EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 WanDale Robinson was a guy that I came away impressed with. His short area quickness and ability to get vertical with the ball reminded me of Beasley in his prime. Posted a 8-62 line….which is what I think Dorsey was hoping he could get from Kincaid. A sure handed, security blanket who can move the chains and get the tough yards when needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Josh not running has “killed this offense”, then that means Allen’s arm/decision making aren’t good enough, and running the ball is the solution. Thats not what it means at all. At all. Rather, it's simple math. Allen being a running threat, and a MAJOR running threat at that, meant Defenses had to keep a guy around to spy him if they wanted to stop it. If not, then we'd gash them until they did. And then that would open up the passing game for everyone else. Even our JAGs were getting open as Josh was setting records for most individual receivers with passes caught. Now, with no running threat, the numbers tip back into the Defense's favor. They can cover Diggs AND take away the rest of the guys who are by no means world beaters. We must run Josh. Like 3-5 called QB runs the entire game, with a couple of those coming early to set the tone and show the Defense that extra wrinkle. He also needs to be given back the green light to scramble 5 yards for the 1st when it's there, and keep the chains moving, than throw an awkward pass to an unexpecting WR who drops it and kills the drive. Josh's legs are a major part of this O, and we've lost them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daboll impresses me as someone who doesn't like to be told what to do. I think McD thought running the ball more was a good idea. Dabs thought otherwise. In any event, not a classy move by Dabs at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a reasonable conversation to be had about Josh running more. That’s cool. I don’t disagree. But to say not running is somehow ruining the offense absolutely is an unintentional knock on the QB’s ability to be a passer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it could be a knock on the OC for not scheming guys open. A knock on the GM for not getting enough talent. A knock on the WRs for not getting separation. And sure, possibly a knock on the QB for not executing better. You are jumping to one specific negative conclusion about a very broad and complex subject. The overall point without getting offended by it is simply we have a key Offensive player with a diverse set of high level skills, and arent using all of them, and we should be using all of the skills of the guy who touches the ball every play.

Is that a knock on Mahomes or on his offense this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Did anyone see these snap counts? Oliver in on 87% of snaps?! Wow. Diggs outsnaps Davis for the first time since I can remember. Harty a measley 16%…waste. Edwards in on 13% of snaps…that’s 8 plays with 6 OL.
