Going out on a limb...

Jake tosses it for 220 yards, one TD, no INTs in a win over the Falcons. The guy is definitely not the answer for the future but I think that he can at least get back to managing the game. Lets face it...the Falcons are nowhere near the Eagles in terms of defense. Our running game will set up a lot for us in this game IMO...

It's only one game, but...........Atlanta’s defense held the Dolphins scoreless for three quarters and 11:39 into the fourth quarter. Biermann and Abraham both had two sacks. Pennington had only 176 in the air, 1TD and 1 INT. Run game? Dolphins had a total of 96 yards and only 4 yards in total from the Wildcat package.

Does this mean the Dolphins aren't as good as advertised, or the Falcons are better than advertised? We'll see I reckon.

Jake threw for a lot of yards on the Falcons last year and had one of his best games of the season in the first game.

If he can come out without the "gunslinger" mentality and be content to check down a lot then I think we will be ok. We are going to get some rushing yards on them...I have a feeling the OL is going to be out to prove something.

I think Jake has his last good throwing game in Atlanta last year. If you remember...he hit his arm on a helmet or something (can't recall) and was shaking it. The game was in hand at that point, but from that game on...when we were required to rely on Jake's arm to beat a team...we lost. When we dominated the O-line and ran well...obviously we won. I think he was hurt. I honestly don't think that Jake makes it through 2 route progressions before chunking the ball. He's just the opposite of Trent Edwards in that regard.

you're combining like 2 games from two different seasons three years apart here

would you like me to reassemble this into something sensical for you?

No...his attempts dropped by nearly a 1/3rd after the Atlanta loss.

Like I said...go rewatch that game...he hit his arm on something/someone and never really got back into the 30+ attempts and nothing like the zip he had in the beginning of the season.

you're talking about the loss to Atlanta in 2009?

and holy poo you're judging this on attempts?

you really think the fact they threw more in a game where they were trailing the entire time than they did in subsequent games where they were leading for most of the times indicates jake got hurt?

do you not understand that you generally throw more when you're losing?

especially when the other team jumps out to a two score lead?

I think if jeff davidson can get his head out of his own ass we might see more runs to take the pressure off an already fragile delhomme.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
