    Dissly

    Sucks about Dissly, he will be back though. I think a lot of people are unfairly judging Willson based on his time here previously with the team. He is a different player now. Tougher, more willing to block and better at it. I still think his hands are a bit suspect randomly, but I think he is...

    Short Observations

    There is a lot of flak being directed at the defense for this game, and I am not sure why. They played pretty well, and if you're equating the overall score to their performance, you need to re-watch the game. IMO, they played better than the past 2 weeks, but the same problems that existed...

    Which is our biggest Achilles Heel this year?

    In the O-lines defense though - once we switched to actually utilize the short passing game correctly to make the defense respect it - they did pretty well. It's not their fault that it takes us an entire half to adjust to our QB getting pummeled vs what takes other teams 2 offensive drives to...

    Penny 37 yard TD run

    I don't really think this game changes anything about the debate that surrounds Penny. My personal option at least remains unchanged. Penny has the talent to be special, however it is not showing early enough IMO to warrant the draft capital they have spent on him. This might change, and I will...

    Linebacker Play

    Bobby is probably one of the best defensive players that has or will ever play for the Hawks. That said really the only weakness he ever displays is coverage and getting off blocks on occasion, and that typically shows early in the year. I think he will be back to his game wrecking self in a few...

    Which is our biggest Achilles Heel this year?

    I think you're right that at the moment the secondary seems to be the biggest weakness - but PC is too much of a magician with the secondary for me to be all that worried about it over the year. I've seen him pull together league average performances from worse players, so I highly doubt we...

    Wilson: $26m this year, 204 total yards.

    I think Wilson deserves every penny of his contract, however from a money ball perspective I don't think we were the right team to pay it. In Carrol's scheme it makes way more sense to pay for elite lineman on both sides of the ball. If your looking at statistically the positions that would make...

    Prevent D

    To a point, however. If you need more pressure on the QB (as we currently do) than what your front four can provide, and you send blitzing support, you have to scheme around that lack of support in the backfield that you no longer have. Sometimes I think Pete doesn't properly account for that...

    It's Time to Dispel the Myth

    I'm pretty sure we can all argue which stats mean what and pull stats out of our rear ends to prove whatever point we are trying to make until the cows come home. I'm not saying Carrol hasn't been a large reason for our success over the years. The general spirit behind my post is that it is...

    Next up Pittsburgh Steelers

    I only care about one thing. We tackle big ben. There are not many things in life that get me as irate as missing tackles on Ben. I'm a very calm person generally, but grown men bouncing off Roethlisberger like hes coated in butter makes me break tv remotes.

    It's Time to Dispel the Myth

    Gotcha. Yeah I definitely am not one to sing the praises of Schotty any time soon. I view him as a fairly average coordinator until he produces some statistically better seasons in a row. I just think he has shown he at least has the capacity to call different style plays, the strict adherence...

    It's Time to Dispel the Myth

    I'm not really sure what I am supposed to gain from your post, from the article you posted it directly contradicts what you wrote. He has definitely done many things. Otherwise there would be no history to judge. That is the definition of having a history. I am confused.

    It's Time to Dispel the Myth

    I don't really think teams have ever really needed to "figure out" what we were doing as far as the run game. Our running scheme has always been pretty straightforward - it's mainly a question of which teams have the personnel to match up, and how much we shoot ourselves in the foot while trying...

    It's Time to Dispel the Myth

    He has run some pretty pass heavy schemes. Which was part of the problem he had historically because he had some pretty crappy QB's that gave them that many more opportunities to throw INT's.

    Wilson's Speed/Quickness Yesterday

    I would say Wilson looks about as fast as he has over the last 2-3 years. I noticed a speed/quickness fall off around year 5 but he's seemed pretty consistent since then. I would say he looked less decisive than he did compared to the end of last year, but at the same time looks about as...

    Prevent D

    I agree that this is the style of D that PC runs and for the most parts works pretty well. However I think this year we have some deficiencies that SHOULD be schemed around but unfortunately I don't think they will be. Although we have Clowney now, our pass rush as a unit is still very...

    It's Time to Dispel the Myth

    Except it has been proven that deficiencies can be schemed around/covered up. Prime example of this is actually as easy as looking at the Bengals o-line. We loaded up to stop the run, kept 3 linebackers on the field, and they have a terrible mash up of left over offensive lineman. They adapted...

    It's Time to Dispel the Myth

    I'm honestly not really looking for anything specific to be done on each of the play sequences or such. I just want plays that are even SLIGHTLY more reactionary to what the defense is presenting. If the defense in loading the box each play, lets not run an interior zone read into that... like...

    Are We Losing Our Voice?

    I also agree this has been becoming a trend. For me I started noticing teams being better prepared for it starting a year or two ago when there was a lot of press about the back and forth decibel level record between us and the Chiefs stadium. Unfortunately all that attention I think made a...
