We better hope our pass rush is up to speed

I have a sneaking suspicion that Fox and Trgo will come up with a little something that they haven't seen yet. They already gave our opponents something to think about when they had Peppers coming from every angle in the Saints game.

Of course, they were probably just trying to cover up our weakness at DT, since both of our starters were out, but that doesn't mean they won't do it when Kemo and D-Lew come back either.

That was not a resurgent running game. Atlanta was not focused on stopping it at all.

They will not run for 40 yds against us.

I'm with you.

We shouldn't worry about James being able to get 70 yards on 16 carries as much as the Cardinals should be worried about DeAngelo getting 120 yards on 15 carries :P

Agree that pass rush is a key, though. We saw towards the end of the season Peppers moving around more, playing both sides of the line. They'll have some stunts trying to get Peppers 1 on 1.

I don't recall the Falcons getting anywhere near Warner. Their O-Line did a great job. The home crowd may have had something to do with that, pumping them up and all, but our front four isn't any better than Atlanta's. Hopefully OUR crowd will pump our guys up and we'll see them play lights out. But to be fair, I wouldn't expect anything outrageous or anything more than what we've seen all year.

Fox dose seem to turn it up in the Playoffs and some of the conservitve play goes out the door. Warner has one of the quickest releases I have seen so its gonna be about coverage just as much as pass rush. Losing Bolden is big though.

    • There are a couple of options. One is just to not accept your commission and just pay back the Academy for your education. Alot of money for normal folk, but if you're drafted high enough it's a drop in the bucket. You'll need a waiver not to go in enlisted, but normally drafted players get waivers to join the reserves instead of active duty military. Showing that you can actually go to the NFL from a military academy is much better for recruitment than having one more officer on a ship/sub/aircraft. Things were different in the Staubach and David Robinson days. I remember Mike Wahle just paying back the Academy after getting kicked out for steroids after his junior year. Not a big deal when you're drafted in the 2nd round. 
    • have 10 dollars riding on the hornets to win the division to pay out 1200, my buddy has multiple bets but one would pay out close to 15k 
    • Whoever you get has to be able to shoot a 3 for spacing purposes, especially if you want to replace Miles at 4 with Moose and run a different center.    I like the Miles for Giannis trade idea but where do you put him? At center?    Can you imagine a double screen and roll/slip with with Lamelo, Giannis and Kon... 👀   If you do that trade you need another free agent / draft pick to play at 4 that can stretch the floor otherwise I don't think it works.
