I'm talking about Bryce stepping back and letting Evans do the QB sneak because Bryce was too small to try and sneak it himself

True

I only notice when Jimmy Horn is on the field and instantly gets like 5 yards on a sweep. Don't know for sure but I'm assuming they take XL off or he's not even a consideration for a target when that happens. They could probably just switch Horn and XL's roles and Horn would actually be an addition to the passing game and XL could do the stupid sweeps

Agreed but you are taking away the TE from the pushing because the QB is just stepping aside doing nothing, the tush push wouldn't have one player step back and just watch it happen.

It caught the Hawks off guard because we've never done it before, it won't catch the Bucs off guard because it is now on tape is my point.

I would be totally happy with that trade up if the pick was Stroud and he was on our team even though I like Malik and Ward and some of these other guys fyi. Crazy the Texans got to double down with Stroud and a top pass rusher after we blew it lol.

Canales about the TE sneak- "It's nice to have a sneak play" lol. Yeah usually the whole point is the QB can do it, not gonna be able to sell it next week with a TE

I see about 7-8 teams not including us still looking for a QB1

Well Raiders or Jets will get Mendoza, I dunno if the Giants are even happy with Dart after all the head shots but they are right up there too in draft order.

Just like Bryce they traded up to get him so you have to prove yourself right I guess. If you just sat and took what came your way you could explain your case as to why you took them but they might need more time. Trading up in the first you gotta own it as a pick you think is an impact player. Obviously neither one have lived up to that billing

Yeah those guys usually seem genuinely frustrated that they can't figure out what's not clicking yet, and put a lot of work in. All I see from XL in the offseason is running as fast as possible on a treadmill or something which actually looks super dangerous and pointless

Why did he get a custom sandwich in the stadium before he even played a snap this year? After a mediocre rookie season?

I agree but you got the Vikings, Steelers, Raiders, Jets, Browns, maybe even Falcons that are probably going to get into a bidding war over him considering what their QB rooms are going to look like next year and with nothing of warrant in this upcoming draft class. Throw Cardinals and Dolphins in there too lol.

On top of that he will be 25 this month, brain is pretty much fully formed already lol. It's not like he's a 20 year old freak athlete that needs a couple years to adjust, he is who he is already.

I still don't understand how you watch Stroud vs Georgia in those playoffs and are like, "yeah Bryce is our guy"

This is a #1 pick lol. Imagine if we'd just stayed patient for a year or two

Correct. When we watched Malik light it up the other day, Stafford truly launch it to try and win that game last night, plenty of more examples of that level of talent. Then we get a TE sneak because BY can't do it, we get check downs at the line of scrimmage instead of hail mary's, etc. It just seems crazy to the majority of us that you would limit your playbook so much because they have too much pride to admit that they screwed up on that massive trade up to get a "point guard", and then be too embarrassed or stubborn to actually give him any real competition in the qb room because they know if we had Malik level talent sitting on the bench Bryce would get boo'd off the field

While I stand by this opinion, he could have also thrown Dalton out there to chuck it around a few times to see if anything looked different/improved...Garbage time I know but still

Now the Rams say they have to play their starters next week, so big deal for them not getting the job done to get some rest.

If the Falcons beat the Saints we can lose and still win the division
