    2019 Linebacker discussion

    This. The reasons for substantial roster expansion are growing and adding more jobs should be priority one for the union until it happens. Ownership has plenty of reasons to want it themselves.

    Playing down to weaker opponents.

    Thanks for starting this topic. It is a real thing and has actually cost games. It's a result of coaching philosophy, caring too much about "how" the team wins or loses. Pete wants wins over truly lesser opponents especially to be a simple show of superiority, so he's even less willing than...

    Playing down to weaker opponents.

    What does this even mean?

    What are you strongest disagreements with popular opinions?

    I can't agree with any of that. KC was the only win in the last 2 years that I could consider even close to a result exceeding roster talent, while I can say the reverse about a few losses. You tout the strong defensive performance, but those don't happen consistently with holes at literally...

    DE Draft Prospect Rankings by CBS

    I sure am not eager to trade down and settle at DE this year.

    The 2020 Recruiting thread

    With the obvious difference being that Bellevue is a public school, where recruiting isn't supposed to happen.

    What are you strongest disagreements with popular opinions?

    Mine start with disagreeing about last season. Making the playoffs was absolutely NOT overachieving; I truly felt that the team should have done better. There was reason to expect a slow start with the changes (really Cable was the only one that needed to happen), but slow starts were already...

    Top position needs heading into 2019 draft

    I'm not of the mind that the low number of picks is a problem, or at least that there's any benefit this year to adding anything in R6/R7 (what you could add with small tradedowns). This team is loaded right now with young guys drafted or UDFA recently and volume isn't the way to help right now...

    It's not often I get so close to puking based solely on the pure stupidity of a comment.

    WHAT were they thinking, burning that last timeout?

    This tells me it was a procedural "mistake" by the officials and it pisses me off.

    Rams vs Seahawks

    The problem was that the timeout wasn't taken immediately after the 3rd down play, before the measurement. Literally no reason to wait in that situation.

    [The Athletic] Wilson's Six Sacks, Week 2 Edition

    How is that an addition? Just busting your balls a bit there. I think he's giving Russ a bit too much credit and the protection too much blame (though Ifedi's set is too deep and punch too passive). Are we really supposed to believe it's reasonable for him to be surprised when a blitz prevents a...

    Pete or Holmgren

    The most frustrating thing about last night

    I sure remember being pretty frustrated by continually hearing "we're close" from Holmgren.

    Fieldgulls: Justin Britt's excellent performance vs. DEN

    I don't disagree with the overall sentiment of the article, but I really disagree with his read on the hurdle run. It's pretty clearly (unless I'm wrong) designed to be a run up the middle, off the butt of Dissly's block. Britt's contact with the slanting lineman is incidental, not by design nor...
