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

Booch Posted Friday at 08:04 PM Report Posted Friday at 08:04 PM 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 GCJenks and Stickem 2
bearpants Posted Friday at 08:06 PM Report Posted Friday at 08:06 PM 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, WildPath, rebusrankin and 1 other 3 1

blue85gold Posted Friday at 08:18 PM Report Posted Friday at 08:18 PM 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) rebusrankin, Piggy 1 and captaincanuck12 2 1

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. BigBlueFanatic, K-Shack, rebusrankin and 1 other 4

captaincanuck12 Posted Friday at 08:55 PM Report Posted Friday at 08:55 PM 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.

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 Friday at 09:23 PM Report Posted Friday at 09:23 PM 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

bustamente Posted Friday at 09:35 PM Report Posted Friday at 09:35 PM 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. Super Duper Negatron and Noeller 2
