Who Charted?

Another thing Kyle doesn't really get credit for is the passes that were very much on target, well timed, and the DB just made an excellent play on. This happened at least four times from what I saw, most notably when our gameplan was to attack Jonathan Joseph deep.

Yeah, just about every one of those deep shots that were incomplete were actually really good throws and right on the money.

People just repeating mantras without thinking. This is one of the defining aspects of a Turner offense we should be well aware of.

Seriously.  This has been Norv's M.O. everywhere hes been.  From Emmitt Smith, to Ladanian Tomlinson to Adrian Peterson.  Most places hes been, he has had a stud RB that he feeds constantly.

Why does everyone keep saying it's Rivera's fault. Throughout Rivera's tenure we have always used 2 running backs. William's and Stewart, then Stewart and Tolbert. It wasn't until Norv took over and couldn't figure out how to use both CMC and CJ Anderson that we started over using our main rusher. Norv is old school and not at all with the times unfortunately for us. 

It's ron's team. He's the head coach. It all falls back on him.

Way too many lines coming from CMC. Same ol' same ol' from Rivera. Run your stud into the ground.

The rest of it looks great, but that CMC chart is very troubling.

Can you really not even remember barely 2 years back to CMC’s rookie year when he was splitting carries with Jonathan Stewart?

Say what you want, but Allen gives us a deep ball threat that Cam no longer has paired with much better accuracy. If only Allen could scramble like prime Cam.

He sure did a great job of wiggling out of a sack though.

So “same old same old Rivera” when his teams have split carries between their running backs for 7 of his 8 seasons?

Purely throwing the Ball, Allen is passing the eye test, distributing the ball well and accurately. He looks like a legit QB when passing. 

Dude just needs to hold onto the damn ball when he's sacked.

The hope would be that the OL is gonna get significant better over the season.

Not so sure I'm ready to bet on that.

While I'm still not sold on Paradis, Little looked suspiciously like an NFL caliber LT yesterday.  Young, with a lot to learn, but promising.

needs to work on his deep ball accuracy big time. his only completion over 20 yards (in the air) in any game so far is that absolute crazy smitty-esq circus catch from wright. the PI earlier was an underthrown ball and the one later was overthrown.

before CMC the stud was Cam.

So this interesting thing I take away from this is how many times they ran behind Little.  He struggled early in camp with run blocking.  My fear was that they would tip their hand by running to the right all game.

Now they could have been running away from Watt.  But still they had decent success to the left.  

Good news going forward.

And that's it right there. He has to be responsible for his players health. If we have a deep playoff run, CMC doesnt need to be exhausted from running almost every play during the season. If Norv wants to keep him on for 100% during the SB great. Otherwise, give the man a breather every now and again.
