This is a question that I have wondered about ever since game 1 last year. Why don't we better utilize Donte Rosario? Last year at SD the guy was great. He had 9 catches and the game winner, yet I think he ended the year with 16 total grabs. Today he was big down the stretch making 3 catches all in the 4th Q.

Looking at the stats from todays game, we threw to Smith 15 times and Moose 7. The 3rd and 4rth WR were thrown at 1 time each. I know the offense was good today, but we need to use other options. A good TE is huge, we saw that today with Gonzalez. King is not that guy and I know he is a better blocker, but we need to use Rosario more. This guy is no T. Gonzalez but I really believe he could grab 3-4 a game and help stretch the middle of the field.

our TEs had plenty of yardage given who our first two WRs are.

I'll say this, rather the TEs than our backs. They should be fantastic in the passing game and are just average.

At any rate, you've been asking since week 1 last year because he got trampled in that celebration and then hurt his back. Looks healthy now, and I think we'll see more of Rosario receiving than last year.

I agree that our TEs are underutilized in the passing game. Other teams kill us with their TEs, we could use ours to open up to the WRs more. We did throw to ours more today than in games past, and I hope that continues. We have an offense that would allow for good ball control if we threw more 'dinks' to the RBs and short tosses over the middle to the TEs. Jake had a much better game today than the past 2, but he still looks to Smith and Moose way too often. Giving the other defense something more to think about will only help us.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
