Gamble and Marshall better step up

Because without Pep we are going to have to blitz anytime we need pressure on the QB. I really wish we had a first rounder this year to throw at the Raiders for Asomugha because its going to take a corner of his caliber to lock down a defense and let the LBers blitz. I like Gamble and think he is a quality corner but having him and another lock down corner that people are scared of would let us unleash some pressure instead of relying on our front four like we inevitably do every single year...

you think Peppers wants to play for Oakland?

As was said earlier...Peppers ditched all allegiance to us by giving up his position and making it near impossible to get a fair trade. I know he has to sign a deal in order to make that trade but anything is possible.

I like Godfrey at FS. We've needed a speedy guy at that position for some time. It may take a learning curve for him to catch on, but am not mad at them pulling the trigger and putting him there. Talk was in college that he was good at freelancing on the field. We just have to get him on top of his game at that new position.

As for Marshall? He is one our best ST's players... Always in the mix. He had a lot of potential last year, but didn't pay much attention to him this year. If we let Lucas go, I think Marshall will be above average, but we'll have to wait and see...

i'd really like to see more pressing. i mean...they get five yards for contact. they shouldn't be playing 10 off.

It really depends on the down, distance, situation and the play called. No use in being up on the line when you're not quick enough to keep time with a receiver or you're in zone coverage.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
