Four Down Territory: Double Thrust Alert

First Down The NFL treade deadline is November 3rd and teams will either go all in for this year or prepare for the future. But what should teams do? Don't sweat it, potential general managers that happen to be reading this article. The answer is below. Buyers Tennessee Titans: The Titans are 5-0 but their defense is giving up 25 points per game. Their saving grace is that they're tied with Kansas City and Seattle with a +6 turnover differntial. What should they buy? Pass rushers. As many as possible. The Titans only have seven sacks this year. Signing Jadeveon Clowney and Vic Beasley this offseason hasn't produced as the Titans had hoped but they don't have time to wait for them to heat up. If the Titans want to repeat the success of last year's team and go further then at some point they'll need to rush the passer (i.e. Patrick Mahomes). Buffalo Bills Another AFC hopeful that won't make it unless they make some MAJOR moves. The Bills are in the bottom part of the league in rushing. A look at their depth chart RB1: Devin Singletary RB2: Zack Moss RB3: TJ Yeldon That's not going to cut it come playoff time. Josh Allen has been playing great this year but if your plan is to leave it on his shoulders then you're asking for trouble. Allen and the Bills have attempted 79 play-action passes this year, second in the league. How much better would they be if they had an actual run game? Seattle Seahawks Russell Wilson is currently in the MVP race but Seattle's dirty little secret is that their QB is getting pressured on 27.6% of his dropbacks. Granted, some of this could be equated to Russell's scrambling ability but this is still a little too close for comfort if you're Seattle. They need some help on the offensive line. Football Outsiders has them ranked in the top ten but the Seahawks would be foolish to not look for more depth. Seattle's biggest problem will be assets that teams will find worthy enough to trade for. They don't have a first round pick until 2023 and only have five picks in the 2021 draft. Sellers Philadelphia Eagles The Eagles are projected to be $69 million over the cap next season. At 1-4-1 and riddled with injuries it's time for the Eagles host a yard sale and the following players are an open box sale. Fletcher CoxZach Ertz Malik Jackson Alshon Jeffery Brandon GrahamDeSean Jackson Three years ago everyone on that list except the Jackson boys played a crucial part in the Eagles' championship run. The thing is....that was three years ago. Philadelphia needs to plan for the future and that starts by shedding salary ASAP. Atlanta Falcons Another team that's strapped for cap space and going nowhere are the Falcons. After firing Dan Quinn (which was waayyy too late) it's time for the Falcons to turn the page; especially if they get a top five pick. This is going to be painful Atlanta but it's time to trade Matt Ryan. He'll be 36 at the start of next season and you'd rather get rid of him one year too early than one too late. If they're within striking distance of Trevor Lawrence then a rebuild might be faster than they realize. That also mean potentially getting rid of Julio Jones, too. And that's okay. Houston Texans If you're name isn't Deshaun Watson or Laremy Tunsil then you've been put on notice. The Texans have been giving away talent for nothing the last two years and now it's time to change that. That starts with trading J.J. Watt. They're fighting with Jacksonville for last place in the AFC West so it's time to commit to the future. Houston wasting Watson's prime because they can't decide if they're rebuilding or going all in for is a crime and someone should call the authorities. Second Down On this episode of the Cowboys getting shredded. https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1318370916540116992 The Cowboys defense has allowed 1,040 rushing yards this season. That's second to the Texans. Being awful at stopping the run is only okay if you have Patrick Mahomes (the Chiefs rank third in the league for most rushing yards gained) but when you're literally anyone else it's not going to end well. There's a saying in the league that yards is one stat that doesn't matter and that's true. If your defense is bending and not breaking then yards are an empty stat skill players use to get paid in the offseason. But for the Cowboys? Spinal column, meet Bane's kneecap. https://twitter.com/SportsSturm/status/1318392632280829959 As bad as the Cowboys' defense is their offense doesn't get to slide, either. When you have a receiving corp that consists of Cooper, Gallup, and Lamb you should be able to put up more than ten points. Two Zeke fumbles don't help and he's a little washed but you expect more from the "geniuses" McCarthy and Moore. To think, people had the audacity to ask this question. https://twitter.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/1318223943484977154 *Laughs in Carson Wentz playing with only one healthy starter left on offense* If Monday night showed Dallas anything it's that Dak covers up A LOT of holes on the team. https://twitter.com/EmmanuelAcho/status/1318384596753420293 Luckily for Dallas the NFC East is an absolute mess and the Eagles have a brutal stretch during the second half of the season. If they can somehow win six more games they should win the division. That is, if the coaching staff can get this team to believe. https://twitter.com/SlaterNFL/status/1318602459300974595 A friendly reminder that their fans are some BUSTERS https://twitter.com/zoowithroy/status/1318367378389041153 https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1318389043344723969 Third Down As a fellow big man who dreamed of running the ball it makes my heart sing seeing Derrick Henry tote the rock. And for all the other big men with the same dream; let's take a few moments to appreciate how special he really is. A thread. https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1317922653949276162 https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1317911197224763393 https://twitter.com/SportsNewsD/status/1283014213330444288 https://twitter.com/YahooSports/status/1316171136124633089 https://twitter.com/SInow/status/1316374341299433472 Derrick Henry: king of the offensive linemen who think they should be running the ball. https://twitter.com/thecheckdown/status/1317924751587725314 Fourth Down PICK TIME! Last week was a rough one as I went 6-8 but that means it's another chance to bounce bakc, right? Overall season record to date is 55-32-1 Winners are in red. Thursday Night Football New York Giants @ Philadelphia Sunday Games Carolina @ New Orleans Buffalo @ New York Jets Cleveland @ Cincinnati Dallas @ Washington Green Bay @ Houston Detroit @ Atlanta Pittsburgh @ Tennessee Seattle @ Arizona Kansas City @ Denver Jacksonville @ Los Angeles Chargers San Francisco @ New England Sunday Night Football Tampa Bay @ Las Vegas Monday Night Football Chicago @ Los Angeles Rams Extra Points What's the opposite of titletown? Atlanta? https://twitter.com/NFL_Memes/status/1318292095782817792 I guess the key to being a fruitful Belichick disciple is to have played for him. https://twitter.com/SharpFootball/status/1318189627019329536 Instead of a bust Cam should get a wall of quotes in the HOF. https://twitter.com/kpatra/status/1318189450028089346 Double thrusting is an excellent celebration until you become a meme. https://twitter.com/wingoz/status/1317959702613905409 lol Jets. https://twitter.com/PFF/status/1317960327548600322 HIDE YA MOMS AND AUNTIES https://twitter.com/VinceMancini/status/1317898898195705856 Don’t forget to check out GoingFor2.com for daily fantasy advice and more heat. @ me madads14 As always, thanks for reading.
