Oh poo, I just googled him. He is a FA (didn’t even make the practice squad). The Broncos gave him a tryout 5 days ago, but we’re not impressed apparently.

Where is Carson Strong? Did he make a practice squad somewhere???

They were also playing their 3rd string RT…. Ouch…

He started off like poo, but came alive in the second half. He got them down the field twice and a lead with just over a minute left. If Rhule actually let them attempt a TD on that last drive he probably would have gotten it. The offense was finally clicking. He did this while being sacked 4 times. If he doesn’t throw the pick we might win? Sure or if Rhule lets them go for a TD, or if our defense could get one stop once we got the lead, or if they don’t call that roughing call against Burns, or if DJax can actually cover a JAG, or if Horne wouldn’t keep holding, or if Henderson doesn’t tackle that WR while Woods is getting his INT… He did what was needed to get them the lead at the end and then was left with no chance after that FG by the Browns.

Coming from the only member of Carson Strong’s Fan Club and Corral is the next Aaron Rodgers, it’s hard to take you seriously when you say something is illogical.

I’ve watched some of it. They had all the games on where I ate lunch. The field was awful and his OL was pretty bad. His TD pass to St Brown was nice because he had a couple seconds and the WR got open. I know that franchise has done very little to help him develop. Who is his best receiving weapon? His OL looks to be an issue again. He still got the W against what might be the top defense in the league. The Fields not going through his reads BS started in college because he is a “running QB,” and people love to associate that with them. The funny thing is when someone like the writer in the article I’m posting below actually did the research (which he admits can be tricky) they find out he is one of the best at it. https://thedraftnetwork.com/justin-fields-progressions-first-read-analysis/amp/ “While Fields has been criticized for his rate of attempts beyond his first read, I charted Fields as attempting more passes beyond his first read than any of the other top quarterbacks in the class.” You might be thinking “sure, but he isn’t doing it in the NFL.” My point is, if he has time and actual weapons, we can absolutely go through progressions and was best in his class featuring several elite college QBs at doing it.

Pretty bold of them to think they will all have jobs next year once our staff is all fired (especially if Baker struggles).

What’s he suppose to see on the field? His WRs not getting separation or his OL letting pass rushers come right through?

He had a pocket?

I wanted Fields so bad…

I already see we are going to have posters that originally were down on Baker stay down on him when he plays well. I know we will have the opposite as well. I feel most rational people think he did his part today and willed them into a position to win the game (only to be let down by his coach and defense).

By the way we need to teach our OL to make these DL pay for jumping up and swatting passes when they are being “blocked.” I saw an interview with an old DL who was saying he hated trying to bat down passes because the OL damn near broke his ribs when he would put his arms up.

Because they have no WRs or pass protection from their OL??

He was sacked 4 times, had a center then couldn’t snap the damn ball, a run defense that couldn’t get him the ball back and a HC who prevented him from attempting a game winning TD when he had the offense in rhythm. All of these things and he still gave them the lead with just over a minute left. To top it off he had no chance to try to capture the lead again after they got that final FG.

Yeah his weaknesses were his HC, pass protection, and run defense.

I know, I always fall for it. I told my wife they just got the lead only to crush my spirits one more time. It’s really hard to watch that defense though. Our offense seemed to settle down, but damn we couldn’t tackle poo.

I’m just pissed off they reeled me back into that game just to let me down again.

Me too! I was about to start celebrating…

Stop crying and grow up. Baker rallied this team with CMC. He had a game winning drive in which Rhule made them settle for a FG and then our “#2 defense” let them go right down the field. Is Trubisky better than Burrow because Burrow started off bad and lost to him? You are just crying because we didn’t get the win. Look at our OL play (first half), run defense (how many YAC did they average) and Rhule’s dumb decision to settle for a FG. Give me something legit instead of crying because we lost and blaming it on the QB who almost willed us a win we had no business getting.

But aside from all of that… what could he have done differently??? (sarcasm)

You watched the game and that’s what you came away with? I’m just going to assume you didn’t watch.

Not played for the FG when we got deep in the RZ. Our offense was clicking and he went up the middle to setup a FG and let our struggling defense try to win the game. Conservative coaching doesn’t work in this league. Let Baker or CMC try to get it in the end zone then settle for a FG if you can’t.
