Question Re: CAR @ Pitt


Recommended Posts

Here's something I've been curious about for awhile.

 

We all know that the fourth preseason game is garbage time; a last chance for guys on the bubble to make the the team and separate themselves from the rest. However, Rivera has stated that he wants his starters getting more reps at Pittsburgh. It remains to see how far he goes with that given Cam is certainly out.

 

Anyway, to the question at hand. Someone in the know, help me out.

 

Do the staffs of opposing teams ever communicate before a preseason game to discuss how much they plan to play starters and such? Or are decisions made largely in reaction to what the other coach is doing on the field?

Definitely. Kinda like "I'm gonna see what this guy has,do you wanna check what you have?"

I don't know for sure but it probably depends on the coach. Just like some coaches will do joint practices with their preseason opponents in the week leading up to their game. I'm sure those coaches talk before hand. Maybe guys like Rivera who don't do those joint practices won't communicate with them. But I don't know for sure.

Our OL and patched together secondary need some reps.

I agree. I would add I think our first string O should get some quick work. A just in case, so we are prepared if DA HAD to start week 1. Let DA have some more live action with the WRs

Our defensive front 7 shouldn't see the field

    • Burns quit on his team, full stop. Burns was and continues to be a liability in the run.    JC has never looked this bad before the concussion. He always was a very solid tackler, from what I remember.  I’ll take the overall body of his work over his current down stretch. I’ve never had to question his heart. The FO has royally screwed up roster management in many other deals but retaining Horn continues to be the right move. He will be back to form next season. 
    • I get it. I was making a joke that we have zero chance of winning.  
    • Did Bryce play bad? Yes. Did the whole offense play bad? Yes.  Was Canales bad with his playcalling? Yes. Now with that being said I don't put this loss solely on Bryce Young. The seahawks are a much more talented team than us and to win in a scenario like that you need some luck which we didn't have that day.  Bryce has shown this year that you can win with him at QB but the problem is that he doesn't have the ability to elevate the rest of the team around him. Bryce was a number 1 overall pick who we traded a haul of assets to get going into the end of his 3rd year the expectations need to be much higher than 54 yards passing.  It's been nice to get some wins this year and have a chance to make the playoffs and Bryce has played a part in that but at some point the front office needs to see that you can't keep giving Bryce a pass for these low production games.
