Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 when does Sammy complain about lack of targets? He should be complaining today. How Tyrod doesn't force the ball to him is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Outside of Sammy, we the receiving options are pretty weak. all the more reason to throw it to him til he pukes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Franklin Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 when does Sammy complain about lack of targets? Considering how seldom the other WRs were targeted, I don't think Sammy will have much to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Outside of Sammy, we the receiving options are pretty weak. Not to hi jack this thread. But does Roman have some personal beef with Charles Clay? Tight ends were intregal when he had success in SF. Yesterday Clay had 3 targets. One of them The days best play was a broken one with Tyrod finding Clay for a 33 yard gain. After that nothing. The price for Clay was Pretty high. you got the feeling he was going to be a huge contributor for a team that for years Forgot the position exsisted. Can't say how Clay did on run blocking but judging by the total run Yardage and the o-line a perceived team strength ( Glen injury aside) that unit may be the biggest Surprise of the day. Sammy seemed to be open a lot his lack of targets was frustrating. DItto Robert Woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB3 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Roman doesn't have beef with any of his receiving options. The problem is that TT has beef with throwing on time and to anyone other than his first option. Not to hi jack this thread. But does Roman have some personal beef with Charles Clay?

Coach Tuesday Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Sammy needs to make the most of his limited targets. The drops hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The offense ran 48 total plays. They have to convert 1st downs to sustain drives for his targets to increase. Bottom line is bad game planning and bad quarterbacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Sammy needs to make the most of his limited targets. The drops hurt. Which ones? He had 6 targets, the one people are saying he dropped was a good play by Smith, not a drop, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Outside of Sammy, we the receiving options are pretty weak. Woods, Clay, and McCoy should be more than "good enough" secondary options. The problem is we dont even bother with our primary WR. Sammy needs to make the most of his limited targets. The drops hurt. Outside of the "drop" where he had 3 guys hanging on him, knocking the ball out, I can't think of any others? The offense ran 48 total plays. They have to convert 1st downs to sustain drives for his targets to increase. Bottom line is bad game planning and bad quarterbacking. (Unfortunately) Perfect summation of what happened yesterday.

Smith was able to make that play because Sammy was bobbling the ball. He needed to make that catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Smith was able to make that play because Sammy was bobbling the ball. He needed to make that catch. That's not how it looked to me. Sammy caught the ball, went to secure it and Smith had his hand inside Sammy's and was able to knock the ball away.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 How do we know this is Roman and not Tyrod? Roman isn't throwing the football. We don't. Well, some people THINK they know, but they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Arnold Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 when does Sammy complain about lack of targets? My hope is that Sammy ripped Roman and Tyrod a new one yesterday and does it again in the film room. Outside of Sammy, we the receiving options are pretty weak. Our fourth best wide receiver from last season looks pretty good on a new team. The receivers are not just fine - they're good. It's the system and quarterback.

PromoTheRobot Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I'm sure they wanted to go long a few more times but things were blown up by Baltimore's pass rush. That said I think the game plan was ball control by running more and keeping the ball away from Flacco. Unfortunately the O-line couldn't open holes or pass block for schitt.

Tyrod had plenty of time on multiple throws. Enough for all of us to watch him pat it once... pat it again... and then do nothing with it. This is nothing more than him being indecisive, hesitant, and scared. He was waiting for guys to get open before throwing the ball instead of anticipating and throwing them open. His timing was off and he was throwing late all game, even with good protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 We had 9 possessions. 5 of them ended in 3-and-out. That's more than half. An additional two possessions were 5 plays for 17 yards and punt, and 6 plays for 11 yards and punt. If we can't possess the ball, no one gets any touches or targets. No one.

Best Player Available Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 How do we know this is Roman and not Tyrod? Roman isn't throwing the football. Well i guess it's a little of both. And probably more on Tyrod. Like someone said Tyrod wasn't even seeing his primary receiver much less going Through his progressions. With the perception shady and Bush are pretty decent receivers out of the Backfield. Nothing yesterday utilized the type of dump off passes like too old Fred Jackson that used to work pretty Well. That was a with all of coaches/QB's he played for while a Bill. Throwing on a regular basis to shady doesn't seem to be a option in this offense that much. Don't understand why? Tyrod seemed to playScared yesterday against a team that we should have easily beat. Road game or not. Man I hope Tyrod doesn't Flame out. because going back to QB "purgatory" again will guarantee this franchise continuing its decades of continual failure.

Keeping the ball away from an average-at-best quarterback. That was a great game plan in 1971. The saddest part of all is that you're likely right. These coaches are meathead dinosaurs stuck in the stone ages. The players and fans deserve better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Don't be surprised if you get bad news today on Watkins' postgame x-rays. Hope I'm wrong on this one. And I am a pretty big Whaley supporter but entering this season with this WR corps was/is inexcusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
