Last week WFT had three sacks on Mahomes, Chiefs had ZERO. No Big Mac for you!!! BTW: I noticed I haven't seen the Chris Jones Big Mac commercial on TV lately. Guess they're re-shooting it with Mike Danna...

I always assume there is something the coaches see that we don’t to justify some of these odd decisions. These two moves seem pretty obvious given the early returns of the season.

It’s simple.

They absolutely never saw us adding Jarran Reed at DT and when they did, it made the most sense to move a DT to DE to balance the line. Similar to what Andy talks about with the OL putting “the best 5 guys on the field” philosophy.

It was absolutely worth taking a swing at it and it’s a shame Jones at DE didn’t work both times they tried (brief stint in 2018) but it’s gonna be nice having his disruptive talents back where they are most effective. Let’s just hope the days of “selling out for a sack, leaving wide open running lanes” are over and he is a smarter DL. If not, Derrick Henry is about to have a career game.

Sigh. We miss that guy way more than is recognized.

Yes we do.

It's interesting to me that they're already pulling the plug on the DE experiment.

Jones must have hated it as much as I originally did.

BleedingRed 10-19-2021 03:38 PM

It was a dumb ****ing idea to start out with...


Rams - “let’s move arron Donald to DE”

That sounds just as reeruned as what we did

His spirit doesn’t like Derrick Henry so doubtful he will be back.

At least we aren't waiting until the end of the season to attempt change like that pillowbiter Sutton in 2018.

Back or not, it won't make any difference if he lines up at DE.

Is your source Burt Vreech!?!?

It's probably Marty. And no, he doesn't actually have insider info.

Like lots of things in life, you can be too close to the situation to see the big picture. I think everyone, even good coaches are guilty of this.

Incorrect.

We are signing Mercilus, so Jones has to go back inside.

I was lowkey upset we couldn't keep him. Made such a difference in the run game.

Last time you tried this gimmick it failed miserably.
