The importance of good defense

Thought you meant Hughes at first.

Yeah didn’t Emmitt take like all 13 plays on a TD drive early second half?

I somehow never rewatched that game in full.

After Washington returned a fumble for a TD to tie the game, it was either the next drive or the one after that where we handed it to Emmitt on almost every play. I think there was one pass and it was a dump-off to Moose because Aikman was under pressure.

Bruce Smith really brought the pressure in this game after being held in check in the previous Super Bowl. I'm certainly not blaming the passing game struggles all on Aikman. He missed some throws but Buffalo made it uncomfortable for him in the pocket.

Mazi was a bad pick because of his skillset.

Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant are both top DTs in this draft and they have all the skills to be great DTs.

It just doesn't follow that because a failed player came from a school that other players at that position from that school are also bad. Unless you're saying the MICH only signs DTs that won't be good in the NFL, I guess.

Mazi problems could be seen on film and I don’t see how they missed it. He’s always the last guy off the snap. In college and the nfl. **** is a prime example of falling in love with measurables instead of performance

Since our wonderful GM admittedly doesn't take the time to watch game tape, not surprising.

I think Jerry drafts on rumor and hoopla. Only way to explain our drafts.

I don't think Jerry was responsible for the Mazi pick, at least not as far as choosing him. I think that's on our scouts and coaches. Now, Jerry might have agreed that we needed a huge DT, but I doubt he knew his Mazis from his Bresees. (BTW, I initially wanted Bresee but fans here kept talking bad about him.)
