Is the defense TOO multiple?

I don’t want to sound rude but come on dude. All great defenses do this on occasion. If you always a rushing your down lineman and have great coverage down field the flat will always be open. If you are aware that the opponent is over using their check down options sometimes you have to pop out with a DE or 3-4 OLB. This has been done for years, all the great DEs have done it and gotten interceptions or passes defended.

Lol my bad, anytime I see David Newton I can’t read anymore. That’s why I didn’t wanna sound rude because you’ve been around a while. Can we petition ESPN to force this guy into early retirement and just get Smitty or a Panther great to cover us. Hell Geoff Schwartz would be perfect the more I think about it.

Wasn't even Newton. Just some ESPN writer. Read the article and it will make you even more upset. It's an article about the game in which we are barely featured.

Real talk though, shows how much ESPN knows about our roster. The fuging write up about our game was 100% about Haskins.

I watched the Steelers stream for a little bit - they had  no clue who Burns was. Or anyone on our roster really. 

The disrespect was real. They were blatantly reading nameplates on jerseys.

I think that probably tells the story of that Brian Burns for defensive MVP bet.........

Whelp. Gotta build that rep. It starts in 15 days.

Seems like a waste of an MVP caliber DE to have him playing CB, although he did snag an INT.......

In all seriousness though. Yes. I don’t think we can carry him at CB. Too much competition, he doesn’t seem to have the proper physique and skill set to play CB.

    • I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.
    • He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
    • 6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
