When researching Cook for his draft, and then after we drafted him, my hope has been that he be used like Kamara. Is he the same player? No, obviously not. But he has similar skills and should be utilized similarly.

I do not know but would also like to know if there exists a database that has college WR separation stats

No excuse not to Uber/cab/Tesla/etc

Fortunate to have been to many games over the years so cannot recall most but this year was 1-2 (Ls vs DEN & KC, W vs DAL) and last year was 1-1 (L vs MIN, W vs TEN). Blowout wins and very close losses.

I’m struggling to think of a single play that made me think “Wow that drop was because Allen threw it too hard”

Seems like good value to me

In what round is Brenden Rice projected to go?

“Hit the QB a lot” is a strategy I like

Bills vs. Lions in the first ever floating Super Bowl to take place on Lake Erie

TIL I had no clue what Babich looks like.

I think Jones is close to must have back. Changes our defense. Agree on prioritizing Floyd and Johnson. Would also not mind Edwards or Jackson back as both seem to have filled key back-up roles admirably.

Only so many rookies going to make this team, Beane has been known to trade up, and, even though the cost of a 3rd (if that is the cost) would be a super tough pill to swallow, I think Kincaid’s success bought Beane a little leeway on moving up in the first for a pass catcher. Not saying I want to trade away a third round pick, but were we to come out of the draft with a top WR prospect from round one and potential starting safety from round two, then I think most would be happy.

This. Brown and Beasley were both top 5-10 NFL WR separators when we brought them in and look what it did for JA17.

I like Worthy better than Leggett personally so would be upset to see us take the latter before the former falls to NE.

Hate making these comparisons but I watch Worthy and see Tyreek. Haven’t done a deep dive yet, but would be OK with Worthy or Coleman in the first round. On the fence about Leggett there.

He is, which is why my post you quoted says that people who are saying he owned Brady in the second half are not far off. Just being balanced in pointing out that Brady’s play call had options open for either a TD or 1st down on maybe the most important play of the game.

Three points: 1. Echo those who wish there was more thorough of a search. 2. If Brady came in as a lateral hire with the same résumé but from another team, then fans would be happy to hire a bright young offensive mind. 3. People saying Spags owned him in the second half are not that far off, but let’s not forget the 4 major drops and even then Brady’s play call had Shakir open in the end zone and Diggs open for a 1st down on arguably the most important play of the game, but the players did not execute.

Praying for you all!

I feel like I recall a few to TEs but yeah especially with Cook. I think what they do with him instead is just that delayed fake block the middle curl route thing, but it is not a screen.

I share the love for Shakir and also echo the sentiment from others that we still need to add (read: draft) a guy who is now a WR2 at least with the expectation that he can develop into a WR1. Also, although this contradicts what I said above, I kind of want to ditch “WR1”, “WR2”, etc., terminology. We just need reliable, consistent weapons whose skills complement each other.

Great? Maybe not, but I wonder how Hughes would have mixed in with the defenses since he left.

First let me say I think a thorough OC search needs to be conducted and Brady is by no means a lock. However, you did not address the 3-4 major drops in the KC playoff game. Cook, Sherfield (x2), and Diggs. If 1-2 of those are caught, then we very possibly win and I think the narrative today would be more “hope we don’t lose Brady!” You also did not address that we went 7-2 with Brady and easily could have won both our losses. The major uptick for me was how much better the running attack became with Brady. Maybe I am biased because I attended the Cowboys game, but seeing us pound a playoff team (paper tiger or not) into submission by just running it down their throats was a welcome new dimension under Brady this season. I think the OL, Cook, and Shakir really took a step forward, and Allen looked more himself, after Brady took the reins. One more point: Haven’t many of us been pounding the table for more screens for what seems like since Gailey left? I know I have been. Not going to complain too much about plays that get the ball in Diggs hands. Edit: I think your best point is about our low scoring second halves. That is concerning as I want an OC who adapts scheme to opponent during prep and in-game.

Tough to fault Brady when there were 3-4 huge drops and both Diggs and Shakir were open on the missed TD play. Also tough to argue against the turnaround after he was made OC.
