    Just the beginning. First teammates in history with 20 sacks same season :cool:

    Wow.. thought both Joseph and Kareem had one, but maybe just TFLs.

    Not that surprising, we don't run corner blitzes very often at all.

    Wade Phillips used to dial up the Safety blitz, I remember one where Glover Quin obliterated Jake Locker.

    Nope, it was Quin. He ended up knocking Locker out of the game (and maybe even the season) if I remember correctly.

    Also, after going back and re-watching parts of the Bears game, I can't help but feel like Osweiler left a bunch of yards out on the field. Obviously Fuller dropped a big one, but there were a couple of other plays where if he had just hung on for half a second longer, either Braxton Miller or Stephen Anderson were running free over the middle of the field. As the season goes on and he gets more comfortable in the system, I expect Osweiler to really start seeing the whole field and dropping some dimes on defenses. It's exciting that we've finally got weapons for O'Brien to start getting really creative.

    Thanks, we ended up grabbing another spot, since we found a good deal for 2.

    From what I can tell, the numbers are just generic on the yellow lot tickets....it's first come first serve for spots right?

    You're right, Brock played very anxiously, not in a bad way. He was obviously excited to play and it showed, he had a couple of throws I'm sure he would like to have back, Fuller dropped two sure fire touchdowns but Brock mistimed Fuller on a hot route that ended up a jump ball and Nook in the endzone and on a sideline route that was going to be a big gain. All in all it was his first and like you said as the season goes on he will get more comfortable but so far so good. I think he had "IT", that game with the two preseason games and his demeanor is very encouraging

    Bill Belichick uses the term Red Area more often. Maybe OB learned from him?

    It is first come first serve. Platinum Lot, which is in the Blue Lot is the only lot with assigned spaces.

    In that case, Alex Smith is really going to have to get the ball out fast.

    Which is what they do best. They killed us with the screens & short passes last year.

    Sure, but that also makes it pretty easy for a DB to jump a route and get a pick. If they can't run the ball, and they can't stop the pass rush making them stick to short passes all day, it'll be a long day for them.

    First play on offense should be a go route to Fuller. Go ahead and put some fear into them at the start
