Oh absolutely. Im not suggesting any of them are the equivalent of Andre Reed. That is interesting.

Chauncey Gardner-Johnson to the Ravens
Scott7975 replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in The Stadium Wall
I thought he was still on the team. Did I miss something? -
I don't have all 22 but I will comment some. For your first part when talking about Brady "throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks..." That kind of aligns with what he said in the presser the other day. Im going to paraphrase here but he said something like "they wanted to see how the pats were going to play/attack us" or something to that effect. As for second half Josh, again I don't have all22, but he didn't have a very good game IMO. I'm sure there are things he would like a redo on and I expect that he will have a better game on the next meetup.

Im currently just looking at his passing charts for this. Excluding week 1 because for some reason that is now blacked out and I can't see it, he is 3/9 plus 1 int beyond 20 yards. He does have a bunch of completions right around the 20 yard line that I have not included. Yeah, I am not looking or saying there should be a large volume of them. I also don't think they should be reserved for just when we need superman but be shots that we take for chunk yards throughout the game. Expecting an offense to be successful just taking dink and dunk plays all game every game is just not going to work against good teams on a regular basis. Not only does it take too much perfection to regularly sustain long drives like that but good defenses can just take that away when they know thats all you are going to do. IMO we don't really have that "and?" guy. Not on the outside anyways. We have that TE guy I believe in Kincaid. We also have that slot guy in Shakir. They may not be the best guys at their position but I do believe they are studs.

Good post. Mostly what I meant in my OP. When I say downfield, I don't necessarily mean chucking hail marys.
-
Thanks. This enticed me to look a little deeper. 10 of those 19 were in week 1. Week 2 he had none. Week 3 he had 1. The last two games split the rest. It goes back to what I was saying... they really only use it when they need to put superman cape on. I think it needs to be part of the regular offense just to keep defenses honest. Every team needs some chunk yards.
-
Even if Josh audibles, he is coached to audible to certain plays based on what he sees.
-
No it's not a bad thing. It's a good thing. I reference it in my op that it needs to be part of our game. Its one dimensional though and if you never attempt the other stuff then they figure out that you are never attempting the other stuff. That makes an already hard thing to do, even harder. Every team needs to occasionally hit at least a couple chunk plays a game.

Man I loved John Brown. Shame he was only good for so short of time. I think Josh has been fine on 20-30 yard plays. When I say downfield thats really the area I am talking about. Even in misses these passes have to be attempted.
-
This is what I think as well. You don't need Tyreek Hill just to have a downfield pass game. I think Josh is told to just take the underneath throw all the way up until we are in trouble and he has to put his cape on to win a game. Dink and dunk may win us some games but its not going to win the big ones.
-
I agree. We need that too! Not really. Even the Prince got downfield passes completed against a pretty good defense last night. This was in crunch time when KC knew it was absolutely coming.
-
I don't know if this is just by Brady's offensive design or if the receivers are all just that bad or what, but we need to be able to pass the ball downfield. Dink and dunk is fine. It also has to be part of our arsenal. It can't be the entire gameplan though. A downfield pass game opens that stuff up more. We have a QB with the biggest cannon in the NFL and we don't even use it anymore. I know people will say that we just don't have any receivers capable of it. I don't really believe that. I see no names all the time catch downfield balls. If it's true then it's true. If thats the case then I as much as I hate to say it... we need Gabe Davis back on the active roster. I don't trust his hands, but the dude has made downfield plays for us. It needs to be part of our arsenal. We aren't going to dink and dunk our way to a superbowl. It takes too much precision and leaves no room for mistakes. Hell, I think this Pats game was the first time I seen Brady take a shot on 2nd and 1 instead of just running the ball to pick up the first down. I been banging the table about that since last year.

The Bills lost their best Fan this morning.
Scott7975 replied to CircleTheWagons99's topic in The Stadium Wall
Sorry for your loss bro. I know how you are feeling. I had to put my best buddy down a few years ago because he had a burst tumor in his stomach. I'm 52 years old and that was the hardest thing in my life I ever had to do. -
He is a good QB. I've said all week he is a good QB. Is he elite? No, thats premature but it's possible if he continues to grow. Yes, he played very well yesterday. Some things were a little lucky. I think he got away with 2 grounding penalties but whatever.

Haven't read through the whole thread but here is the post game Josh and McD interviews in case anyone wants to see them and hasn't. It does seem like even some of our good players have regressed this year. -
