Give them the props: our DTs looked Good


TANTRIC-NINJA

The defense as a whole was really good IMO. CJ was disruptive and the line got hands to bat passes down. I cannot remember seeing that many three and outs in a while.

One of my many highlights from preseason game #2 was seeing Mcclain and Edwards getting stops and moving the line. Mcclain was especially active and Edwards is looking like Buckner 2.0 as the vet that can read plays and be an extra coach on the field.

Keiser has solidified himself as a solid rotational guy if that was even in doubt..Viva la D-line!!

Any preseason "im not impressed by Rivera" this week?! Didnt think so.

I'm not sure if you heard yet.But it was only Miami. I'm sure the resident pessimists will be along shortly to enlighten you.

And? We've faced offenses last year that were worse than miami, and still walked all over us.

We showed improvement. We need to keep playing like this.

Let's see... our O does average in a pre-season game and the homers are quick to remind you we used a vanilla offense. But our D looks great and they never seem to grasp the other team was using a vanilla O.

Wait until Game 1 before you start getting excited. The pre-season show next to nothing.

Type of offense has nothing to do with getting dominated at the LOS.

This. Winning trench battles right now is more important than diagnosing the opponent's schemes. We wanted toughness at the point of attack and we saw that last night against their first team. How could anyone not have been pleased with that effort? Plus, it was a reflection of Rivera's message.

    • Doubling tripling and quadrupling down on this subject in defense of the pick is reminiscent of a certain mindset that has overtaken the political world. This conversation will become less contentious and dragged out to the point of becoming a dead beaten horse if rational minds can simply agree that we made a mistake missed on a potential franchise center and we will learn from it. All this coping is unnecessary.
    • Here in lies the rub that the supporting posters continue to ignore. He wasn’t a 2nd round pick in the 2025 class, especially with an ACL tear. It was a dumb pick for any GM who looks ahead to determine values. C and CB were much better values than an injured RB in 2024. If a RB isn’t even playing much in 2024, you have to compare him to 2025. We’re beating a dead horse but only because the defense of the pick is almost comical at this point. We’ve made a ton of poo picks and moves/non trades while Morgan was GM and the assistant GM. It happens, we don’t have to jump through hoops to act like we just had some really bad luck. The 2025 draft class is unknown so far but damn it felt way better afterwards for the first time in a long time. Embrace the potential and stop stamping guaranteed on the box of poo of the 2018-2024 drafts. We are were we aware because of them and 2025 has to hit so we can get past the 7 win max in 7 year hurdle. Also, “flashed his talent” isn’t 9 carries for 22 yards. His one reception for 18 yards isn’t a flash with 11 other touches for 27 yards. He hasn’t proven anything. We have no idea if he’ll contribute in 2026.
    • Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030
