I would hope so. Only two payers are running routes, everyone else is blocking with 7 defenders staying back in coverage.

We really need Tremble or Thomas to start building some chemistry with Baker. With Rhule wanting to run the ball a lot (Icky is going to crush some people in run blocking BTW), our TEs should see more opportunities.

He is playing as good as most QBs do early in TC. Especially those on new teams/offenses. I remember Cam throwing INTs/fighting Norman. That’s just part of learning new plays/timing. He has shown he can help a bad franchise get into the playoffs. They however has a better coach and probably roster than we currently do.

Read his posts and look no further. Troll account crying about how good Sam is and calling people “sheep.”

Why is @SammyFranchisestill an account? It’s as clear as day it’s a pure troll account…

He eats bull rushes for breakfast with a side of pancakes.

Garry COBB! Show some respect man!

Matt Corral/Chuck Norris Thread. Matt Corral always comes first....

Lol right? It’s under the huge assumption that BC is a solid LT (skeptical) and Icky because a great LT (hopeful). If we somehow had 2 then trade the older one with less potential for a nice return.

If he isn’t then Icky should be LT sooner vs later.

Yeah not sure how that conclusion was drawn….

*This is all assuming BC is solid was a very important line in my post. If he is and Icky needs some more time LG for Icky starting off is ok. He is our future at the position with a massive (pun intended ceiling). If starting him at LG is the quickest way for him to see the field then I understand the thought process.

Icky’s ceiling is through the roof and his floor (as already stated) is a great LG. Cross is a LT or burst, and the Alabama LT has some injury flags. Icky was the best option IMO. We just happen to have a player in BC who might be a solid LT, but not LG and we can use him until Icky is ready to made the jump then trade him for a nice return. This is all assuming BC is solid. He might look good in TC and struggle to where Icky will make the switch sooner.

@MHS831 already had a good solution. If BC is looking great at LT then start letting Icky get reps at LG for now. BC at LT and Icky at LG is a solid left side if BC is playing so well. We can slide Icky over to LT as he gets better and possibly trade BC next season if he proves to be a solid LT.

You’d be surprised. I mean they are writing “watching film” into contracts. Willie Colon was saying there are 3 types of players. Ones that are above average athletically, but just their ass everyday trying to get an advantage. Ones that have peak athletic ability AND do the work. The third are a group that think their God given talent will take care of them and they don’t need to do much outside of mandatory meetings/practice.

Didn’t even catch that. Thanks!

He clearly didn’t welcome any QB competition with the Browns inquiring about Watson either.

Man it sounds like he is maturing. I mean he is saying and doing all the right things (changing his contract for incentives, welcoming the open competition, practicing with WRs during dead periods). IF and I know it's a big IF he has matured, his photographic memory with his arm talent could very well be a steal for us. I want to get excited, but I will need to "see it to believe it" at this point.

As the GM, Fitt is definitely responsible too. If the HC (who has full roster control) is preaching to you that Sam is his guy and better than any player in this draft then I think Fitt could have been in a tough position. The trade was questionable, but I could understand it. Passing on Fields and extending Sam was inexcusable IMO.

It's all a trick. He scribbled down fake plays to leak them to the opposing teams. Just wait until gameday!

What exactly are you trying to do here? I could care less how it looks if it truly protects players. If anyone does care it won't be hard the the NFL's marketing department to spice them up while not sacrificing any safety.

That's a pretty big weakness actually IMO. If a player gets in his head (which appears to be easy to do) he is going to rack up penalties and play worse...

I like the optimism, but I think it was simply a Rhule blunder. He thought he knew the secret to Darnold's success and he could achieve it here. He wanted to extend him to save money because he was banking on Darnold having a successful year with us and we would have a good QB relatively cheap one more year to solidify the OL. He gambled (foolishly IMO) and lost. Darnold playing great here would have been an outlier based on his career and QBs that struggled and transferred teams. Rhule bet on an outlier and now looks foolish for it.

If it truly protects the players, I could care less how it looks. Plus I'm sure there is a way to make them more visually appealing for actual games.

His confidence is just much greater than Sam's. That will carryover on the field.
