Regarding Anderson's Rant


Mr. Scot

That's why Robbie's not a coach. Everyone and their cousin knew we had to pass the ball on that last drive, and our interior OL were dominated when they knew we were passing. Darnold barely had time for quicker developing routes and couldn't hit his throws unfortunately. Brady has been up and down with his play calling, but our OL is hot garbage. We've invested hard into our defense, but this off-season absolutely must address the OL. Two decent OL seasons in the last decade is unacceptable.

Hiring Joe Brady was my favorite offseason move heading into the Rhule regime. I was ecstatic.

I’m ready for us to relieve him of his duties at this point. How many 1st down runs did we call yesterday? Cuz it seemed like literally every drive besides our last one. How many formations did we line up in that based on the personnel alone screamed, “we r about to run it”?!?

Our offense was predictable as hell and inefficient as I’ve ever seen it. This is no over reaction either. Yesterday’s offensive performance was pathetic and an absolute spit in the face to our defense.

I know our oline sucks, but please get somebody in here that has actual experience in calling even a somewhat successful offense.

I said at the game … all we are doing is 2 runs and a pass

Yes.  A comeback is typically thrown before the receiver makes a break.  The QB reads the DB and decides whether he's leveraged to make the play or not.  Basically the QB is just throwing to a spot before the receiver reaches the top of his route.

Double moves and stuff the QB can't get the read until after the move has been made.  The QB can't even make the read until the receiver reaches the top of the route and makes his break.  Unless you see something very specific pre-snap, those types of routes are typically your last read before you check it down.

A lot really comes down to the way the play and progression are drawn up.

I know how the timing routes work.  My point is more to the fact Rhule is saying we can't throw it deep bc of the protection issues, but we kept running deep comeback routes.  Yes, they are thrown before the receiver comes out of his break, but even Robby demanded a double move bc he knew they were jumping them...  if they're being that aggressive, there isn't much of a read to make and it would likely take the same amount of time, if not quicker to get the ball out.  If the receiver sees it and know it was there, it was there.  And as I, and others have pointed out, the same thing was happening last week when Diggs got his second pick.  Brady isn't giving them anything to think about because he's running the same plays with the same routes...  regardless of the protection, if we take a shot deep the results can't be any worse than what we've gotten the last two weeks.

In theory, this sounds great.

In practice, there's no way in hell our line would give Sam enough time to let it happen. 

I keep seeing this. What I don't see is an offensive game plan, that seems to believe it as well. If Brady can dial up deep balls that end in ints he for damn sure can run a sluggo or a slant and wheel.

Seriously, also seemed like we were running down the clock every play, nothing uptempo to gas the Eagles whatsoever. They just set up a wall at the first down marker and rushed 4 over and over again because it worked basically every time

Great point. Every single time. 

Would love to see some up-tempo and its the same poo we said with Cam too. They never did that with Cam either nor did they roll him out. At least we've seen Sam rolled out on bootlegs. 

Need to mix it up some and try to gas out their defense.

this is exaclty what I told my buddies. He was pissed that we werent attacking them sitting on our routes. He is right. It's odd because Brady did this many times last year, not sure why he stopped. It's going to have to be used in our playbook... teams are going to sit underneath.

Welp. Perhaps it’s bc in order to run a double move or a stutter you have to have more than 1.2 seconds before pressure is in your face.

Throws like that require distance and accuracy. Distance and accuracy require time. 
 

Give Darnold time…you will get more double moves. 
 

We’re a year away bc we tried spent another year building the D.

    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
    • Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
