Why was Kalil even active?

It seemed obvious he wasn’t going to play this week, especially when Rivera basically flat out said during the week he wouldn’t play. We had Larsen and Van Roten active. Would’ve been better off having Armah active over Kalil to provide a boost to our offense, even if just because of his energy, toughness and demeanor on the field.

    My guess? Matt practiced this week, he traveled with the team, it was probably a game time decision. It just didn't work out. Although, it could mean he is close to coming back. 

 

   As for Armageddon. Some one posted the fact that when he plays, we are only averaging 3.7 ypc. So I don't believe his contributions are a big a deal as what was thought. 

 

    Been trying to think of who I would have activated had Matt not been active. I just can't think of anyone. So I guess, to me. This isn't a big deal.

You would have thought that the coaching staff would have realized after the last 2 games, that having Armah in as FB is a big boost for our run game.  Kalil doesnt make much sense and neither does Fozzy.  

 

    Someone posted the stat earlier, that we are only averaging 3.7 ypc with Armah. So he seems to not be making the difference folks are wanting to credit him with.

 

    Would have to think they were hoping Matt would be able to go. He is obviously getting close.

other than the 40 yard break out by CMC, what did our RBs average yesterday?

and what are we averaging without him lol? 3.7 sounds pretty good compared to our average some of these games

    You can't just wipe out his 40 yarder. That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works. lol

 

    That said. I don't know. No a whole lot is my guess.

    I don't think it was much worse. Something like 3.1, or somewhere in there. Slightly over 3 anyway. He made a difference. Just not enough to call it an qualified success.

Before week 12 , the team is averaging 3.9 yards per carry . Both McCaffrey and Stew averaging below 4 ypc is bad. Cam and all of the end arounds we did skewing the ypc pretty bad too.

      As I watch Darnold tonight...

      By NAS · Posted

      So funny see people continue to talk like Darnold isn’t one of the best QBs in the NFL for the second season in a row. Two different teams and situations, he is for real and not just a product of the system.   He struggles under pressure lol what QB doesn’t? Did anyone watch Mahomes in the SB?

      Mike Jackson

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      While I was aware that Horn does not shadow WR1 I learned something interesting in the game from one of the announcers ... Horn ALWAYS plays the short side of the field.  As in, he will switch sides when the ball moves from one hash tag to the other. It seems intuitive that short side of field equals easier route coverage (correct me if I'm wrong) and expanding further I wonder if Mike Jackson was put into that role would his stats improve? If Horn is such a shut down corner, why isn't he just following the biggest WR threat around the field? Is there something inherently harder about covering the short side of the field?  Why make life easier for your best CB?

      Chuba love

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I wonder what the true state of Chuba's calf is? I remember it being mentioned a couple of times last year that it was something they were managing then after the Cardinals game last year we put him on IR. He then reinjured it this year. That would seem to explain why he looks slower and less explosive than in years past. Chubas running style was a one cut explode through the hole type of back and it just doesn't look like he has that ability right now.
