Don't be concerned about the last two games

What has happened the last few weeks has been fairly obvious: the defense is getting gassed from being on the field for so long due to quick offensive strikes. This allows offenses designed around big plays to have way too much time to throw. Also, the refs are working overtime to fug us over. We can't control the latter, but we have shown that, even as gassed as our pass rush or secondary has been, we are still making big plays at big moments and overcoming them both. Once we get Charles Johnson back against Dallas, we'll be able to rest our defensive ends more and that will greatly help us keep up. 

We're 8-0; don't fall into the narrative. It was never going to be easy to beat Green Bay and Indianapolis. We withstood late-period onslaughts with a gassed defense and played past the refs.

We won the ToP by 4+ minutes...if the D is really getting gassed then they really need to work on some conditioning because these quick throw offenses do seem to be wearing them down in the 4Q....they dominate for 3Q's then just fall right off.

Neither side of the ball was good in the 4th. Green bay attacked Benwikere and Tillman all day. Offense couldn't stay on the field, run blocking was just terrible.

Dude if we sucked that bad we would have lost.

    • Qbs aren't defined by physical abilities. Brady, Brees, Manning, Montana, Warner,.....doesn't seem to correlate.

    • If we are going to spend the money anyway, maybe the signing is not as bad as it seems.  Mays outperformed Corbett (before his injury and if you go back to last year, Corbett has been below average) and then Christensen took the job and Mays quickly took it from him and never looked back.  He could use improvement reaching to the next level (LBs) but picking up stunts and blitzes---he was surprisingly good.  Run blocking needs some work, but he is 25.  Corbett, in my view, should be G/C depth and if Mays steps back, he is there.  Mays should start because this team is building for the future and 30 year old players are not building blocks.  We shall see.  That is how I think about it, but there are many factors we do not know. Having said that, I like what Zavala is doing, and I do not want to bring in someone who would take opportunities away from him.  Zavala was really good at RG down the stretch, and in limited duty, was awesome. In fact, we have a guard from the PS who played briefly and did well, but he only played a few plays.  He is 25 and I recall that fans of his former team were upset when we signed him.   Maybe as the backup center only (Corbett).  You need 2 centers to run practices efficiently.  I cannot say enough about the OL coaches on this staff.  What they have done is overshadowed by the Lewis / Hunt signing.  Mays, Ekwonu, Zavala--impressive growth.
