Cam Erving is gonna get Darnold injured

I thought the offensive line did well today.

they played significantly worse than the stat line will look IMO, but I'm no expert.

just looked like there was penetration on every passing play, and Darnold had to get the ball out in ~2.5s every single play to avoid a sack.

about the OL---when you are ahead and can mix up the offense, fine.  But when we are behind and passing it down the field is our only option--we have not seen that yet.  I reserve judgement.   Not happy with Paradis, Elf, and Erving.  Daley got beat a few times as well (gave up a sack) but he is not used to RG.

Question:  Why did they not move Daley to LG and Scott to RG when Elf got hurt?  At least Daley is familiar with LG--instead, we had 2 OL out of position (Daley, Scott) if you think about it.

You are correct. I think the run blocking was fine but Darnold dumped the ball off and threw almost everything quickly. Any time he had to go deeper, he was under pressure and Darnold stood tall and even got out of the pocket and threw it away. The OL is a problem. The one real long throw was Darnold moving around to avoid the pressure and using his arm strength to hit Anderson.

Anyone watching could see that Brady 100% game planned around the OL weakness.

Same as last season. Our scheme covers up a lot of their flaws.

Hence why I somewhat believe they don't put a high priority on OL.

    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
