[TheRumGone]

i guess people just forgot what our defense did last year.

 

the only thing that concerns me is the offense and Cam.

Frank Kearse

Joe Adams

Antwan Applewhite (starter)

Chris Gamble (starter)

Charles Godfrey (starter)

Haruki Nakamura (starter)

Josh Norman (rookie starter)

Louis Murphy (starter)

James Anderson (starter)

I know that was 2 years ago, but ifs crazy to think what our expectations were with some kf those players (and others on the roster)

Applewhite was a good rotational edge rusher but no starter or shouldn't have been.

Joe Adams, good guy some players seemed to like him but there is a reason he isnt in the leauge now.

Gamble had the physical skills but he didnt want to play any more (shows by retiring the next season)

Godfrey starter last year but out perfomred by a FA SS and a FA FS.

Nakamura....thats all I gotta say.

Louis Murphy a Hixon type WR

Anderson, being a hokie fan im a little biased but for a 3-4th round draft pick we got some decent years with him and hes still in the leauge now.

Honestly the only thing I'm worried about is if Cam doesn't play like himself, and we can't move the ball on offense. Besides that we bout to dominate.

That play design was horrible. I mean I can't tell if maybe the offensive line thought it was a screen. Maybe Chud dialed up a misdirection speed option hence why Newton faked one way (and it wouldn't surprise me - Chud had so many WTF gimmick plays earlier in the year). Or maybe Williams was supposed to take a handoff and went the other way. It was like everyone was confused.

I really enjoyed this topic. Awesome write up KP! I completely forgot about #3.  There is something to be said about routine and how that translates into preparedness.  I vote that you do a write up like this weekly digging into the past to pull out great nuggets like this.

10/10 great thread

LOL @ Byron Bell being the only guy that was of any use in that Gif. Jordan Gross even whiffed.

 

Hey now, Greg Olsen blocked someone too! 

[Jesse]

That was the day we had what, 10 rushing yards? You make some good arguments as to why we should exceed in the opener. My faith rests in the front seven to stop their offense and allow us to win field position.

[ShutDwn]

That was one of the most disappointing, frustrating games to watch just because of how incredibly lethargic they all looked. It was like they were all hungover. 

 

Also, wow so many bench players... We still have some of those types but damn that's not much talent.

i agree about cam and to a an extent the offense (mainly w/o cam), but it is our defense going up against josh mccown and what is apparently going to be play-calling by committee since their OC will be gone and handing the reigns over to that QB coach who has no pro experience.

i think our defense will probably be able to score more than the tampa offense.
