I like to see what mathis can do now that dwight is no longer here to demand double teams.

Mathis has had his share of double teams. And if they double team Mathis, who's gonna stop Chapman? If they double team Chapman, who's gonna stop Redding? If they stop Redding, who's gonna stop Walden?

You only get 5 offensive lineman. Someone has to play one on one

history has shown when mathis is getting all the attention, hes not as effective. guys like werner and walden are gonna have to beat their man and take the pressure off of mathis

I sort of get what you are saying, but Mathis had a nice year last year while DFree was out/ineffective...hence, he still performed while receiving the majority of attention. I think being at OLB instead of DE actually helped in this regard (in years past under the old scheme he did struggle).

 

Oh, and OT, that facemask is gnarly...love it RM!

And they will. Redding did well with drawing doubles last year. Like I said, you only get 5 offensive linemen

look at the super bowl in 09. look at the 07 playoff game vs the chargers

2 games? And after a rough start, the Saints went 3 step drop quick pass...there really wasn't much Mathis could do.

I asked because somebody made the claim a couple years ago that Mathis' numbers were the same if Freeney was playing or not.

      Latu hurt ?!

      By jbaron04 · Posted

      That’s not true i watched both games and latu is getting a lot of attention for offenses. Gus only got him playing 20-30% of snaps we all know how bad Gus is at playing players ala facyson over Rodgers when we all knew who should be playing. Gus is just not creative on defense like I’m watching the Texans game thinking why don’t he move latu around like other teams do with good rushers nope let’s have him go against tunsil all game

      Bro we've been getting the ball ran down our throats. Latu had a nice TFL on a run play I saw yesterday. I remember that.

      It will never happen, but...

      Bro I don’t get people man …. Like our expectations is 1 year to fast. We knew Richardson needed time to develop and we would see flashes of amazing stuff and bad stuff. Like we knew his accuracy was a work in progress it takes time. ( doesn’t help when wr drop the balls and quit on routes) if this play would have been last year fans would have been fine. Like this is his rookie year basically and they putting the team on his back exactly what we knew would couldn’t do. Like lean on JT and grind out games. The defense brining back all 11 starters and being this bad Gus has to go. This is why I don’t resign guys early

      I think Hull should be #2 to be honest. He can run and he's got a good set of hands.

      College Football 2024, surprise playoff teams

      By holeymoley99 · Posted

      Indiana -3 Ucla was my top pick of the week and earned me some nice spending money. Rourke was surgical making every right decision, he may be better than his brother who is in the NFL. UCLA cant score so they weren't challenged. We will find out this weekend if Rutgers is as good as I think they are as they go to Va Tech who seems to have righted themselves. Monangai is a beast running the ball and doesnt seem to tire as the game goes on.
