He didn't fall; Green was prepared for it and punched him midspin sending him sprawling. And since that's his signature move you don't bring it to a compete period were they are expecting it.:)

Taco needs to learn more moves. The coaches need to pull him aside and give me one to one training on moves. Yes Green knew it was coming.

stop posting nonsense. taco got pushed down, yes... but well after the spin move that saw him win inside for tons of penetration.
he wasn't punched mid-spin.
he needs to add other techniques for sure but he also needs to work the one legit he mas now to beat people.
winning in compete period isn't the goal,. it is getting better and winning on game days.
good talk.

Taco moving like that at his size is impressive
He'll get there.That he was shoved to the ground isn't unexpected.
And contrary to this goofy board's popular take, getting knocked down 6 yards in the backfield 2 foot from the QB's spot isn't a bad loss for a DE.
job 1 is penetration and he used a sharp punch to create space then the spin to get free 5 yards deep in the backfield.
Green is a strong dude and pushed him to the ground there but he was deep in the backfield and in a pass rush situation that's a good rep for a DE.
If we want to see good OT reps we can just watch Tyron. If a guy is 6 yards deep versus Tyron he went 10 yards outside to get there.

Let's over analyze one rep from one drill ad nauseum. Can we please start the season already?

In prosecution of Taco, he really needs to try a different move.
That spin thing he does needs to go away or at least not be is go to. He is better off with the bull rush . He needs a lot of technique work.

Just like we haven't had a cb since Deion consistently jump routes we haven't had an edge guy do a spin move consistently. I like it. At least he's trying to make the oline think about what's coming.

Not on a school night kiddies...
still half baked- rookie is growing all along in his rookie TC.
Manhandled might be equivalent at first blush but then the back ground should
upon reflection educate even those who dropped out early

Green and bell, I don't think you can/want them to fill in for more than about four games. If(say for example) you can count on pro bowl level play from Sean Lee 70% of the season on average, you can expect that level from green 30% of the season(slide the Lee percentage however you want just +\- the Green percentage as well) I think Cooper looks closer to the player he was expected to be than ever before I just hope he can stay healthy. Regardless, we know without a doubt from a few years ago that we can still do very very well with average play from the left guard and right tackle spot because of the level of play from the other three positions. Also McFadden proved himself more than adequate behind those three players.

With a decent QB, this offense can always close late if the D can keep it close. We do the methodical thing all game and when crunch time comes, our methodical yet hurry up game is impossible to beat without a turnover or possibly field goal miss. That change of pace is important for our success in tight contests.

It took at least 7 years to build this offense starting 2009 with smith. I believe we are in year 2 of the defense shift of build focus. I believe our legit, top 10% chance of getting to/winning the super bowl started last year. I believe we have a legitimate shot at the super bowl this year but may still fall short due to our very young defense. I think with one more defense oriented draft with our ever improving criteria for talent acquisition, we would be the favorite for 3-4 years.

If we continue to let guys go before their decline, and draft close to the caliber/talent level of recent years; We may be able to to effectively cycle the rookie contracts of the defense with the veteran contracts of the offense. (I have no idea the numbers so I'm going to make them up to illustrate how it can work in a very simplistic form)

Assume cap is about 250 million over/each of 5 years. Last year assume we had a 180 million dollar offense and 70 million dollar defense. We dumped a 100 million dollar QB for a rookie contract, spent that savings on high draft pick rookie defensive contracts. So assume this year we have a 155 million dollar offense and 95 million dollar defense. My guess is that if you continue with this strategy we will see a few rubber banding events that would eventually find an equilibrium (my[uneducated] guess is) ideal talent/contract value is offensive and defensive contracts around/within one fifth of each other. In the 250 million dollar cap example, ideal would be good to great value contracts with offense/defense split 140 million/110 million and then trying to operate in between that 140/110 split.

Next to be replaced by a rookie on O in a few years(due to cap+law of diminishing returns) is Dez. Their are three types of players on our team. The bottom roster players that churn to get the cream to rise to the top, the role players that inevitably sign team friendly deals, and the high dollar players that will be replaced as soon as they can get 80% of production from 20% of the money.

I'm excited for our team and fans that we seem to be a well run organization in nearly all facets. Great time to be a fan!
