1. They gotta get rid of Dorsey
2. They gotta go out and get the every-down offensive weapon they need

Thoughts?

Thoughts NO 17 needs to actually learn how to take what the Defense gives him, and play within the offense.

 

Enough of the same bull#### every game for 5 years.

When will people realize you do NOT win football games / Super Bowls by paying running backs? This board is OBSESSED with RBs.

 

No team who has won the Super Bowl in the last 15 years has paid a starting RB over 2.5M 

 

You don't win by paying an RB, these are world class athletes. You win by putting an OL on the field .. the RB is irrelevant. 

 

JT was GREAT his rookie year with the best OL in the NFL.. last year, they weren't as good and neither was he. As the OL goes, the RB goes.

Why get more weapons when we wont even use the ones we have?

 

Cook played well. He looked exactly as I expect and want. Outran guys around the corner multiple times.

Oh and then Dorsey stopped calling outside zones, sweeps. Runs 2... gets 10 yards per... abandons it.

Because it's what we don't have.

While Hackett was smart enough to lean into it when he saw it working for them.

 

Is that where we're really at? Hackett is a better OC than ours?

 

Seems so after last night...

Neither did the Chiefs last year.. or the patriots in their dynasty, the eagles has 4 of them on rotation.

 

You don't win by paying RBs.. again, no team in the last 15 years has won a SB by paying an RB... not a single one.

Yeah, RB is not the reason we lost. That was on #17. 

 

I miss Daboll more with every game that passes. Josh needs a calming influence, and Mr Tablet Smasher is not that.

True ,  but you have to break tackles at some point ( see whites two arm tackles being broken leading to impressive chunk runs) , and cook is no THURMAN THOMAS,, lol,,,guy is pretty light in the pants and while he can get around pursuit, he is not snapping off big runs and there were times some larger gains were in front of him if he had more balance and power. Better than last year but still quick to be stopped short of first downs. Murray looked good . Lewis looked  ok so far. Line cant always hold holes open for long.

Cook will not break tackles. He has never been that player.

 

It's actually really surprising seeing so many people upset about that this morning.

 

He's a speed guy. He beats guys to the corner or to the hole. And he did that very well all last night.

 

He will snap off big gains when we get him space like all the space Hall had to run through.
