    Cook had one great game versus a very flawed Dallas D.  You could actually argue that Cook was better with Dorsey overall.

     

    Cook's last three games of regular season were some of the worst games of the season.

    Was just gonna post on this. Its funny what becomes truths. Cook had just one 100 yard game vs DAL with Brady. He averaged 3.4, 4.4, 2.8, 3.0 and 3.5 per carry in the last 5 games. His yards per carry were consistently higher with Dorsey and he had essentially 3 100 yard games. Oh, but Brady got him involved in the passing game...he had 38 total receiving yards in the last 5 games. The further they got away from Dorsey to Brady both his rushing and receiving numbers went down.

    So what is Reid doing that we aren't? How is he able to put defenses in a bind and we struggle to get folks open in space? Is it personnel or is it scheme?

    Well you rarely see 3 receivers in the same space. He seems to run more playaction and move the pocket more. Uses a ton of motion. Not a lot of one read plays.

  3. If there is a guy that can takeover for Diggs and is younger then maybe you spend the money and move on from Diggs the following season. Guys that may fit that are:

    Pittman

    Evans (age is getting up there)

    Ridley

     

    Not sure I overpay for any of these three. But on the right kind of deal maybe Evans or Pittman.

     

    So if you are then going for a more typical #2 your looking at:

    Higgins - likely too pricey

    Reynolds

    Samuel

    Brown

    Chark

    Mooney

     

    See what the market is like and snag one of them or two.

    Why are people advocating for Brady as OC if this is what’s on tape? If he inherited bad routes from Dorsey a good OC wouldn’t keep them, right? If the excuse is our WRs, sorry but Shakir and Diggs are sufficient route runners and it was still figured out. Maybe he’s not the upgrade we think. How can you trust an OC that can’t manufacture production from Stef Diggs apart from LOS WR screens?

    This board is famous for loving what we have. Then when that is gone it is they obviously sucked the new guy is better. Remember Dorsey was an upgrade over Daboll. Then Dorsey sucked and Brady is obviously way better. Remember McK was going to thrive in Beasley role. Then he sucked and Harty and Sherfield were huge upgrades. This offseason my bet is Harty and Sherfield will be gone and whoever is signed is another obviously better move.

    Has anyone ever considered how these 14-15 play drives wear down our own offensive players.  McDermott will get one more season to get back to passing and quick strike offence and if her continues to play cavemen football then he is will be fired.

     

    When your playing at home you need to score as quickly as possible to get the crowd into the game

    How many teams with a $50M QB play cavemen football? That is usually saved for the terrible teams that have no Qb and are more concerned with keeping games close. There is something to be said for scoring on a team with just a couple of plays that demoralizes them. Or being able to score quick after a turnover or change of possession. While the long drives can be great in the second half to close out games, your first half should be coming out shooting to let them know they have no shot.

    I follow LSU football closely and this is not correct.  Brady was recruited by LSU to install and run an NFL passing attack.  My understanding is that he had been a quality control manager for Sean Payton and the Saints who loaned him out to LSU to do a seminar on building an effective passing game.  The Tigers were so impressed they offered him a job.  Ed Orgeron (LSU head coach) and the LSU OC recognized they had elite NFL talent in the passing game but worried they didn't have the expertise to fully exploit it. 

     

    Brady installed that fearsome LSU passing attack and called all the pass plays on game day.  He sat next to the OC in the booth who called the running plays.  Brady's impact on that team was enormous and was the reason they won the national title in dominating fashion.  It was the most lethal passing attack ever seen in the history of college football.

     

     

    Ensminger called 99% of the plays....Joe Brady called "situational red zone" snaps, polished the routes we ran, inserted a whole new language of pedal to the metal NFL terminology which Ensminger immediately adapted; the two completed each other...although the question "could the offense have exploded without Joe Brady?" needs to be addressed.

    With or without Joe Brady, the 2019 offense was headed in the right direction, dropping 40+ points in the final 3 games, Mickey Joseph, Joe Burrow, Steve Ensminger, the receivers, Thaddeus Moss's return from injury, the emergence of Clyde Edwards-Helaire, James Cregg's offensive line becoming a titanic blockbusting force...all of these elements collided and aligned into the historic juggernaut we (including you Saban) will never forget....Joe Brady became the savvy, smart interior decorator who could show Ensminger and Joseph a thing or two about fashion sensibilities.

    Injuries cannot be the excuse, we had a fully intact OL, the best QB in the league, a run gameand all WR aside from Gabe Davis were healthy plus 2 solid TE's. I'm not blaming Josh Allen but we had 3 chances towards the end to win the game...3 freaking chances and we blew it! We didn't make the necessary plays to win this game, again our main guys not named Josh Allen didn't show up... Diggs (no show), Cook (no show), Dalton Kincaid (no show), Dawson Knox (no show), The entire defense aside from a flukey Jordan Poyer fumble out of the endzone (no show). Someone tell me how you dont double and triple Kelce and let the rest of these guys try and beat you? Aj Klein on Kelce was a complete joke, he makes all pros look silly half the time and you have AJ Klein on him? There is absolutely no excuse for that.

    Bills should have gone to Neal in the big nickel against Kelce sooner. He was playing him pretty well but they didn't go to it until late in the game.

    No clue how anyone let alone Sean McD could think AJ on Kelce was a good idea. Completely clueless. Fake punt to Damar, Klein on Kelce.

  7. Bill Belichick called and asked "so wait, I get the best QB in the league, can spend as much money and draft picks on D as I want, can hire any of my buddies, and just making the playoffs is winning? This isn't a joke right?"

    So at least we know they are actively going to focus on finding better WRs this offseason.

    We hear the same thing every year.

  8. If we keep Brady and move to a run heavy offense then I will not have a good outlook for the season. Our best player is our $50M per QB. He will not survive a season rushing 15 times a game. I am not sold on Cook being a 25-30 game back. Whoever back #2 is likely not someone worthy of 10-15 carries a game. Our D may take a step back next year given the changes expected. This team is best suited to throwing the ball and using Allen's legs as needed in big spots.

  9. Our roster with an older Diggs, no Davis, no Harty, no Sherfield...we are only going as far as the WR group. Beane passed on Dhop, passed on OBJ, etc. This is not a year to pass. We need a legit threat as it could even be questionable if Diggs is still a #1.
