Damn!

He had Telesco and and the Cardinals coach on yesterday after the draft. It's the only show Aaron Rodgers will go on. Mac keeps it real, and he apparently is well respected!

Well, he is very good at what he does....it's not just the cussing, beer drinking, and t-shirts, he's a very good interviewer!

The Ringer had an article about Matt Ryan and the Colts that they posted a few days ago. Link below if you haven't read it yet....

Nice read. BUT, I’m sick of reading about this team. I’m ready to watch some Colt football! All prepped for a huge year!!

Heard something today on the radio. One bc of the WRs talked about how much attention to detail Matt Ryan emphasizes for the receivers. Route precision, depth, when to make your cut. The receiver didn’t say it, but the reporter had the impression things were a little more backyard football like contrasted to this year. Gives a little insight into how everything else is the same but the QB is different and just how much a difference that makes.

I have read the exact same thing, to the point where receivers say it isn’t about just getting open, it is about getting open at the correct time and place. All this tells me it is going to take quite some time for this offense to really gel. The defense needs to be good right out of the gate if we are not going to do that ridiculous thing we do every year (losing big for the first third of the year).

When was the last time that the defense was good right out of the gate?

When was the last time we won an opening game? Nine years. Something’s got to give. This defense has a chance, small but real. Gilmore doesn’t need time to learn to cover. His presence should be huge. Linebackers will be good to great depending on how healthy Leonard is. Safety’s look like they can hold their own and more. My only real concern is can we generate a pass rush on a consistent basis? I think there is a chance we are good enough out of the gate. But you are right, it has been forever.

I think we will get the pass rush against mills, so long as our coverage is there. I really like our safety group.

The Colts offense needs to be aggressive and move the ball and score early. Ryan needs to put a foot in guys butts and get a lead and let the D attack their offense.
