Yes Ray was better with goose and Adams. But when he lacked those mammoths up front he still performed just not as well. Smith in some games has been mia out there. A guy with his number is there but it isn’t him. He requires these types of dudes to perform. That makes it a need and not just a luxury.
A great dt that can rush from the middle and stop the run is gigantic. It puts pressure in the lap of the qb. It also helps outside rushers get home by eating an extra blocker. Also if we dnt stiffen up the spine we will get run on more and more.
If I was hung like John Holmes I would have had a line of girlfriends. Lose the next 2 and win week 18. 8-9. The question is what Tomlin has and probably tie breakers.
I said they wouldn’t start elsewhere. They would be in the rotation. I think we need 2 starting caliber and if Jenkins retires another rotational. Def a starting edge and a good backup.
The Cincy ol is trash. I might be able to crease them. These guys would not start on gb, den, hou, lac, sea, Jax, or the eagles. I’m happy they are playing hard but they lack big time talent.
I was watching it. No matter he needs to be shelved for the season. Add in any long term assets. Take an L on the last 3 games to get the better draft position.
Without that game changing running ability you don’t get the spy or an extra rusher to go after Lamar. It’s an extra db or 2 eliminating the areas he likes to throw.
Young and moon turned into great drop back guys,. It also lengthened their careers. Allan is within 2 yrs of breaking down to often he has been asked to be Mike alstot. Just wait for that shoulder injury that keeps him from throwing right. He will be like newton.
I have an idea and a plan.
But he always had the threat to take off. That is a dual threat. If you are just going to stand in there like a Brady or rivers then you don’t have to keep an eye out for a run. You can just play the receivers,
