MM doesn't generally do much blitzing, he did last week which was interesting
Hopefully the incredible success will lead him to do more of it. I can't believe Lawrence won DPOW over Knight. Two strip sacks resulting in fumbles are massively bigger than just picking a perfectly bouncing football up and just jogging into the endzone. It was great he was in the back field but more right place at the right time.
There are trade-offs, you leave yourself open to get burned if you try it too much. That they have maintained so much pressure without blitzing is what's crazy. I'll leave it to MM how much to dial them up
So you aren't going to text him and tell him to blitz more? lol

He didn't like how my Milroe pitch idea worked out, I think he blocked me

This is who we could have taken instead of Milroe. Don't know any of these guys. Maybe the fantasy guys do?

:lol:

hahah - that's hilarious! It's going to be really interesting how the seattle offense approaches this game - with Olu back in, elevating the run game, this could be a very vanilla offense based on running and play action - which could be very effective - while taking pressure of Darnold. I would imagine the Lambs d strategy is to 'pressure' darnold, but if Seattle minimizes those opportunities... could elevate his confidence even more, and open up deep threats as the lambs crowd the line.

I have no issue with teh Milroe pick - it still has plenty of time to pay off. Or not. It was a smart pick - we didn't know what Darnold would do.

Jared Wilson was moved to Guard and has a PFF rating of 46. 70th of 79 Guards

Caleb Rodgers Not enough snaps

Charles Grant Has played one snap

So Raiders took two OTs back to back in the 3rd round and they have 1 snap combined this season. :lol: :lol: :lol: More gum chewing. lol

Savion Jones has barely played too.

Looks like we didn't miss out on much because we took Milroe.

Rams are 9th in run D and 17th in Passing D.

Looks like the Lambs are getting a lot of that D. Not that there's anything wrong with that :P

The thing about Milroe is (to quote Moneyball), if he's such a good quarterback than how come he doesn't throw good? His stats at Alabama were pedestrian, just like Jake Locker's yet Tennessee thought he'd be their franchise guy.

Tebow as well. If you can't throw you can't be an NFL QB. Pretty simple.
