Players that helped/hurt themselves (Game 2)

HELPED

Damiere Byrd - 3 catches for 36 yards and should have had a TD but DA missed him.

Marcus Lucas - big target that had 3 grabs for 39 yards.

Jeremy Cash - solid on special teams and contributed 5 tackles on D with one for loss.

 

HURT

Daryl Worley - Had 5 tackles but was picked on often. He will learn and get better.

Scott Simonson - Got the start but could not get open and did next to nothing.

Helped:

Bene Benwikere

Damiere Byrd

Kevin Norwood

David Mayo

James Bradberry

Eric Crume

2nd string Oline - Hawkins?  I wasn't watching them too closely, but they seemed better this week.  Need to go back and watch more closely to see who did well...

Fozzy - nice shiftiness

Delaire on pass rush

Robert Lester

 

 

Hurt:

Sandland (especially thinking of the one play when he was pushed back into our backfield)

Simonson?  He's still clearly #3 on depth chart, nothing really changed, but was hoping to see him flash.

Garrett?  Was he even ever on the field?

Delaire re: Run blocking

 

Hard for me to really say too much about CAP / Wegher.  I wonder if we're deliberately not playing Wegher with the 1s so as to be able to safely stash him on the PS.  CAP had a couple of nice runs.  I'm not too worried about him.

That's right, forgot about Garrett. Apparently so did our coaching staff

I think like the OP, you have to put Lucas in the conversation of helping himself. The other TEs did next to nothing. 

Garrett was a forgotten man. If they can send Brandon Boykins packing last year, then Garrett can definitely be sent on his way this year. For that matter, Todman last year was arguably better than a few of the backs so far this year, so that's something to think about.  

Sometimes circumstances hurt you more than you hurt yourself.

I've seen this name a couple of times but, who the fug is Eric Crume? Ive never seen him mentioned in tc practice tweets and never seen him make a play on the field. 

Yeah he's an interesting guy. It's going to come down to 330lbs Crume , Robert Thomas and Kyle Love for the 5th DT spot.

And that's IF we choose to have 5DT's on our roster.

He's a DT we signed to a futures contract in Jan.

He's nearly never been mentioned in practice write ups, but he's made some very nice plays last week and this week in terms of pressure.

TEs - Besides Lucas, where were the young guys? Simonson was bad, but Sandland and Deaver don't seem to have gotten any targets at all. Why?

Sandland was blocking a lot of plays.  We seemed to be using him in a FB-esque role today.

Yup, we have ridiculous depth at DT, LB and WR.  Who we keep as a 5th DT (IF we do, as you said) is going to be a very hard choice.

I'm guessing you meant McClain?

Oops!!  I don't even have the excuse of being in Africa and writing that at 3 or 4 in the morning with the time zone difference.  I'm here in CLT until the end of the month.

I think I was thinking of DT Robert Thomas, but yes, McClain has been solid as well

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
