I get what you're saying but...
Brady uses different receiver packages. Some are designed to support the run game, others to stretch the field horizontally, or threaten vertically. Either Coleman is good enough to be on one or more of the personnel groupings, or he's not. If Brady decides he has other players who are better suited for his packages (looking at their individual speed, size, talent, preparation, effort), then Coleman sits.
The calculus of these decisions has shifted. Shavers is proving himself as an all-around good guy. Recently signed Hardman brings speed. Palmer's healthy again. So where does that leave Keon?
I don't think it's a matter of managing Coleman's snap count. I think it's a matter of seeing where he fits - or doesn't.
I did acknowledge that it’s not simply ranking guys, in a nod to packages but my point still was that he went from being active in the most packages to unable to dress…. And maybe Palmer getting healthy plus Gabe truly does replace him in essentially every packageI just think at some point if the guys underwater you start limiting packages and giving a few to others as both a wake up call but a chance to hone a specific craft or two
in a Brady fan but it’s a strange transition. It’s rare to see a WR or DL so drastically shift their platooning

Yes, but it's been reported that he will be inactive again this week.
He was indeed sat for being late to a meeting (for the 2nd time this year). However, while he was sat, Gabe Davis proved to be a much better option than him on the Outside. And Shavers also took a step forward with increased reps.
This week is less about the meeting and more about Davis and Shavers stepping up and improving the Offense. That's the danger of being sat for disciplinary reasons as he was.
If guys show more than what you were showing in increased reps, you could lose your jersey. And that's exactly what's happened here. After last week, why would you dress Coleman over Davis, Palmer, or Shavers on the Outside?
but isn’t that why weeks 7-12 a guy like shavers should have been shifting reps progressively?is our WR1 by snap count such a specific role that it took Gabe getting healthy to make a shift?

I’d struggle with the decision to bring him from essentially WR1 by snap count to no jersey at all after a one game suspension for conduct.
I know there are various roles and it’s not just plug and play 1-2-3-4-5-6…. but to go from 1 to like 7 instantly for on field performance feels like an indictment of his share immediately proceeding the discipline.
it just feels very all or nothing? Like maybe we limit his reps for a stretch?

No one’s newly brought him up for me to complain about people bringing him up so I’m going to proactively bring him up myself to complain that people used to bring him up

That’s the thing….they’re great at winning two out of three, but that doesn’t win Super Bowls….
yea, but if you can win 2 out of 3 against contenders, all it takes is a little dumb luck to get a ring. We have just had none of that luck even when we were a 3 out of 4 team -
They can win one.
they can beat anybody
but it’ll be a struggle to string 4 games without some real luck

I’ll say this- if we traded McDermott for a quality starting wr…. I think we’d see Brady call games very differently

That's because the Bills tried to force him to be a #2 WR instead of a #4 WR
and now people are saying we are benching our WR getting the most reps, and at worst our WR2 currently, for Gabe Davis…. -

Well, if they ball out in spite of the weather, that would be saying something.
Who knows, last year the excuse was Keon is only 20 years old. Maybe this offseason, the excuse will be he is still only 21 years old.
no, in perpetuity WRs get “moulds didn’t break out until year three”linebackers are 14 years old and will grow into the game when they hit puberty
you have to keep your stories straight

I wouldn’t say that. LSU could come calling.
I don’t think he’s a college guy. Recruiting and boosters are a whole different ballgame. -

I don’t even want to see Keon play again. Period. Imagine all the times Josh looked his way, couldn’t trust a throw because he was covered, had no time to go through progressions and took a sack or a no yardage play.
honestly, that may be part of the Josh issue.
he’s playing much more like he did when Gabe was his wr1 and I didn’t think Gabe was very qb friendly either.
unfortunately that seems to be our plan b too

Whether it's the balls or the conditioning/evolution of kickers I'm not a fan of the long FGs. Narrowing the goal posts would be a good next step. But the NFL and it's fans love the drama of the down-to-the-wire games so I won't hold my breath expecting changes.
or raising the cross bar!-

It sounds like he’s a real mixed bag. Players here seemed to like him but when you are winning….
that article was so messy that I don’t doubt he had issues but of what scope who knows. Having the preview/header lead with that he exploded and threatened Kafka then to in the next paragraph elaborate that it was threatening to take over playcalling was bush league. Likewise citing that he “gave a death stare” to a coordinator on the sideline once a few years ago.
no doubt he had blow ups but if a dirty look during a game 3-4 years ago was in the top ten list it all seems forced to create a narrative coming from the organization.
he sucked in the role, and losers end up with their story told by others.

Yep, that was a brutal hit he took. He looked like a rookie on that play not protecting himself better and his play is way down from his elite rookie year. The Texans great comeback last week was enginered by Davis Mills, a perennial; QB backup. I dont "fear" CJ anymore at all.
No, that was Davis <ills that had that heroic comeback, not CH.
I posted here a few times that his rookie outcomes were far above his rookie performance.
I don’t recall details offhand but many turnover worthy passes that were dropped. Receivers catching a higher rate of off target passes than usual etc…
the advanced stats were really bad compared to the actual

My guess is he failed his concussion tests, and they will start him the absolute instant he passes and even earlier if they can find a way to get him through illegally

Uh oh
are the options kiffin, kliff kingsbury and klint kubiak?

Part of the problem here is people have a tough time detaching from the drought. Obviously they hired a bunch of average to bad coaches in that time. Not one of them had Josh Allen though. What would Chan Gailey look like with Josh? The downside risk just isn’t there to keep status quo. We have 5 or so years of prime Josh left. You can’t miss this window IMO or you might not get one. They’ve already let it get too far IMO.
yea- it’s practically no risk and who knows, maybe upside
I can only imagine what Chan would do with Josh

Of course not!
I think the difference between us is that I have faith in this regime to win a Super Bowl or more than just one.
it’s something that literally no other staff has done. They unsuccessfully navigated several cap advantaged seasons without that accomplishment, but maybe their first will be with a lesser roster and voices growing old in the room. It would be a reinvention of leadership never before seen in the nfl. Do we think McD is that guy?-

Moore is a technician. He’s grossly underrated. Trot out Moore Palmer Shakir with Gabe sprinkled in and you have at least an average group.
thats honestly not an average group yet but its less bad-

Add to this list he played like crap. Dude shouldn't be immune from criticism. Glad to see Kubiak call him out when it's warranted.
of course.
Jordan missed plenty of shots, and Brady lost a bunch of games.
these are human beings.
I think it’s totally fine to call plays they miss.
though my expectations aren’t perfection and I don’t think he is the primary overarching issue with this season unless we are accepting that the only plan was the we have super man and he can just turn it on and off at will.
2 minutes ago, Casey D said:OK.. When Josh is playing in-system, the passing game can be a solid B. When he does not, it is a D. No A grade because of limitations in the receiving corps, but when it is at below B, some of the fault lies with Josh. And it seems the further below a B it is, the more it is Josh not playing up to his standards, not because the receivers just suck. Agree?
why can’t the receivers also play towards their floor and not their ceiling?
especially missing Palmer/kincaid

Does anyone else think that limiting Cook might have been intentional because he injured his ankle the previous week?

I don't want to hear about how he needs a month before even considering playing him.
Let Josh tell him "just get open" and START HIM. I don't care. DO IT.
He's also an instant upgrade at KR / PR
the problem is he’s not actually better than our top few guysif we want him to return and take 5-10 snaps on offense - I’m not mad about it but it’s not revamping our attack

I wonder if Beane understands this reeks of desperation at this point? Hardman? Seriously? Another KC castoff?
Will probably work out as well as MVS.
if the options today are desperation or arrogance, let’s at least have him in the pipeline practicing
According to Cover 1, Coleman will be a healthy scratch (rumored for Texans game too)

paired with doing it at premium positions that are also positions of need…
it’s very boom or bust in strategy - which I get is the way you find a premium DE, WR, or CB as a perennially strong team…. But hurts bad when it’s also immediate need based and misses
