I'm just wondering how you can view this team as anywhere worse than last years

Do you expect being another year older Lane will have an improved season? Or is it more likely he misses more time/is hampered playing injured more than last season?

IDK that right side still bothers me,but the secondary is WAY better than last year

You, of course are entitled to your opinion. I'm only trying to discern why you feel that way

Same thing I was looking for from you. Pointed out how the media ranking I cited pointed towards Rams and Packers neck and neck with us. Sounds like you believe we are a better team than both. I just asked you the question…but you didn’t answer…instead you just came at his opinion being mine…without answering what your actually even is.

I'm looking at the overall big picture. We can argue about position to position and hopefully Hurts won't be a bonehead and he won't be tied down with CRAP play calls

If all 3 are neck and neck then that means we can go 1-1 or 2-0? I'm looking for a nice blow out win in Brazil to kick things off because we are going to RATTLE Love if these young guys step up. We need to show the league that 11th ranking is BS

Me too,but you think GB is ahead of the Rams also? I would count those 2 as about the same. GB has a decent secondary but their run D is average at best and we have Bark that can chew them a new one

They drafted arguably the top LB in the draft in Cooper. Another LB in the 3rd. Drafted S in the 2nd, 4th and 6th. But also they brought in Jacobs at RB. One could easily argue he’s as good as Saquan. One could also argue our run D is worse than the Packers run D.

Really(not a hater) this is all on your boy Hurts now. No collapses,no BS,no bad decisions. It's time to earn that paycheck and I see zero way this defense is worse than last year when we went 10-1

Rookies like we have why are their rookies better than ours?

I would just LOVE to see rook DeJean on Watson. That would be a terrific matchup since DeJean has the size to offset his 

That’s a pretty large ask for DeJean…especially week one. Would not consider that favorable for us. Hopefully come postseason time…be a better matchup.

In pursuit of WR's it's more than 40 many times. You have to count how far they run ACROSS the field also(that's where your angle of attack comes in)

I’m not going on and on and on…about the most fundamental drill based on angle of pursuit. It’s important. Myself and most any coach everywhere believes the same. You aren’t changing my mind on this fact. If you don’t believe angle of pursuit is important to tackle the returner…I believe you’re on your own on that point then. Is what it is.

I didn't way we'd see it, I said I would LOVE to see it. He has the size and strength to shut Watson down. So I guess I have higher hopes than you

When TF did I say it's not important? What I SAID was on kick offs you aren't getting angle of attack in 10 yards

  • At least 7 players with foot on the B35 yard line (restraining line) with alignment requirements (outside numbers, numbers to hashes, and inside hashes)
  • All kicking team players other than the kicker will line up with one foot on the receiving team’s B40 yard line

Lined up on the 50 vs the 35,that is 15 yards. After it is touched the impact will happen in 10 yards and you are NOT getting an angle of attack in 10 yards

Maybe it's the wrong map LOL IDK

40 to 35…five yards….which still has absolutely very little to do with angle of pursuit to tackle the returner.

  • Author

No matter the POINT is there is NOT enough distance to get an angle of attack,there is just NOT

With the return man?

Better yet there IS NO angle of attack in 5 yards NONE

I'm assuming after the catch he moves forward??

Into the mess where the other players come together in 1o yards? Or 5 or whatever

  • Author

So no matter where the returner goes the players that are far away and can have an angle of attack cannot get there in time to make a difference unless they run 2 second 40's Once they DO get there the only play is a block in the back because they are already behind the returner get it?

Q, Maddox and Slay. Slay I see as just another year  older and a downgrade from last season. Though he was injured to finish the year. Maddox pretty much the same. Have to figure Q takes some time learning the ropes…normal rookie stuff. But Q really can’t perform worse than Bradberry did last season.
