Why did we run it so much near the goal line with our backs instead of Cam?

Why is Cotchery running screen passes and go routes?

Why isn't Funchess getting more snaps? Every time he makes a play they take him out.

When are they gonna put Delaire back at RE? He hasn't done anything since being moved to LE

Probably because they want as little wear on Cam as possible, and RBs are supposed to be able to punch it in from the 1. Cam was limping a bit at one point.

No idea, unless they thought there was some kind of favorable matchup with that specific corner where Cotchery's savvy would get him open.

Probably because he's only in for certain packages, though I wouldn't be surprised to see his role increasing. He's still the #4 WR in terms of depth chart.

Delaire was at right end on multiple occasions and couldnt get past Lewan, unless you mean why not put him at LE and let him go against right tackles like Bell.

The only big thing I did not like was playing possum with over a minute left and 2 timeouts going into halftime knowing we are going to get the ball back after the half

Yeah. Rivera, appeared to lose his aggression at the half, cause he knew he was getting the ball back to start the third.

Its fine to break out the 9-0 feel good platitude...

 

 

But Cam was harassed more yesterday and sacked more than I care to see. An injury to Cam and this team is not a Superbowl contender. 

I remember thinking at one point that we were getting a little pass happy and wishing they would run it more. The screen play needs to come back. I have no problem with running the backs inside the 5. That play fake needs to be a real threat when Cam does keep it.

They pulled Funchess out 1 play after he got leveled and drew the personal foul. I was at the game and it was a brutal hit. You could hear it from the stands. They prob just wanted to check him out.

Unless there was a second hit I'm forgetting, Ginn was the one who got hit and drew the flag.

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

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
