BringBackOrton Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 The OL is going to get decimated this week. Did you not see what they did to the best O-line in football last week? Was the OL bad when they had the #1 rushing attack in the NFL two years in a row? Should we not have re-signed Cordy, Richie or Wood because they clearly aren't good enough because our OL is bad?

CanadianFan Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Does Tyrod get unleashed tomorrow? I've been waiting 2 years Not tomorrow. End of season when he's "unleashed" from his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrober38 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 What's wrong with the line? They haven't been good at pass blocking this year, and they're about to face one of the best pass rushes in the league on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_kidd_4 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 My only point on Peterman is that it would be something interesting about this team. This is really such an uninteresting, uninspired year. What good storylines are there, besides lets see if McD can manage a game? Perhaps the defensive improvement? Ok, Id spot that. But on O? We know what Tyrod is. We know what McCoy can do. Zay Jones, ok Im interested, but if were not gonna throw downfield, well that deflates that. Peterman experiment at the very least is a story. Im not saying pull the switch now, but if the slogfest continues theyre gonna have to do something to maintain attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to see him in real game action, not killed behind this O line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don't want to see what he would really look like. You just want to see what he would look like against a zero win team. Gotcha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 So you don't want to see what he would really look like. You just want to see what he would look like against a zero win team. Gotcha. I think the point is that you probably shouldnt put your rookie QB up against an elite defense with little prep time. Wait until the BYE week if youre going to do it.

Gotcha. Of course I do. Just not right out of the box. If Cordy was playing, yeah you'd be right but I don't think any QB will do well this week.

San-O Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Nearly 200 rushing week 1 and < 90 week 2 Blame the OLine That was against the Jets. Not against Carolina D line. Big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San-O Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) The jets defense is not bad Jets defense ranked # 30 at 409 yards / games. Panthers defense ranked # 1 at 196 yards / game. Oh yeah, Jets are dead last in the league with 33 points / game against. http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?tabSeq=2&defensiveStatisticCategory=GAME_STATS&conference=ALL&role=OPP&season=2017&seasonType=REG&d-447263-s=TOTAL_YARDS_GAME_AVG&d-447263-o=1&d-447263-n=1 Maybe you should post less...

If he is and gives the team the better chance to win, why isn't he starting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 it kind of feels like a rodeo, where we are expecting this fierce bull to run out when they open the gates and we get a kitten with it's arm in a sling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is and gives the team the better chance to win, why isn't he starting? Yeah why isn't he starting? Why is the coach holding this team back by playing the inferior QB? I remember when everyone wanted Brian Brohm to start because he was obviously better than Fitzpatrick. I do however still think that Petermans skillset might run this short gain offense a bit better. I just don't think he is going to change the results all that much. Edited September 23, 2017 by Scott7975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is and gives the team the better chance to win, why isn't he starting?Exactly. Why isn't he starting? The offense is super predictable and bland. The offensive coordinator isn't making adjustments in the game so why should we expect that he'll make adjustments outside of it? I've felt this since week one, and especially feel it now after watching the Thursday nighter. We're going to be stuck watching an awesome defense and a vanilla run the first two downs, pass on third offense that we've seen before. It didn't work in years past and it won't work now.

I know I'm going to regret this, but just maybe Dennison had no faith in Tyrod's ability to execute the changes and adjustments necessary last week against Carolina. In a one score game maybe he felt the odds were better Shady would break one or two than Taylor suddenly seeing the whole field quickly enough to throw receivers open. Let's see this week before we crucify the OC with two weeks worth of evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see this week before we crucify the OC with two weeks worth of evidence. I don't know why you'd regret that. It could be true. But he's the same coordinator that put our offense in a shell after we took the lead in the Jets game and depended on a late game interception. You'll get no guff from me saying Taylor handicaps our offense. None at all, the dude shouldn't be out there. He's a backup at best, and he's playing exactly as a backup should. Limit the mistakes and hope our defense can win it for us. It's certainly no way to gameplan with your starter. and it's certainly not indicative of "unleashing" your qb.

If he is and gives the team the better chance to win, why isn't he starting? I actually dont think A LOT of people think this at all. There are probably a few crazies that do but I think the vast majority who want to see Peterman are just intrigued by the unknown factor associated with him. I dont believe its because they legitimately think hes better than Tyrod at the moment. Edited September 23, 2017 by Bangarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 31st in the league in passing, consider him UNLEASHED. Tyrod is getting worse every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 31st in the league in passing, consider him UNLEASHED. Tyrod is getting worse every year. Well right now he is 25th in yards tied for 15th in TDs. I would expect that to drop after facing Denver's pass rush and secondary though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
