On a related note...I didn't realize Brandon Bridge went to the CFL, instead of training camp with the Cowboys or Lions.
He hasn't done so well, in limited action...5-10, 62 yards, 1 INT.

(I was really hoping to sign him as a UDFA. He's supposed to have a lot of potential, but I'd like to see him dominate the CFL first.)
He just has to get acclimated to the bigger field with 20 yard end zones.

I am surprised no one has brought up the times that Gray was seemingly targeted and even when he caught the ball. Those were clearly meant for Sammy, and he didn't catch them. Orton had hair confusion. Gray actually had more catches than targets in 2015 making him the greatest receiver of all time.
Marrackett went so far to get a Sammy look-alike, which really messed with the defenses, but also our own QBs. We just need better QBs.

Here's the CFL QB we should be targeting: Former UB QB Drew Willy of Winnipeg. In his season opener: 22/25 325/3 TDs.
There was one really nice throw there between the CB and S.
His RB is fun to watch, too. Shifty little guy.
-
But of those 3.3% of our plays did you even consider that Orton probably threw it out of bounds on those plays?
There's so much to consider or not consider that I'm considering not considering any of these considerations.

I'm not sure you can make it much clearer Wayne. I commend the effort.
That was an entertaining back-and-forth at least.
Luxy312 tried his/her very best to not admit he/she was wrong.

Marrone/Hackett were unbelievably incompetent in all phases of coaching offense, use of Sammy Watkins included. Even on the most basic levels, they just were trying to put square pegs into round holes. Just watch Watkins college tape. His screen game is UNREAL. Once he has the ball in his hands and is moving downfield, he's a threat to break tackles, evade defenders using speed, quickness, and power. Sammy can lower his shoulder and truck.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember us trying one bubble screen to him all year long. How can you watch his college tape and not say, "Yeah, we should probably draw up a play like that for him and see how it goes." It was just like willful defiance to basic things any average coach would do. So glad those clowns are gone. I have confidence Roman will coach to the strengths of our offense and Rex will ensure that he does so.
People are joking about them overthinking it, but I think that's actually what happened. There's been an emphasis on analytics the past couple years, but they shouldn't forget that this is still just football. It's a chess game where each piece has a certain role and you use it for what it does best.
-
These "analyses" are filled with failure to look at a bigger picture. For the 579 pass attempts, there were 128 targets of Watkins. 22.1% of passes went his way. OBD was targeted 130 times on 607 pass attempts. That's 21.4%. Does that mean that OBJ wasn't targeted enough either? Of the 273 completions, 23.8% went to Watkins. OBJ hauled in 23.8% of the Giants total completions as well. At the end of the day, the Giants passing game was 18% more productive overall than Buffalo's last year. Given that his overall participation was comparable to the definitive ROY candidate, I don't know how you can see he was "grossly misused" unless you say the same thing about OBJ. Which, IMO would be a ridiculous statement.
Didn't OBJ play in 4 less games?
EDIT: I just ran the numbers and OBJ was actually targeted on 28.6% of pass attempts during the 12 games he actually played.
132 targets on 462 attempts.
-
This offense seems more versatile than ever with proven talent.
-
apparently the reasons they didn't use him on more screens was because of his ribs being more exposed to hits and because they didn't think the OL could block effectively for them. I suppose either or both could be valid excuses, but it doesn't make it any less irritating!
Woods put Julius Peppers on his ass in that GB game.
Just let Sammy run behind Bob and Clay. No need for he O-line
-
Sammy never gets any dpi calls
That's one I haven't heard, yet. In general, refs don't give rookies the benefit of doubt. For better or worse, right or wrong, you gotta build a good rapport with the refs.
What a fun game to watch. Rex doesn't need to build a bully. He already has one.
-
Careful, you may be jonesin for Uncle Kyle at some point this year
Eh...We got Cousin Meh...
-
My brain wants to explode when I remember that in some alternate universe, Marone and Orton could still be here! O_O
Don't focus on the negative alternate universes...imagine an alternate universe where our O-line is actually good.
-
Watching now. Sammy breaks Bills rookie receiving record. Sammy and Bob are sick.
Bryce Brown with a sweet spin move to turn a 5 yard loss into a first down...

I know this is fantasy but it is also very important for this team - McCoy is very good but he's not great. I do not and will never like this deal or LeSean McCoy.
Alonso will have a better career.
McCoy could still be on pace for a HoF career. If Kiko has a HoF career, that's great, but comparing a LB to a RB is apples to oranges.
-
I would never draft Harvin.
McCoy seems like great value late in the first round, though. He has no issues running behind a FB. He did so in college and in Andy Reid's system. The O-line is the only question mark for me.
-
I am concerned with stopping the run. Didn't do it under Pettine and I am more that a little curious about how they will do now under a similar system.
I think it'll be up to the LBs. They're going from a one-gap responsibilty to a two-gap responsibility, so they need to step it up. I think Brown will be fine and it would've helped to keep Spikes. Bradham is more of a question mark.
-
Surprised I'm the first one in on this. Been posted before but appropo.

Blitzers beware.
It's a lot of fun to watch him juke Houston out of his shoes.
I don't think that was even a blitz, though. Four DL rushing and LB came up to plug the gap. Houston read it perfectly, but still couldn't stop it.

So, this was going to be a "Let's sign BLM!" thread, but now it's not?

The other day, Hershel Walker said, "I could still not bobsled at 53 years old."
I just read that they have Olympics for old people. A former NFL WR set world records for a couple age groups. Why isn't Walker doing that?
-
At least he's not bobsledding.
You guys remember Herschel Walker bobsledding in the Olympics? Weird.
-
Brady is not on either list?
He's number 12

Rex Ryan himself told the players to decompress and get away from football during the six week interim period between Minicamp and Training Camp at SJF.
What exactly is your issue with this???
Why should Goodwin have nice things?
-
For better or worse, that's why I feel like he turns into a Vick type qb.
What?
Nah, dude. He's a better QB than Vick.
-
As a sports fan, I love statistics, but at some point they just don't have much value. I think this is getting to that point.
Yeah. Like everything, you gotta consider that football is the ultimate team sport. There are a lot of factors in play and statistics never seem as valuable as they are in the other major sports.
For instance, I think a QB in a spread scheme (going 5 wide with an empty backfield more often) with good bail-out options is going to do better than if he was put in a more vertical scheme with less options. How good is his RB at blocking and catching?
So, it's tough to compare one to another. The most we can say is that we hope Roman can do for our QBs what he did for Smith and Kaep. He'll need to help them improve in this area just as much as in other areas.
