BADOLBILZ Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 35 minutes ago, NoSaint said: Its not rocket science. We started a qb with like 5 minutes of practice time. I believe it means they realize they’ve messed up the position and have come around to the “let’s at least throw things against the wall til SOMETHING sticks” approach A 2-7 slice of humble pie tends to ground a HC/GM. We've been talking about the McD fascination with Peterman but the only real difference between that and Marrone's fascination with Tuel was that the awful QB play cost Marrone a playoff appearance in year one. McD made the playoffs so he still felt justified for even dumb things like Peterman and the dissection of the WR corps. Hopefully 2-7 was the sign from God that he needed. There seems to be more earthly reason in recent moves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparatively, 9 weeks ago we cut a vet starting WR the day after guaranteeing his salary to sign a DT that wouldn’t play. Sooooooo seems there’s a chance that a light came on and maybe we actually get a somewhat reasonable strategy from here. It was worrisome for awhile there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the four games before the Jets game (Bears, Pats, Colts, Texans) Kelvin Benjamin was on the field for 75% of the offensive plays In the Jets game, Benjamin played just 51% of the offensive snaps I expect that number to keep dropping after the break, with being inactive a definite possibility down the road. Such a disappointment! Welcome back Deonte! Apparently you always have a home in either Buff, Baltimore, or Chicago.

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Here's what I love about this move. With Foster on the field, a team is going to shift some coverage expecting it's a deep ball or decoy for a run. Add Thompson and/or McKenzie suddenly it creates mismatches as teams try to cover 2-3 speedsters. Zay gets open looks and room in the middle of the field and Shady or Murphy have the flats as a dump off. Add Croom as the catch radius guy in the middle taking KB's spot and suddenly the defenses have to respect the pass. With Pryor on the field these mismatches weren't as strong and there were not multiple options to go deep. As we saw last week, this really opened up the run for Shady and Murphy. Throw Ivory back in the mix and competent QB play completely turns this offense around. We saw that Daboll schemed well once he had mismatches to exploit and a QB to make the throws. If Allen can step up or Barkley can keep it up, this offense could be a lot more entertaining the next six games. We have the extra week to rev this up and make it work. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and O'leary were some of my favorite grit players on last year's squad. The offense has been lacking that outside of Ivory and Allen. When you see KB's effort, then see Nick or DT ball out to their best every play, it's not hard to understand why some people like guys like Nick and DT. PS some speed outside like Thompson and Foster may help Josh Allen. Replaceable, yes, but an incremental improvement that plays to your QB strengths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's an explosive athlete and I feel like he will get there. I'd love to bring in Stevie Johnson to be his personal coach and show him how develop some of that route running swagger. Honestly, I didn't realize he was 6-2. I'm excited to watch him develop, hopefully he does. This might be my favorite post on TBD ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short I called our ageing WR corps bums and called for a youth movement. After 10 games the FO seems to be moving in that direction, except KB. It is good to see. I anticipate a major youth movement in the off season on offense through the draft, and a LB, OL add in FA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he still has a clapfest even when KB falls asleep standing at the line. Rather sign a FA WR but I think we could sign all of them and still suck, but hey you called it.

Foster's yards came on "chunk" plays McKenzie looked adept with the fly sweep. Tiny sample size, but Daboll seems to like them and he's the one guy on the roster with the skill set to make it work. I expect to see more of that going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinionated speculation: so is it safe to say our coaching staff thinks the issue with the corps was lack of speed? Certainly makes sense in terms of getting separation - but is this the [best] approach to helping Allen develop? I know a few points were made, and I've agreed with, that we should be getting receivers with large catch radii (a KB who can complete a catch, N'Keal Harry, etc.) to help with Allen's inaccuracy issues. No reason we can't have both, but seems like the priority here is being given to speed over physical receivers with high completion probability in a contested catch. I think they are looking at as if Allen can just launch it and put some air under it a fast receiver can get under it 13 hours ago, folz said: In the four games before the Jets game (Bears, Pats, Colts, Texans) Kelvin Benjamin was on the field for 75% of the offensive plays In the Jets game, Benjamin played just 51% of the offensive snaps I expect that number to keep dropping after the break, with being inactive a definite possibility down the road.

He is playing with no passion no effort. Sit his ass and show him that if he doesn’t want to try we don’t want or need him. Help him put things into perceptive and get his ***** together. I am honestly surprised McDermott has allowed him to play while blatantly giving a poor effort each week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which he has yet to prove. He definitely has the arm strength, but he's bombs usually end up out of bounds on the sideline flankers, and about 5 yards too deep or shorted (when he tries to adjust) for the receiver to make a play. And yes, I'm weighing in the state of our receiver corps when I say this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
