Nah, wrong route and an int. Will bench Shakir instead. Gabe will lead the group in snaps.

Meh. THAT wasn’t the unreasonable pass.

On paper it’s a 3rd down conversion but that was a horrific series

2nd and 20, 3 yard pass

If McD hired the right guy you aren’t replacing a Super Bowl winning head coach

it’s still Thursday night football so maybe not great

That, and 200m of cap savings the next 4 years, so you can add major pieces around him. it’s not whether stroud is better but whether a good young qb with minimal cap hit is more likely to end up with a ring than a fully matured roster with expensive qb.

its generally an nflpa negotiated schedule for most basic fines

kyler will likely steal a win or two. Just enough to be frustrating.

interceptions tend to be tied to pressure fumbles can have some coaching but fumble recoveries once on the ground tend to be dumb luck if you are getting a ton of picks without pressure, or recovering a high percentage of fumbles, expect those to regress.

high picks is a relative term- outside von, they are all second and third tier. These are not top 10 elite investments and DE is a bit like qb- it’s hard to get them outside top picks

it’s the manning/colts model. Get a lead, rush the passer and hope for a couple turnovers. forcing the defense to play stout against the run and pass seems like worst case scenario

complementary football for this squad would be getting fast leads and hoping our safeties can ball hawk. Let edge rushers (and guys like ed o and Phillips) get up field. If the defense is going to be crippled by injury, let’s let these guys play more 1 dimensionally

it’s the gap between celebrating with your teammates vs towards an opponent. It’s been a point of emphasis for a few years. I think back in 2021(?) it was a pretty heavy topic with a ton of flags for guys spinning the ball towards opponents, flexing while facing the opponents sideline and the tyreek situation. The simplest is go be happy for your accomplishments without addressing the guys on the other side. that Said, they created a monster with those 20 player 80 yard dashes to the camera

I think he would like to see his defense face 7 drives instead of 9 drives

yea, like Brady and manning didn’t fix their flawed dual threat running skills… oh, wait, you wouldn’t put them in a scheme relying on their speed because no qb is a robot that does 100% at all world levels so you play to what they do at those levels. it was a very strange sequence of comments

what type of football do you think he’s referring to when saying complementary football? ball control and lower scoring old school wins or High flying so the defense can forget about the run aka Indy with Payton and the tampa 2?

to be fair, they given you no opportunity to see what he could do

Don’t forget fans needing to manage expectations? I think a little of all 3 issues depending on the player. honestly, I framed sherfield as a backup guy that we needed. Not producing a ton unless diggs or Davis missed time. I think that’s held true. I thought harty would take over the whole mckenzie/Hines package. I’m now realizing that package may not have existed with Dorsey. That’s a real disappointment. I think he’d be great going horizontally, on crossers or end arounds… or out of the backfield on wheel routes. Get him against a linebacker and let him run away.

It’s not great, it’s not the worst but little is done to help them

achane is drafted later, injured, and has less than 40 carries. Mostert is 31 and has 3k career yards. That we are not using cook as well is not the same as being the worst back. There lays my argument. durham smythe in Miami isn’t a better TE. The dolphins line wasnt great and they are down 2 starters. We are arguably better Better qb id take tyreek over diggs but we aren’t talking an embarrassing gap there we added their wr3 to be our wr3/4/5(?) is waddle vs Davis enough that Dorsey just doesn’t have to have expectations? The dolphins surely scheme better releases for receivers, creative running attacks and generally stress defenses much more than Dorsey does on a schematic level. It’s not just talent.

challenge: Miami, SF, us, kc josh is probably 2nd among tua, purdy, mahomes, cook is likely behind cmc but otherwise? our TE situation is interesting in that we likely have the 3rd and 4th best in the group, assuming Kelce hasn’t hit a wall WR 1 is likely second best? WR2 is a weakness, but likely in line with kc offensive design? Solidly 4th. By a gap. let’s not pretend that we are out on left field barely surviving on skill position talent. Having those 3 ahead mean he’s not top 10%. I bet we could crowdsource another 3-6 without a ton of stress or debate and 6 more would mean he’s not too 30%. the guy has a long career ahead. He is the limitation currently though.

I see that we have production but define “creativity” or “innovation” in that chart vs “possibly the most versatile qb in football” as an example of why I don’t think this addresses the topic.

im sorry but I do feel our passing concepts are dated when you compare to the teams actually on the leading edge. And moving the wrong direction at that. compared to bills teams past, sure but compared to the shanahans, Reid’s and McDaniel’s of the nfl…. Not so creative.

they all are long leashes until they are not. Especially if the coach has not given the owner a ring to make it permanent
