  1. Glad they got under his skin to be honest.  LOL

     

    These are valid concerns, they haven't drafted enough WRs, but they haven't drafted well on DL either, so we are doing catch up because of past mistakes, which falls on Beane.  Anyway, I like hearing discussion like this, even if he's super defensive about it.

  2. I saw Horton play against Colorado the previous year, that kid ran the same route for the vast majority of the game, shallow cross (something this team does a lot of with their mesh wheel concepts), and he absolutely roasted them all game long, had some deeper stuff too.  He really stood out that game, like they couldn't do anything to really slow him down, they knew the ball was going to him but he still got open.  Was fun to watch.

    Rarely does criticism come from someone better than you....

    Monos was director of personnel for the Bills 2013-2017. Let's look at the track record:


    2013: Ej Manuel, Robert Woods, Kiko, Marquis Goodwin, Duke Williams, Jonathan Meeks Dustin Hopkins, Chris Gragg
    2014: Sammy Watkins, Cyry Kouandijo, Preston Brown, Ross Cockrell, Cyril Richardson, Randell Johnson, Seantrel Hendersen
    2015: Ronald Darby, John Miller, Karlos Williams, Tony Steward, Nick O'Leary, Dezmin Lewis
    2016: Shaq Lawson, Reggie Ragland, Adolphus Washington, Cardale Jones, Jonathan Williams, Kolby Listree, Kevon Semour
    2017: Tre White, Zay Jones, Dion Dawkins, Matt Milano, Natah Peterman, Tanner Vallejo

     

    One good draft class in 5 tries.

     

     

    Yeah, he sucked too.

    Probably the most simplified post ever....

     

    Everyone wants to point to "scheme".  It's called the Eagles have all pro talent at every level, and an amazingly talented dline.

     

    Fangio is playing his exact scheme he deployed in past stops, most recently Miami.  

     

    They mixed man/zone all night.  But the key was the dline play.  Collapsed the pocket/suffocated the run game.  They could stay in 2 high looks and press, because of their dline and speed/talent at corner.

     

    Amazing what happens to a defense that went from 28th to best in NFL---- Baun, DL acquisitions, and Mitchell/Coop.  They have crushed recent drafts, 3-4 critical upgrades to a defense that was injured LY and needed to improve at Cb and Safety.

     

    TL/DR: you can't coach speed/talent into a player.  Fangio is a clear upgrade to their staff, but he's not better than Babich/McD.  Put us with that talent and see what happens.

     

    Lot of truth here, not to take anything away from Fangio, but it's sometimes more Jimmy and Joes than X's and O's.  DL just wrecked things, and when you can get pressure generated at a 50%+ rate while only rushing 4 and dropping 7 good things happen.

     

    Lets look at the below.

     

    Baun on Worthy, is that a good scheme, no it's probably an easy touchdown, but Mahomes has no time to throw/rushes to get out of pocket.  It's also soft coverage, no press man like OP described.  Not saying they didnt press at times, but it was much more nuanced.

  5. As good as our OL coach is, thats how bad I feel our DL coach is.  We've developed talent on OL, DL, not so much, lot of picks spent, not much to show for it besides Greg, and I think Greg leaves a lot of meat on the bone.

    I honestly put more blame on Beane than McD. Aside from Josh, it's not an overly talented roster. 

     

    I was kinda hoping Brady got poached by the Saints. I'm just not a huge believer in his ability to consistently create mismatches with his scheme and play calling. I think he relies way too much on Josh putting his body on the line. 

     

    I have to agree here.  We have too many first round selections not doing enough, Greg R the most consistent of the bunch.  Very little talent between the ends on the DL. 

     

    We have some decent pass catchers, but too often when we intend to run they are not on the field, they just roll with Coleman/Hollins because they're good blockers which I understand but boy down the stretch it seemed predictable and it makes any playaction predictable. 

     

    Coaches can do a better job, but for sure the front office hasn't hit enough.

  7. I just have one question.  We played with heavy sets tonight.  We have what we think are two capable TEs.  I know Kincaid isn't a great blocker, but how on earth are we not getting them some good looks off playaction considering how run heavy we were?  Been a thing all season.  Complimentary football is having complimentary playcalls.  You can't just run the ball against loaded boxes if you don't have a compliment of pass plays when they counter to stop the run.  Thats my biggest beef with the O all season, it feels like we run so much and yet can't take advantage via playaction, we don't play action enough period.

  8. We only passed 22 times, a few of those were throwaways.   Honestly, this offense became way too conservative in the 2nd half, too much running.  Up 11 points and we were running in heavy formations against heavy boxes.  Frankly, we were fortunate tonight.  Could have been an epic choke on our end because we took the ball out of Allen's hands.

  9. Good kid, but he's going to really need to work on his game, if it's even possible, to make a big jump and be that dude.  I also don't think he fits well outside, he does well after catch, put him in the slot.  Outside he's trying to release like he's playing basketball, that doesn't work as well from my point of view, works better in the slot where WRs have more two way goes.

  10. Look he's getting wide open, ther

    A few of those should have been big plays downfield but Worthy doesnt know where the sideline is.  Mahomes didn't need throw those as close to the boundary as he did on at least one, however.

    Mostly bad passes is what I saw, less on the receiver.

     

    I think we can agree on one thing, lets hope they keep missing these shots, because the guy is getting wide open for big plays, and they're not hitting them.  Hopefully it stays that way because getting open isn't the problem.
