Our offense has real issues, mainly the OLine and WRs not named Diggs. But the reaction to today's offensive performance is off the mark. It was a sneaky good game from Allen in those conditions. If the many drops we're even cut in half...I guess maybe im saying it was a good Allen performance than it was a good offensive performance.
Saffold. Blegh.
This offense is absolutely screaming for a good slot receiver. Yes the OLine sucks and a possession outside WR2 would add a lot as well....but man, a Beasley from 2 years ago would change a hell of a lot.
I think this was a sneaky good game from Josh. Give him some help dammit. OLine was often rough, McKenzie with brutal drops. Sure, a few balls were poorly placed...but those footballs were slick.
I realize I'm in the minority, but I've never disliked Mayfield. His competitive spirit is there. The walk-on stuff is admirable. But I wonder what happens to his career from here.
Yes there was much discussion about it. He played great...until that hit. I'm not one for farfetched theories but I admit I think Josh was hiding a concussion. I was mildly surprised they didn't evaluate him after that play when I watched it live.
But I digress. I do think McBeane have created a really player friendly culture.
I don't think he's bad at this, but I think he's got a lot of room for growth. When he can learn to take every inch available a la Fred Jackson or Singletary, he will be a fantastic piece. Really excited about Cook.
I'm projecting about what I expected his impact would have become, of course. But I think he's shown a knack for soft spots in zone over his career that would have helped move the chains.
Very much hoping we get the one year rental. Not going to guess at odds that it happens, but oh man this team is crying out for a competent possession receiver to help Diggs.
Dorsey has shown less creativity than I'd hoped for, and the scheme certainly doesn't seem to make anything easy for Josh.
It's always hard to tell as a fan, of course.
Gritty. Ill take it. Pray for Von and Dion. Boy I hope we get to see the team healthy again at some point. Our offensive line is milquetoast even at full strength...the depth is brutal.
