    JMO, I don't buy it. We beat some of those same teams earlier in the year, and we've had our way with some of those teams , year after year.
    So what I'm getting at is....if we are so vanilla, and don't scheme anything, would we not be the same year after year, anytime you played us, so why would it ever work, and not just sometimes.
    Example: Ravens, or Browns.....why would it work over, and over against them, but then in the post season not. If it's the same old same old, we'll they've seen it for years, and years, why let it ever beat you.
    I hope I'm explaining myself correctly.

    I'm not buying that Watt can get 22 sacks in the regular season and win DPOY, but in the playoffs he needs a different scheme to make some splash plays. What's the excuse for Heyward and Minkah not playing like All-Pros in the playoffs?

    TJ isn't going anywhere. They'll get a deal done.

    Scheme? Welp ask the player why he only plays from one spot. That sure limits what you can do scheme-wise.
    Garrett seems to have no qualms playing all over the line.

    What I see in general is more complexity in some teams with respect to their schemes. If you have a more diverse system, you don't have to show all of its facets to the same extent during the regular season. This makes it harder for opponents to study them all on film when prepping for the playoffs. Similarly, if you don't have a lot of variation, it's easier to identify what's being run and try to plan against it.

    This.


    Rather, this statement or make T.J. Watt the highest paid non QB in all of Football. For that matter, Pittsburgh might wanna hurry it up a bit. Dallas will extend Micah before long and Micah himself is looking to become the highest paid non QB. By how much versus Myles Garrett remains anyone's guess.
