I hope Haley is ready to break out the 4-4 defense this week
 

We MUST stop the run and force the faiders to throw.

Enter the 4-4 defense

Jackson,Tyler,Dorsey,Magee

Vrabel,Williams,Mays,Hali

Flowers, Page, Carr

The faiders offensively line is huge, smallest guy is their center at 6'4" 305, we need to add some more beef up front.


I hope we think about doing something like this on 1st and 2nd down.

We only gave up 200 rushing yards last week. Surely we can do it again.

we are going to run alot of different d's

Did Magee get on the field last week ?

Agreed, I can easily see us running some serious 8 in the box stuff though....hell, I expect us to. JaFat couldn't sling it against the bolts, but that line is gigantic, they'll stick to the run anyway.

As long as someone keeps tabs on Miller we should be fine.

Yep.

You make it sound so easy. :banghead:

No need to panic, stay with the defense the Chiefs been in because the Raiders don't pose nearly the same type of balanced threat that the Ravens did. The D was playing run and the Ravens threw, successfully. As the D adjusted the Ravens were simply talented enough to counter with more running. Sure the stats look bad but it against elite competition and cudos to the Ravens coaches for a good gameplan.

IMO, the D just needs to come out with the same mentality as Baltimore. Take away the run and let Russell beat you because Cable won't put the game on his QB's shoulders.

This game is a must win.

That's nothing.

See the thread that claims we'll be 3-3 after 6 games.

I'm not touching it with a 10-foot pole. I'm sure if I say he's wrong, he'll end up being right.

Totally within reason based on what I saw against Baltimore.

They look more like 0-16 if you watch the Baltimore game.

Too tough a competition coming up early but after the first 6 games I could see a really good showing from this group

Look at it this way. If we win, it's a good thing. If we lose we'll be ahead of the Raiders for the #1 pick in the draft.

Disagree completely. I think you need to stay ahead of the curve. It's not panicking to adapt to a prevent a bad situation.

The weakness of Martyball is two-fold. If the defense stops the run on 1st down then it puts pressure on the offense to pass the ball and to score points because Martyball is not designed to come back from a big deficit.

since we aren't like to run up the score, we need to stonewall the run early.
