drfrey13 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 So we have 5 potential cold weather games away from home next year. We play at KC (duh), Denver, NYJ, NE, and Cleveland. MY question is how many games does the league assign to us in Dec and Jan? Remember in Vegas the temperature in Dec and Jan averages below 30 to 60 degrees also.

agarcia34 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 KC and Denver will be late November/December like always. Feel like the NFL will make the NE game a late October. Bet the Browns game is early in the season late September early October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that they’ll have NE late in the year with NE and CLE early. I can see both KC games late like this past year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 kinda wish we drop GregOlsen at this point, what is something new he can teach Carr at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means since we drafted Carr our games in KC have been week 13 or later. Giving them a weather related home field advantage for 6 years in a row. I also hope they have them practice in the elements when we are going to play against a team like KC late in the season. Practice in the warm all week to go play a game in 30 degree weather is like flying your team to London two days before the game. You need to acclimate.

Peyton always had an issue playing against the Patriots, Brady has problems playing against Denver. I think it happens but Carr needs to pull some wins out of his butt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldManWillis Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 ^ Impressive, had no idea Hall played that well this season. Hurst, Hall, Hankins, and hopefully Chris Jones would be a helluva line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hall is good against the run. Leaves a lot to be desired against the pass. I don't think his roster spot is guaranteed. Rod Marinelli got talent to work with, but still need another guy at DT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall would be a similar style though in that getoff and shooting through the gaps rather than holding ground and two gapping would be how he affects the run game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think his roster spot is guaranteed. Rod Marinelli got talent to work with, but still need another guy at DT. I think DT is down the list of team needs. A DTs job, first and foremost, is not to get pushed back against the run. If you can't have DTs that can control the middle, your entire defense is wrecked. Just look at what the 49ers were able to do to the Packers and Vikings in the playoffs. I've noticed draft outlets and PFF love love one-gap penetrators in the middle. However, if you have even one DT who can't hold up against a double team then your defense is giving up 4 yards a carry no matter how good your edge rushers or linebackers are--and if your runningback is good that 4 yards is more like 7 or 8. At the end of the day, offenses--especially those without an elite passer--want to run the ball: there are fewer moving parts and there is less likelihood for turnovers. Defenses can't make running the ball easy for teams. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Ratliff never even played under Marinelli. He became the DLine coach for the Cowboys in 2013. Ratliff last year with the Cowboys was in 2012. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
