You just don’t appreciate my thoughtful actual answer to the question. Shortest version be closest: creates conflict with the defenders on all plays potentially.

But it’s so very effective weapon…don’t underestimate the damage sporty Gibbs can do getting the ball in his hands(especially out past the huge lineman trapping the backfield)

I keep answering your question in much detail. When a team is rushing the ball down their opponents throat…what effect can that many Playactions have on a game? One we refer to as The Dagger!

So a pass to Gibbs is like play action? Those passes are more important than our run defense vs their stud combo? So they can rush it 35 times for 200 yards, but the 3 passes to Gibbs are the most important thing?

3 passes to Gibbs creates conflict with all 11 defenders? But you mentioned our LBs So if their OL just pushes our DL around all day, or St Brown keeps burning our #2 CB all day long, those things are not as important as 3 passes to Gibbs for 30 yards?

Teams pass…and teams run…Fangio can plan, scheme and call to deal with those. Detroit are very strong in both areas. But this very dangerous added weapon is a huge counter against a D for both types of alignments and defensive approach.

Nobody is underestimating anything from Gibbs, just don't understand how you would put 3 passes being more important than 20 or 35 runs, plus the matchup outside with our #2 CB. It is just baffling your priorities?

Telling you how this element could(read routinely has) exactly leads to openings for the run and pass game.

Against our zone defense, 3 short passes to Gibbs is the biggest issue?

I agree how this is an issue, but you see it as THEE issue, I just can't understand that. Seems like you are just trying to overanalyze, like the guy who picks his fantasy sleeper round 2 instead of round 6

It’s an in between very dangerous third element to create conflict in our defenders. If any of our LBs get caught without help alone in Gibbs they’re burnt toast. But this is just the actual simple production from running the play contribution. You gotta think next level here though. It’s that capability that creates the doubt and indecision with defenders. This element should make Fangio more hesitant to send the blitz ..run or pass. It has that far ranging effects.

The quick pass to Gibbs effects and changes our entire strategy and gameplan along with in the moment playcalling.

Maybe it will make more sense to you if I compared it to Ojomo on our big D stop. He didn’t make the tackle and stop himself. He recognized a repeated one word call from Love being repeated. Ojomo called out their play. That setup Carter and Phillips to make the big play stop. Do you realize any contribution Ojomo made for us….even if it didn’t show up in the statsheet?

I don't think you comprehend. I understand it could potentially be an issue, my question remains why do you think it's the most important issue. IDK, I could parallel like why would flowers be the most important thing at a wedding and not some actual real issue?

If they run it 35 times I’m already assuming we are toast

So then it's more important that we can stop their run first. Higher on priority list correct?

All this is a testament to how I stated this is a very needed move and test for GB by their GM. Have to put everything together to realize if LaFleur and Love will ever be good enough…not to win the most weak twos. To become CHAMPIONS!!!

I thought you said LaFleur was a great O mind. 7 points in 60 minutes

Yeah…thinking way too high of yourself to ever have even considered thinking…much less typing… I don’t comprehend. You already laid out a/some judgement thoughts about me. I suggest you wet your toes and just tread lighter. Stay awhile to be qualified to attempt to do such. I welcome you to join and contribute all you wish. It’s up to you as much as me the amounts of quality discussion occur. Play your role…if it’s discussing and adding to? Or are you just an addition to creating the issue you throw my direction?

First of all…do you believe Fangio deploys a Zone coverage against Detroit? I really not nearly as sure. Seems like we would matchup man on them preferably much more. We really need to have Q on Sun God. Nothing but trouble if we allow them to just move and create Amon matchups versus Adoore. Goes right down the line as how our D is built. Now this is almost 2026 NFL…very common to have man and coverage duties all in one playcall. Simplfied example: Q in Man while other side Zone.

She's light years ahead of you already. She can probably answer questions she is asked. She needs to teach you the ropes

Man big issue is if you don’t have a stud CB to take on St Brown. Also Man is susceptible to DBs backs turned away allowing the rushing QB. Not the big issue facing Detroit and Goff.

Boss, as in a community elder. Everyone on these boards qualifies as elders in this community, so give them the respect they deserve, and make their job easier rather than put obstacles in their way.

My other question would be why do you act like such a d#$k? I see people on here having a discussion and giving opinions and not necessarily agreeing all the time. But seems only you act like a total dooosh about things? Are there personal issues we don't know about? Issues that might cause you to need attention? Just curious, because this is supposed to be a site where we all get to talk about our favorite team, one would think that should bring positive vibes, especially with the success in recent years with Howie, Sirianni and co?

They suck. Get on board

Maybe this was the role BVS would fill. IDK just tossing that out for discussion

That is a good thought, but a FB would be leading the RB rather than trailing him ... acting as a battering ram rather than cleaning up the trash. A TE motioning across the LOS going from the play side to the weak side not only creates some misdirection the D has to react to, but can be perfectly positioned to clean up the trash caused bu the Guard (or Tackle) pulling.
