The Boys have not recorded a sack yet this season. I did not watch their first game but saw on Sunday night, they got in the face of Eli often. He impressed with his play but unfortunately do not see Jake stepping up in the pocket or buying much time. Atlanta did bring a few blitzes last game and we held up pretty well, but that scheme is nothing compared to what Ware and them is gonna bring. They seemed to keep the Giants run game in check except for one run by Jacobs. I know they will be hungry, just hope we have a good game plan. One has to come around sooner or later.

Otah will own Spencer, Ware and Spears depending on who he sees. Kalil on Ratlif should be a good battle. Kalil will probably need some help from Wharton and Vincent. Ratlif isn't huge but he's quick. Wharton and Gross should hold their own. I think Gross has a good game against Ware.

This game will give us a chance to get our backs the ball in the flats. We know they will bring the heat and the safeties will have to pick up D or Stew, but they should be open for a second in the flats and have a chance at one on ones outside. I have a feeling we will need the pass game to open up the run a bit. Manningham tore up there secondary and the other Steve Smith got open a lot as well. They will key in more on 89 b/c he is our known weapon and the Giants don't have a number 1 so that helped out Manningham a bit. Jake will have to step up in the pocket and I unfortunately see quite a few batted balls at the LOS.

    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development competiveness and both sides of the ball particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
    • It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.
    • That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
