Spot on. If they do manage to curtail our run, or have some success early, we've shown (so far) we can tear poor coverage apart in the passing game. They won't be able to stop both, unless they do heavily disguise blitzes and coverage looks, try to get to Lamar's head. My main concern is their...

I will take your word for it (Cards D vs Lions). I only skipped thru that game on Gamepass one time and didn't have time to analyze it properly. But I will certainly get time to watch their D versus our (dare I say) now vaunted O, and see what they did.

https://arizonasports.com/story/1832980/cardinals-dc-vance-joseph-3-4-defense-nick-bosa/ This article is a nice little introduction to Cardinals' DC Vance Joseph's defensive blueprint. They changed to a 3-4 so they could be more aggressive, confuse the QB who are the extra rushers, as opposed...

The Cards went 10 personnel %70 of the time, which is astronomical. In 2018, the Steelers used that set the most in the league at only %9. We were average against 11 personnel against Miami. Can see the Cards putting up some points if they go 10 from the get go. Fitzpatrick had like a 105...

Yep, that will be the thing to take from this game....how our OL and Lamar stack up against a good D who has blitzing skills.

I think we will win. But this is a little bit of a danger game. 1. We had our way with the Dolphins so much it can make us complacent, mental errors, lazy turnovers/tackles. So what could be a 35-17 win, could end up a 27-24 win. Just like the Lions, went up big early and sat back, played it...

I said when he was drafted that Jared Goff would win 2 super bowls before his career came to a close. Last year seemed a good time, but they weren't playoff-hardened. So this year has to be his first one....I can't guess when his second could come. There are a lot of plausible "storylines" in...

Good article here, using a tailored statistical method to compare how wasteful or not coaches are at calling "early timeouts". Eg, everyone assumes Andy Reid is bad at clock management, wasting early timeouts instead of saving them, but this study shows Reid uses these early timeouts to...

He also mentions at the end.....a successful ypc for running the ball is about 5. While USUAL ypa for passing is around 8+. So why bother running, if you're going to average far more passing. Hence, "it's a passing league now" philosophy.

there are four from each side of the coin, sure some play each other.

Anyway.....nothing really matters. Every team wins in different ways. For some teams running the ball does matter for some it doesn't. There are always going to be an array of tactics and philosophies to football and how to win. Just tried proposing a theory is all.

I touched on many points in the OP, it wasn't about 5 QBs. It was about more a trend of rookie QB and spending more on D. And then extrapolating that to a run-based QB approach that we were specifically doing, could start a new trend if we were successful with it....and how that might lead one...

The Ravens weren't a 5 QB roster either tho. I didn't mean to imply that. But "what if'ing" that concept as another means of tactic teams might try to employ if there was success with a run-based approach to a QB. Because you'd need more than one due to greater injury risk.

How so? It's still an NFL economic roster theory going around. Window to win a SB is open while you have a franchise QB on a rookie contract and more money invested in the greater roster around them.

Rivers, Brees, Brady, and Luck, vs 4 teams on rookie QB contracts. Might be an interesting barometer of things to come...

Interesting....

From an article on The Athletic.... "Afforded a second look at film of the Ravens in three weeks, Chargers defenders saw that Baltimore’s offense, though complex, seemed to change little week to week. They solved parts of it and picked up clues, like left tackle Ronnie Stanley’s feet. When...

Conservative coaching. No adjustments until the last 5 mins. Our D and ST had shifted momentum back our way, we had a chance to go 7-12 down and then 14-12 up, but ended up 3-12 down with 8 mins left in the 3rd and Chargers a good chance to go up 20-3 which they did, and we had just one Qtr to...
