Qoute from Richard Marshall(if someone else has already posted this,sorry)

"But I think we're going to be more physical this year. We're getting jams (on the receivers) more often.”

I hope this is true. I am so sick of seeing the receiver with a 10 yard cushion. We will find out come September.

I think the 10 yard cushion came from Trgos bend but dont break scheme. When you play far off you cut out the deep routes thus dont BREAK by not allowing big gains. The down side is you give up underneath routes. Im not a big fan of it my self.

It's gut wrenching to watch it get shredded when the opposition wants to move the ball in desperation mode without tossing it deep. The Giants game last year was one painful example. That kind of stuff can get fixed.

when i was in Greenbay 2 years ago I was sitting right behind the Panthers bench on the 1st row. I will never forget that the defense gave up a TD and marshal came over to the sideline right in front of me and lit into Jenkins and the other starters. HE WAS PISSED- Thats when I knew the kid was serious.

He is small, but he has a lot of fire, and is intense.

We got burned deep, short, on the side, up the middle...just about anywhere they wanted to throw on us, teams have been doing it.

Bumping, or no bumping. More than just the jamming at the LOS needs to be corrected in order to stop getting shredded on. Making a QB scared he is gonna be on his back 3 outta 4 plays is a GREAT way to start.

As a DC, Trgovac seemed to develop a fear of giving up big plays, one that grew worse over time. As you watch his schemes and their execution progress over time, they "bent" more and more and more until it was practically "do contortion and don't break".

Maybe as a DL coach he'll be more aggressive, but as a DC he was one of those guys for whom the fear of failure was so great that it actually wound up preventing success.

    • I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.
    • Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.     
    • With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
