I always enjoy Brett Kollman. He has another podcast with EJ Snyder who has the Panthers with the number 1 draft.  
EJ has some interesting takes on our players including Chuba and our rd. 7 pick Phil Hoskins. 
 

Starts at the 57:30 mark. 
 

 

"I really don't want to throw against Carolina. They have Chinn and how Horn...Ugh, I don't want to throw against Carolina."

 

 

That made me smirk, with a lot of satisfaction.

All good. Great watch, BTW. Definitely worth the time. The “loose lips sink ships” comment at the end was great. I knew we jumped to take Marshall so Saints couldn’t, but don’t think I’d heard they were after Horn as well. Love sticking it to them! 🤣

They made me feel really better about the first four picks.  I think they love Horn, Terrace, (so do I) and Christensen at LT---they helped me see how he is a perfect fit there-I hope they are right.

Tremble:  They underestimated him, in my opinion, but value his blocking.  No mention of special teams.

I did not like the Chuba pick either.

I am not as pumped about Nixon as before, but there is a difference between playing every down and being situational.

Shi Smith just made our WR corps potentially the best in the NFL.  "Darnold has no excuses."

I did not like the Taylor CB pick when it happened, but I do now.  They love him, along with DJ.  Enough for me. 

They made good points and were spot on. 

I disagree about D.Brown, however.  He was a LG at Bama and pulled and was able to move. As a RG, he should be fine.

Loved the analysis (obviously), especially what they say about Hubbard. I agree. As I said, he was under-valued and will be solid and make some splash plays. They didn't seem overly enthused about Nixon, which I think is the biggest steal, instead gushing over Hoskins, who I also like, but I view Nixon as a potential starter at the end of the season or next year, while Hoskins will be a rotational guy...though I think a very good one.

I am thrilled to have some depth and options on our offensive line. I know LT is still a bit of a question mark, but may the best player win between Erving, Scott, and Christensen. Outside of that we have decent starters with some young talented players behind them. If all goes well we shouldn’t be scrambling for linemen next year (maybe LT if Christensen becomes LG) for once. Even if LT is a little shaky at first we have Tremble and Chuba (apparently a great blocking RB) to help on certain situations. I can already see us putting CMC out wide and leaving Tremble or Chuba in the backfield to help delay any pass rushers.

On another note... Moore, Anderson, Marshall, CMC, and potentially Shi Smith with Arnold having solid hands as well! If Darnold puts it together, and our staff believes he will, this offense should be on fire!

That Hubbard rumour needs to die. That was Rhule joking around with a Draft pick on the phone.

Watch his reaction when it was brought up in the post-Draft press conference. With a face like thunder he said something like "I love my wife dearly, but no she was not involved with this Draft."

I think EJ is wrong on Nixon btw - he's far too quick and agile to just be written off as a bullrusher.

      Nice to win, but Tim Weaver of SI has key duds among the studs

      It is hard to win in the NFL. I’m never going to put an * next to a Dub.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      We had a very favorable matchup our o-line manhandles theirs. Even Etienne looked like he would have had a great game on his limited rushing opportunities.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I think that's part of the problem, he's spreading the ball around too much, many of them are the first read play calls, and on top of that, a large portion of them are purposefully called screens or other short passes. I just looked, the Cardinals are the only other team in the league right now without at least 3 players with 100+ yards receiving so far this year, with the majority of teams having 4 or more.  And even then, their #2 right now is McBride with over 200 yards. Our 2nd leading receiver this year has 108 yards (albeit with 4 more players with 82 or more). On the surface, that might not be as alarming as you might think, but when you add into it that Bryce is currently 6th in the league in pass attempts, and it's even more alarming that he hasn't gotten a 3rd player to 100 yards so far and his second highest is only 108. XL has 39 yards on 18 targets.  Renfrow has 82 yards on 24 targets.  Tremble has 87 on 16 targets.  Sanders has 92 on 14 targets. None of those are good enough, so why aren't we calling more plays with T-Mac as the first read and forcing the ball to him (and again, that's not me wanting my guy to get more targets, that's me wanting more targets for the only productive pass catcher so far this year, I'd feel the same no matter what that player's name was). All of this is why I have issues with Canales' play calling.  How do you have a player who had 73 yards in the first half and then you only give him 1 target in the 2nd half despite playing from behind the majority of that time? You can be happy about the win, happy about Dowdle getting 200 yards, but in a game where your QB threw it 30 times, I can't accept the above sentence in the same breath, that's just terrible play calling, which is on top of the already predictable play calling in general, which is also on top of boring play designs as well. Add it all up, and THAT is why I'm unhappy even after a win, not because "my guy" didn't have a bigger game.
