Meeks will prove to be the best acquisition of the offseason

I hope anyway.

Comes in and instills discipline, the Cover 2 or a variation and if the mistakes can be cut down and guys know and play their roles, I think the boys do well.

I am like you. I surely hope he is able to turn things around. I would so love to have a tough defense that plays smart and makes few mistakes. It was really upsetting to see how many times we would hold a team in the past few years only to give up a big play on third down as our secondary was out of position or one of our linemen gets free in the backfield only to wiff on an easy sack. If Meeks can help us play defense like Tampa played using a similar system, we will be tough to beat.

I think we'll see the marked improvement in season 2 under his stewardship

You are probably right. It should take some game experience before everyone learns their roles and stop making mistakes. Hopefully they still show progress this year as well. After last year's collapse it won't be that hard.

No, the biggest acquisition was in getting Peppers to turn around and want to sign a long term agreement. After that it's Meeks, sure. Some could argue that it was Meeks that got him to want it, but I would argue that it was more that nobody else wanted him at the price in this economy... I'm sure he also didn't mind Meeks being here, but that wasn't his main motivation IMO...

I'm glad you brought this up, it allows me to post my Motivational Poster again!

Look at it this way, our defense with Trgo and Peppers last year wasn't really all that great. I think the Meeks hiring not only helped get Pep to want to sign long-term, but also re-energized the rest of our defense. Everyone is excited about it and I personally can't wait to see what they do under his guidance.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      yeah, I can get a little of that.  But that's not what he is posting in his argument just now though.   He said people wouldn't even concede to the literal ability to do it when pressed on the literal ability.  I have never seen that.  He maintains it exists somewhere.  I mean, using anomaly games to make arguments about players just isn't the way.   There wasn't a defender within 10 yards of our guys on 2 of those 3 throws Sunday.  No one within 5 on the 3rd.   That's not Bryce Young answering questions about his play downfield..  That's Bryce Young taking advantage of coverage busts by a bad D.  Which hey, that's part of the game too.  Recognition and seeing the field.   It can't totally be dismissed.   That's still good play.  You want your QBs to make those plays.  But it's not getting into the long standing critique of BY IMO.

      Adam Thielen on Young

      Deserved, I wouldn’t use that word. Asked for? For sure. Am I upset over it? No.  People forget that AT was throwing his helmet in frustration last season over his QB’s ineptitude. The same QB was pretty inept to start this year, no guarantee AT would have helped him in those games any more than he did last year.  Just sayin.  And Dan doing him a solid probably did not go unnoticed by players around the league. I think it increases his rep with potential FAs. It sure can’t hurt it.

      You think that was the fault of the guy that was lighting it up or maybe the bums around him? Funnily enough, those bums are still being bums in his absence. Who would have thought!
