a 3rd down RB is largely referencing a scenario. A 3rd and short scenario could be and often is a spot where you would insert an early down RB for example. And an early down RB can catch passes. Because teams shouldn't function as run, run, pass. 3rd and long and clear cut pass scenarios.....it's been overwhelmingly Hubbard in that role. That's your 3rd down RB right now in Carolina. Which isn't what Hubbard is. He's an early down RB too. Which is why they are dusting off Cohen. you are the one disagreeing. Feel free to break down the 3rd and longs and tell me it's not overwhelming Hubbard. I'll gladly eat crow if it's not.

our media coverage is really weak. All the good ones gone. Sheena about the only one that will step up put some pressure on folks.

I mean, after the Matt Rhule era I probably would have come in and been like... to not get drafted. I mean, Tomlin is pretty hard nosed. Never had a losing season. Ever. So I tend to lean toward Tomlin being right over our guys about folks. Plus I think teams leak whatever they want to justify their picks and make them look good. Don't second guess us. He was a bad interview. DJ Johnson was a great one. So obviously we picked DJ.

still wish we would have drafted Darnell Washington. Steelers have essentially used him as a 6th offensive lineman.

I was highly critical of the talent coming in largely because it didn't fit the type offense Bryce could find success in. NFL is all about players being in places where they fit. What I think he needs. 1. a legit receiving RB 2. a legit quick slot play We went into this season with neither. Young needs those given how he plays. Given his style and strengths. Cohen likely can come in and check one of those. But why are we waiting until in season to nurse one of those types into shape. We went into the season largely with 2 rushers we are pretending are receiving RBs and slow slot plays or bad route runners at that go to.

again, it literally just happened (one presser) and they have given tons of details in comparison to Bryce factoring that. And they probably aren't done looking at Carr's injury. He gave you what they had. you aren't making any point using New Orleans/Carr. They didn't mortgage our short term future and make Zavala the face of the franchise. Nor are multiple front office jobs tied to his success. They can just bench Zavala. No soft benching needed. and again, the most obvious answer is a soft benching. Not an ankle as the primary driver for his shadowing Dalton coast to coast...and up on an ankle every day that they want better ASAP.

lol. The injury just happened. And the NO coach has already given vastly more info out on the legitimate and significant injury. These two things are not being handled the same. and again, coaches aren't going to want to tell folks everything. That's not what they do. But Carr is 100% injured and hurt. the fact you are going here is just silly. and yes, I am making assumptions. Educated guesses. That's largely how you have to go through life. What I don't do.....is just championing NFL coaches when they bullshit as the truth tellers. Especially when there are all sorts of weird flags on something. Again, before the season started I had people blowing gaskets declaring Miles Sanders would 100% be a 3rd down featured back because Frank happened to sell some clear bullshit.

They don’t talk about it. They get asked questions and say essentially nothing. Carr has a sprained AC joint. NO Coach knows about his QB. There is no mystery. He went to the hospital. They ran a bunch of stuff on it. They feel they got lucky with it being that. And it just happened. Also spoke about how he felt Carr was trending from one day vs other. He will keep talking about it. Because that’s normal in regards to your starting QB. yes, I will view this as a soft benching because that’s what everything indicates. But but but Frank didn’t say that. Yeah, remember when folks were saying Frank said Miles Sanders was going to be a 3 down RB and folks dug into that bologna. Hubbard has been the 3rd down RB every week. Sanders has always sucked at that job. Coaches just say bullshit. And Carolina is clearly bullshitting about Bryce.

Fun fact, NFL teams are not fully honest and transparent about what goes on in their organization. Especially coaches. If you want to claim that….that, is a conspiracy theory. Young hasn’t said diddly to anyone. No one is accusing him of lying lol. You keep making these declarations that aren’t happening. what we have seen with Young….is NOT what you see with someone trying to get back on the field quickly after suffering from an ankle injury. Simple as that. What you are seeing is a rookie shadowing a vet. The reason? It’s not just the mystery ankle that no one can actually talk about. We can only guess.

Nah. We know the details of BC. This is nothing like BC. Frank won’t say that play. You say that play. You can name almost any player and I can go find a play where he is landed on oddly. And people went searching for something, anything…so you say that play. Frank didn’t say Bryce got an X- ray. So I certainly don’t expect an X-ray shown to me. The answer is in front of me. Bryce got a soft benching. And it’s easier to pretend a tweaked ankle is keeping him out. They have him shadowing Dalton. Why? Could be multiple things. A shell shocked QB or a coach that knows he had him set up to fail. Both are reasonable.

Justin Jefferson -337 receiving yards Sunday

Yeah, Frank hasn’t been clear. when did he hurt it? what type of ankle injury? is it trending better or improving? Bryce got benched. That’s the logical assumption. Why? We can only guess. What we know Bryce is doing? Shadowing Dalton coast to coast. and Frank said Bryce playing again isn’t just about doctors. It’s a trifold decision. He went into depth about that right when he, Brown and Dalton were all being weird about what is going on.

I mean, every player that has ever played here of note is an example. I just named the 2 biggest superstars and most important people. Frank is careful with his words in the very limited talk on Bryce. They all talk about it super weird. That’s just a reality. Frank, Brown, Dalton, etc.

Cam Newton was cleared with a broken back. 89 cleared with broken ribs. Frank doesn’t talk about Bryce’s ankle because no one is waiting on a doctor to say it’s ok. You are waiting on Frank and Bryce.

Depends who your opponent is. That's game planning 101. There most definitely should be plays at some point where a team sucks at defending the TE and you have plays where your TE is read 1 to take advantage of that with a play call.

Ian Thomas has the exact same base salary as Hurst and is a bigger cap hit than Hurst. Ian has the 9th biggest cap hit this year. NEXT year, Hurst jumps up to a 10 million dollar cap hit LMAO.

Yes. He hurt his ankle. Same ankle that has him walking perfectly fine, every single day, all over the place and country ….to shadow Andy Dalton. what the status of the ankle? Frank can’t tell you about the injury itself. Never has. Any aspect. Or if it is any better today than the day he hurt it. Trending in a direction to at least practice soon? Why would he know about that. But let’s ignore all that, because that’s all totally normal Conspiracy theory at this point. Is saying his ankle is why he isn’t out there doing the job he previously was.

lots of teams do it. Carrying over from college I guess. Odd they doing it with Baker though.

These gigantic holes in the Eagles game? Yeah. That’s why Miles had one really good rushing year. You could have driven a bus through that hole Swift just hit for a big gain.

We we aren’t tanking. We are sucking. we have no first round pick to tank for. You don’t tank for good position in round 2.

Well, I support Bryce sitting right now. I still think this is a horrible spot around a young QB. They need to get it better before Bryce plays. reality is, you give up the type pressure we did Sunday. With no run game. In this offense? Andy Dalton is going to have some horrible days in the near future with more of that. Just a matter of time. Just going to take a different opponent.

Dalton is a fine mentor backup. That’s what we need. There is no point in him playing outside of giving Bryce time though. That’s all. I can’t keep everyone straight. There is a building narrative that some people just want to see us win pointless games with Dalton. I don’t care about wins. Especially pointless ones with Dalton. They need to find away to get things settled to get Bryce back on the field.

Frank seemed ready to rule him out today’s presser.

maybe if they wanted Bryce to trend toward pracitcing.....you don't have him take a cross country trip to hoof it all over the country. Or hoof it all over Charlotte every day since his injury was announced. That's just me. A dude with bad feet.
