Beane is always on the move. Shady could help Pitt short term and see little drop off from Bell. We have money to extend Bell next year...
I just can't see bell playing in Pittsburgh again now that hes not reporting and team has turned. He will end up somewhere....and we have something they may desire.
I think it was without rain as I think ravens are waaaaay overrated but that's just me.
I think our run game is our strength and I believe we can grind it out in the rain and get a W better than most. Shady isnt afraid of the snow or rain as we know.
Thoughts? Weather even the playing field?
I can't wait until we beat the ravens. They won 9 games just like us last year based on Turnovers. Just like us. Have they gotten better. Not much. They suck.
Peterman 21 of 31 for 257 yards. 2tds, 0 picks, 1 win. Bill's 24 ravens 17
No. I'm saying that more mentally. Throw a guy in with big expectations and a terrible supporting cast and sometimes you get matt Stafford. Other times you get Joey Harrington. Mentally Allen wont ge broken with our approach at least.
The real question should be...who will be more broken for 2019. To that my answer is darnold. Darnold is going into this year like Joey Harrington was back in the day for the lions. Supporting cast questionable. Pressure on. And similar college skill sets.
If he isnt mentally tough...they could break him this year.
I started a thread on this exact thing. It's a good play. Practice squad foster for week 1. Sign perriman and tell him to run real fast 10 times against his former team.
Why?
1. Daboll - even watch his offensive system. Quick hits, uses the backs and screens to slow rush etc. Peterman is a good QB for his system because he gets rid of the ball quickly.
2. Shady - hes the best friend of an o-line. In preseason no one was respecting the run (and Murphy made them pay a few times). No one was respecting the cutback. No one respecting the outside runs etc. When shady is in the game you can't just rush up the field like they were in the preseason...shady will take one to the house if you do.
3. 4 TEs - I expect a lot of chipping from the tight ends like we saw in the first game of preseason. We have 4 solid TEs all of which cam block...so expect a lot of help from the TEs in pass protection. Chip and release for 5 yards a lot.
Preseason is just that. The pre season. I dont think they will be near as bad week 1. Their a run blocking unit and daboll will call an offense that supports that.
I think we keep coleman and zay until we can find a replacement. After the cuts we may find someone who has some speed in the slot then we part with them.
My surprises are O'Leary and vonte.
