This thread is for the Huddle veterans who are beyond the knee jerk reactions that losses bring to the newer folks.

1-2 , going to Atlanta after a long week. Sounds to me like an opportunity to right the ship.

The Falcons do appear to be the class of the division here early in the season according to the articles. I haven't had a chance to see any of their games yet.

That said, what are the top 3 things you would like to see that would give us the best chance of pulling out an upset?

The O line has to block. Open holes for the RB's and give Cam more than 2 seconds.

Cam has to step up, pick his head up and be smart. Don't force things.

Out DBs are what they are and that isn't going to change... the D line has to put some pressure on Ryan and, oh yeah, don't let them gash us on the ground either.

1) run at least 50% of our plays from under-center pro-sets. Quick routes with three step drops, power run game with lead blocks and ISO. QUIT running the option look as our base offense.

2) Play man and blitz. We HAVE to get pressure. Dropping seven or eight into zone coverage with two deep, including nakamura 40 yards off the line of scrimmage, is fuging ludicrous and it's killing us. We are running zone on goal line looks for christ's sake.

3)Make some "at the line" adjustments. Both on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. We are not playing act and react on either side. We are just lining up and hoping for the best, regardless of what we are seeing on the opposite side of the line of scrimmage. fuging audible a hot route, Jesus.

That hasn't happened in the 19 games Rivera has been here. Be realistic please.

I don't see any way possible we don't do this. The Giants picked apart our zone with ease. If we come out in the same zone coverage in a dome... ugh.

I was tending bar and watching the game. I wanted to start hitting my patrons every time I saw that no name scrub WR sit down in an open hole in the zone just to catch a wide open 25 yard pass.

We have GOT to tackle. For 3 weeks straight Ive watched running backs carry 2 or more of our guys for significant yardage after initial contact. For 3 weeks straight Ive watched guys in the open field shed the first Panther to make contact.

If we cant stop giving up all of this yardage after contact its not going to matter what else we fix.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
