What a difference sound coaching makes, and they are very, very well-coached. The league likes Pederson, too, so i'll be interesting to see how things continue to develop as the season goes on. Wentz looks like the real deal, too. The offense and defense both look pretty fierce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 1 hour ago, NoCalMike said: This defense is more opportunistic than good. The turnovers they generated today were the difference in the game. They certainly weren't stopping the Giants overall. This defense in 2016 is going to live or die on the turnover generating ability. I wouldn't go that far. I think that we have a lot of youth on defense and the ones with the most talent are still earning their stripes. And I think Barry is not the best DC in terms of scheme, but Scot's definition of a "football player" seems to be somebody that has a lot of athletic ability allowing him to win a lot of one on one matchups and thereby making more plays. I think the turnovers and big plays are more of the stage 1 part of it. Hopefully, as these guys are coached up and learn to stay in their gaps and stuff, they can become all out ballers.

carex Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 if Lauvao and Kory can't go I think they sign LeRib to back up. They have a guy, Ronald Patrick, on the PS, but he's only been around a week. I also think they may go with Williams at G and Ty at T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Watching Wentz play makes me feel a little bad for the Browns... sure, they got a super haul, but if the rook keeps it up, boy will they have blown it. Mind you, a certain Redskins rookie QB looked like a first ballot HOFer his first year, but still... can't the Browns do anything right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always someone else who's responsible with him. But, if true, that speaks volumes too. What Head Coach let's players make the call? Is he really that sackless? OMG. He lied about the time on the clock when we left 3 points on the field right before the half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff was predominantly a scrambler. Wentz is much more comfortable in the pocket. Still, it could come back to bite them. Glad we aren't in that position right now at least with Kirk.

The turnovers they generated today were the difference in the game. They certainly weren't stopping the Giants overall. This defense in 2016 is going to live or die on the turnover generating ability. This is exactly the defense I was expecting this year, just didn't expect the weaknesses to be as bad as they were. I thought we were going to give up a lot of yards, especially on the ground, but I also thought it'd be negated somewhat by TFL's (via one-gapping penetration) and turnovers. Basically, a defense that can get gashed but is explosive with game changing plays. We saw some flashes of that today, especially after that horrid start... but it's been a massive disappointment thus far overall. Hopefully they can start turning it around, this was an excellent momentum shift of a game. Winning in NY is something we just don't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team had just run a drive which, at that point, had consisted of nine plays, seven of them Matt Jones runs. Totaling 39 yards. And, we needed to eat the clock, and it was 3rd and 3. I've got no problem with us calling a run, there. Maybe we shouldn't have called that particular run. But I'm not really qualified to pass judgment on that.

I think we should've called whatever we thought gave us the best shot at picking up the 1st; there was WAY too much time left to be worried about chewing clock for that one play. I don't think you do that unless/until we pick up the 1st there. Now if the coaches thought the run gave us the best shot at reaching the sticks, I can respect that. But if they were primarily concerned with chewing clock, I think it was too early for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
