not worried.

with a vet like Gross they would be foolish to practice him before Friday w/ a tender ankle. Gross will play. Rivera said he wasn't really worried. Wharton is comparable at LT...we have seen that in the past.

worry about RT and if they decide to move Abraham on Bell.

They can just put Ray Edwards on Bell and get the same result. :/

Nah, Ray Edwards is poo compared to Abraham.

Exactly. If he can still get by Bell, then there's going to be consistent pressure on that side.

Abraham will face Gross + TE (especially if Gross is not 100%.) Bell will face Edwards, will lose to Edwards, creating consistent pressure.

If Gross faces Edwards, Gross nullifies Edwards, even while he's hurt, leaving Bell + TE to face Abraham, which is still in our favor.

So, as the opposing coach, you put Edwards on Bell to get constant pressure by forcing us to double team Abraham on the left side.

How often do you see Gross getting help to double someone all game? Gross is solid. I don't think his ankle will make him a liability. Abraham can flat out beat Bell like a drum w/o help.....

With a hurt ankle, facing John Abraham, I'm sure Gross'll have help. I'm not saying Gross is not solid... But, it's John Abraham.

Gross has played for years with tweaks and bangs. He is just getting some rest. He will be ready to roll. Gross has dealt w/ him this year and others who are better.

      89 on The Pivot

      Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy.

      89 on The Pivot

      Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.

      This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
