amen

Moore gets open, and he STAYS open. I watched a bunch of Carolina film, and Moore would be just sitting there waiting for the QB to notice him. IF Fields has a problem making late reads, that particular skill by Moore will cover for a lot of it. And if not, then watch out. Like you said, someone is going to be open.

on about half the snaps he looked slow off the ball, but MUCH faster than last years 2 gap film. Hopefully he continues to improve. i know there are brain training machines that can improve this. As for pad level, he's really gonna have to take that coaching. hes so strong, and he will be even stronger when he learns his leverage.

DJ has incredible spacing skills - youll see it in his routes too. He just knows where everyone is going to be a second in the future. Its not about pure speed - but reading holes in the spacing. Mike Brown had the same skill, albeit in reverse (closing holes on defense)

yup - every player is a multiplier. at some point, you just cant defend everything - then it comes down to playcalling and rhythm. get that right and you go far. I hope we dont lose Getsy a year early.

hahaha IF this helps, he simultaneously released this video on YouTube too. Pretty funny.

Amen!

There was a cutup from practice where Eberflus was reminding Velus, who was having trouble remembering it, that the ball drifts (or spins Im not sure which he was talking about) right off of a right footed kicker and left off of a left footed kicker. How do you get to this point in your career and still not be able to remember that? VJ can go play Madden with Mustipher.

One thing you can really see from DJ Moore on that screen is he is a genius when it comes to spacing. i saw it on the film from Carolina too - he finds the perfect spacing against zone defenses. Think of all the WR screens we've seen fail over the years (looking at you Gary Crowton) Getsy get it when it comes to screens. And screens will compliment our zone running scheme, and Fields' running. Great to see.

thanks guys

do they show the entire game in real time on NFL+ Premium?

in the long term, yes. I think they hoped that Dexter would eventually be their 3T, but also thought hed get snaps at NT until he was ready. I think he is developing fast, and so they signed Roy to backup at NT now that Dexter is going to be pushing to start at 3T.

I think they thought Dexter would play NT this year and get reps at 3T and grow. If hes showing faster, then he will go to 3T, which is why I think we claimed Bravvion Roy - to add bodies at NT. It also makes sense that Pickens will get reps at NT, and of course, Bell will only be at 3T, he's not really a nose. One wonders how long Justin Jones will hold Dexter off as the starter. On the other hand, Billings is going to be there at NT for a while, especially without Dexter to push him.

Wright is gonna end up in the Hall Of Fame. You can see it on film. He's not just an impressive specimen, he's a hell of a football player.

right. hes not in our long term plans, but he can give enough that the secondary can grow this year.

He might even play in 2 TE sets, especially on running plays (or play action)

We probably have a top 3 LB group. Maybe even #1. Billings and Dexter should be really good in the middle. It isnt so important that Ngakoue get sacks, he just needs to eliminate plays where the QB has 5 seconds of unmolested time. Given a shorter passing clock, the coverage should show what they can do, and I think they are a top 10 unit, especially with Edmunds roving the deep middle. Give 'em time to grow into NFL players, and add a few more names in next years draft and this is a very solid roster for the foreseeable future. We should see flashes of it this year. If they grow by December, who knows who they'll be, but before that, we will see spurts and mistakes - just like Kyler Gordon during the first half of last years' season. There is a lot to be optimistic about.

Interesting @ every down player. I do think this will make a big difference in wins, and especially in evaluating the coverage. I still think we are a 7 to 10 win team.

hes top 5 of the remaining free agents. not of the entire offseason. he can help us, but he's probably not a 3 down starter

nice

I'm reading this to mean that some other trade option didnt materialize. Which makes sense. Anyone worth trading for, is probably not worth the price right now. It looks like we got a decent price, for a one year fill-in. He will be good in situational pass rushing. He will probably be, as a missing piece, worth a couple of wins for us this season. He will give the coverage guys the opportunity to show what theyve got and build chemistry. And I agree with what Mongo says right above me too.

ha! good point!

Good ones AZ

Insurance against a BIllings injury, or Dexter looks so good at 3T that we need a rotational player at NT.

Hell yeah. There are specimens, and then there are football players. We got a GM who understands that. This team is going to be fun to watch going forward, hopefully for many year. We may have stronger years and in-between years, but we should be the kind of team that always gives you a fight.
