without getting too technical because the all-22 isnt made available until later (for whatever reason), we can still look and get a good idea of whats going on. At the game i was very frustrated watching the ball sail on 3rd and shorts, but i was i drunk and hollering at the opposing bench so i wasnt reallywatching the plays unfold.

 

First one were going to look at happened in the 3rd quarter after the interception. its 3rd and 2 and what you have is KB and Avant running short crossing routes with olsen running a wheel route out of the backfield and cotchery clearing the safety on the other side. Here you can clearly see that KB is wide ass open, but if cam throws him the ball, its going to clunk off his helmet because hes not reading the zones right and hes not realizing he could turn into the hot read.

This one frustrated me because Cam delivers a catchable ball, albeit a hard one. But again, Cam has no immediate bail out due to the other receivers failing to get any separation and timing being off. The checkdown wasnt even close to being an option so the only throw was down the field again. (im not going to post 9124912874 screen shots so just take my word that the short dig was blanketed, the checkdown had a sitting LB, and cotchery got both hands on the ball.

This next play seemed to be a clear designed play to olsen with the way the two outside receivers run right at their man and cut inside to give Olsen room underneath his route (corner). Cam missed this one.

This one is just flat out self explanatory and it has nothing to do with Cam. Look at the big yellow line and look at where all our routes are going save for a slow ass Avant thats not even close to being a threat to get a first down (that db would have picked the ball). I mean its 3rd and 5 and 60% of his options were 15+ yards down field.

Like i said, this isnt exactly definitive proof of anything until i can watch the all 22 tomorrow but a glimpse into what kind of play calls are in Shulas 3rd down cycle. Do with it what you will.. when the coaches film is available i might be able to get into presnap reads/adjustments but for now we just have to settle for this. But for now, i see terrible playcalling (shocker) and one terrible throw. Plus notice how far back the O-line gets pushed from the LOS and how ineffective some of our route runners are on each play.

 

 

Take it away boys...

trust me, the DB was basically jogging behind avant and baiting cam to throw that ball.

 

Hang on, let me do some math....

 

9....times 7.....carry the 4........divide by Cuba......

 

Yep, Cam can throw faster than that guy can run. He's not standing behind the WR waiting, he's chasing him.

 

 

Of course, Cam probably would have overthrown or thrown behind him so.....yeah.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
