Captain Hindsight Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 8 hours ago, HappyDays said: This is obviously false. What are we even doing here? Again, he had ZERO dropped interceptions on the season. If defenders can catch his passes, his teammates that are paid to catch his passes can do it too. It's crazy how many excuses fans come up with to avoid admitting that his pass catchers simply weren't very good this year. Shakir was probably the best of them over the course of the entire season, and that represents a huge failure by Beane. Last year too. When they brought in Beasley and Brown late in the year I knew we were screwed. Huge failure by the FO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedboy7 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 For not having much talent overall with horrible receivers, a failing GM, a McDummy for HC, a clown for ST Coach, this team is quite over achieving. So you might as well enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 22 hours ago, GETTOTHE50 said: we have a couple drop machines in Gabe, Knox, and Cook. plus, Diggs lost his mojo somehow. Gabe most likely wont be here, and hopefully Kincaid gets a larger target share from Knox. Knox AND Cook both need to get their hands/heads on straight. All I know is I can count on Kincaid & Shakir. After that forget it. We need to draft 3 wrs out of 9 picks. Probably the same in 25. 23 minutes ago, nedboy7 said: For not having much talent overall with horrible receivers, a failing GM, a McDummy for HC, a clown for ST Coach, this team is quite over achieving.

Everyone else is gone except Knox. He’s probably not going to change at this point. Shorter and Isabella, I don’t know. Agreed. We need to keep Shakir at all costs, amd let both Sherfield and Harty go. Draft two WR’s. One in the 1st, and one in the 3rd. TKe safeties in the 2nd and 4th rounds. The rest doesn’t matter as it’s just depth so whatever Beane thinks. Save whatever $ we have to extend the solid players on the team.

You could see it. Have you ever broken your wrist? I have. In contrasting opinion of Knox haters, my takeaway is Knox is even tougher than I thought.

peterpan Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Brady called a lot of those WR screens to Diggs, and I think Diggs dropped it 9 out of 10 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Cook is the most disappointing for me. Gabe is whatever.. I don’t expect him back anyway. Cook was the best receiving back in the Draft and you’d think we’re throwing to a fullback half the time with his drops. On the flip side, he’s a 10x better actual RB than I ever thought he would be. Fix the drops and we’ve got a star.. if not, he’s a one contract back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's that Brady implemented more down the field passes, which are harder to catch--and priority #1 in the draft is a field stretching WR who can track the ball and actually catch it--along with a complete shift in philosophy getting Diggs the ball behind the LOS on those bubble screens, which seemed kinda foreign to him and was where some of his drops were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWei44 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 As much as I liked how Brady did, those bubble screens to Diggs behind the LOS made no sense to me. Diggs has never been a "yards after catch" guy for the most part, and he's not built nor is he comfortable being essentially a running back in my view. He is not always averse to contact but there are plenty of plays where he avoids it. I'm guessing one or more drops on those screens was hearing the footsteps of the defenders. I am all for trying new things, but I was never a fan of those bubble screens to Diggs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
