Didn't feel like starting a new thread, but just a note for everyone who is down on Carpenter...

 

The Bills are 4th in the league in FG %, and tied for first in XP% (tied with 16 other teams, but still that means 15 teams have XP issues)

Carp will be a Captain on Sunday.

#Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill sacked 17 times thru first 5 games. Sunday, w/ whole O-line together for 1st time, not sacked once, hit just 2x.

The Steelers are notorious for laying road eggs under Tomlin.

 

 

I have no idea what to make of Miami. Before Sunday it looked like they were one of the 5 worst teams in the league and Gase was in danger of losing the team already. Now I can't tell if we just disregard the Steelers game as them just laying an egg or if the shakeups in Miami opened everyone's eyes.

 

 

It sure was bad for my confidence picks.

Here are Jay Ajayi's rushing yards per game this year:

week 1 = 0 yards

week 2 = 14 yards

week 3= 28 yards

week 4 = 33 yards

week 5 = 42 yards

week 6 = 204 yards

 

He's not been tearing it up this year, not sure if he was hurt and the eased him in or not. We need to focus on stopping the run and getting to the QB.. Basic football this week..

The reason that Miami was moving the ball like that was twofold. Maybe threefold. First, they had their starting OL together which is rare. Albert, Tunsil had James all played and usually at least one is hurt. Tannehill barely touched, no pressure, big day for Ajayi. Second, Steelers have really struggled to rush the passer all year but yesterday were missing their biggest playmaker on the DL, cam Heyward, as well as their best LB, Ryan Shazier. Third, Steelers have a bad habit of playing down to their competition especially on the road.

This is the game TT needs to pass for 300+. The Dolphins pass D is terrible. Split Clay and Jack's grandson out often. Hunter needs a steady diet of deep crosses with Goodwin deep up the seam.

Is it terrible though? Didn't they shut down one of the better passing offenses this week (Brown had 4 catches for 39 yards)? Ben was 19/34 for 189 yrds with 1TD/2INTS.

it is getting a little better but probably worth noting that Miami DC Vance Joseph is very familiar with preparing for Steelers offense. He was DBs coach in Cincy for years.

I'm not all the way back on Carp just yet, but if he keeps it going, I may let up. I just don't feel confident when he lines up to kick.

I'm not super excited about Lawson coming into the fold just yet. No training camp. No snaps this year. And, as a rookie, he's just supposed to pick up mid-season form and contribute? I'm not sold and I don't think we should be leaning on him to make significant contributions. Especially coming off surgery. The defense is playing well. Why not just shelf him until next year?

did you watch Joey Bosa in his first two games after coming back?

 

That's why.

Because he's healthy and ready to contribute. Adding a talented player in a situational role is a good thing.
