a source i am close to who is sorta close to the team gave me some insight on why mccaffrey and samuel were a perfect combination and heavily targeted as a combo

Looks about right... 2 out of 2 examples have 2 players running 9s

yeah when we were filming in cambodia i took the team out for pizza in kampong speu and it was seven bucks apiece. outrageous by SEA standards. of course then they all had to poo in the jungle twenty times the next day... lesson learned 

I've got a gut of steel now. I don't believe I've had anything like that happen.

same. eight separate trips will do that to you. to date the only times i've gotten sick is at a jollibee in southern luzon and some terrible ass indonesian fast food when i was trekking sulawesi

anyway this post is kinda poo because it states the obvious. we all know gettles was targeting speed guys and having an insider confirm that is kinda useless. but the real takeaway is precisely what the addition of this combination of speed does to defenses. safeties really can't cheat in. that extra safety in the box that could disrupt the run has to stay upfield. if linebackers don't instantly diagnose the play they're fuged.

mike shula is going to look competent this year

great christ am i drunk. a bunch of tens were buying me shots at burke st. and foothills but i turned them down to write this  post for you because of all the pointy elbows. my dude who knows a big dude who told me about captain munnerlyn well before anyone else picked it up told me about shula's plan to revolutionize the offense. here it is.
...basically it's obvious as fug. everyone here has called it philosophically: we're getting faster. that's clear. but shula, who's low key riding a hot seat with rivera (gettleman is ice cold and will happily hand select his own staff if rivera doesn't cut it) has demonstrated a desire to evolve much the way he did going into the 2015 season. ted ginn was a dinosaur and his speed was about to start seeping away, rendering him useless. KB is a chronic sandbagger and funchess has a branden lafell-esque ceiling, let's be honest. the latter two are about as fast as my grandma and she's dead.
shula recognized that seven-step drops for lumbering wide receivers are getting us in trouble, so he and gettleman put heads together and decided a proper scatback and a true deep threat wide receiver were the answer. why? because this:

in this extra shitty picture note that the presence of KB and funchess in a single wing scares no one, not even the atrocious saints secondary circa 2016. this is because the free safety can rove and cover back quarters and the strong safety is fast enough to drop back if the play is diagnosed as pass and cover his section of the field. this is ultimately because KB and funchess aren't fast enough to demand two high safeties.
adding samuel changes this. mccaffrey changes it even more. suddenly that strong safety has to move back to a normal position, two high, to respect the threat. envision if you will this play:

no defensive assignments shown but you don't need them to see that safeties are pooping their pants. FS has to play high to account for samuel in the slot or outside. olsen demands the string safety. KB ad funch see consistent single coverage due to the inability of safeties to bracket.
and then there's mccaffrey. safeties can't cover him physically, and if they tried they'd break their ankles. carolina picking him opens up massive lanes in the backfield and flats if mccaffrey is being moved around properly.
short version: mike shula is gaining a smudge of credibility. let's just see if he can pull it off.

If they were at Burke St, I doubt they were tens...

Hmmm so who drafted kb the ' sand bagger'  and traded up for the 'Brandon lafell ' Funchess

they were slow and no separation in college
