Interesting Curtco Factoid

Our red zone effeciency wasnt as bad as memory serves.  We were tied with the Browns at 14 for 58%.  Bad thing is the last 3 games was 44% and last game was 33%.  Seems force feeding McCaffery is not a good way to score TDs

I don’t know why we’d be looking to replace him with any of these jags we’ve been signing (other than Anderson, not a jag). Curtis did the best he could with the trash we had at QB last year and the year before he seemed to score a TD every third touch (only a slight exaggeration).  He body catches a little, but still catches most catchable balls thrown his way. He just needs more opportunities.

Collectively it has been garbage the last 4 years or so. At least it certainly feels that way.

People have been dogging Samuel seemingly since he was drafted.  Why?  Because he didn't put up stupid receiving numbers in college (as a RB), was hurt early on, has been working with backup QBs and a staff that tried to run the entire offense through one guy, CMC.  Never mind he's a helluva Swiss knife.  These are the people that want #1 WR talent three or four deep.  You know, the ones STILL wanting to take a WR at#7.

He has gotten better.  Hopefully this staff will shorten up some of his routes instead of using him as a one trick pony as the deep threat.

Exactly.  He ran shorter routes some, but definitely during the 2nd half of the season it seemed his job was to run deep and try to open up the underneath stuff for CMC.

In fairness to Samuel, he got open deep at least 10 times I can remember off the top of my head and Allen may have connected on 1-2 of those.

I hope Teddy can throw it deeper than it has appeared for most of his career.

Or maybe we paid Anderson $10M a year so him and Samuel can take turns trying to run the defense off CMC

I really hope with the Anderson signing we stay 3 wide most of the year otherwise someone is being wasted... Both can take the top off even out of the slot so it's exciting to see what this offense can do. TB is light-years better then Allen and dj still balled. Keep pounding!

    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.  
    • I still go back to the beat writers having a read on Rodriguez IF he was in play at 19.  If Dan puts his nuts on the table and takes him, pretty solid job of keeping the secrets in house.
