It hard to tell for sure, but it looked like the TE on Robbie's side of the field was also open along with Chuba on that play.


That's a busted play.  There's no way both TEs should be in the same area like that.    The pick was horrible, but someone ran the wrong route.

None of those stats tell you how many are in the box. 
Watch the tape.  For identical downs and distances are teams using different alignments for Hubbard as opposed to CMC taking in to account that teams tendencies for all RBs.

You go watch the tape done seen it and the stats show we going backwards with Chuba now that he gets attention .So you think teams play all RB the same ? Henry had 10 men up around the line yesterday and that’s why Ten was able to throw all over them because his stats were 29 for 86 yards

It looked like DJ headed toward the end zone. Ian Thomas ran a wheel route in the same direction. Robbie was at the top of the screen. The TE (or WR) next to the left tackle appeared to be open. Run that play again and see if you see what I'm seeing

Thompson 82 and Thomas 80 end up within one yard of one another as the pick occurred.  Again, not defending the decision of Darnold or the wounded duck throw, but two receivers ending up in the exact same area is going to draw more defenders.

Actually, you're right. Upon further review (no pun intended), that play does appear to have two TE's in the same area. Who was the guy I saw open on Robbie's side of the field?

Robby appears to be open inside the hash; the DB bailed and was respecting his speed while protecting the sideline.  What you can't see is where that safety on that side of the field is until the ball is already in the air.  If anything, if the pass went to Robby (and he held onto the ball) it would have moved the sticks, but it's not like there was a TD pass to be had.

Also 5 Giants defenders in on that play.  That shouldn't happen unless two receivers end up in the same location and that's not by design.

The dysfunction is bad enough that I ultimately hold Rhule mostly responsible. He hired the dude, he had last word on Darnold and he had the last word on the OL. 

Tepper made him The Guy and as The Guy, he is getting The Blame.

Tepper has been all about a QB. Still Joe Brady was the one who demanded both QBs in leu of drafting one. Rhule is definitely to be held responsible but he allows his guys to manage their side of the ball. When you have the HC saying we need to be a run first team and your OC comes out and runs 10 run plays that's an OC issue. He continues he will be fired by Rhule.

Where are you getting this idea that Brady demanded anything? Do you have any source information for that because I am pretty sure this is the first time anyone has ever mentioned that.

Rhule will just give him a stern talking to.

This is exactly why drafting a RB in the top 10 and paying huge money to RB's is a dumbass decision. Drafting CMC at 8 then making him the highest paid RB were dumbass moves.

Chuba is a 4th round pick and is good. Kamara, good, third round pick. Good RB's .. elite RB's can be regularly had in rounds 3 and 4 and even later.

Well it does not help his case when Chuba drops that 9 times out of 10. 

Bingo! Darnold thinks he has a deep shot for a TD or a check down that's likely to get dropped.   I'd bet you he'd still pass up Hubbard 9-out-of-10 times given the chance.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
