With Long and Quinn on the outside, you don't need a crazy pass rush from your 3 tech DT, I'd say Langford has done the job he was signed to do. He and Brockers are going to be big on the run D this year as the team breaks in Ogletree and the safeties, and if last year is any indication he'll fill the role admirably.
As long as someone can set the edge when we play these stupid hamster-like QBs, I'm good. Quinn and Long can collapse the pocket, and Brockers/Langford can make a push, but someone has to cover that C-gap run they'll inevitably break out when our corners are gobbling up their weakass receivers.

My impression was the Ogletree and Dunbar will handle them if they're feeling squirrelly.

I keep forgetting that we drafted such a talent like Ogletree...I just got excited. He gets hardly any press

Probably. But that stupid offense is predicated on sending receivers vertical (and TE's) so that it clears out the middle of the field to open up that C Gap run when the pressure gets up field behind the QB. I SO hate that stupid offense. It's like a girl's brand of Football. Stand in there and either pass on a team or run on them. Stop with the Madden-like QB-run-spread-read-option-happy-horseshit.

A few missile strikes oughta do it. You can open up the middle but once you cross that LOS - all bets are off.

I think Steaming Willie Beamen up there in San Francisco is in for a rude awakening without his buddy Crabs. Wilson gives me more pause, but mostly just because I think he's a smarter cat.

I'm so excited to see 'tree. His speed is going to make the running qb think twice.

I used to have that same problem until a friend of mine showed my how to "fix" your players. On the bottom of each player there are two plastic stubs sticking out. As these bend due to the vibrations in the surface the players move. Any imperfections in the perpendicularity and/or parallelism of the plastic stubs would cause your players to always head off in one direction or another. The trick is to bend the corners of one or more of the plastic stubs. Sometimes, when looking at the flat stub as the horizontal plane, you would have to bend one of the corners up and sometimes down. It was totally trial and error because your naked eye could rarely see the imperfections in the alignment. Bending both of them forward usually increased their speed.

I thought I read somewhere that the game's making a comeback and you never know when you might buy one for your kids or grand kids. Glad you got a kick out of it. :ja:
