"I've seen what a feeding frenzy looks like."

"I've seen what a feeding frenzy looks like." - David Gettleman on the virtues of having a monstrous defensive line

 

 

Today we saw our first feeding frenzy in the Gettleman Era.

 

 

With our young, extremely talented defensive front there is no limit to how far this team can go. Not to mention the offense.

 

 

Today all aspects of the game were clicking. I said before the Buffalo game, if we go into the bye at 1-2 we will have a good shot at jumping out to a 6-2 or 5-3 record, and anything can happen from there.

 

The past two seasons we have come out of the bye very flat.

 

In 2011 it was the 30-3 beatdown by the Titans. Last year it was the Dallas loss.

 

 

These next 4 games is where Rivera has the chance to prove he can be a head coach in the NFL.

if we come off the bye and beat the cards into the ground i'll finally believe rivera's found some sort of groove.

 

as for feeding frenzies, i'm sure our line is licking their collective chops at the prospect of facing carson palmer's statuesque ass after the bye

In 2010 when I was hoping we would draft Cam I argued that drafting a DT wasn't that big of a deal.

Yeah, I was wrong. Star has been amazing so far and the entire D-line is better because of him.

I'm still glad we got our QB, but I admit I was completely wrong about how much a DT can impact an entire defense.

To be fair I'm kinda glad we waited for Star.  Dude might be a few pegs ahead of Dareus.  Gotta see how the season plays out, still too early.

If he needs to remember what Greg looks like he can just go in the bathroom and look at the imprint on his back.

 

My favorite hit of all time was when The Kraken smacked the poo out of him and knocked him out of the game. The refs said it was roughing the passer, but that looked like a clean hit to me. It was like watching a panther take down a goat. Beautiful carnage.

 

Rodeo is the man btw lol

 

 

Palmer doesn't need to watch tape on Hardy, he's lived it.

This might explain something we won't have next week:

 

Ex-New York Giants’ linebacker Chase Blackburn said he helped his new team decipher the Giants’ offense.

“I had an idea of what they run and what they like to do in situations,” Blackburn said. “We had a great game plan going in. I’ve been sharing all the information all week. Guys, all of us, linebackers were out there knowing what to do; (defensive backs) knew what kind of routes they were going to get off the route combinations. It makes for a big difference when you can play the game at that speed. We were able to play fast because we were aware of what they were going to do.”

    • And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth  
    • I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years. 
    • We need to hope this scenario plays our next week he fails with pressure…what that means with Evero, is beyond me
