Chase Young to reserve/PUP list; out at least first four games

Rain Saturday in NYC, no rain in forecast Sunday.

If Chases does go, I imagine it will be limited snaps (10-15) on pass plays only.

A constant problem last year with the defense was free styling and not buying into the scheme. This year started slow and now the defense is rolling…do you think there is any concern from staff of Chase coming back and breaking up this chemistry?

Replacing the Dline coach seems to have really help this defense a lot

I completely agree with you, the free styling/selfishness issue was a huge problem with the D-Lineman and our DE's in particular. They were all looking for the big sack/big play and not reading and reacting.
For the first time in decades I recently (in the last few weeks) saw our DE's actually cover their gap responsibility in the running game and also blow up screen plays because they actually stopped and read the play successfully. In the past they used to sprint as fast they could to the QB. Now when the O-lineman lets the DE's unblocked they look around and read. They do not fall into the trap. Smart football finally.
Chase Young is going to have to play team football. The team winning is more important than your sack stats.

Good assessment. And now there's a true Alpha on the line in Jon Allen. Even a guy of Chase's stature needs to follow the lead of the soon-to-be All Pro DT. I think he will.

Sports radio was talking about that this morning.

Last year RR repeatedly said they need show maturity.

Warren Sapp when he visited in offseason said our scheme requires gap responsibility/integrity.

When Chase went out last year, we saw an almost immediate difference on the edge in the run game when Smith-Williams/Toothill came in.

How great has Smith-Williams and Toothill been? Solid play from your next man up.

Toney .. thought hed be coming in on pass plays as a pass rush specialist.

I wish i was in the film room with the D-Line when they replayed the John Ridgeway body slam of the Houston rb. He seems to be fittin in and getting some valuable snaps.

Funny how the defense suddenly "matured" once Mills was replaced.

Honestly not worried about CY disrupting the flow of things.

WJ3 as well, he was so bad for us back there.

There is a reason he hasn't played yet for Pitt

The bench guys are playing great. They have all developed their roles and playing them perfectly. Good rotation. Have to credit the coaching to develop these guys.
I think you can also say what a luxury it is to not have to rush Young back. Let him slowly work his way back. No rush.

JDR is MVP on coaching staff

I would have to think CY has matured by witnessing the maturity of the team from a far and will fall in line. If not I am confident that RR will have something to say.
