Benjamin also couldn't get going Rivera says because of protection up front. He often didn't have time for downfield routes to develop.

Maybe, just maybe we should try some short and intermediate routes to loosen things up when Cam doesn't have time for downfield routes to develop?

Here's a brilliant idea. It's called a short route. Get the ball in his hands. 

I agree for sure but just saying that DB contact is allowed within 5 yards and their corners were pressing the sh*t out of our guys within 5, so even the short routes would take longer than you think they would. Or they wouldn't be there. That's why Funch struggled so much. He needs quite a bit of work on his technique off the line. KB theoretically should've been able to handle the pressing but Waynes played an amazing game. Pretty much shut him down completely. Not so sure that short routes would've helped that much yesterday. I agree Shula needs to add them to our offense as they are crucial at times and maybe they'd have made a difference, but there were more than a few coverage sacks. On the safety Cam had time and the WR's routes developed, they just didn't get separation.

    • How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.
    • I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.      
    • Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
