Preseason Game 2 Winners and Losers


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

O-Line outside of Silatolu, Clausell, Gradkowski, and Folkerts. Backup LT is a concern if Matt were to ever go down. But top to bottom the unit looks good. 

Matt Kalil has been a solid surprise; Norwell & Turner have been stellar as always; Ryan is Ryan; Darryl Williams has gotten much better; Moton has been really impressive; Tyler Larsen is as good of a backup center you'll find; Chris Scott is an adequate backup at right guard; Dan France and Van Roten have been solid depth at guard; and Yankey has been solid as well grading out as the top left guard for week one.

And biggest loser today.......the coaching staff

 

I posted in the game thread.  

We havnt watched film on them for a week like we would in the regular season.

BUT we have played them TWICE this week already in scrimmages. And Still making the same mistakes except even worse than the time before.

I get we didn't see film on Taylor their 3rd rounder from this year.  But he ran wide open day 1 this against us.  Then day 2 got even Wider open against us.  And as if we hadn't seen him do it to us in 2 other scrimmages this week, he makes our DBs look lost Again!

 

Kk and Pep pushed through their OL like a sled day 1.  Day 2 much much less their OL looked to do a better job.  Today 3rd time we couldn't hardly get pressure against their 1st string OL (minus the one Pep rush)

Their coaches saw mistakes in the other 2 times we played them this week and adjusted.

 

Us not so much, and this has been a major weakness all along.  We have been among the bottom of the league how adjust coming out after half.  And we clearly are still having a hard time facing the same foe for the 3rd time since Wed.

 

Tenn staff coached circles around us this week.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
