CB Dee Milliner ruled out for Jets. Projected Wk 1 starters Antonio Allen & Darren Walls have 4 combined career starts at CB entering 2014.

Shorts left practice yesterday for the Fighting Gatas, if he cant go they will only have 4 WRs and 3 of those would be rookies.

The ILBs are seriously awful and the scheme, coaching, and talent prevents them from ever improving.
Jones and Hawk are never near the ball when they need to be which is the opposite of Seattle. They're aggressive, physical, and smart. They know how to tackle and aren't afraid to stick their nose in it. This defense plays contain and live to fight another down so maybe their CBs can get picks. When they pound the rock all day because your DL is getting mauled, that plan is woefully ineffective.
It's really frustrating.

Damn, I need to get back to Baltimore so I can pay homage to Ray Lewis at his new shrine.

How does one pay homage to Ray? Do you stab an innocent person in front of his statue.

I see Ray farts fire from hell.
They weren't division contenders last season and the Josh Gordon had a career season. Now their QB situation is somehow worse.

The Steelers have been having similar issues stopping the run because of 11 personnel/dime/nickel packages. Not enough studs up front to keep the linemen off of the ILB's. Not surprising it's affecting Capers as well as LeBeau. I didn't study the game yesterday, heck, I barely watched half of it, so I could be completely off base, here.
This series of posts is funny in retrospect, after Seattle stomped them last night.

Martin should be a fairly serviceable RT. He isn't cut out for LT and you probably don't want him starting at all but he's not too bad.
The Jets. Wow.
It reminds me of this:
Innocent ones, of course.
it's missing dallas letting a dui murderer back on the team that week

No, that's exactly it. Pack played nickel/dime for probably 90% of the game, got ran all over.
it's like 90 here - I'll take some
It's fucking boiling here, so we'll take it in North Cackalacky.
The closer it gets to Sunday the more worried I get that the Titans will actually win. =(
Also all this Jets news. I've had Oakland picked as an upset win for a few days now.

Anywhere in California, I'm sure.
So an old roommate has some suite tickets to the Ravens/Cincinatti game and invited me. I'll try not to get murdered while I'm out there (by Ray or by citizens of the city).

It's hotter than leaked celebrity pictures over here.
I need to eat a god damn snack. I'm getting all moody.

One of our starting CBs is a concussed strong safety.
Allen is a good athlete but a LB converted to Safety converted to CB is only going to end badly.

Easley will play Sunday
I guess Gronk will too

lol you took my post serious?
But really someone should take the Jets to the bank, the league has all the leverage with how shitty Jets secondary is, unless they plan on punting the season which is could very well be happening.

Nice! Look forward to his breakdown before the Eagles/Panthers Monday night tilt.

No, he's not making fun of your height. He's asking if Shorts is playing this Sunday against the Eagles?

What's he holding? A fleshlight? A single scoop sugar cone? What's that supposed to be?

Salguero and James Walker (Dolphins writers I keep up with the most) both predict that the Dolphins will go 8-8 again...

Gata you are so ridiculous. You live in a city with a football team and you claim to be a football fan, is it really that impossible that maybe you would have some knowledge of a players status?

Watched a little bit of the replay of the game last night. Now that the dust has settled, here are some of my thoughts:
-Oline looked significantly better including the run blocking. People somehow forget how bad Seattle's line has been the past two seasons. I just heard the Around the NFL podcast talk about how Seattle starting Wilson worked in part because he started out with a "terrific offensive line." Please. It's been garbage, and if it can be even mediocre this year, that will be a huge improvement.
-Zach Miller had an outstanding game. He made great blocks all over the field and had that one handed diving catch. He works very well in Seattle's offense because of their reliance on the run and their constant need for help in pass protection.
-Bobby Wagner was probably the defensive player of the game. He was the biggest reason GB's run game was stifled, and he is athletic enough to cover (and commit PI) down the field.
-Dline looked like absolute garbage until GB had to abandon the run. This is the biggest negative. It was the biggest reason why GB converted 50% of its third downs. I'm telling you that if they don't generate a better pass rush, their defense is going to regress quite a bit despite last night's performance.
-Maxwell looked good deep but at the expense of the short throws. He has to contest better on third and medium or short.
-As for GB, I wasn't paying too much attention, but what stood out to me is that their linebacker play was absolutely awful. AJ Hawk and Jones (whoever that is) looked slow and confused every play. Mathews played fast and was disruptive, but he did it at the expense of discipline on a few plays. I can see why GB struggles against any sort of option offenses.

The one positive is that the majority of missed tackles (different sources have 15-17) were at the line, which means the line was creating space to make plays and the back 8 (really, Jones...how missed 4 of the 16 on his own) just flat whiffed.
Also, the secondary tackled really well outside of Dix's miss and one or two other plays.
