All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

I have been disappointed w/ them so far. We end up having to blitz qb's all the time because our DE's can't get to them. Could blitzing too much be the reason why we are getting killed in the running game?
Do we need to get a stud pass rusher via FA or do we draft another "potential"

Agree with everything you've said. However don't we need a DT just as badly as another DE whether its through FA or the draft?
We haven't had a dominant DE since Bruce.
And when we blitz, we send 8 guys and none of them can get through the line of scrimmage. Simply amazing. It never works that way against us.
But yes, we have a great DT, and have had alot of good DT's, Washington, Pat, and now Sam. But DE we never address, just like the Oline. Schoebel is not the answer. He's a complement to somebody real good.
Lou Saban: You can get it done, you can get it done. And what’s more, you’ve gotta get it done.
I liken our DE's as being akin to Phil Hansens. Neither of them are spectacular but they just make consistent plays though they could be better against the run. If we had one power DE it could totally change our defense into something awesome.
Op is right. Shobel is good, but inconsistent. The only consistent thing they've done so far is get two consecutive sacks at the end of the dolphins game to stop their comeback. That was good, but we need to see more of that.
we don't have any special players at DE, and we don't really need one.
atlanta has a similar level of talent at DE, they show up big time in some games, and get smothered in others.
no D is perfect and you can't have it all, but players compliment each other well. all we need is one or two new DTs and our D will be about tops in the NFL. I really wish we got Simon this offseason.
What do you think about them so far?

your logic is faulty...at least in theory. Blitzing in practice should CLOSE the running lanes and allow more passing opportunities.
Sam Adams played well against Miami. Other than that, our D line has sucked.
IMO Adams hasn't shown up since opening game of last season.
I am Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, your senior drill instructor. From now on you will speak only when spoken to, and the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be sir. Do you maggots understand that?
As far as the defense he said without Pat Williams, teams have figured out to run at the left side of our defense. Say Schobel is good against the pass, but is getting KILLED against the run because of his size and the fact that Pat Williams is gone and Edwards is getting killed.
I think this probably hurts us against the pass also.
