CRA

Medium difficultly

My preference also is just picking a RB and letting them be the dude. I don’t really care who. Both Hubbard and Rico IMO are volume runners and lesser versions in a split. Both IMO get stronger with reps and flow.

Think it’s 2 things 1 -we hit a stretch of bad defenses when it popped off and it was mid season 2 - teams then really zeroed in on not letting that be a thing and often it was some better defenses going about that mission But if good NFL defenses want to zero in and stop the run….it gets bottled. Tough to run your way out of that issue. Pass has to make them pay big for that.

I literally almost did D with this one. I opted not to here because I think that deserves its own. Evero is the most controversial guy not named Bryce on the huddle and it would dominate most likely.

It’s been answered. Regular season is over. It’s looking at where Dave (a rare O HC here) stands at the conclusion of his second year. And you are whining.

Evero’s defense is best defined by that Baker INT. It’s literally just wanting a QB to be dumb as they get tired of slowly picking it.

You are in here whining about people talking about Dave’s year 2 O in review.

I simply posted the year end final stats. At the years end. Playoffs are always viewed as a next chapter. Which is why the stats are also separated. and it’s relevant to how we now have to go about finding a way to compete…as we all guess the right strategy that should be used on Saturday. And it will be relevant after that. don’t participate in this thread then bro. It’s that easy. Go do Rams only talk or whatever your preference is

As shown here with 2025 vs a 2013 team….slow and plodding is fine. But you need to be like 2013. Not 2025. 2013 we were good when we went about it. Scoring %. TO%. 3rd down % and redzone %.

Canales isn’t being trashed in this thread. There are compliments and critiques. where we stand at the conclusion of year 2 is just elementary and normal football talk…and a we now have finalized season to take it in. it’s also relevant as we look to the postseason. It’s the whole look at yourself in the mirror and think of how are you going to try to find a close game. It’s going to take an ugly game. We got to make it ugly.

I think despite being a suspect playcaller…..he gets a solid grade for his big picture management of how to make the most out of what we have. He has figured out the general managment of how to deploy things to find a close game

Did you stop with a one stat cherry pick because if you went further you saw a 2013 rushing team under a defensive head coach that on offense also was…. 12th - scoring % 7th - TO% 9th - 3rd down % 7th - redzone % And it auto killled your narrative?? It almost seems like you were trying to suggest the 12-4 team was basically similar lol. This what made it drastically different

27th ranked O (yardage) 27th- points 27th - yards per offensive play 27th - scoring % 29th - TO% 25th - 3rd down % 24th - redzone % 26th - EPA/play

the entire Bryce defense system is built on ignoring 99% of stats......find one very very specific angle to look at him and declare that is all that matters. In this case, it also involves only half a season for that one stat to be looked at.

Could you imagine Bryce playing yesterday on the Saints team? I mean we saw a version of such his rookie year (only Bryce’s scenario was much better) 0 points would have been scored

lol….you are suggesting if Bryce shows he isn’t the dude one more time and has one more bad game…..you would finally change your stance on him? That isn’t true. It would just be excuse making. He is what he is. Another game isn’t going to change anything. I want the TEAM to take advantage of this luxury and grow and learn from it. Not for it to be wasted. So I expect and support Dave to keep doing what he has been doing

Has Luke done the drum? You get the same chant from the crowd and everyone knows him.

Is there even a single picture up of Cam at BOA? I think there is something there between some folks that isn’t resolved We probably will get Jake or someone tight with the org. bit 10000% SHOULD be Cam. But I just don’t see it until it happens

I mean it is. Thats literally how we have won most games or had the opportunity. The formula to win gives you the opportunity. It doesn't guarantee it lol. Thats how we beat the Rams. Beat the Packers. We had opportunity Saturday. Putting it on Bryce from the jump is the definition of a losing strategy. Even most Bryce stans know this. You just what to argue

you are partially right. We lack the key playmaker. It's the QB. Instead you fixate on why everyone can't lift up the guy who is supposed to lift them up. RBs would make more guys miss if Bryce put the ball on them at the right time. Those get pointed out often live during the game. But he is late with most things. So the advantageous windows close and they become dump offs. Bryce is part of why the screen game never sets up right. QBs that want to attack downfield do. QBs that need Tyreek Hill.....aren't QBs that attack downfield. See Jake. You could give Jake Delhomme one big body possession WR. He was a downfield attacking QB. And so he would go to town downfield with just Moose as his WR. We saw that play out as well. And John Fox wasn't scheming up throws for Jake downfield. He was mostly begging Jake to please be safe lol.

We have an entire season that tells that is exactly how we lose. The formula to win is a clear science at this point we run. We hope it is ugly. We sit back on D and hope to capitalize on mistakes. We ask Bryce to make about 2-3 real throws in favorable setups. We hope in the 4th quarter we are in a one score game. your formula is how the score would be 30-0 at the half It’s a tough way to win games but it is what it is. You are dependent on the other team to not have a good days. Do we want a chance at another miracle or do we just want to lose it out the gate? Dave is going to try to win I would think. That’s the whole point. Not some Bryce fantasy being forever wished

he accidentally stumbled into the point people have made all season he has been arguing against lol

It’s a great comp IMO. He was bad, just like Bryce. And the folks then kept saying the same thing…..if we can just add more around him he won’t stink. it’s not his fault. Same folks were fixated on the most marginal improvement. He had his big year 3 too lol. they even have the same parallels of BARELY surpassing 3k for the only time in year 3. Only Joey wasn’t in the passing era then and their career comp % are pretty comparable at the time if you factor the era difference. and we are trending very similar as that era of the Lions adding all the first round WRs trying to make the QB not stink

Yeah, Harrington was an example I gave of a bad QB that got time. You should of just left at that boss what you are comparing them for? Different eras and times, Harrington’s rookie year, league average was 59%. League average today is 64%. Bryce didn’t get his above 60 until this year and is still below league average. He and Harrington share that in common and you are highlighting it as Bryce being good lol. They are both BELOW and behind the league average. Bryce has improved and we are the 27th best O in the NFL thanks to his marginal improvement from horrific. Go find a bad QB that got time…..and you would find people were claiming improvement lol. They were doing it for Harrington then too.

it didn’t even take a day to get crazy Rams are #1 in yards and points. It’s a horrible matchup. We literally need lightning to strike twice. At the same spot.
