Right. It’s not like Josh doesn’t know to use the short passing game. He relied on Beasley a great deal. -

McGovern, Torrence, Edwards this off-season. Two veteran backs along with Cook this off season. First round pick to give him receiver help. -

I suspect so. Defenses will play the two deep safety look now, and Josh will adjust -
They brought her in from outside as I recall. This is simple. You read and/or listen to the whole thing she sounds like it’s tongue in cheek. Even if not she apologized either way. If Diggs wants to be the leader of the team, then you don’t make it a big deal. You simply say you know Maddie, you accept her apology, and move on. But he had to tweet a bunch of stuff, which merely inflames things. Leaders actually lead; that is not just ranting on the field and telling teammates they stink. And to whoever referred to the White Knights and such, my opinion has nothing to do with any of the parties being white, black, brown, pink, or a lovely shade of chartreuse. So moving on. Kill the Raiders tomorrow, Josh gets back on track, Diggs torches them, defense rears up and stuffs Jacobs, and we’re back on track. Go Bills!!!

He sucked Monday night. He’ll play much better going forward. But teams are doing things now on D that he needs to adjust to. -

Did you happen to see what the Browns D line did to the Bengals last week? -

I am always a proponent of building things up front. Drafting Torrence was good, McGovern will be an upgrade. I am not as negative on Brown as many but he needs to improve. I would be looking at Bates for Morse; Morse gets bull rushed by big DTs. Cincy has one more year with those WRs but with Burrow’s new contract they won’t be able to afford it anymore. When you find your great QB and have to pay him then that star QB has to make guys around him better. You likely can afford one real star receiver. Mahomes has Kelce, we have Diggs, Burrow will have Chase. The Niners have done things differently having non-star QBs that can work in Shanahan’s system and allow $$ to be spent elsewhere. -

They understand, but want him to have a long and successful career. They’re OK with calling runs but he has to slide and he doesn’t too many times. He can scramble, just get out of bounds or slide. And I’m sorry, but if you haven’t seen the number of long passes he’s completed to both Diggs and Davis the past several years then I’m not sure what team you’ve been watching. They are taking away the deep ball not because of our receiver’s deficiencies, but because they think Josh will eventually make a mistake and force it into coverage. We all love Josh but he has room to improve. We love his competitiveness, but guys like Brady and Manning were as competitive as any guys who ever played and they were all time greats because they mixed physical talent with smarts. Josh is maybe the most physically talented guy ever but still needs to learn to play smarter. -

Try again. Teams right now know Josh is prone to going off schedule to throw the deep ball, so they are playing for it. They are baiting him. And last week he fell for it. Dorsey is calling different route trees and it’s up to Josh to read them. When he takes the easier routes it will then force the D to come up more and open deeper routes. We know Diggs can get deep as can Davis. And they are trying to protect him from getting hurt by running too much. There is a balance between freeing him up and not taking unnecessary chances, and was highlighted by him trying to jump over two guys 5 yards before the first down marker. We all love Josh but he stunk Monday. He’ll play better. Kincaid can run the underneath stuff Beasley ran. I think Sherfield can as well. But Josh has to trust it. -

Kincaid had 4 catches. And Josh will not suck like he did Monday. Things will come together. -

One game where Josh went temporarily insane in the second half. One game.
