I disagree he hit him in the head a bit. Secondly how many times has Josh been hit late or low or in head with no call? So for once he got the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully the BRADY rule will now start applying to him!
This team is still gassed from last week. Not making excuses. But they are, step slow on both sides, sloppy, flat as pancakes. This was going to be tough test no matter what. Now looks quite unlikely.
THIS!!! The most important thing is to be healthy and have momentum as they go into playoffs. Home field is great, not as important as it used to be. Plus this team almost appears to play better on the road last few years. They can beat anyone on the road. They can run the table if need be on the road. Let's just get there.
That's what having a franchise QB does for you. And having a top 5 QB at this point. In the NFL the effect of a great QB is amazing. As much as he was hated, Brady the perfect case in point.
As much as do want to run Josh less, I think on these downs your best chance to make the first down is have him keep it, either sneak over guard or run the RPO.
It's not just the running, it's the continued refusing to slide and run out of bounds. He keeps saying I will, then doesn't. He has got to stop seeking contact.
As always Beane nails it. This is how it's done. You stay ahead of the curve and lock up your young core before they can hit FA. Also with Dorseys new TE friendly system, barring injury Dawson could have huge year. This could look like a bargain deal in 2 years.
