Skins vs. Cards, Pre-Season week 4 Gameday thread

I know this is going to be an overly optimistic, Koolaid filled post, but here it goes. When you are first learning anything new, you go slower, you think through what you are doing, you catch little habits and force through them. As you go better you get faster.

So, i choose to see it as yesterday AH was being very deliberate in playing with the fundamentals of this 3-4 D. He may have got pushed back once or twice, but he also played the space eater role very carefully and very well, he didn't try to go around or be "the guy", he opened holes for Henson et al. If it was his intention to deliberately play the style that this D calls for him to play, then he did it well. I never saw him huffing, or taking a knee, he simply went out and played the role he was asked to play.

Now if he can do that at full speed, and at the level of his known talent, MS may just have created a monster!

Sorry, I drank all the koolaid, you all will have to find your own

I could and do agree 100% with this. Great observation, BTW got my own 10 gallon jug of the Skinz aid here in the south. It's real special... in my best imitation southern accent...

Can't get on AH for last night at all. THe D performed fine til the end of the 3rd quarter when Max Hall started to shred our scrub Dbs. One thing is for sure, our depth in the defensive backfield is very suspect. The Card Wrs were wide open, and I mean wide. Even I could have made some nice completions. Next year's draft we need to focus on DBs and maybe another LB, after we continue to shore up the O line of course.

Westbrook got torched on multiple occasions. Tryon played fairly well not great but was around the ball a good bit.

I would like to see us keep Hall, Rodgers, Buchannon, Tryon, and I guess Barnes and leave it at that for now.

With Barnes physicality it would have been nice to see him get a shot at switching to FS.

I guess from what I have seen as some peoples prediction as to our 53 man roster it seems as though the consensus is to keep 5 safties to start the year because of Moores injury. Having a guy who can play both FS and CB would be a nice luxury to have right now to not have to wast a roster spot on 5 safeties.
