NoSaint

I think it’s a huge factor that is being neglected. Has to love josh as an asset - but if he isn’t ready to manage a full offensive staff solo (and also maybe additionally lose some of his trusted guys to daboll), rework scheme and play call solo, or revamp a playbook during the off-season solo…. It’s not hard to imagine he would follow his trusted superior for his next step instead of taking the better opportunity that lands 100% on his shoulders.

the easiest answer: maybe he doesn’t feel ready to run the show on his own and likes the safety blanket of daboll in the room to coach him through some of the learning curve, help him stock the position coaches, provide a lot of playbook and play calling support etc… a lot of posters are jumping to “he must hate McD” but I think having a safety net might be the real thing.

or he’s just loyal to his guy

to both sides nonetheless

hand in hand. 13 seconds gives 2 two active plays and a fga a kick return and single pass is the most reliable way to avoid giving up points in 2 touches. Sure you could’ve seen a freak throw ala the diggs catch in minny to knock out the Saints… but almost certainly not

playing against a team like kc nothing is going to always work.

because we’d rather he run than complete long passes

A run back to the 40 takes longer than a touchback and 15 yard pass

rush 3, 3 deep safeties and 5 across underneath making life tough on the receivers. Squib and do anything to slow down with play and we are hosting this week

Gronk?

I mean, I can’t be upset at the offense and passing game, right? If we were struggling and never tried to feed diggs I’d have more questions.

we won’t be the same unit next year he was visiting with former teammates and now regular and respected opponents he may be retiring but to say it based off those items is finding pieces that fit what you are looking to see

What discussion have you seen this lost in?!?

right but I think we are tired of being fine and want to be champions

with timeouts still on the board… we would love slow time consuming out routes. A fly route up the hash is KCs optimal play call

Nor is Mitch

so what your saying is you are seeking attention more than anyone’s input?

If dismissing anyone who isn’t an nfl player with the same injury - what discussion were you hoping to start here?

im starting to get the impression it is!

It’s light small talk. I don’t think anyone’s hyperventilating over it or anything. if anything I think the folks saying it’s nothing have been the more dramatic crowd in this thread

Scathing is a bit much unless your skin is wet tissue paper levels of thin

a few questions: why do you assume the team cleared his off day behavior? Sure we don’t have a right to know their behavior- but when they do things publicly why wouldn’t we chat about the risk or reward? why would we ever have confidence that players are making optimal off field decisions?!?

cam and Watson don’t have too much in common currently

its not. But i wouldn’t want him eating leftover sushi or snowboarding this week either. if he pops positive and we lose a couple guys it would be unfortunate and preventable by common sense. The next month should be pretty much a bubble for the guys. If he had to travel, private plane, box with his family and not out in a crowd of fans, right? That’s not politics- that’s common sense on what might be the best chance of his career to get a ring. says the fan of a football team

surely he knew it but going 100 mph you aren’t thinking. Coach should’ve reminded him with the call… “hey it’s a keeper, get down before 15 yards and hand the ball to the ref so he can spot it”
