1st half impressions

Watching the game in Chesapeake Va, liking what I see from Benji and Olsen on offense. The running game looks like it's stuck in reverse. Pass protection has been surprisingly solid.

Defense looks solid, nice stop on 4th down in the red zone. Short has been dominant, Hardy doesn't seem to be distracted.by his legal troubles. Have been gouged a couple times in the running game.but the problems are fixable.

I Think Barner has made some good plays which im excited about, I think there are a lot of things against us in this game so i dont expect us to win (Buffalo has already played a game and we arnt playing our starting QB).

 

KB's catch would have been the second best catch of the season last year (after Hixon's catch). so thats awesome.

Wondering how Barner, Pilares, Norman, and Blanchard are not flipping burgers.

 

I think barner has done pretty well considering the blocking infront of him isnt giving him anything. He had some good blocks and a nice run when he had a semi-decent sized hole.

 

I think its a oline issue if anything

Had a good block on Spikes. Other than that been pretty bad. His first step burst is too slow. Killing him.

When you're a small back, you need speed. That he doesn't have.

I guess we could blame Shula for how he uses him too tho. He's not a RB, but a what some call it now "OW": McCluster-ish.

    • I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.
    • Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
