I'm not reading the entire thread so I apologize if this has been said. Edmunds sure as hell didn't take away any routes over the middle. All it takes is the QB to glance one direction and Edmunds is running that way. Happened all game and happens every week. The running play in the first quarter where he practically ran past the runner to engage the blocker should have gotten him benched. Any linebacker on the team is better than that (except him, of course). It's a shame because he'll probably end up being a decent outside linebacker for his next team but our staff insists on putting the square peg in the round hole. that was weird....both went with the square peg thing at the same time

We noticed the weird ball spotting early in the game. What the hell was up with that? Don't think it mattered except for the 4th down THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MEASURED but they kept giving them an extra yard on spots.

Him quitting on the route earlier in the game (I believe it was down the seam in the 3rd quarter) when he was held in inexcusable for a guy with his talent. Hope for the penalty but keep playing. Don't start screaming for the flag when the ball is still catchable.

And he certainly may "figure it out" later in his football life. Unfortunately for us, we needed it to be figured out by now.

SO THIS. Brady's going to throw at him early and often. It's what Brady does.

Still it's so odd that so many of our linemen are regressing. Something is (or isn't) going on with coaching.

Sam Bowie was drafted ahead of Michael Jordan because of his gigantic reach. As I frequently remind my wife, size isn't everything.

Agree. And I'm not 100% sure our players are the issue.

I'm a UNC fan. Yes! Give him a shot. Our current RB's are slow, fumble, and have horrible vision. If he's terrible, he's just as good as they are.

I shouldn't write before coffee.

I don't think that's a deal breaker

Keep hearing that Beane hasn't really drafted well because our offensive/defensive line is so bad. Also keep hearing that we have over spent on marginal free agents because they under perform here. Is it possible that once these athletes get hear they're have no direction? I know that not all 280lb men are not the same, but lot's of ours end up looking pretty darn lazy. BTW, Daryl Williams had a few plays Monday that should get him sent home. Low effort can not be tolerated.

He had one really good play. They'll give him an extension.

And Williams looked lazy last night

Last year we used lot's of motion and the Jet Sweep was in the game plan. Something has happened in the office that has caused us to dumb down our offensive game plans.

They can't pass block either. Allen makes their stats look better than they really are.

Well, their defense was better than ours. They only gave up 10 points.

He is the exact same player he was last year and the year before. His game hasn't improved with his age. I think he's old enough now that we can retire the "well, he's only ____yrs old". He's a grown man and just isn't that good.

Yeah. Holy crap Tremaine sucked last night.

He's tradeable but I'd be fine keeping him just to use on passing downs to rush the passer. His days as our middle need to be over.

And why the hell did we take the ball in the second half instead of the wind in the 4th quarter? Belichick just laughs at these other coaches decisions.

HOW CAN ANY HEAD COACH BE THAT BAD AT THAT??

Put him outside on passing downs and tell him to rush the passer, nothing else.

Not running Allen more is kind of like when Mickey had Rocky fight right handed to throw off Apollo, except we forgot to switch back to our strength, which is unleashing Allen in the run game. This entire season's failures fall directly on coaching. Other coaches game plans aren't beating us, we're beating ourselves.

Get a rain suit made for wearing while riding a motorcycle. Load up you pockets with handwarmers and wear a couple of layers. You won't even think about the weather. Not a bad idea to wear some Depends.
