Good read on Gamble's Struggles

I'm hoping this negativity and film watching embarrassment he must have felt in the film sessions will help motivate a man who maybe got a little "fat and happy" with his new contract.

I dont mind the new zone schemes, I'm still hoping they will have some variations of zone blitzes. Those zone blitzes are monster takeaway makers.

I was thinking of how bad ass smitty would be jamming a receiver off the line.

I'm glad he owned up to his poor playing last game. It shows a lot of maturity. Hopefully he can live up to that contract this year.

Hope he corrected his mistakes.

“I came out and played a bad game, missed a couple of tackles and gave up a deep ball,” said Gamble. “I watched the (film) and corrected the mistakes and I'm ready for the next game.”

Well, at least he fixed the missed tackles.

Gamble is far from the sharpest tool in the shed. Didn't get a 9 on the wonderlic? Don't be shocked if he does not catch on this season.

Can't believe someone actually cares about the Wonderlic....

Gamble isn't a Rhodes scholar but football smarts do not necessarily correlate to the Wonderlic. Besides I thought this scheme was supposed to be more simple?

It's on film. What do guys expect him to say? He was awful.

lol

on a side note who was the player the announcers were talking about that went back to school in the offseason and got his finance degree.

Also, I also think maybe Trgo's "complicated" playbook was b/c he simply didn't have the talent to run Fox's defense....therefore it had to be complicated to try to make enough adjustments to get something workable......I think a dummy version of a defense we aren't built for could be much worse.....

Gamble is going to get abused this year.....he has never earned his recent hype nor his paycheck. Put Gamble out in coverage w/ a below average pass rush and it is going to be a disaster.....Gamble wasn't even that good last year (which is what people will claim). Gamble didn't force guys to throw to the other side....the other side simply sucked much more and was too tempting. Gamble is pretty good on the short passes.....he has always been a disappointment when asked to drop back.

People can moan about Peppers all they want.....I think you can easily argue other guys have contracts that make less sense.

Will the Cover 2 be the death of our Secondary?

With no pressure on the QB from our Dline, a QB can sit back there and pick apart a zone

Meeks would be wise to throw in more zone blitzes with a speedy(and hopefully healthy) Beason.

Use your LB's like Pitt to make up for a lack of pressure from your D line.

How smart do you have to be to not let a guy get by your bump off the line?? I know it doesn't take any sort of brain power to run fast. The biggest problem I had with him the other night is that he was getting slapped around by a geezer off the line and then didn't have the speed to catch him afterwards...

Look I am not saying Gamble was great the other night by any means, but Mason is a savvy vet WR. He's really good. He's not just some old guy.
