Watching the Eagles Defense smack the Giants in the mouth shows me what we lack on our defense: A heart.

Other than Beason, Harris and a couple of others.....There is no desire or ability to destroy and dominate the opponent. Brian Dawkins and gang smashed the Giants in the mouth and are still alive. Seeing Dawkins basically break down in his walk by interview shows the man puts it all on the field....HEART! I think we have more talent than the Eagles Defense but talent gets you so far.

Our secondary pitter- patters in zones (The same zones that Tampa prospers in, by the way) our DEs run past the play, no DT push in the middle, ineffective blitz schemes it just lets opponents stay in the game. Coaching-BIG YES.....Players-BIG YES

We never have an answer for the most average Qbs picking us apart (i.e. Joey Harrington last season, Garcia, Culpepper this season) let alone Pro-Bowl level QBs. We all blame Mike Turdvac, and I most of all do not wish him back next season....but there are a couple of guys on the defense that seem to get too many passes because of their stats.

I call out problem number 1.

He looks good....other people say he is great...He has great stats...but....

Julius Peppers: 14.5 sacks and 5 forced fumbles is a GREAT statical year....but does he dominate his man? He had a whole season of Back up left tackles...Tight Ends.....Basically take him out of the game more than the other way around. Sure he got his sacks but outside of 6 games maybe I did not see where he would wreak havoc in the pocket freeing up other guys for sacks. I do think in another scheme or with some other coaching Peppers will dominate at another level. It just does not look like he wants to do it here and also we do not seem capable to develop him correctly. Do not be the needy girlfriend/boyfriend....just let him go(sign and trade of course.) Holding on to someone who has "checked out" mentally will reap frustration and sadness...in every aspect of life..get the most value for him now or it could get ugly.

Thomas Davis-Na'il Diggs: Thomas Davis is real good...he played the best series of games this season but I though he was kind of ineffective the last 5 weeks of the season. I think teams have schemed for him and he is a little inconsistent. His tackles were down and forcing turnovers were all but gone from a play-making position.

Na'il Diggs aged before our eyes and quit making plays. I thought our root problem was the LBs and DEs not making enough plays which of course exposes any secondary.......poor Ken Lucas.

Just get some heart guys! Long enough.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The reality though is that there just isn't a traditional #1 pick type of player in this draft to begin with. He might have been below Marvin last year, but I don't think he'd have been below Nabers. And if you think he disappears in some college games, then you're only looking at the box scores, I guarantee you not a single NFL GM will say he disappears in games when watching the tape. Arizona's offense is a MESS this year, the new coaching staff is beyond bad and the fanbase is screaming for them all to be fired, our OL is awful, our QB is playing like utter garbage, and we don't have another weapon to attract any defensive attention.  Teams are double and triple teaming him on almost every snap, and when combined with the OL and QB issues, it's just impossible to get him the ball sometimes.  And even when our QB forces the pass to him, half the time it's not even catchable given how poor he's been playing. And even despite all that, he's still 3rd in the nation in yards. I've also seen more WR rankings having Burden over Hunter than I have seen Hunter over T-Mac.  If we had a true outside #1 WR, then taking someone like Hunter (or Burden) instead of T-Mac would make more sense as if Hunter were to play WR in the NFL, he'd more likely be used a slot guy like Godwin or Kupp.   There's a reason most mocks/analysts who don't list Hunter as a CB/WR (or just Athlete) list him as a CB.  Because it's his better position and the side of the ball he's more likely to play in the NFL, partially due to his wire thin frame, I don't see him holding up long term as a WR.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.

      Anthony Richardson benched

      By Ghostofdelhomme · Posted

      All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
