Why am I so damn optimistic?

THIS far but hey, this team can stay with anybody and come back and win it with the mad heart they play with.


That is wild how Joe said the same phrase lol


Just seems like destiny with the way this team plays. It is never over. Watch the Rams game similar. They will get up big on 
us and we will slowly grind back into the game with solid Defense and good enough Offense to score the points needed.

Predicting a Shooter Kick to win the Superbowl in OT.


It will ride on both Lines and Turnovers. Our OL will have trouble with AD, Vonn and Floyd, we just have to keep it to a minimum
somewhat and have some semblance of a running game and give Burrow some chances to make some plays and get the ball to 
our Receivers. Our DL, specifically our interior with BJ Hill and DJ Reader could have a big day just the same as the Rams DL.

Need to start Carman, better at picking up stunts and can make a great block here and there unlike Adeniji.

Plus Carman is a much better run blocker and that is how you beat AD. You run it at him and tire him out.

One thing that I don't think is helping Carman (and also could definitely keep him from ever moving outside to OT) is he only has 32.5" arms.
That's in only the 5th percentile of OL.
His wingspan is only 80.875" too, which is only 32nd percentile.

Adeniji, on the other hand, has 33.75" arm length.
I'm sure this added length helps keep defenders at bay.
I do think Carman is more powerful than Adeniji though, which allows for Carman to be more effective when he does get hands on the defender.
