So I wonder if they were trying to trade for shahid and had a deal in place and got screwed over somehow by NO and their GM did Beane a solid by essentially handing him Cooks

I'm glad we missed on Shahid as he's umm not given Seattle much in the stat sheet.

I'll be honest it's hard to get excited about any WR addition with Brady as OC. Those clips of the Texans HC basically mocking our game plan vs them are very telling. We have bigger problems then our WR room, IMO. 

yes agreed with that … his scheme has not evolved enough this season and you get found out quick in the NFL…. But did his scheme not evolve because he didn’t have the talent ?

 

chicken and the egg situation

Anyone know what time Beanes apology call to WGR will be airing? 

[somnus00]

Can he run mesh? Put him in!

Lack of talent at WR doesn't explain Brady going 5 man protection all game and failing to adjust as our o line got manhandled. Think the guy is just in over his head.

If this keeps Coleman out I'm in favor!

For as meh as this WR room is, it’s clear Joe Brady is the biggest issue with this Offense right now.

honestly it cant hurt so I'm in!

[Coach Tuesday]

Did we just quietly get better?

[Bruffalo]

It’s something, I guess. He used to be very good. 
 

It’s hard for me to be excited about this after we watched actual difference makers get traded for pennies, but maybe it’ll help.

This is where I am at.  I like that we picked up another guy with speed...but we dont use the guys we have properly, and 2 of them have 4.35 or faster speed.  As someone who was a Brady supporter coming into the season he has completely lost me.  Much like how Daboll eventually lost me too when he was here after being on his wagon early on.

What difference makers got traded for pennies? No difference makers got traded at the deadline.

Yeah damn let's fire OC that's given us the 3rd best offense in terms of points and yards in the NFL with some here call the worst WR core in the league 😐

[Mikie2times]

So before the start of 2024, we lose Diggs. We draft a guy that is universally regarded as having separation issues that is discussed as being better off in the slot. We sign a middle tier FA, whose history is better off in the slot. We call it good, watch the team struggle in the first half of the season. Trade for Cooper. The following offseason, we sign a middle tier FA. We don't add anybody else. We triple down how good we are. We watch the team struggle the first half of the year. We can't make a trade. Then we sign a middle tier FA.

 

Beane, you suck.

Who cares when it's against the scrubs of the world.

We were lucky to get him.  I mean, 29 other teams passed on him because they actually draft WRs that are difference makers so the fact that we have neglected it for so long makes it a good thing.... right.... RIGHT!?!?!

That means there were 2 other teams left that didn't pass on him!

Then I guess we should count out all the stats the teams above us had against the scrubs and see how they rate?

I wonder if he can learn enough to run the O.  I wonder if Josh will trust him.  Coleman may be done for the year here.

He cleared waivers and was a free agent because of the poison pill in his contract that discouraged a waiver claim.

[billsfan714]

He can battle Josh Palmer on who gets a receiving touchdown this year first.

Nowhere to go but up at WR! 

[sven233]

I know the big question is whether he can get caught up in the offense enough to be able to play on Sunday.  It's a big ask......there's a lot to learn. 

 

He'll have to get his 5-10 yard mesh routes down.  He'll have to make sure he can catch a WR screen behind the LOS......not just on the left side of the field, but the right side of the field as well.  And, most importantly, he will have to make sure he can take an end around hand off, preferably without fumbling and making sure to get at least 3 yards out of it.

 

Let's face it....it's a complicated and difficult task to perfect this offense.  I mean, it took like 5 games before our opposing defenses got it figured out and mastered, and he doesn't have a long to time to understand it himself.  He's a vet, though.  If he puts in enough work.....at least an entire afternoon, he might be able to figure it out eventually.
