We saw it today with Minnesota going conservative against Pittsburgh, then again with Buffalo against Baltimore. Both Minnesota and Buffalo pulled off the wins.

What makes us different? Rivera will never understand the killer instinct and will go conservative every single time.

I know we have the talent (at least in most defensive positions). Is it our defensive scheme? Are our defensive players also coached to go conservative (ie, don't go for the pick - just make a tackle)?

I'm worried Rivera also saw these conservative calls and says "well, those guys won, so it's the right thing to do"

What about Matt "cotton" Schaub throwing a pick 6, up by a TD with a few minutes left in the game. I'm am in no way for conservative play calling, but you've gotta pick your spots.

fair enough. I didn't watch that game so I don't know how it went down. I did see that highlight and it was a very dumb throw.

Seattle is typically a team that turns up the intensity in the second half.

houston didn't let off the gas...seattle stepped on their necks.

 

Huh? What game were you watching?

 

Lynch got all his rushing yards in the first half, Wilson was under a 50% completion rate and threw for a buck-15 or so and Houston was up 20-3. Seattle never had a lead to "step on their necks..."

reread the posts ahead of mine...and next time pay attention to the flow of the conversation.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
