"Chest Up, Eyes Up, Locked Up."

We're talking 4ths-6ths though. That's not exactly "splashy", and wouldn't mortgage much of anything. Hopefully no one wanted them to go burn 1sts on Waddle. They have a pile of day 3 and beyond picks in the upcoming draft, and will probably receive more in comps. A couple mid-to-late...

Weird Al lives!

Yeah, I'd have paid that freight for Meyers. They'd have likely recouped both picks in comps anyway. Guess they feel like DK is indestructible? Or maybe they felt they weren't going to be able to meet his ask for an extension at the end of the year, so didn't want to add the second pick for a...

Finally got a chance to eyeball some of the all 22s. Way, waaay less post-snap rotations yesterday. Way more two high shell. Way more quarters. Less blitzing. In essence "more zone, less man, less fancy movement to try and disguise coverages, getting pressure mostly w/4 rushers"

MVS it is (as most expected at this stage). Signed to PS, Bishop axed.

It's not a "great" sign, but this isn't an elite defense and it's not like the Colts can't put up points. It's a better sign than the last 5-6 weeks, given the opponent. Stonewalling Taylor with the heater he was on was impressive. Wilson fumbling the ball where he did trying to be super man...

This (or something like it) is what we'd have to expect, I hope. Ramsey kicks back to slot (where he is at his best) in certain packages. Based off results, Ramsey has to stay at S for the time being. It'd be nuts to stop what worked after seeing what didn't the past 6 weeks. The fact a...

Boz can time travel? Rad!!🤓

Boswell is gonna get a 70 yarder at some point.

Not able to watch live today, just looking at stats, but given what the defensive ones look like if there was ever a game that was proof positive that a large portion of their issues with coverage was the safeties this game would be it. When or lose, I'm looking forward to being able to see the...

Was Clark's illness "playing football good makes me nauseous"? Cuz he's been suffering from that for 2 months, seemingly. He is easily addition by subtraction, no matter what his replacement does. Can't get much worse than what Clark's brought.

Steichen has faced Tomlin as a playcaller thrice, and has pretty much made Mike's defense his kitty in all three meetings. Can't see how this incarnation of Pittsburgh's D is going to slow them down much at all. They will be incredibly fortunate to hold them under 30.

FWIW, most stuff I'm seeing around the innerwebz from Pats beat types regarding Dugger is pretty ungood (which makes sense, given they got him for nearly free). Basically very similar stuffs to Peppers: "Used to be good. Got hurt and hasn't been the same since. He can still help a team in the...

Dugger was essentially free, and is basically an Elliot clone (e.g. seems to be able to stay on assignment, and on a team full of guys who can't tackle he can actually tackle). Perhaps he helps them stop the bleeding/maintain vs. the run (the Packers were noticeably more successful running last...
