If Silotolu Starts...

the only games we win are the ones where the defense can  dominate.  Amini single-handedly almost cost us this game.

As soon as he was on the OLine, every play crumbled.  We couldn't move the ball.  If Jarrett were any kind of smart, he'd have punted on the 4th and 10 and pinned us.  Lucky for us, he was world-class stupid with play calling and time management.

Cam won't last half the season if we have to start Amini.  At this point, I don't want him near an NFL field unless it's for the opposite team.

I agree he is a drive killer and will get your QB killed. Even when Taylor Moton got beat he at least tripped two Cowboys Defenders to prevent them from having a free shot at Cam. Amini doesnt even have the awareness to hold or grab a facemask. I hope Corey Robinson starts this week.

Yeah, Amini isn't starting material. He isn't second string material. He was suited up and could fog up a mirror when the team had nobody left to throw into the game who knew the play calls.

We got lucky that we had a lead and that our defense can hold ground when we need it to.

I don't think Rivera was on the sidelines just rocking the happy dance that Amini was going into the game.

Stop it. Do any of you not realize Amini DIDNT START THE GAME. He started TWO rookies over Amini. That should tell you everything you need to know. Amini went in bc the new swing tackle isn't up to speed yet. Stop bitching about a good decision that you don't understand.

up to speed? lol as an o linemen you either pass block or run block, there is nothing to get up to speed with.

Yes.  We all realize that.  Do *you* realize that we started *ZERO* rookies on the O-line?  Not two?  In fact, our only rookie O-lineman was inactive yesterday.

The guy *directly* cost us one point.  No debate.  He may have cost us three more, depending on the blocking responsibilities for CMC's fumble near the goal line.  Yea, Amini was in as the jumbo tackle on that play.

Honestly . . . the decision everyone here is baffled about is not why Amini was in the game.  It's why he's even EMPLOYED.

Do we still even know whether Robinson is healthy or not? I've still heard no update on how his foot injury is going.

If Robinson is not ready to start next week we need to strongly consider signing or trading for someone.  Unfortunately, Sirles is not even an option for us until Week 6.

Silatolu has taken over the whipping boy mantle from Brentin Bersin.  He shouldn't be starting or necessarily even on a team with OL depth.  However, at this point, our OL depth is as bad as WR depth was until recently.

Silatolu is not 100% to blame.  He is not a starting caliber OG, let alone an OT which he was pressed into being yesterday.

But yeah, the coaching staff needs a better plan than to just start Silatolu and hope for the best

Yeah we basically didn't have a T. The look in Amini's eyes when lined up said it all lol.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
