So zealotry? Good word.

Love is not the word you're looking for. Obsessive maybe? Or maniacal? Yeah, let's go with that one.

Just keep repeating the same thing over and over - it's never coming true. Nor should it. Good defenses mix up coverages - and must - depending on situation, personnel groupings, etc. You show ANY NFL OC the same man coverage look over and over, they will have plays to beat it. Add in the...

Haven't played in the Yankee region since 2007 (Chesapeake now) and am a setter (most tourneys). So consider this the no smoking section.

Dude...I'm the 57 year old washed up old guy playing volleyball -- still at the BB/A level. Small world.

Agree on this aspect, he didn't even come back/fight for the ball on that one. That's a big knock on the kid. Has to show the "want it" fight.

Given this point in his development and with the other guys ahead of him no reason he can't be on a limited route tree of go routes, outs, and mid and low crossers (what he scored on vs TB) with the other guys in the read/react and complex schemes. Especially with him showing the ability to beat...

Must be why they were so comfortable just letting White go (in addition to other reasons).

Even stonewalled several blitzers. That to me was the true indicator that he's now confident and just playing instead of thinking about everything.

Wait until either the playoffs or maybe next year when they can go no huddle and speed the defense up/tire them out. Really looking forward to that.

THIS is the test for this young team. Effort, focus, and discipline. Those are the keys to THUR night crapfests. A close won game against a top team in their rearview. Everyone anointing them. Hard for them to not start thinking they can simply "show up". A 12-9 field goal battle with...

You can see it in the middle of the field. The mid and check down routes don't have two additional players (the safeties) in the mix anymore like the last two years and early this season (first 3 games). Those little 5 yard in and out routes are there almost every snap now.

From day one, it's been John Elway for me.

"Why the two orders? If you gave an order that Santiago wasn't to be touched, and your orders are always followed, then why would Santiago be in danger? Why would it be necessary to transfer him off the base?" Aggressiveness is as much a mind set and a muscle memory as it is play calls. This...

The aforementioned Boutte struggles to stand on his injured hammy to exclaim "said the same thing about me last year".

The one who snapped the ball?

Given Atlanta's Cover-3 predilection isn't that supposed to take away "quick hitters" especially in the middle of the field? The counter is the mid and deeper routes with a heavy dose of check downs. (James White says hello).

If there's too much telegraphing in that way any defense can shut it down. The RB (whichever is in there) must be able to run any play in the playbook. Including some Henderson interior runs and Jennings some outside runs. Every NFL team is good enough to stop something if they know what's coming.

Agree. Safeties and CBs cover TEs in man - you'll only see LBs on them in zone looks or at the goal line.

Not entirely. Scripts are set to exploit defensive tendencies or matchups shown in previous games. There's a coaching element and a player element. The Browns TD wasn't scheme, it was execution. I agree, the big play where Dugger was left alone last game was scheme. Both players and coaches...
