    It sure is easy to get rid of a solid core of receivers in one year though wont it?  Say what you want about Woods, Goodwin, Watkins and others, they were all better than what we have

     

    I wish we still had Woods. He is building a nice career for himself. We still need a legitimate #1 WR here and this draft has a solid receiving class. Benjamin could make a decent #2 if he plays like he has the past 2 weeks. His catch radius is more valuable in a league where defenders can't play the receiver. Just throw it a little high and he can stand there and grab it without any defenders having a chance on the ball.

  2. This is the first game that makes me really question Daboll. At first I attributed our problems to a rookie QB, but now you have a veteran who was making pretty good reads and throws before the game got out of control. And we just kept running the ball for no yards. I don't get it. The modern NFL is not set up for a run heavy offense. You don't run to set up the pass anymore. Sure if you're getting chunks on rushes, keep running the ball. But if it isn't working you should immediately start passing the ball constantly. It is so easy for receivers like Kelvin Benjamin to make plays with modern rules. He can just stand there and reach up for the ball and defenders can't touch him. You can throw a swing pass to a RB and get 5 yards a lot easier than you can if you hand it off to him. That's what NFL offenses are now. And there's Daboll calling runs up the middle on 1st and 2nd down. Defenses can only do so much with the rules the way they are. Sometimes your offense needs to make plays to stay on the field and ours isn't getting it done because of cowardly play calling. The biggest problem today on either side of the ball was Daboll IMO.

    I understand what you're saying, I just wish it was all done last year. This year has been so mismanaged in my opinion by them, it's another topic though

     

    I'm not anointing McDermott and Beane by any means. They have made some really good decisions and some really bad decisions. I've seen flashes of a great regime but it's going to take a couple years to know for sure one way or the othet. They didn't accidentally walk into a mountain of dead cap, this season was always going to suck. Next season will be extremely important for the future of McDermott and Beane because the fair excuses will be gone.
