Title: Hard Knocks
Post by: Reacher on August 07, 2024, 03:34:16 PM: Heard it was kind of meh. I honestly don’t think I’ve watched this show since its first season (which was how many years ago?). Is it only on HBO? My cable bill is already through the roof and I haven’t had HBO since GOT ended.

Are they playing tackle and allowed to hit him?

Are they allowed to cover receivers and rush the passer?

Post by: ThePAMan on August 09, 2024, 07:37:13 AM: You have continually espoused the greatness of Eberlose's defense here. Shouldn't he have a tough time (unless Sweat is taking a breather during critical parts of practice)?

Skeptical you believe that wholeheartedly on the 1st assertion. We are well aware on the 2nd assertion.

Does that matter as much if they can’t hit him?

Post by: Reacher on August 09, 2024, 09:17:56 AM: Allowed to rush the passer? I’d argue no, they are not allowed to rush the passer since they can’t touch him.

Post by: ThePAMan on August 09, 2024, 09:27:17 AM: If they can rush the passer he still has to get rid of the ball, even if they can't hit him. And the dynamic secondary is covering the receivers!
