How did Oher do?

No news is good news. If I had to pick out one guy who turned heads last night it would have to be Artis-Payne. Our backfield is going to be ridiculous.

this will be the key.  Our run game has to hit the ground running so to speak.  Whenever our run game starts off slow we do as well.  However unlike years past, we do have a little more on the offensive side of the football. 

I'm rewatching last season now. Our run game was horrible the first half most of the season.  We got so much penetration at the guard/center position it was hard to do anything.  It's like the defenses knew when we were running.  No holes anywhere.

I agree. I truly hate it when we throw on first down incomplete and then run it right up the middle for a 1-2 yard gain on 2nd down. All that does is put us in 3rd and long situations and open the flood gates for the opposing front 7. Our dreadful line for the majority of the year just couldn't handle it. I'm a firm believer if you're going to throw on first down then you're throwing on 2nd down unless it's 2nd and 4 or less. I'd like to see a lot more variation on first down this year. IDK maybe run out of a formation where it's not dead obvious we are handing it up the middle.

    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
    • It is goofy how some people hate Bryce so much that they're flat out lying to try and remain entitled to their pessimism. It's insanity. Most fans are realists and eagerly awaiting the season to see if we get pre- or post-benching Bryce to start the season and how much he is able to do with some young and developing weapons. Many of us understand that these young guys are going to have growing pains on the job as well as the new defense, but the fans with all of the excuses for why Bryce can't be successful are pounding the no excuses drum. Personally, I'd prefer the Keep Pounding drum.
