That is an incredibly good stat. Aren't most good QBs in the 30s?

I really liked Clady in the draft and would still favor him seeing how well Otah has panned out. We could have stuck Clady at LT and kept Gross at RT. It's not like Clady is a small lineman and bad run blocking, he's just much better at pass blocking imo.

Clady had a couple of knocks on him going into the draft that are textbook examples of over analyzing by draft gurus. He pitched a less than steller 16 on the worthless Wonderlic, het picked up the most complicated offense in the NFL from day 1. He also played against supposedly inferior competition at Boise State, but he's stonewalled the NFL's top DE's every week...go figure. His run blocking is not as good yet but he's getting there. Against the Chiefs last week he wiped out a linebacker 20 yards downfield on a running play...that's a 325 pounder getting to the second level. It will come...for now we're just glad he's got Jay's back. Shanahan has been reluctant to draft OL guys in the top of the draft...fortunately he departed from that in this case.

Denver's O-line is on pace to allow the 3rd fewest sacks in NFL history. They have only allowed 8 sacks all year, but 3 of those sacks were credited to backs and TE's.

Clady has only given up .5 a sack this year I can't wait to see what he does against arguably the best DE in the NFL.

Stats are for losers. But if you wanna a stat

Tampa had only given up one rushing td all season until monday night, now they have given up 5. So your stats can be thrown out the window. It's what you do on the field at that moment

Clady tho a rookie this year is having a great season and proving he can hang with some big boys. 0 sacks to Porter/ 0 Sacks to Abraham. How do you think Peppers will do against him? I say 1.5 sacks on his side and 2 sacks not against him.

I pray he totally tears his @ss up....

That's a good post. People don't realize how well Clady has been playing. Remember we've been throwing more than other teams, have not had a consistent running game, and have been trailing late in games where defenses know we're going to throw. It's basically a worst case scenario for a tackle. Despite this he's only surrendered half a sack and stonewalled some of the best. And this knock on Clady's run blocking is exaggerated. He started out slow, but remember our line has had 8 different starters at RB, so it's been hard for all our linemen to get into any kind of rhythm in the run game. Clady was destroying players in the last game. Safeties were running away from him on the toss sweeps. I mean he played a zone-run scheme in college so it's not like he's a moron out there.

As for going against Peppers, I don't think Peppers gets a sack. I'm not saying that to be rude, I just think the more speed burst players haven't given him a problem this year. He tends to struggle (again this is relative as he's not really been beat that much this year) against power ends.

So which do you qualify Peppers as? A speed DE or a power DE? Because anybody who has watched him much will tell you that he is both and that is what makes him so good. Much like a Strahan type DE, he can run by you on one play and then straight flat back a tackle on the next play.

Clady has been very good this year, so has Pep. Its pretty much a toss up, I know this though, if they single him up on Pep all day, Pep will get his sack.

      The team wore down and shots stopped falling.  Ball, Miller and Kon have to play well.  At least 2 of the 3.  2/16…0/6. That ain’t gonna cut it.     If Bridges and White are the only ones hitting from 3, it’s not gonna go well.  The 3’s make Moose and Kalk work.  No 3’s it gets too crowded for them with all the bodies crashing the boards.    (Kalk needs to add strength, something awful tho.)

      Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.

      No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
