Is it worth a few flags?

I'm the same age as Manning. There is definitely a huge difference between getting knocked down and getting knocked down even a few years ago. It feels the same at the moment, but man it lingers a lot longer. Getting old sucks

Agree with this 1000%, it's much harder now to recover from things that used to not even bother me.

I don't agree with blatant late hits, but if Johnson or Hardy have a bead on him and it's not overtly late, hit him and let the refs decide (and I don't mean try to intentionally hurt him, just a hard football play, we're not the dirtbag Saints). At least let him know you're close and coming. If we don't get pressure on him, he's gonna eat our DBs up.

Yup, nothing wrong with a few "remember me" hits on the QB... especially when the QB is 38 and has a surgically repaired neck.

I don't want to see him injured or even hurt, just want to see us get a few good shots in at the beginning of the game to get in his head.

Defense is playing a lot better without Beason and Gamble...maybe, they were both still hurt while playing...or maybe the young players are more willing to sacrifice their bodies.

Disrupt Mannings rythm and stay in the lanes and the Panthers can neutralize him.

One thing is for certain, if they do that soft zone against Manning, he will eat them alive.

eh, it's week 9. he's been hit a few times already. not like we are the first team to say "hey let's be aggressive and remind the old guy what it feels like to get hit."

Are you more likely to wear a 36 year old Peyton Manning physically or mentally?

physically for sure. i'm just saying that i don't think the panthers would be the first to have this idea. before the seattle game everyone said "just stack the box to stop marshawn lynch. russell wilson sucks. victory panthers." that's what every team tried. my point is that many teams have probably tried to rattle peyton physically. the result? 300.5 yds/game, 20 tds, 6 ints, 108.6 QB rating (leading the league). not saying we shouldn't try to give him a shot if afforded the opportunity, but we should do that with every QB in every game.

    • 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.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.  
    • rippadonn likes him.  That might be a red flag.... https://x.com/rippadonn/status/2042310653176594854
