we need another run stuffing DT



another? that implies we already have one. And to correct your statement: we don't need a run stuffing DT; we need a dominant control the LOS one. Run stuffing is a specialty item, and we need a do it all guy.

we draft a clown who was injury riddled and now he is hurt again (RESOUNDING YES)


I'm not ready to throw the towel in on Moore just yet. He's been a mixed bag for me from jump (remember, nobody else wanted this job; he was choice number 8-10).

The good: QB looks great, offense can get rolling despite its flaws, team played with a lot of heart during his first season, second half adjustments have been stellar for the most part

The bad: formation penalties riddled us all last season and into this one (that is 100% coaching; SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN), game prep has been horrendous with awful first halves (no this is not like boxing as someone posted 2 weeks ago), he seems to have little passion


I hesitate to put the talent vacuum on him, since we don't know how much influence he actually has on it all. I'm sure he has some (Shough), but that ultimately falls on the front office.

I think we need to see a solid 3 years before truly judging Moore, unless this team goes completely off the rails this season. This was an awful showing of a game, but just prior to this we had 2 stellar performances and 1 mixed bag.

the d-line obviously wasn’t doing great


Nor have they been all last year along with this. I have been pointing out for a year and 3 games now that our DL are constantly getting pushed back 3-5yds on run plays. That is atrocious.

The problem is that Staley wants to run a 3 down lineman system but doesn't have the NT to do so. Why are we still trying to run a system that we don't have the proper personnel for? At some point you need to adjust to your players, not force them into roles they don't belong.

This D will not be fixed this season. It is seriously devoid of talent, and we have wiffed on picks here the last few years. When you continue to draft poorly, this is the result.

He has no players lol.

I refuse to believe in todays sports medical sciences that a hammy cannot be managed with a willing subject.


It's not just a hammy with him. He has a list of injuries.

Regarding the hamstring, the knee injuries can contribute to that. If he doesn't come back from the knee injury with proper strength and stability to support the knee, then the major muscles operating it may over work in ways that are not conducive to the torque and stress of professional football. That can lead to injuries of those muscles. I'm not saying that is what happened here, but it is an example of what may have.

The reality is that some peoples' bodies just are not naturally designed to withstand the punishment of a professional football player. That is not a knock on those people; it's simply biological. Tyson appears to be one of those people to me. If he indeed is, then no amount of science and medical treatment can change that.

I really do hope it is otherwise and that he becomes an NFL healthy player. I tend to think he won't, but only time will let us know for certain

They consistently struggle to move defenders on run plays. They are very up and down with pass protection. Since losing Banks, that LT got smoked the entire game against the Raiders. Shough clearly was struggling from the pressure and getting hit too often.

That's about all I got.
I'm old enough to remember when a small faction of us were saying drafting in the top 10 a player with a consistent history of injuries is a bad idea. The late, great Mike D was saying the same thing. Nobody is denying Tyson's talent, but talent means diddly poo when it's not being displayed on the football field. His body just does not appear to be one built for the physical turmoil of an NFL player.

He seems like a good dude, so I hope the best for him for his sake as well as the team's.
The problem is that Officials have a power complex along with a need to be seen. They intentionally insert themselves into the games in order to get TV exposure, and they flex their power over the players. It has been awful for years, but now it has gotten out of hand. That one official getting in the Vikings player's face and this one cursing out the Cardinals player should be grounds for firing. It's time to reign in these out of control ego freaks.

but we need more guys considering we run a 3-4.



we have the pieces for the DEs in a 3 DL system, but we need one piece in particular: NT. Running a 3-4 (or really a 3-3-5 in today's league) MUST have a block eating NT. Without it the system doesn't work.

He landed with his full weight on the QB. That’s what the rule says.


And this is why the NFL is a trash league. That someone actually wrote this rule down which was then ratified by the rest of the league rule makers tells you all you need to know. A textbook tackle gets flagged for landing too hard? Get out of here with that nonsense.

I stopped watching and following the NFL a few years back, and this is the main reason why. If it's not the Saints or Steelers, I find something else more productive to do with my time. It's not a boycott; it's just me not liking the damn product.

when Shough was throwing TDs in the first 3 quarters he had time and comfort to process and find the receivers



not really. he's been under duress all 3 games. this one was worse than the first 2 is all. His first 2 TOs in the 4th were not his fault: he was blindsided for the fumble, and his LT was bowled into him right as he threw the ball for the INT. The following TOs were a result of pressure, him playing scared and him being incredibly uncomfortable in the pocket. That LT spot is a major concern now without Banks

My gripe with Shough this game was his hesitancy. That 4th down play was 100% on him. The ONLY thing you can't do is take a sack. An INT means nothing at that point. If you don't throw the ball, then the play is over. You have to give your WR some type of chance. He didn't, and that's on him.

This was a sloppy game from the start. It unfortunately collapsed in the 4th. This is why you can't continue to rely on being "a second half team." That is unsustainable; you must start developing leads early.

Outcoached. Moore ain’t it.



a coach in his second year has this team light years ahead of where it was when he took over and got us a potential elite QB, and this is your hot take?

DING DING DING! These choads whining here don't get this, but truth is truth.
DT is our biggest hole. I think Moore's thinking this past draft was turn this Offense into an elite unit and then look to fix the D in 2027. I'm ok with that. This D has some great pieces, but it does remain to have some big weaknesses. That DL will not work without a good DT, and we really need to improve there.

Scheme is an issue as well though. Why is the best TE in the league being left in man coverage or straight up uncovered an entire game? There were times where we rolled double coverage over to the WR and left Bowers running free in a zone. That was bad. Better players won't fix that.
