im well aware of that you do know the motion required to generate a throw like that is extremely painfull on the opposite shoulder too right? Also it was the longest pass he threw all night at 27 air yards.... hardly a "bomb"

Yes, yes there is absolutely a way it works. How often do you ever see a coach and gm get multiple chances at picking the qb? If it happens if damn rare. And the jury is still out on Morgan. poo draft last year, 2025 is trending down so yeah I suspect after next year we will have a pretty good resume to judge dan and dave.

You're referring to the guy who not long ago got stung by the criticism of how many different coaches he'd been through in a short cycle? The same guy who also not much more than a week ago went on record saying he really loved what he saw Dan Morgan and Dave Canales building here? That David Tepper? Okay, sure Lemme guess: Is David Tepper sitting right next to you in the room again?

he is a fool to think that if it goes sideways next year, after picking up the 5th, that tepper will let dan and dave paint bryce as a scapegoat and let them bring in "their" guy in year 4. No fuging owner is letting that happen.

Not really. Frankly, there is no one "way it works" in the NFL... And for whatever I may think of Tepper, I don't believe he's quite dumb enough to put blame on two guys who at the moment are doing decent jobs (especially Morgan this year) for not succeeding with a guy that it was his insistence we take.

My solution: Defenders launch with all your might into the QB's head. You're going to get flagged anyway, so punish the QBs who want to slide. It's the same 15 yards if you try to avoid and happen to graze a bitch-made QB flopping like a landed trout, or if you spear him in the chest with your helmet. So go all out. Eventually the QBs will start to question if the free 15 yards is worth the sledgehammer they're about to take to the dome.

I think I read they are keeping him out there for his blocking skills lol so, last pick in rd 1, that they traded up to get…..blocking I think they just use him wrong. He is never going to be that polished route tree runner…if they wanted that Ladd was there guy

Lamar slightly built a made of glass aging duel threat (yea hes 28 but that's old for his play style). Mahomes suffered a busted kneecap in 2019 on a sneak. Rodgers ran them all the time until is late 30s..... not the same as not believing the guy has the strength to make it successful.

Not that any corner wouldn't struggle with this kind of speed, but it's the only time I'm slightly asking myself is horn okay when thrown at.

history says there is zero chance David Tepper lets a losing HC have a shot to do it "his way" starting year 4. Heck, not even Tepper. You can go league wide with that. Coaches aren't afforded that sort of time line in today's NFL.

Ego, they are garbage and most coaches feel like they field a better team with better scheming. Also, personnel differences. Plus, coaches can't count on 11 flags and numerous horrible spots to keep their teams in the game against us.

Yeah we're paying too much for offensive guards. That was never a long term approach. I expect some changes by 2027. I don't think the pass rush is as bad as it seems on paper. If Evero would keep Big Bobby at NT with Derrick and Robinson on either side, they'll get enough push on passing plays to allow Edge rushers to make plays.

Not good Really not good Rozeboom was a desperation, stop gap pickup..but come on Jaycee

This is like his fourth game

Think I'm gonna go buy a Mega Millions ticket... (or should I go with Powerball instead?)

You would be absolutely insane to think that. If 2026 mirrors or is worse they are done. That is just how it works

AND THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE ENDEMIC PROBLEM..... 17 POINTS ON A TEN LOSS TEAM 163 YARDS PASSING AND 1TD IS ONE OF HIS TOP FIVE GAMES

Canales is currently under contract through 2029. If Bryce has a bad year next year I'd bet dollars to donuts that the following year sees Dan and Dave being allowed to pick the guy they want to replace him. Zero logic to cleaning house just over Bryce, especially when you consider that neither of them were in charge when he was taken.

There may very well be a point here. And that should be part of our scouting and scheming. I wonder how Jackson does against speed vs height as well. And then have Moerhig (sp???) double up on the speedster for some hard hits. Nothing slows up a speedster like a couple of hard tackles.

Us

There's enough data to make an educated case

I think Horn really just had one really bad play Sunday. But that's sort of what you pay him for.....that one man on man play at the goal vs Olave. That's supposed to be Horn's strength. Being able to play man over zone. I still think Horn lacks the one season that actually proves he is what we think he is.

I guess I see the game similarly to PFF, because I was texting my GC all game long about how bad the TE's were. It's a massive hole on our roster. All three have had at least one game where they looked like a pro bowler, but the week to week has been really poor. Additionally, Corbett continues to struggle. He seems like a great dude, but I think that experiment has run its course. Ick with a really bad game, but he's been good this season. Defensively man, no pass rush and no ILB. The good news is the holes on our roster are clear and evident to everyone. I still hope we go BPA in the first. We're going to have to start paying some of our guys rather than free agents with the cap money.

Huge improvement! Defense alone is enough to call it that. Big step forward with such a young team and so many new faces. That usually takes time. Bryce hasn't really improved from the end of last season. Took him 12 games to finally throw the ball deep. Canales is... better. Love his aggressive style of playcalling. Still takes too long to make the right decision regarding personnel. But he seems to have a plan for everyone on the field. Will it work is yet to be seen - looking at you XL. Evero is inconsistent and too conservative. I just really don't like his defensive philosophy, but the defense is much improved. Players or coaching? They're still improved so have to give him that.

Doubt he'll ever be elite, but as I've mentioned previously it is fair to point out that he's improved over the past two seasons and could further improve next year also. I'm still not confident in him at this point but none of us can guarantee that won't happen.
