Huge bounce back week from Wagner, especially since Norton decided to actually use him. Are we still trying to trade this guy?

The greatest to ever play LB for us.

I feel bad for him that he has to play under Norton as his DC but even so, he is such a phenomenal player that he can excel despite that - given the opportunities.

A lot of us fans have been clamoring if not pleading for them to blitz Wagner, because his tremendously physical nature is not leveraged if he is out in coverage. It was nice to see them finally start using him more effectively.

Hoping it continues.

But you don't shed great LBs as they age, you turn them into pass rushers. Look at how SD used Seau as an example.

Let Wags Cook!

Always been a beast, is still a beast and will continue to be a beast.

5-5
Trade Wags
Fire Pete and John

I didn't see all the games this weekend but it seems this is well deserved.

 

[Jerhawk]

Trade him.

Jk. He played great and hopefully the team continues to use him in pass rushing situations where he's nearly unblockable

I overheard somewhere that they blitzed Bobby 20 times against SF. :shock:

I hope they stay blitz heavy as a team going forward.

obviously, that will depend on game situations and what personnel we get back on the field in support.

Josh Allen is easily rattled. We need to blitz like crazy on the first few drives, even if we give them some yardage.

Agreed, comfortable QB = no bueno.

Pete, won't allow a Kyler Murray situation to happen again for the rest of the season. Pete will jump on the headset and tell Ken to heat 'em up.
