unlikely given our D will have to be out there all day.

Because we'll have to win with PJ at QB, which means we very likely won't consistently move the ball, but will definitely turn it over multiple times and leave our D in a bad situation.

If we can't run on them like we ran on the Falcons, our D will be out there all day.

It's about them being wrong about Darnold, so they have to be right about PJ.

Like for 3 weeks, we won but I was still right about Darnold, as we all know now, the coaches were cuddling the shyt of him.

Now enters a real underdawg....

    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
