Elam had a couple really solid tackles. One of them was late in the game and kept the clock running. However, in coverage, he was pretty bad again. You just didn’t notice him much because… well… Tyrod Taylor.

I totally get what you’re saying and for many positions I would agree with you. QB is one of those positions i’d agree with you. But look at Bernard and Milano - they are both considered undersized LBers but they are football players through and through. I just don’t think we should be drafting or not drafting players on 1” of arm length. That’s the difference between McDuffie and Elam. 1 inch of arm length. I also agree with you that CB was an overreaction. Imagine George Pickens opposite Diggs.

Speaking only of this game… We run the most amount of play action in the NFL and the Giants called our bluff the entire first half. The LB’s we’re not biting on the play-action at all (they weren’t even moving). Thats why the running attack was so successful when we finally ran it (when the linebackers aren’t crashing the gaps, you can run nearly at will). It was a scenario where the Giants were begging us to run the ball but Dorsey didn’t figure it out until the second half.

Quite frankly I thought Allen played a great game, and was shocked to see that some people thought he played poorly. He had Gabe fumble the first drive away and a tipped ball INT. He also had a couple amazing first down throws into extremely tight coverage and the TD to Morris was bonkers. Inbetween 2 defenders with a rocket. But Cook probably scores on this play if Josh sees him:

I simply never want to see a handoff from shotgun ever again. Not because it can’t work sometimes. but because I don’t trust Dorsey to know when NOT to run it. Like at the freaking goal line.

$52M contract and we can’t rely on him to catch the ball. It is simply inexcusable. Collinsworrh was going on and on about Allen throwing it short (and it was a little short), but Knox HAS to catch this.

NO! NO! You don’t take a timeout there! Youre giving Daboll time to get a play together.

This is horrible.

Announcers were railing against Josh but that ball hit Knox in both of his hands.

Knox has to catch that.

Glad it worked out but I hate defensive timeouts in that situation.

ANOTHER SHOTGUN DRAW!!!???

I don’t think the defense has played particularly well. We have given up 130 yards on the ground, and 15 first downs. We are lucky they have Tyrod at QB.

Daboll has to be on the other sideline in just pure bewilderment at what the offense he built has become.

Put Allen under center and run the darn ball on 3rd down. Then do it again on 4th down.

It’s beyond idiotic. Instead of a running head start, the RB has to accelerate when he gets the ball and has to go 5 yards to get 1 yard.

McD needs to tell Dorsey that he gets 1 shotgun handoff per game. It’s out of control.

WHY ARE YOU IN SHOTGUN!!!!

He had Cook for a possible TD if he threw it to him rather than ran it himself.

He is playing the run well but he is getting exposed in the passing game. Repeatedly.

Dorian is playing the run well, but the pass terribly.

There’s a reason he has been inactive.

Bernard saved our butt.

100% agreed.

Elam again.
