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.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
