Not that I don't think he is really good, but I think the defensive scheme has always been geared towards taking away the big play from the guys outside of the hashes and to let teams do their damage with checking the ball down. Sustaining drives is much harder when only getting 4 to 5 yards a play due to drops/negative plays/pressure of 3rd down/etc. Whether we have had the linebackers to stop that from happening is a different story, but could also be a reason we have been content to go this way. They've been going after much more athletic linebackers lately so we could see the defense really transform into a dominant package. After they adjusted a little bit last year, they looked really good. Pretty excited about the defense this year. Offense just has to help out by sustaining some drives.

I think in regards to the 3 man line, the RPO is always on the table. Its about getting a team in m2m splitting everyone out and making the running back beat the one unblocked player still in the box before trying to beat a safety. If in zone or more than 3 guys sitting at the LOS, you throw the bubble screen and let those big lineman roll downfield. This stat just shows how good Andy is at diagnosing which way to go with the football.

Its nice to see these spurts. The minors look pretty good right now as well. If Cozart keeps playing this way, they might have to try and hold onto him.

Jason, trying to send a PM but I'm on hotel wifi and its running a little too slow. I'm on a business trip, but I will send you a PM this evening when I get back to my computer. Sorry. The past couple of days have been filled with travel and not much downtime.

Woo! Thanks again, Jason! Getting ready to head to the airport but will send you details this evening!

I like how no one is outraged about Jourdan Lewis from Michigan getting picked up tonight even though he tried to choke his lady out just a month ago. No video, so no one really knows about it and he's playing for the cowboys, so its just boys being boys.

Almost did backflips. Best running back in the draft. Could easily be ROY this year.

This is going to be Basham. Madieu announcing for the Vikings?

FUCK

Oh my god. We traded out.

WTF? Rams? Did we trade out?

My heart is ready.

I think this is going to happen.

This might be happening...

I want Mixon so bad, it's going to crush me tonight when we don't get him. Balance, explosion, quick twitch, would instantly become one of the best receiving running backs in the league, patient. Holy shit. He can run out of the shotgun, take any stretch play to the house, take any screen to the house, be an elite returner. Had he not any concerns, I'm not sure Fournette would have gone before Joe due to his receiving abilities. Splitting Joe out wide and putting him on a linebacker would be like watching Arian Foster and Rey Maualuga in the playoff game except it would happen every week. Arian Foster, without the soft tissue injuries, is probably a really good comparison.
