Cam Erving didn't look bad overall

I remember it being lauded by all the sports journalists and writers at the time too. I guess sometimes you just never know. I remember a lot of us trying to excuse it as him recovering from that broken leg but this dude looks like he is playing with two broken legs.

I think us fans see what we want to see.  It's more hope than reality.  The number one rule in watching sports is never buy into what a journalist is selling.  Most of the time it's just fluff pieces to make a paycheck.

Paradis was looking decent last year, so let’s see if he was just needing to get his feet wet. Also how does everyone feel about a Moton, Elf/Daley, Erving (C), Miller, Christensen early on? I believe Erving has played C before…

I don't think Erving at C is going to be an improvement over Paradis.

This I can agree with.  You might as well throw that rookie long snapper out there if you are down to trying  Erving. Even considering Eflien who supposedly played center is a downgrade.

I think center was the position he played in college. If he looked decent at LT with bad play at LG he might be serviceable there. I think Elf also played center, but he didn’t look so hot last night from what I hear.

Yeah, I don't think we are going to see anyone there but Paradis. Last year of his deal, so just one more to get through.

In fairness to Paradis, he has played well in stretches. Maybe we can see a few hot streaks during the year.

If he could just be average the rest of the season Darnold might have a fighting chance.  But I still see the same issues on offense.  The run game will be an issue I fear.  They did manage to run against the second team with our backups but it didn't look good.  Time will tell I suppose.

It didn't look good in that unit after free agency nor after the draft nor after the camps nor after the preseason. It just is what it is. 

If nothing else, let's hope the younger OL members show some flashes or start performing well over the course of the year. At least then we can see there is something to build from. Otherwise, it's gonna be year two of attempting to build a line around a single player(Moton).

I have a good feeling about the rookies.  I think you will see a noticeable difference when they finally get to start.  The left side is still a mystery however.  But I'm like everyone else in that I am totally mystified as to why Moton is not on the left and Christensen is not on the right at tackles. The left guard and center positions are a mess right now.

I am not even asking much, just let one of them pan out. If we can get one quality starter out of a couple of 6th rounders and a 3rd rounder, that's a win. 

Agreed on the tackle situation. I think they are just really sold on Erving. I don't know why, I can't see it personally but we will see how it works out.

I don't know that is that they are sold on him as mush as they think his experience is bit more of an advantage than pure physical talent for them at the moment.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
