Id be happy with either/or. Does she have a D? Asking for a friend. ?

Yup. We need an Adams

Doesn’t matter with the rest of his post season failures and the inability to retool and adapt properly after FA kicked in. Regular season means nothing if others beat you in the playoffs. Do you remember the year when Shurmur and GB unveiled a 3-3 nickel against SF and Seifert had no answer for it?

Yup. It was Walsh’s program. Seifert just didn’t screw it up. Although, it’s debatable because he didn’t do particularly well against JJ and Holmgren in the playoffs.

Who hasn’t?

Never had an issue with Lynch like many. In comparison though... if the Packers has taken that trade when offered Rodgers would probably have three rings and McCarthy would be retiring a Packer. ?

Would be nice. GB under Thompson basically drafted a WR in the 2nd or 3rd every year though. It’s why their O was stacked an D sucked for so long.

We need an Adams.

Pulling a Stevie

Hackett is OC, but I believe LeFleur calls the plays. Which means Hacketts really just responsible for keeping Rodgers happy.

Watch Beane sign Funchess. ?

Do you think I want to sign Henry for big money? I’m perfectly content seeing the Titans payout $30+MM next season to retain Henry and Tannehill. In fact I think it’s better for the Bills if that happens as Allen is still on a rookie contract.

The consolation prize is forcing the titans to pay big money for him. They have to pay Tannehill and Conklin as well if they want to keep them

He’s certainly carrying that offense like Earl Campbell. Additionally, after watching some highlights.... Earl carried the ball like a loaf of bread ?. Perhaps there’s something to that.

You really want to be impressed look at the Holmgren coaching tree. I bring that up because I believe Reid - being a branch - likely approaches coaching hires and preparation in a similar manner. Pederson also played for Holmgren.

There are more important positions than RB unless it’s the piece an offense needs or it’s a generational talent. There aren’t any obvious generational talents in this draft at RB (can’t rule out a Terrell Davis), so the top backs will likely be on the board until BPA meets need. Particularly because there are some really good prospects that’ll have 2-5 round ratings. I doubt any of the top RBs go in the top 15 this year unless one of them blows up the combine.... So I’d imagine some of the playoff teams may take a shot at a back or there’s a trade. There are so many WRs this draft that a RB likely won’t be the best offensive playmaker on the board until the 20’s.

I can see Beane trading up if Epenesa falls into the late teens like Edmunds did.

More like a Browns Jags game in London.

If I thought they might get the calls against other teams it’d be an option.... BUT....

The ultimate satisfaction would be beating them next time and keeping on the gas until it’s embarrassing.

Not a good look from any angle. ?‍♂️

It’s a bit of both. I think they decided to throw Allen in the deep end this year with the assumption that it’d all come together with playing time and more talent. They learned they were a little too optimistic about it this year, but Allen is primed to improve again next season.

When you’ve got fresh eggs, spoiled steak, and wilted vegetables the best move is to just make an omelette.

I’m sure. It’s why continuity and experience matter so much. It’s also why you see teams keep the same QB and center combinations as long as possible even when they could improve on physical talent at center. Allen and Morse didn’t get a full year practicing together. They’ll improve here.

Thank you. My thoughts early in the season were that Allen and Morse weren’t seeing the same thing due to the concussion. As the season went on I’ve put more of that on Allen and Daboll. The reason I add Daboll to the equation is because it’s his responsibility to scheme up something for these breakdowns. Whether it’s a “fire” call where all the linemen immediately run block and Allen takes off, or something else doesn’t matter.... The offense needs an out for an inexperienced QB with full protection responsibilities. As for Dawkins and Singletary on the particular play in question... I think that if Singletary had made that block long enough for Dawkins to set his feet the outcome would have been different. Part of that may have to do with Singletary’s lack of experience, and inability to recognize a failed protection call early enough to do something about it. I think a fair amount of this will be cleaned up next year. They’ll review and refine protections. Plus, Allen started to figure some of this out down the stretch and connect on some long balls. Burn a few teams and DCs stop gambling. Particularly if they drops rushers in a zone blitz and the QB turns into a FB with an escort of dancing bears. Love your posts Shaw... glad you’re doing RPR here after the BBMB shut down. To make a generalization, Allen has the responsibility since he has the vision. Centers go from that initial call. They can usually change responsibilities based on what they see and anticipate which is done with communication with the guards. If the center has a NT stacked on him the guard might decide the calls depending on the team. It’s entirely possible that Spain didn’t relate the information to Dawkins as well. Tackles have to adapt which is why I give a bit of a pass to the backside linemen because they’re stepping into an area where their initial view is obstructed then reacting. I think this is where all of the new faces killed us this season. Combine that with an inexperienced QB, RB and TEs and it’s the perfect recipe for drive killing protection failures. This offense will improve here next season. I have no doubts about that whatsoever. Allen will make better reads and calls. Most of - maybe all - of the line will return so communication and feel will be better. Knox and Singletary will have better recognition. Bobby Johnson will have an off-season to adjust to all of this. Daboll will have time to craft and scheme up some outs, hot reads, and/ “fire” calls.
