We all know that speed rushers give our oline fits. These are really the two guys that can cause havoc in the backfield. Remmers is suspect already and Oher may have issues also. We can't afford to have Cam running for his life.....that's when the mistakes happen.  Can't let them storm the gates and be disruptive. You can bet that they have watched the result of the oline folding under a heavy rush and have plans to follow suit. How should Shula game plan to prevent this?

I think a healthy Jonathan Stewart would make a big difference for us in the pass blocking game. Tolbert needs to hold up too. Our tackles vs. their ends is my most concerning matchup. 

Honestly I think the way you neutralize them is to run Cam. Hell give him 15 carries. Get Cam moving towards the line of scrimmage and see who wants to hit him. When Cam is trying to scramble 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage, bad things happen. Obviously we need Stew to run the ball. Maybe some screens and play action. But for me, we need to have that Seattle defense huffing and puffing in the third Quarter. To do that, we need lots of first down signs from #1.

PFF had this to say today

The combination of Oher and Olsen trying to block Bennett seems like a recipe for a 247-pound man bearing down on Newton or Jonathan Stewart shortly after the ball is snapped. For Avril’s part, he will be largely going up against Remmers in the pass game. The last time the two met, Remmers had the worst pass-blocking grade of his season, surrendering five pressures.

When you look back to the previous matchup in Week 6, Avril certainly got the better of Remmers, but Bennett was relatively quiet, posting an average pass-rushing grade but poor markings in run defense.

Add in a mixture of quick passes. Against Tampa Bay, Cam got sacked on back to back plays, the next series we started running quick slants with Funchess and Brown. Also, mix up the snap count and get them to jump off sides. Neutralize their aggressiveness by forcing them to hesitate about timing the snap.

I don't disagree with you. It will be important to gas their defense and keep the pocket clean for Cam. But I think the more important matchup will be our defense versus Russell Wilson. Either by containing him in the pocket and getting sacks, or by outstanding coverage when he scrambles or throws up his ducks, we need to shut him down. I think if we do that, it won't be a close game, even if the Seahawk defense is swarming all game.

      He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.

      RODS gotta GO

      I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
