And Stafford just cannot be a free rusher right now unless he sees it.

Because he's not twitchy enough and he can't move off it, right?

And he's like, he's big and he's strong.

But if, you know, if Stafford hits 19 sidearm throws on you, then he does.

But just as we've seen in these games, this is not a consistent, reliable answer, you know?

Also, like a lot of times when he's hot, he ends up throwing the one-on-one vertical.

And if it's Pook and Akui, you're terrified.

If it's everybody else, like you used to be scared of Devontae, but Devontae's just not fast right now coming off the hamstring.

If it's Terrence Ferguson, if it's Kanata Mumfield, we've seen these targets.

These are just not high percentage targets.

So you can get them to a point where they're going three and out fast because you're just blitzing the run looks, you're getting the early stops with what the Bears were doing.

And then when they go under center and it's play action pass, you're blitzing it anyway because you think if we just get one rusher at stacker, we can just kind of break this whole thing.

And so I am dubious of their ability to immediately return to like that MVP level that we saw in the regular season.

it's still Stafford and McVay.

Like, you know, if it happens, I'm not going to be like, oh my God, where'd this come from?

I'll be like, yeah, freaking of course, because that's the caliber of guys we're talking about.

So 13 personnel is one running back and three tight ends.

Well, here's the thing.

They didn't run it at all against the Bears, which was very peculiar to me.

Barely ran it.
