Their answer before when people went 12 as to put Hankins and Mazi in together.

We have dealt with talented OL's trying to run on us. Eagles tried to do it just last week.

Acho has a point I guess but you guys are acting like it is new that the nickel is the normal.

Buffalo started the game with an almost 7 minute drive for a TD. Then on their first possession in the 2nd half an 8+ minute FG. 2 drives alone killed over 15 minutes.

Even if you have an explosive offense and respond quickly and score. Your defense is going to be exhausted.

Can not give the other team an extra 10 minutes and expect to win the game. We were on Defense for 35+ minutes.
That's the Defense's fault.

This a large part of the problem. There are currently 3 LBs on the roster, Evans (who should only be STs) Parsons (who plays mostly edge) and Clarke. Need more bodies and probally don’t need 5 RBs.

Hec, the way this offense is constructed, we only need 3 RBs MAX with FB Luepke...we need more DTs and LBs for sure.

No it doesn't.

You defeat blocks by getting to the point and playing leverage. It doesn't matter if you're 215 or 250 if you have a 320-lb puller.
but it requires strength as well. a 245lb LB is much stronger than a 205 saftey. you can get leverage, but if not the strength to execute on that leverage you lose. if it was all about leverage, then you can put a 240LB DT and expect him to go against guards and centers and say, just use leverage!

Why post anything from this guy? He has proven to be a clown time and time again. LBs aren't the issue, its scheme and no good 1 tech DT.
Are you saying a Bobby Wagner type ML wouldn't have helped? Sorry, but if you are, you're incorrect.

This is stupid because LVE has been there when they've had the same problems. Their body types don't matter.

The only roster construction issue they have is a total lack of playmakers on the offensive side of the ball.
Wolf boy sucked and is toast….adios amigo at any price

An undersized DL running too many twists and stunts, and DE that get washed out of the play on almost every snap is a disaster waiting to happen against mauling offensive lines.

The Bills took the opening kickoff and ran it right down the field to take the lead. Dallas was and would’ve continued to play catchup, matching scores at best. The game was over once the Bills went up 2 scores because the Bills ran with impunity. That game was very similar to the Rams Otis Anderson playoff game.
No they threw the ball.

They are all the same.

If you want intelligent discussions that have the goal to actually explain something the NFL is not the place for it.

This is meant for your entertainment. Catchwords and empty phrases that stimulate you emotionally and therefore generate money.
Deep insight is difficult to follow and gets boring fast if your looking for quick satisfaction. Most people will switch off and so you dont earn money.

Then also to look for someone who has something meaningful to say on asocial media is a contradiction in itself.

The first play he showed (with the 4 Safeties in the box) was even MORE ALARMING scheme wise when you add to the fact that you had 4 UNDERSIZED DL (Micah, Golston, Osa, & DLaw)…so, the heaviest player you tried to compete against 22 personnel is AT BEST 290 (Osa). That’s on Quinn…PERIOD!!!!!

When you have one as brittle as LVE you can't really say that
LVE was not a physical LBer.

We either need super human safeties who can avoid the blocker and make the tackle( we don’t) or physical LBer’s 250 lbs or more, that can shed blockers and make tackles( we don’t).

With our personnel our Safeties and LBers need to find a way to get around blockers because they are not good at taking on blockers.
