JCon Posted November 8 Report Posted November 8 2 minutes ago, BomberBall. said: I could be wrong, but I feel like you got the response you were hoping for. Why does it matter how many of his tackles were catching the ball carrier from behind? Adams is a solid contributor on a D line that needs his skill set. Do you not think he should be in the lineup? Maybe, but there's not much of a drop-off if he's not. We didn't get pressure all year, even with Adams in. So, why the hyperventilating each week? bb1 and Noeller 2

Fair point, weird year for sacks totals league wide. But if you need to compare him to JT to make his stats pop, well..... Edited November 8 by Pepper_Brooks
Booch Posted November 8 Report Posted November 8 Just now, GCJenks said: I am pretty sure one had the QB chased into his arms and basically he got tackled by the QB and got credit for the sack and the other was also a QB pursued into his reach. yup...was gonna mention that...he after being tied up..spun backwards and when finally got his bearings had a QB flushed right into his waiting gut....solid contribution....and on the PPF score sheet he would have got high grades for that...as the other DT busted pocket and the ends turned the qb up to climb the pocket and escape...but get zero credit Stickem and GCJenks 2
bearpants Posted November 8 Report Posted November 8 Getting pressure was my biggest concern going into this game... needless to say it is amplified now... I expect Harris to have a lot of time in the pocket... hopefully we have something up our sleeve to mitigate this... Bigblue204, HardCoreBlue, WildPath and 1 other 3 1

Need to make that O one dimensional. 6 DL isn't gonna cut it imo. Saying that....I've been wrong about most of my worries pretty well all season so why stop now!!!! blue85gold 1

blue85gold Posted November 8 Report Posted November 8 Getting pressure on Harris is tough at the best of times because he gets the ball out so quick. We had what we thought was the best Dline rostered last game against Mtl and they didn't generate any pressure it is all moot. Agree with a few posters above that my biggest worry with the Dline is against the run. They have been susceptible to big runs all year and Armstead is dangerous. Oulette hasn't been great this year but can explode at times. (Nightmare flashbacks to the 2003 playoffs and Kenton Keith) Piggy 1, captaincanuck12 and rebusrankin 2 1

So, why the hyperventilating each week? I don’t think anyone is saying Adams is the player to save our pressure problems, but he has 4 sacks, playing mainly as a DT, and limited snaps. Our D line is weaker without him and we’re only dressing 6. And one of them is Thomas. That’s a problem. Bigblue204, K-Shack, BigBlueFanatic and 1 other 4

captaincanuck12 Posted November 8 Report Posted November 8 Well at this point its pointless to argue who's stats are better and who should be on or off the field. Not a Thomas fan at all and really hope he is limited in reps. Bottom line is that these boys better be ready to play and make a statement in our barn. Get the W and make it 5 straight cup appearances. Pepper_Brooks and Bigblue204 2

At least we can all agree here on MBB when everything is all said and done about our team's (Coach, Players etc) flaws is that the Riders will for ever and ever suck, amen.

Booch Posted November 8 Report Posted November 8 it's not so much who is better than who...tho Thomas is by far our worst dlineman...Schmeck right with him...It's more a matter of we are dressing only 6....2 of whom are sub par at best. Playoff football....more conducive for running....and where we are playing a QB who thrives with time in pocket, and if he can get a run game going with it....lord help us.....and we roster arguably our weakest dline rotation of the yr...by far. I just dont see the logic...reasoning....or decision behind it Zach Schnitzer 1
Mike Posted November 8 Report Posted November 8 If we lose tomorrow and the script looks like ineffective DL play and or lacklustre work from Kyrie, it should (but won’t) cost O’Shea his job. Noeller, Booch, rebusrankin and 4 others 1 1 2 3

bustamente Posted November 8 Report Posted November 8 If the Bombers plan is to rush 3 with some kind of blitz packages we may have some major problems, yes we have a pretty good group of db's but they can't cover forever. Noeller and Super Duper Negatron 2
rebusrankin Posted November 8 Report Posted November 8 6 DL with 2 being subpar is frustrating. Walters needs to not bring some guys back next year to save MOS from his worst tendencies. BigBlueFanatic 1

Yup DB's can't cover for ever. Best case scenario is maybe we hear 'coverage sack'. I'll take that. Noeller 1
