Pitt Panthers coach was on moving the chains and it was indicated Dane and other corners out of Pitt are more NFL ready because Pitt plays man 90 percent of the time. Maybe recruit out of Pitt or other schools that play man. Seems like it would be a good recruiting tool for these schools to feature man coverage.
Pat Narduzzi the Pitt Panthers coach commented on Moving the Chains yesterday that all of the offenses late in the season last year consistently attacked “the other corner” not Dane Jackson. Looks like the front office agreed with that assessment.
When we played the Falcons this last year I was like “Wow the difference between our Josh and this other supposed franchise quarterback is stark.” Reich should be able to get them to 10-11 wins with Ryan nonetheless. He’s better that what they’ve had.
I rated the edge rushers 1 chandler, 2 Miller, 3 Mack in terms of run stopping, recent production and injury-proneness. Would have preferred Jones, but am okay with miller.
They had a working formula last year but it just did not work. Not one of 7-8 guys was able to get to Mahomes the one time that was needed. Need to go all in for one big time pass rusher.
Last year we basically had seven or eight guys, including Obada, that could potentially get to the QB at the critical time and none got to Mahomes at the critical time. Need to sell the farm for chandler.
With the ACL it’s fair to conjecture whether Tre will return to true number 1 corner status. In fact penciling him as “above average” for 2022 would be fair.
I can’t believe the salary these guys get for being just slightly better than average, or below average like Collinsworth. Maybe it’s because it’s so easy to be horrendous at (Witten).
