Yeah

we really need a score here.

D played decent in the 1st half. Don’t think they can keep it up if we don’t hold onto the ball

been the chorus all season – D actually playing pretty decent but our offense won’t take some time off the clock.

TOP

is disturbing. So is 145 pass yards, but at the same time Ryan has been far better than he should be under pressure. We need to start converting 3rd downs instead of running some misdirection abortions. We need to stop them on 3rd downs. We’re OK though. Get rested up and come out with a long drive to start.

by poorboywilly on Nov 16, 2008 12:31 PM MST reply actions  

I gotta be honest,

Im so sick of hearing how you can plug any RB into our system and he will
kill it for us, Can you guys imagine having a back like Turner runnin for Denver.
Thats the type of back thats needed

by Tdrizz3 on Nov 16, 2008 12:31 PM MST reply actions  

First thing is first

we need a back who isn’t an injury risk. Next we can focus on a really good one.

Ryan

I keep hearing you guys talk about how he’s better than he should be under pressure, but you need to understand that he’s been doing this all year long. I know he’s a rookie, but he’s got a lot of poise.

First we'd have to pressue him to see how he does under pressure!

The ONE time we blitzed him he threw a pass that should have been an INT but since it was Bly it went for a big gain.

I used to love bringing the blitz on the goaline (going for the safety).

Other teams knew it was coming, but if you could read the quick pass options you could drop one safety and play a couple of guys in man and charge in. We did pretty good scoring safeties.

On the other hand, you sure get burned if it doesn’t work.
