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.

      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

      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.

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

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
