Jared Allen and moral victories


DangerClose

Given how many "moral victories" the Panthers have had, I thought this statement was interesting from our opponents next week. Seemed to echo Cam's feelings.

“Moral victories are like taking your sister to prom. What’s good for being runner up? You’re just the first loser,” Allen said. “We can take positive plays, but we are in the business of winning.”

Hopefully, Jared Allen is quiet on the field next week and the Vikes soak up another moral victory while we take the win. Would love to see Cam embarrass their defensive front like he did Washington's on the first play. Looks to be a fun match up, though.

Jared Allen is nucking futs. I have seen him on the sideline with a dip in his mouth and have heard that he even plays with a dip in. I am a fan of Copenhagen, but I would never try and play any kind of physically taxing sport with a dip in. The fact that he can do it comfortably speaks volumes about his constitution. Hopefully our offensive coordinator has a package in place to stop him come next sunday.

Jared Allen lines up on Gross's side, right? Or does he move from side to side?

good question, I am not sure of the answer but I do know that he has had his way with JG in the past...which is not unlike most tackles in the league.

I hope BB does not have to handle him though. Maybe someone can answer.

    • Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at. 
    • Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often. 
    • With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
