lol, "Area 29"

Earl Thomas Calls his Zone of the field "Area 29" That is AMAZING.

I like his reply to the "Gore run". I think our defense just got a little more prepared for the playoffs.

 

[uncle fester]

Absolutely.

I liked what I read. It was a whole new concept that I dont think was ever imagined. On the punt returns and such, yes. But not as a basis for normal run plays. I like what PC has done for our team.

Area 29. This begs for an alien/UFO/EThomas-related wallpaper. :2: :16:

Area 29, awesome!

One thing I have to ask, how common (or uncommon rather) is it for a FS or even a SS to get receivers seeking them out in the run blocking game while in the third level. I've never seen that before myself at any level of football.

It's almost respecting him so much in the run game as to treat him as a LB and a primary blocking target. That's insane to me, especially given Thomas' problems in tackling and his reckless nature at times in tackling plus he's small. I can see trying to deal with him in the passing game but running? Am I missing something here?

Where does Bruce Irvin cover?

 

[jblaze]

I was thinking the same thing, he should switch with Irvin and cover Area 51!!! That's marketing genius!!!

 

[dunceface]

dude I want an area 29 t shirt!!!!

Yessir!

I would have assumed that most teams put WRs on free safeties more often during run plays. An O hasn't played us like that since, Carolina. Amazing.

If I had Boldin on my offense, definitely would have taken this approach.
