The notion of building the defense first is a flawed concept rooted in nostalgia.

You start with the lines, picking the best available lineman (offensive or defensive) as your picks come across. 

 

Being strong on both lines is a guarantee your team will be at least decent.  It's not sexy but it gets the job done.  The foundation that the rest of your offense / defense is built on.   Don't skimp on this.

Building defense first is always the way to be a championship team.

Building around 4 defensive players that are top level leaders is the key. Investing everything in a defense without a core 4 to anchor the defense is a recipe for disaster. Panthers are the later. No true defensive leader and they didn't build around Chinn to develop him. Not to mention moving him out of his strongest position. Shaq is a great player, but he is not a core player to build around.

Yeah, the weather for that game had nothing to do with that choice of game-plan, right?

The Bills knew the Patriots were going to run.  The fans in the stadium knew the Patriots were going to run.  Every person watching TV in America knew the Patriots were going to run.  And the Bills couldn't stop it.   Three, four, five yards every carry.   Time after time after time.  

That's imposing your will upon the other team.  

All of that was the result of great roster building, a great gameplan considering the weather and great execution by the players.  It's what good coaches do.

They should've gotten a FS to play beside him or just left him at LB. He was a force last year and I have hardly noticed him this year. He is not a FS.

Just right now, we sent the SS in with the LBs and Chinn backing up. It's been like this all year. So fuging stupid.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
