What makes you say ZDS and Judon need to get up to speed? they are getting pressure regularly. Hate to say it but I think we missed Upshaw today. The edge setting is where we were lacking and Dumervil is not the answer for that.

Yeah, I often wonder why he cooled so much seemingly so fast. It's like after the Pitta incident we stopped hearing about him and he plummeted down the depth chart. Makes you wonder if he flipped the switch off during practices and just wasn't looking good because he wasn't being himself and tumbled down the depth chart. Going from practicing with the ones to being at the bottom of the depth chart could've really messed with his confidence as well. I feel like the only way to give him that fire back is to get him on the field and let him make some plays, but if he plays without fire until that time is it worth it if there are guys that are playing better? It's a difficult position for a coach. Put the guys who are playing better and give you a better chance of making plays or put the guy who is in a psychological rut hoping he might make a play.

I'd pay to see Alex Smith playing OG as long as its not for the ravens.

Bills -Won @ Browns - Win. For a team with a lot of bad seasons under its belt I think this season will be one of their worst. Jaguars - Win. After the close loss last season I don't see our guys letting it happen again.Raiders - Win. For the same reason as the JagsRedskins - Win. Cousins gets into an interception throwing mood. Giants - Win. Our defense bends a lot in this game, but they don't break. Our offense puts up TD's while NY puts up FG's Jets - Win. We are on a roll. BYESteelers ( home ) - Win. Come back off of the bye refreshed and ready to chase a perfect record. Browns ( home ) - Win. Browns put up a fight and we just barely win. Starting to loosen the reigns on a perfect season.Cowboys - Win. another ugly win, but our defense shuts down Elliot leaving the ball in prescotts hands.Bengals -( home) Loss. Leave it to the bengals to ruin our perfect season at home in devastating fashion. Dolphins - Win. Ugly win to get back in the win column. Patriots - Loss. It looked like we were going to edge out another close victory, but Tom Brady rallies at the end of the game.Eagles - Win. The rookie QB just isn't a match for the Sizzle/Doom combo.@ Steelers - Loss. Steelers get pay back at home to rally at the end of their season to clinch a wild card. @ Bengals- Loss. Bengals sweep us. One of the downsides to a good season. 12-4 and Playoff Joe decides to show up after a poor second half of the season to take us to the superbowl.

I agree. Their offenses are very different in that one is a dynamic run based offense and the other is a very versatile pass offense. Not having to deal with a well rounded offense right away to get our defense in a groove and build confidence before we have to face the bengals and steelers who can effectively run and pass on you I think will be really good for our guys.

I personally don't know that our pass rush was that bad. We didn't get the sacks, but I saw Jernigan, Judon, Zadarius, Mclellan who isn't even a pass rusher and even webby getting back there. Tyrod wasn't at all comfortable and he really isn't a guy that gets sacked all that much to begin with so I feel like the game plan may have been more about putting just enough pressure on him to make him uncomfortable, but not too much to where he will burn us and make us pay. Because we definitely contained him when he did try to take off.

In fairness if the defense can't find life without Suggs I don't have the warm and fuzzies.

Agreed, I think he needs to take some of ZDS' reps. ZDS seems to always be close, but I think Judon has a step or two on him.

There we go

Come on Yanda

Timmy boy!!

Aight defense lets get more negative yardage.

There we go tuck

Let's get on the board

Good note for the defense. We may make it to the second quarter holding them to negative yards

Now we are clicking

Wowowowowowow!!!!! Welcome BP!!!!

Let's go

Mink and Downing are terrible about over hyping. Although if I could I would choose either one of them to replace Hensely

I agree on Crocket. He's a real hassle to bring down. I think Maxx is faster and quicker and has better instincts as a ball carrier. Edit: I actually think the hurdle is often unnecessary. It's more flashy than effective imo

It's really going to come down to who is healthy. I think they cancel eachother out and are pretty even. Hands- Crocket<Maxx<Pitta Blocking- Pitta<Maxx<Crocket Playmaking after the catch- Pitta<Crocket<Maxx Chemistry with Joe- Maxx<Crocket<Pitta to me there's no clear favorite. Who is going to stay healthy is the question.

I feel like he's gone. In limited action in preseason he didn't really impress.

Marshal Yanda as returner GOAT

Wow. Alot of surprising moves. Not that I couldn't see any of them happening but for so many of them to happen. Cutting Forsett- I think we all thought this was a possibility, but not a probability. 5 WR's- With SSS and Perriman coming off injuries I didn't see this happening. I guess they must really like what they have in Aiken,Wallace, and Moore. Keeping Hurst over others- I don't know how he snuck on while some of these others got the boot. Pierce as the I undrafted rookie. After game 4 it seemed like he had a shot, but I wouldn't have guaranteed it. Carter finding a way in on a DEEP position. 7 corners. With our past this is smart, but wow. Who would have thought. Glad Canady made it. Elam over Brooks.

So what we do with him stresses me out. I feel like he could be a great tight end but coming in at the bottom of the depth chart like he is plus the suspension I just don't know if he will get a fair shot.
