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....

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • 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.
