        none of us know what will happen tomorrow or how are team will look....but here are a few things:

        all the media who are predicting the WTF will beat us are talking about how much pressure Herbie will be under... but Herbie head NFL in beating pressure.....

        and one knows what our offensive scheme or defensive schemes will look like because Staqley played no one and showed noting in pre season.....

        and this team is the healthiest we have been in decades to start a season........

        only 14 hours left......

          I don’t see what all the commotion is about. WFT is not going to know what hit them.

          34-17 Bolts.
          Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
          Let’s win one for Mack.

            I found some cool stuff about Fangio's and Staley's defensive scheme. The WFT's offense needs to do the following in order to beat Staley's defense.


            So, to recap here: the most effective ways to combat this defense include more running (which is inherently less efficient), more short completions (which require longer, mistake-free drives), and simpler play calls less capable of creating chunk gains. With answers like that, there’s a reason this system of defense is about to take the league by storm.
            Essentially the only team that's been able to really knock this defense down was Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. But that was on a cold day with an injured Aaron Donald playing.

              Move like what? In 9 games, Fitzpatrick ran for a whopping 151 yards. The most he has ever run for in a season is 304 yards. He is not a running QB. The video shows him running slowly in a pasture when the defense created wide open running lanes for him. He initiated contact against smaller DBs on a couple of plays. Herbert knocked a bigger LB out cold when he initiated contact. Steve Young ran for 454 yards in his age 37 season at 6.5 yards per carry.

                You don't read very well sometimes.

                I said "surprising". Never said historic or legendary.
                I said "moves well for his age". Never said he was a running QB (though he did in fact lead Mia in 2019 rushing)

                    The looks just about right IMO.

                      Feels like it's Christmas eve, the clock is moving so slowly.

                        In what way is the video surprising? Fitzpatrick saw huge holes in the defense and decided to run, which he did slowly and not very impressively. On his best day ever, Fitzpatrick does not look like a good runner. So, my point is that guys who are that slow and get slower do not look like they are moving well for their age. They just look slow. The most impressive part of the video for Fitzpatrick is that he does a good job of spotting the gigantic holes when they are there. (He demonstrates intelligence, not good or even surprisingly good athleticism).

                        Also, Fitzpatrick led the Dolphins in rushing with a mere 243 rushing yards in 2019. So that, by far, is Miami RBs being bad, not Fitzpatrick being good (or good for his age if you prefer).

                          This has become repetitive, and is no longer interesting to debate. I think Fitz moves surprising well. You don't. There we are.

                          Enjoy your evening. Sleep well...for the games tomorrow!
