Re: Hybrid Offense ~ 2007 & 2011 Merge, Forming "Some Terrifying Mutant Combination!!
Okay, the OTG doth protest too much, methinks.
Come on, you just
said you were in theatre!

For the record I love the pure joyful excess of the OP.... but that said, if we've learned one thing, it's that you can have four blissful months of unstoppable trumped by a helmet catch or a salsa-ing rookie, or a gronked ankle in the super bowl.
By that measure we've been unstoppable
enough (off and on) for years. We just haven't been champions enough.
But these are late season thoughts, not early season thoughts... for now, over the top it is.
So that said, why stop at how the offense looks like it might do... how about the defense, if we consider the Tennessee Titans to be the test that defines them?
I want to nickname Jones and Hightower something like Thing 1 and Thing 2, or Necessary and Sufficient, or maybe just rename the whole defense The Hurt Locker. If we win another game can I go with that?
Don't let my old-dude cynicism even remotely drag you down though OTG... the whole
point of being a fan is being "fanatic." And you have to admit, on paper, The Hybrid is "some terrifying mutant combination." I just can't stand the idea that it'll end up being an old prius once February comes around.
Any chance you can wave an adjective or two at the offensive line and put some of those fears to rest?
Ah, my entire
quiver of adjectives would I happily let fly, if only had I the belief that such an act
could fortify the resolve ~ and the anchoring skills ~ of our Offensive Line!! Alas!!
Yes, the only
substantial area of concern for me ~ outside of the Black Hole that I perceive behind Brady on the old QB Depth Chart ~ is our
horrifyingly thin Depth of Talent at O Line.
Indeed, it is
so wafer-thin that I was prepared to say "OK, I guess I really
don't want to meet the Giants in The Depths of Winter, spoiling though I
am for Revenge: the Matchup of
NasCar 1 versus our
hideously thin O Line
Depth of Talent is
too perfect a match up for our Most Worthy Foe..."
...And then I considered...our
Defense.
It's been so long since I could say this that the words sound
strange to me, even in my own mind...especially in light of
last year's performance...But this Defense is so loaded with heavily talented and intelligent young Dogs who're reaching the Acceleration Point of their young careers, and so loaded with Impact Rookies, so loaded, in fact, with talented young Ballers who seem to be entering that
Quickening phase of their careers where it all slows down for them...and, above all, we seem to be so
rich with young guys who truly
get it ~ Synergy, TeamWork, and how much more 11 guys working together can do than 11 guys working
alone ~ than I believe that a Quantum Leap from the bottom of the league to its
top...is not only in the offing, but
is happening in front of our very eyes.
I guess I'd better post this little
eruption of mine on the D Thread,
oughtn't I??
God HELP the Cardinals Offense, today.
I presume nothing, of course...But I just don't think those poor Bastards have a
chance.
