He was? We know this?

It really is all very odd. I specifically remember Josh saying he didn't know he was as fast as he is in the NFL. He attributes his speed to combine prep and actually working on form and speed, as he had never done before. ...then this performance 😅

Josh doing Josh things in any uniform probably looks spectacular.

Hell, just drink a couple protein shakes a day. May as well pull a pipe cleaner through your digestive tract.

I expect them to do it with the full 90s uniform.

I agree. I just really want to see the red helmet as a throwback. White helmets are my favorite uniform ever in football.

Ugh. We've known this. I thought you were saying the red helmet was definitely making an appearance.

Most accurate thing I've read in a while.

Not if you're re-signing to play for McDermott!!!

I'd also like to point out that, while many want to point to similar offenses to insinuate favoritism, they aren't the same level of offense. Singletary gets the ball punched out and stays in. Moss has a lapse of concentration on a hand-off, and Mckenzie gives up the ball on his own. I believe Breida was also benched for simply coughing the ball up uncontested. Being the victim of a good play is a much different situation than demonstrating lack of focus. The latter is a reason to sit down and get your head in the game.

16. Close enough I guess.

With all the people questioning McD for holding people accountable, and not undermining the leaders on his team to go "grab Bass by the face mask and scream 'squib the ball!' at him," I think it's likely that the average age of poster on here is not as high as I generally assume.

Mrs T is more polish than you'll ever be!!! I'll likely have my typical post-workout meal. ...MAYBE I'll get Doordash. And then MAYBE I'll watch the game.

This comment represents a conflict of interest and is, therefore, invalid.

Yeah. Watching Willis's highlights I saw some nice 30 yard posts where he fit the ball in with some velocity. Never, ever, have I seen a QB rip a frozen rope from 40 yards out, in less than 1.5 seconds like Josh did in preseason to Gabe, and against the Broncos to Kumerow. He doesn't step into his long throws, usually, and only took a step to hit Davis on that 65-yarder. His longest throw is 85 air yards (not in-game), and I'm willing to bet that, in Denver, he could hit 90. His arm strength is other-worldly. It'll be a long time before we see a stronger arm- if we ever do. I don't get that one. Watching the highlights he runs a lot like Josh. Picks up speed around the corner, big strides when he gets moving, breaks tackles, gets caught from behind.

Yeah. Something clicked for him. Something big. ...SSJ2?

Same.

I don't know how in-depth they get, but I know when coaches get hired they typically call up the QB of that side of the ball (i.e. a new OC calls up the QB and a new DC calls up the MLB or whatever leader on D). I'm sure that's not just to say, "hi I'm the new OC. How's the fam?" They almost definitely talk about their philosophy and plans moving forward. I'm sure the coach can't like, assign any work, but the player probably gets an idea of what what they should start looking at, if they so choose. ...all speculation. I don't have the rule book in front of me. Hopefully this is useful, contextually.

4.63s for a corner? Lol. McD really is a CB whisperer.

Roman was fired and Lynn promoted specifically for play-calling purposes. The hope was that Lynn would recognize the situation and call the plays faster. There was no proof that he would, but he certainly showed that after the promotion. But the point is, Lynn's limited stint as an OC was specifically evaluated on his ability to call plays. ...and that makes sense, since, as you said, he didn't even do the design side of things.

True. I was a little confused by that post. Sure Allen gets down and out of the way more than Cam, but when he knows he needs another yard, he not only stays up, but he punishes whoever tries to tackle him. Didn't he stiff arm a linebacker out of bounds after a run?

What stands out to me is that even with his regular season "slump" this year, he made even more spectacular plays.

Huh? He was our OC.

It's silly because there have been mobile QBs with strong arms for years. That's not what makes Josh Josh.

Yeah I totally disagree with that post. There's nothing great about an Army career unless you're doing what you grew up wanting to do, and even then there's no "incredible pay," lol. If you want the incredible pay you better be ready for 30 years and a commission and hope to make General before they push you out. Other than that, the Army can be a great tool to get a great job, like you and me, but if you don't have a plan and just stay in enlisted, you're absolutely giving up a better career.
