Royale with Cheese

Well yeah, Edmunds wasn't instinctual like Bernard, it's very apparent. I think the best thing Edmunds was for was making the QB throw a little higher over the middle, block the vision of the QB and actually could go sideline to sideline for a tackle. Overall, Edmunds is a decent linebacker in which his size makes him better than he actually is. Bernard looks like he could be above solid or if he continues to grow....a strong starter?

Yep. That is the key. We have to get TD's instead of FG's when we are in the red zone. Keep Tua and Hill on the sidelines.

We should be running play action at least 20% more.

Splash plays aren't needed to be a determent in the passing game. There's a video in the post game day thread where Bernard passed off the WR to White and then took out the other throwing option on the curl to whatever WR was there....that lead to the sack. Taking away throwing lanes where the QB has to hold it for a split second longer is as good as a splash play.

For whatever reason, my tweets are imbedding properly. Anyone else having this issue? I’m on an IPhone. https://x.com/mirskykendall/status/1706101453172117654?s=46&t=WlqwVN2bVq7mXd00IAHy6A

Don, is your keyboard sticky?

I think this is a game we play just like the Raiders game. Just move the chains and keep the Dolphins offense on the sidelines. But the only way it works is if we score TD's and not kicking FG's in the redzone.

I certainly think the winner of this game needs to score at least 30.

If Washington wasn't turning the ball over and putting up some points, I think we stay aggressive on offense.

I think what has happened is for several stretches, this offense looks unbelievable...so I think we get spoiled or yearn for that to be all the time. The offense isn't operating at their top peak but that happens. It's better than what we saw in the last 6-8 games last year. There are areas where we need to get better but I'm not going to say the offense doesn't look good.

I read about a study in which they took I believe like 30 women and had make up artist put fake scars on their faces. They then had these woman interview for jobs and told them it was a case study to see if people facial disfigurements were being discriminated against from getting jobs. They showed these women what they looked like in the mirror with the really bad scars. Then before the interview, they told them they needed to do a touch up but actually fixed the scars....but they didn't let the women see the "touch up" so in their minds, they still had the scars. After the interview, most of the women said they were discriminated with in the interview. They sat them down to get their reasons why and they it was the interviewers actions, the way they looked at them, way they phrased the questions etc.... So this study just basically proved that once you have convinced your mind of something, you will look at anything or everything to prove or verify it. It's what a biased mind does.

He always does.

Yep. I think Allen was pressured all day, had no time to throw, had to go off script on almost every 3rd down. The offensive line and all the WR's let him down. It was all Josh.

How many things are we going to take away? So far we have to take away the ENTIRE 2nd half against the Raiders and the entire 4th quarter of the Washington game. Now we have to take away Allen's rushing yards. What's next? "If you take away all the throws to Diggs, our passing game wasn't that good." We weren't perfect but very efficient. Yeah, things could have gone more smoothly but nothing was concerning on offense yesterday.

We we very successful on converting 3rd downs against one of the most dominant DL in football. This is nitpicking.

It’s ridiculous.

LOL Take away 3 successful quarters and they weren’t as good. That’s now how it works.

Miller is a defensive end in our defense.

We did not struggle against a Skylar Thompson lead offense. They were awful that day.

This might be a game where we see Rap playing MLB on 3rd downs and Groot rushing up the middle a lot. I can see Poona Ford being inactive again and Kingsley Jonathan gets time.

Bernard will have times he’s washed away from the play or gets blown up. Especially if the OL get to the second level. But over the course of the game, were the mostly effective or mostly non-effective. A few plays here or there doesn’t prove a point. Bernard is playing very well so far. We have a lot more of the season to declare him good or not.

He doesn’t know what he’s talking about…he’s going to cling to his original opinion because of the volume of criticism he gave this position.

Picking a few plays here and there doesn’t prove anything unless its consistent. He is not going to grade 100% in any game. He probably played 60 snaps today. He’s been very good and certainly not a liability in the run game like you claimed he would be.

Has Fields give the announcers any reason to talk about him? He is one of the worst QB’s in the league.
