Colts have one of the better o-lines in the league and had 1st and goal at the 1 and couldnt punch it in. it happens. That said, spread the field and run Darnold here. It always works. 

It does happen, on occasion, to other teams.  It's a foregone conclusion of failure for us though.  We shouldn't have to get gimmicky to gain a yard, but unfortunately here we are.  This is what you get when when you don't value a true FB and convert a PS TE to attempt the role.  This staff is very stubborn when it comes to certain positions.

Oh, my bad. Yeah no, Freeman had no carries. 

Also I was wrong about Hubbard getting one attempt near the goal line. His closest attempt came from the 32 lol.

Frustrated about pounding CMC at the goal line. He's not a power back. I was actually dreaming about bringing back Cam just to be a goal line threat.

I'm talking about Freeman not Chuba

Freeman played 4 snaps total… blew assignments on two of the snaps. The second led to a sack…. He never returned to the game.

 

Rhule said last week… if you want to play running back you need to know how to pass protect first.

 

i get the urgency to get freeman touches, but he wasn’t good in Denver either. I mean the guy got knocked down by a 5’10 170lb defensive back

The thinking that Royce Freeman is the answer and solution at goal to go situations is erroneous. Our oline got bullied on short yardage situations yesterday. 
 

I rewatched every run play…. We struggled at creating lanes, let alone gaining any push…

You're not wrong about the O-Line struggling in short yardage situations. I'd like to see them bring in Deonte Brown in short yardage. The fact they aren't even giving him some snaps right now is frustrating. Let him come on on 1st and Goal and see how he does.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
