I get it, that’s why I said, “might.” They haven’t played anybody, and this weekend they’re still not playing anybody. But they play us in a couple weeks and then we’ll see how much they unfucked themselves I guess.
And I doubt they’re going to get far in the playoffs, if they even make it that far, throwing just 15 times a game.
Just saying they don’t look like a band of monkeys trying to fuck a football, the way they did the last few seasons.
And it occurred to me that one way to avoid getting stymied by the 2-high shell is just have a massive OL and a couple good RBs, and just run it 30+ times. At 10 yds a clip no less.
I mean, just how many really good run defenses are there in the league right now anyway? Not very many imo.

The matchup between TJ and Joe Alt will be the one to watch, obviously. Rookie RT Joe Alt (6'8" 322-lbs.) through his first 126 snaps, has committed zero penalties, allowed only a single sack on 54 passing plays, and surrendered just two pressures. So we know he basically stoned Maxx Crosby.

While yeah, protecting your multi million dollar quarterback is essential. But they could have had Nabers.
