If we had vintage Neil and Derrick today, they would have racked up 7 sacks or more between them.

Hali and Vrabel had a good game and it did key the defense but lets not get ahead of ourselves.

Turk Mcbride had 1.5 sacks today, he is no Neil Smith either.

Sounds like Tamba went off today & i missed it at a family reunion.

VIVA TAMBA!

VIVA VICTORY!

he was a beast today!

If he was a half a step faster he would have had three or four sacks today.

Agreed, it was a brutal game to watch. A win is a win though!

Football has such a strange hold on me, being able to finally savor a victory & knowing Tamba took another step today...puts me in a better mood than it probably should.

Totally. Tamba would already have 6 or 7 sacks if he had that extra step or if the middle of the defense could collapse the pocket a little better.

I actually think that Tamba is going to be a very good outside linebacker, and better at that spot than he was a left end. Even his drops look good. He's certainly making a lot of "experts" on here look stupid.

Can we play Washington every week?

So, Tamba would have more sacks if he were a better player.

Thanks for the amazing analysis, reerunian.

LMAO

Yeah because that's what I totally wrote Melt Down Jenkins.

Notice the comment about the middle of our defense.

Notice the comment about "if he were a half-step faster".

The middle of the defense gives him that half step because the QB can't hold the ball as long or step up as easily.

Thanks for playing Melt Down.

I admit i was skeptical if Hali would have a spot in the 34. I thought just a nickel DE was in the cards for him. He has worked very hard at it and it's paying off. Playing at a lighter weight has also done him some good.

Another who i thought would struggle to find a place is Demo Williams. He hasn't been perfect but holds up well against the run and is making the most of his opportunity that DJ's inconsistancy is giving him. Belcher too.

So let me see if I understand this.

Hali had a sack/safety and a couple of pressures against a backup tackle and did show some progress in coverage, but was virtually invisible for the rest of the game, and we have a thread sucking him off?
