So what changed..  RG and RB.   What has your concerned. 

 

To be real honest here I’d say T. Kelce is really up there at C. But Jurgens can move over. Both G spot we have solid options and depth. Either T goes down how does the backup do? Lane isn’t a spring chicken. Mailata got married 😂

It’s arguable. We’re biased. But Seattle Oline run blocks always under Carroll. Every year they have a couple RB go down. Next guy comes in killing it.

Yes that's why they made the SB the last 3 years in a row

Not if you feel confident thst the QB is the legit top level guy. 

Idk...on one hand you talk up Hurts like nobody else I've seen...even have him as part time GM.... now you are concerned if we have to pass.   The ball should be in your best players hand. 

Nah…QB best friend is RB rushing the ball. Was ridiculous what Hurts had to do in that final game. But even Mahomes used Pacheco to kill the clock and win. There’s always risk passing. Running and moving that clock is easiest smartest football. Not time to prove a hero…or the greatest. Just like Seattle’s SB failure. Hand it to Beast Mode! Don’t get cute to make Russel Wilson the hero. Just win!

RB 

So your confidence in 3rd and 2... Sanders...even though he wasn't on the field for so many key plays....losing him on a key short yardage play is your concern?

Can you name me games where it came down to the end where it was Sanders who made the play. Like the small hole that he gets the 2 yards that you don't think our RBs will get this year.

Obviously at your high level of intelligence and football knowledge...you have examples.  Not just trying to spin in favor of Sanders or anti Howie?

Seattle good and 3rd and 1. The problem is that never happens at the GL LOL

Like college ball. 

All levels of football if you watch close enough. When a play is there to be made…how big is it made? 80 yard TD? Or 7 yard gain and a first down?

I'm concerned Jurgens is te unknown...he may not get the push or the right block ...he is unproven.   I'm using logic though..not a bias toward a guy like Sanders.

Don't most teams go with 4?

Think 3…especially dressing on Gameday

Always risk every play. There is no risk at all running 2 yard running plays. Of course you won't score but damn you are risk averse

Last year we had 5 WR's and 4 RB's

I expect the same...but might not be the initial cut down. Eventually I expect it to go that way.

If you need 3rd and 1 back consistently you have a serious offensive problem

Just pointing out it isn’t about big picture stats much that matters. It’s about situations. Can you get done…what needs to be done?

How about that risk of your QB dropping the ball in the big game?

Jesus that's why(for the last time) we got Penny

Well that needs to be proven. Plus he isn’t the right guy from the trainers table. He can rush for 100 yards a carry….but won’t help if he can’t suit up that game.

Siri likes Sermon,i doubt he goes on the PS which is Hams dream. 5 RB's 5 WR's.we can afford to lose someone else somewhere, or maybe one gets traded we'll see

Yeah...new players with more capabilities allow the offense to add to the playbook.  Very excited to see it 

If the RG position can hold....we should be good.

Yeah new playcalling also. But need the balance of run and pass.

That's injury.... in talking about the lineup we have to start.  On 3rd and 2... only Jurgens and RB changed. Really Sanders came out on a ton of those plays.  So we basically just added more options at RB....for these specific plays. 

Jurgens is an unknown.

I mean...instead of them using just Gainwell.... now they added Penny and Swift to the mix.   

You don’t think that's better than when they just used Gainwell in that role?

We’ll see. How did Gainwell look on our own endzone? It looked like we might have a problem there. 2 points for them on a S.

I already stated that multiple times,and once again why we need to keep Sermon get it????

So Dak ... you said he got paid because they added Cooper?   Obviously the #1 WR is the best friend of the stud QB.

The running game can mask a bad QB.  In the modern game you aren't going to be able to win avoiding the QB making passes.

Unless your opponent stinks...like the bulk of last year.

Dude.. getting the 3 TD lead in the first place is not normal in the NFL.    That's college ball.     That's the fluke part.

 

Up 1 point you need to kill the clock to win. Nobody here talking a three TD lead

Say Penny goes down,we insert Sermon in the rotation. Even with 4 RB;s one of them is still expendable. That's a pretty solid insurance policy in my view

I don't see long runs and wide open holes in the NFL like we do college.   College has the bigger plays by far. 

I agree with you about the importance of 3rd and 2.   I agree Sanders could take a ball to the house on a fluke play where the red sea parted.    But I disagree Sanders was a guy that made a difference on those 3rd and 2 plays 

He is absolutely the " stat' guy.   Not the guy that makes the impact.
