I would expect a player who is known as a “receiving back” to make that play. It’s a fundamentals issue. Elbows need to stay together so you have maximum leverage at the hands, when they are out wide, you have to hope to stop the whole force by timing a perfect pinch of the ball. He CAN clean that up, but will he? Thats another question all together. Until he gets it sorted out, I’d just try to keep that off his route tree.

The list of teams that “just keep winning” are the list of teams that keep losing when it counts too. Interesting, the SB winning teams still all fall to OCs. The rest really aren’t even that good. The only teams you can argue for are Lions (who will lose their OC this year) and the Texans, who again, will have to start over on offense after this year. The rest of the teams suck because they can’t score when it counts.

No they won’t, look how many times people fell for the Parcells, Belicheck etc coaching tree. This league is desperate for talented coaches, Brady has been around long enough to have his own reputation AND the team got better as soon as he took over.

This is so spot on. He’s been very good in the ones he can look in, that wheel route is just not for him. I have been a critic of him/the pick of him, but he’s been really good this year, can’t deny it. He has a hole in his hands when he has to make the over the shoulder catch, easiest solution is to not put him in that situation.

Fair counter point, BUT would you rather put your eggs in Josh Allen’s basket or in any defense’s basket? All I have to do is look at the SB winning teams (for that matter participants), it’s offensively lead teams that are there and winning. I know people will try to claim Belicheck was a D guy, but the offense didn’t change regardless of who was calling the plays, we all know it was his system and Brady was the other component to that who was basically a coach on the field. Aside from all of that if you measure Josh Allen vs the continued failures of the Defensive “genius’” defense in clutch moments in the playoffs and I would rather have the offense stay consistent. McD has done an incredible job with what he has been working with, I am very impressed. Josh has been forced to work with multiple coordinators because he continues to make them look great, that’s a recipe for zero consistency.

0 ints for Allen Cook looking like a true stud RB Defense playing lights out without a starting LB or starting caliber S (for anybody but McD) in sight. 3-0 start with the toughest game being AZ.

I agree Daniels looks good, but Maye not starting isn’t necessarily an indication of anything more than the Pats knew they were taking a guy who wasn’t quite ready to go and are doing him a favor of not throwing him to the wolves out of the gate. There was a time, not that long ago, where it was common practice for QBs to sit and learn before being handed the reins. I would argue in most cases, that’s still the best way to do it. Too many guys are playing before they are ready and have their confidence rocked. It takes a special player to jump in and produce right away AND maintain that. There have not been many rookie sensations at QB that have lasted more than a season, the more common path is to struggle and be a nobody or struggle and take 3 years to become somebody. For every Striud there are 6 Bryce Youngs and for every Josh Allen, there are 50 wrong Josh’s. QBs don’t grow on trees and developing them has worked out more than throwing them out there. I hate the Pats, but I think they are doing the right thing.

This is the problem with a defensive coach and a superstar QB.

Nah Mahomes, Jackson are guaranteed spots , there will be other mediocre performers to get the nod for 3rd string, like Lawrence. Josh might get MVP, All Pro and still not make the popularity contest.

Kincaid for President!

The only issue I see here is our own team knows how to beat our D, run the ball. It’s not a secret and our D is not very good at stopping the run. I do believe there is a need for bigger LBs, love Bernard and Milano, but I’d also love to actually have the starters on the field once in a while and that’s just not happening.

Well said, George lived on reputation from College. I looked at him and Antoine Smith (remember him? Don’t blame you if you don’t) as the same guy. The only difference is the Bills knew enough to not pay him just bc he was a first round pick. Super unimpressive players. Holmes was a legit PROBLEM. Him, Natron Means was another bad dude as was Jamaal Williams. I miss that type of run you over or leave you in the dust type of back. The only thing we have seen recently that’s remotely close is Henry, but the guy runs leaning backwards so even as big as he is, he can be stood up easily. Peterson was a monster too, but also a high runner. I think the HOF has become exactly what it’s named. Hall of FAME. Note that it doesn’t say, Hall of All Time Great Players, though I feel that’s what it WAS, now it’s about name recognition/fame. There have been a number of guys that made it in that I don’t feel belong based on play, but they were/are household names.

Great call on Evans. Perhaps the most under appreciated WR ever.

He better get to producing or he’s going to be a sad man over giving up those guarantees

Calais Campbell has been outstanding his whole career, though never a super star, always very disruptive. Also have been on the Minshew train since college, love the guy.

Ehh, I think you forget, there was a long time when Carr was widely considered a top 10 QB. He’s not bad when he’s comfortable. This team has the weapons to make him look pretty darn good.

Idk, I think it takes them to 0-5 to drop out of the top 10

Yeah, he looks to be in the all too typical sloooowwww start to his season. Hurts really isn’t much better.

I have only watched a few games, but if Dalton is an upgrade… yikes..

This is absolutely nuts to me, it seems like there might be more to this story, nobody gives up on a first overall pick after 2 games in their second season in a garbage team.

Well F

He had no KNOWN/reported concussions last season. However, his play was pretty awful at the end of the year, do we know he wasn’t messed up and hiding it? He’s had so many known concussions at this point, he really should stop, but we’ll see what he chooses to do.

There is an UBER Shuttle that picks up and drops off in a couple of places, the shuttle gets you way closer. Personally, I’d just rent a car and go that route.

That walk was insane. For anyone who makes a trip there in the future DO NOT take rideshare to that stadium. It’s a legit 45 min walk to the stadium and we were hustling. Even better the end of the game it cost me $145 to get back to my hotel. It’s a ***** show.

I do not want to see guys get hit the way he did, but you have to love Shakir’s toughness, holding on to the ball while getting drilled and popping right up to run back to the huddle, looks like an old school WR. He’s quickly turning into on of my favorite players on the squad.
