No Niemann, No Hitchens, No Sorenson, No Badger. Flushed those turds and now we can stop 3rd down. Incredible!

You can't lump HB in with those clowns. Cmon

I think Mathieu got injured worse than is known sometime early in the season last year. He didn't play like himself through '21 even a little after the first few games.

Maybe the contract was on his mind and he was playing to avoid injury?

Seemed to me like he lost his will. Bet the Saints cut his ass after this year.

Another dumbass take

Do you think HB was playing at the same level as Sorensen or Niemann? He was off, he wasn't a guy immediately and frequently targeted.

I guess the rest of the NFL GMs are clowns too.

Salaries
Mathieu 3-years 33 million. 18M GTD
Niemann 1yr 1M
Hitchens So bad he couldn't get a team to sign him
Sorenson 2Yr, 930k contract

Yeah. These guys are all the same.

Five defensive linemen hit Herbert on Thursday.

FIVE.

We are going to murder some teams this year. Matt Ryan can't move, and I expect blood.

I can’t wait to play the Bengals

How many hits before 2 of their starting OL went out with injury?

Who gives a shit? When they're all healthy, that's a top notch OL.

We're not going to be facing OLs like that all year or even all that often.

I think we picked a really good time to have spags. His specialty has always been DBs at a time when WRs are king. His scheme may have been a little out of place as teams adapted to the spread but it seems to have gone back to more of Jim Johnson roots.

What I think we’ve discovered is that we can spend all our money in a front 4. Like Philly we can keep churning and burning quality LBs. At DB we bring the best young, cheap talent available knowing spags can coach them up. That’s why we started to pass on guys like honey badger and ward. For the time being this all seems to work.

Funny how the league adapts. Defenses became so obsessed with stopping athletic qbs that they targeted running QBs. Then guys like Herbert and burrow emerged and it seems like the league has been more focused on constant pressure, while more mobile qbs seem to be thriving so far. It’s crazy to see how much burrow has regressed from last year as schemes adapted to him. Mahomes and Allen are more of the unicorns that can both pass and move.
