I imaging they probably want someone better, but given the state of available RBs, he might be one of their better options.

Turf might have played a role, but he also put some serious mileage on his tires last year. The guy had almost 400 touches last year.

I do hope the coaches have seen how good it is too run multiple backs in a committee. I don't want it to go back to CMC playing 90% of the snaps when he comes back.

Opposing teams will load up the box and play single high. We'll be in a ton of 3rd and 6. It'll be up to the entire passing offense (QB, RBs, WRs, TEs, OL) to convert and force them to back off.

We'll find out in a week. I enjoyed the win today, but I expect we'll see New England load up against the run big time regardless of who our starting QB is.

Quite the day for backups. Rush won against Minnesota. Trevor Siemian saved the day for New Orleans.

We almost never win the game in Atlanta. Even the 2015 squad got beat down there. It was a good team win.

Gilmore erased Pitts. I loved seeing that. Also, I think after today's announcement by Ridley, it's clear we made the right choice with DJ over Ridley in the draft. (That said, I hope Ridley gets all the help he needs.)

It's the most important question we need to answer this season.

Bill Belicheck destroys rookie QBs. I know PJ is not technically a rookie, but he's had very few live game reps. Plus, Bill will see from the Falcons game that we are playing Foxball (run the ball, play good defense). He'll have the box loaded and dare PJ to beat him. I don't anticipate that will end well for us.

To be fair, you weren't "asking for patience". You were trying to make two arguments in favor of Sam A) Sam would be a better QB than Dak if he had Dallas' OL and weapons, B) Sam could "read the field". Both of your arguments are wrong and people pointed that out.

There have been several detailed breakdowns posted to the Huddle this week demonstrating Sam's issues reading the field. He's got the arm to throw it all over the yard, but he's not processing even basic QB 101 stuff to know where to fire that cannon of arm of his.

So Matt Rhule to Penn State confirmed?

I thought the story was Hurney wanted to but got shot down by Rhule?

Chinn is doing everything in our defense Simmons would (and doing it better). The real problem is Brown hasn't become a Vita Vea level player. You just can't run on the Bucs (well, unless you're Khalil Herbert).

This guy ran back to college in Week 13. At least Rhule made it through a whole season already.

If the game was at home, I'd have more optimism, but even our 15-1 team dropped the game in Atlanta. I hope Darnold bounces back from a bad showing against the Giants and can move the team. Falcons 20 Panthers 13

That's really strange to me. All I've heard is how the Chiefs OL is the reason they are struggling this year and their OL is why Mahomes got hurt and couldn't finish their last game.

Casserio knows this deal will define his career in Houston. He has to hold out as long as he can for the very best deal.

I'm speculating, but I'm thinking the "reasons that likely will become apparent" is Houston is getting Tua in the Dolphins deal, but taking Darnold in our deal. Houston would rather have Tua than Darnold and yeah, of course they would.

Why not give it one more year until 2024 and do a package deal of Riley/Williams from Oklahoma like Arizona did with Kingsbury/Murray

The top of the 22 QB draft class isn't looking like it has many great options. Certainly none as good as 2021 did.

McCaffrey will have missed 18 of 24 games with injuries since he signed his big deal. He can't help you from the sideline and his "leadership" hasn't seem to have helped much as they've lost the last four games. Just to state my position clearly: Without the allegations, it's a no-brainer to do CMC for Watson. The allegations make the whole situation complicated.

It's still a full week until the trade deadline.
