And miss out on the #1 pick after what they did with the last one...The horrors of watchable football at the expense of them being able blow more draft picks.

I think a QB that can sit in a pocket could get this running game going just fine. I don't think the RBs are special but the running behind that line should be getting 100 yards a game.

Solid anything would be a step up in the Tepper era.

He looked like he was getting comfortable in it but yeah it's not like it was amazing from the get go. Still it looked promising. Those checkdowns opened up stuff he could take shots at vs always checking down to CMC after him.

He looked good when they went to an NFL system...then the hit happened. I always wanted Ron to force it way earlier.

That makes a lot of sense.

I only saw them blitz 5 guys. NO was brining extra and constanly winning against a better line. I have no idea why GB didn't blitz more. Really bad game plan and pressure.

I don't think they try to pull the cord for a few weeks yet unfortunately. I am not sure they will be allowed to do it anyways yet.

He isn't fast enough for that. His runs worked because they were not at all concerned about his ability and they were not blitzing. It also forces the play to one side which the D would just adjust for, takes any help from the oline away and allows an easy blitz (he obviously doesn'thandle CB blitzs well). There isn't a good option and anything you come up with can be put into a corner quickly.

One great offseason and they could be competitive with good coaching. Playoff appearance. That's how the NFL is built. We haven't seen a great offseason in the Tepper error. I don't even think we have sniffed a one good one. It's all ketchup on well done steaks here now.

They took it off the table early I think. Like week 2 or 3? Not sure what he can change tho. Less people blocking as he runs back out of protection? Take one blocker & 1 rusher out of that play and nothing really changes but maybe a 1 yard play?

Baker's biggest enemy from his past was himself. His ego was crushed here and he looks and plays more mature now. His supporting cast also meshes with his play style. Evens bails him out. It's a good setup for him. Both can be true.

If he could throw from the pocket they wouldn't need so many extra blockers and would have more than 3 receiving options. Youngs limitations put everything into a corner. It's also why running out of the formations he can run won't work well enough. It's all a dead end. There is no way to fix that with Young.

Weird seeing no dump off options but they are keeping so many to help block for that Carr'esk type drop back he needs. I don't really know what DC could do but pick his poison. I can't see one good option of what to do with Young that has a chance at working. It's built to fail.

He runs 5 yards back out of his pocket which makes blocking for the OTs impossible. He knows it and there is no better option for him so he keeps doing it.

I'm not sold on this build at all. DC handled yesterday better than Young but he still looked shook and not ready. The team was undisciplined and incredibly poorly prepared in all three phases. I don't know what the master plan will be from here on out but I need to see it. They blew enough money to inject some talent into the roster but the hit to miss ration isn't good enough yet to celebrate. The D is a mess and it didn't look like normal opening day sloppy. Then there is Tepper and that unknown. He can't be happy even if he ever did have low expectations for this year. If I could see some serious improvement and DC/Morgan step up with a good damage control plan then I could start talking beyond this horrid mess of a season but until then they can prove it like everyone else they don't deserve a pass yet. That team was so bad and so soft yesterday.

They throw them at you then?

Well they can hurry up and bench him. It's all he can do until then as I see it.

What are the conditions for free donuts now?

Shared revenue kills a lot of their cares. They would have to look to be tanking for the competition committee to care? I think being made fun of relentlessly even by your peers would create some motivation to try another way but so far it's SSDY.

That was such a crazy part! It freaked me out as a kid too.

Might be their best chance at a home game

All of Bryce's offseason work lasted 1 play Seems a moot point now

I can't believe Krispy Kreme is happy with that plug but I know they are not giving away many donuts this year
