He actually kept the backs in a fair amount, and the TEs were chipping. The problem is that the Texans stayed in man coverage all night and the guys responsible for our backs and TEs utilized that freedom to create simulated pressure, delayed blitzes, and spy Allen when they stayed in. Brady had no answer for that. There was no effective scheme adjustment, and no one on offense was reliably winning their 1v1’s.

Well, with Shaq on one side and Rousseau on the other we’ll really get to see how bad our DTs and LBs are at stopping the run.

Because there isn’t a single receiver on this roster that can reliably beat man coverage in under 3 seconds.

The offensive line hasn’t shown up in any road games besides the Panthers game.

Oh look. Brady realized Cook is a viable weapon that opens up the offense. 🤦‍♂️

It likely doesn’t have an immediate impact on his roster status. Gotta remember that they’re watching the totality of his performance where he was also blocking his ass off which resulted in some of Davis’ return success.

Spitting = fighting words.

That’d be a blast if they tampered. It’d be practically impossible to land a top coach if they lost a bunch of draft picks.

Yup, and if it’s PA or turns into a pass one of the Blitzers muddles their rush and spies Allen. Brady has no real answer for it.

Can’t blame Bishop there

Since when has Tre been one of the most reliable tacklers on the team.

Does Walker lead the team in passes defended?

It’s always QB and trenches first and foremost. If a team is bad at two out of three — QB, OL, DL — they generally top out at a .500 record. When a team is good in all three they’re generally a playoff team regardless of the strength of other position groups. With regards to value at other positions…. Fill in the best talent that you can find because guys like Cook, Gibbs, Jefferson, Chase, etc don’t grow on trees. Get the trenches right, find a QB, get a few playmakers and most competent coordinators should be able to make something positive happen.

McDermott is a good enough play caller to work around some of these issues. However, McD is still going to get caught from time to time with the wrong call solely because of available talent. You can manufacture pressure, run stops, etc, but you have to gamble a bit to pull it off.

Achilles injury coming up
