There are so many questions:
How conservative is the game plan?
How much latitude are they giving a Rookie at the line of scrimmage? NP has shown the ability to make pre snap reads that seems to already surpass TT. Kinda getting sick of seeing Shady tackled for a loss.
Does NP rise to this occasion? There has been no pressure on him till now and he’s appeared fairly composed. Does being a starter change this. Does a bad play or series change this.
How does the Oline and receiving Corp react to him.
After this weekend we will be able to answer these questions better but I know this. I haven’t looked forward to a game like this for a while.
17 of 25 for 225.
1 TD, O int. If he does have a pick it’s because our receiver initiates a tip drill.
YAC will be better than we’ve seen, markedly.
Run game will be 175 including 20+ from QB
Where is the Tyrod breakdown?
A bunch of us saw him for who he was before LAST season even started.
In terms of Peterman, I think we will see by the end of this year and some of us will have a fairly decent idea.
I want the kid to do well but if he is only competent then we need to take a QB early next year.
This isn’t about playoffs for me. This is about seeing what we have over a decent period of time to plan for next years draft.
If he is GOOD. That would be awesome but I definitely reserve judgement a t this point.
Exactly.
I wasn’t singing the praises of Rob Johnson.
In retrospect he was clearly a bum.
But, when it’s time to move on and it happens hope springs anew.
1999 Bills 24 th in pass attempts
19 in Yards passing
2 in rushing attempts
8 in yards rushing.
The mediocre Titans D Held The:
# 4 Colts Off. To 16 points
# 7 Jags Off. To 14 points
# 1 Rams Off. To 23 points
Flutie like Tyrod Taylor needed to go as neither were ever going to take my favorite team to the promised land.
The DEFENSE got those wins, just like TT being handed multiple short field earlier this year.
Flutie couldn’t throw a ten yard out by the end of that season.
That was a great game featuring two very good defenses.
When I think Flutie and playoffs I think of interceptions in the Endzone and walking off the field a Loser.
Getting the ball out quickly negates the rush.
If NP only throws short, I don’t think that helps the run.
If he can have some success in the intermediate area 10-25 then they have to back off. Which comes back to the O line and how much it is to blame and how much TT was.
They might just have the desire to hold their blocks if it is leading to success.
Oh, The members of the Cult must be suffering in this darkest of days for them.
” The stats, the lack of interceptions, those wheels?”
If those of us who aren’t in theCult would just see????
Steve Wills definitely blitzes more.
Last year was just a post SB hangover year with Cam playing hurt. They are starting to figure it out and hit their stride with all facets of the Veteran team contributing.
The NFC South is a quality division which causes them all to stay decent. I’m betting it takes 11 wins to take the South.
