We need TD back.

I don’t know why we don’t just accept the fact that Shaq isn’t a three down LB. He is terrible in coverage and isn’t getting any better by the looks of it. The same guy who thinks he is able to cover guys in the slot is also comfortable with Colin Jones starting at safety. Neither can cover worth a damn and both got picked on heavily today.

If you are going to have him in on 3rd down he needs to be a pass rusher. He’s pretty damn good at it for a 4-3 linebacker.

Mayo is straight trash and sadly Shaw has basically just looked like a more athletic version of Mayo so far this season. There's no reason why TD shouldn't resume his usual role once he's back.

Is their anyway to opt out of that 5th year option we've picked up? Because there's no way he's worth $9M+ next season unless he starts playing a lot better.

Unless he suffers a serious injury, it’s not guaranteed.

If TD still looks anything like TD when he comes back we just need to honor his wishes to continue playing and let Shaq walk. Not worth $9M+. That type of money is for difference makers.

We drafted a S/LB tweener that covers like a run stopping LB and supports the run like a coverage safety. I've always defended Shaq in the past, but this is his time to shine and it's been hard to remember that he's actually been on the field.

I'm all for Shaq taking the mantle etc..etc...   But he keeps making the same mistakes over and over.  Mayo .. I can understand.. but this is unacceptable. 

As of right now... we need TD. 

The more games that pass during this period---Shaq's time to shine---I am not all for Shaq taking the mantle. His tackling and discipline is suspect.

Yep, I was all for the torch being passed to Shaq this year. Hell, I said the same thing last off-season for last season. But, Shaq IMO has shown us why that hasn't happened over the past three games. We need to see more out of this guy before we commit $9M+ in cap space to him next season. He's plenty worth his current cap value, but he's certainly not worth $9M+ based on what we've seen out of him so far.

If we can beat the Giants and get a healthy TD back at 3-1, I’m feeling excited.

Yep, it hasn't always been pretty and I hate losint to a division rival but if you would've told me that we'd have our OL decimated by injury, we'd lose Olsen to injury, Moore would be practically invisible, and our DL would struggle to produce a pass rush and then ask me if I'd take 2-1 going into the bye... I'd say, "Take it?! Are you serious?! I'd LOVE it!"

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
