As we go through a season evaluating and discussing the work of Scott Linehan and Rod Marinelli, it is a good exercise as we go to ask ourselves to consider what they are dealing with.

In this particular case, if Houston and Ryan Fitzpatrick are coming to town, how will we handle him as a defense? For instance, how will the challenges that he offers differ from those that New Orleans brought to the table? With Houston, you see a team that has trouble doing too much offensively, despite solid WR personnel and a real good (but maybe not fully fit) RB. It seems they have a QB who is pretty pedestrian and is not a threat to use his legs...

Great stuff Bob, as usual. Appreciate this very much. Makes me want to pay more attention now as to how the defense lines up.
Especially this week, and how they may play Wilson, to contain him. Any thoughts on that?

Sturm what are you seeing from Spencer so far? Also nice job not tearing Dan's head off during that Romo debate yesterday.

Awesome read. I love how you break it down for those of us who are not defense-saavy :)

Great stuff as always.

Not to take anything away from this thread or derail it, but what were they debating?

As always, enjoy your in depth writing and analysis.

Thank you for putting it all together and sharing it with us.

Out of all the writers for the Boys, I think I only read yours all the way through without skimming.

love your articles breaking down the game Bob but wow that end paragraph was so depressing lol
without our linebackers it would seem they will march the field with beast mode then play action us when they arent to busy killing the outside with Harvin. :(
course if we get down we have to think about their defense

"It requires a full team strategy (offense, protect your defense) to keep this ship sailing."

If anyone (I'm talking to you, among others, Peter King) wants to properly understand the significance of the improved running game in dictating this team's fortunes, Bob's done you the courtesy of reducing it to a four-word parenthetical. How long does it take to read four words? Maybe one-tenth of a second? Now even the lazy have no excuse for suggesting that Murray is saving us from Romo.
