CMC just got activated and Sam cleared the protocols.

You'd think since CMC has only played a handful of the 24 games with this coaching staff they would have adjusted a little better. For a rebuilding staff they sure like to bank on short term success with no backup plans when someone goes down

Yep. Either they don't think they're rebuilding or they just suck at doing so.

This staff seems to think we have the depth to just plug guys in with no fall-off. We do not.

Lol. They drafted a running back in the fourth round and wavered a power back from Denver. They did have a backup plan for CMC potentially missing time. Matter of fact, it’s the one position you can say we absolutely prepared as if we knew CMC could get hurt.

And proceeded to run the ball like 15 times a game until the losses/media scorn forced them to actually use the backups. I didn't mean backup player plans I meant backup play calling plans

The problem is Rhule is looking for a shortcut.  He's trying to avoid the investment of a first round pick to solidify the QB spot. It is a mistake.  I get why they went with TB actually given the Brady connection, but they should really have just gone with their favorite QB at our spot, unless they were really sure none were going to be good.  Just feels like a mistake to neglect QB like this...

Which 1st round QB are you putting behind this Oline?

Jones would die. Fields would develop bad habits. 

Darnold is no less talented than either - he was progressing nicely in those first three games before the hits started to add up. Going to a run-first offence is the only sensible solution to addressing our Oline problems this season and perhaps allows Darnold to still be salvageable.

One player especially a RB absents, should not make Donald play so poorly. He has a good group of WR and other players around him. He makes bad decision, not so accurate, and hang on to the ball to long, which has nothing to do with CMC being absent. I have questioned brady also but starting to think Donald is holding him back from opening up the play book more. Rule have stated having packages for Donald. This is why we see the same plays repeatedly called. 

I don’t recall Rhule saying that and I listen to just about every press conference. I do recall a couple weeks ago Rhule saying the playbook was limited for protection concerns but not because of Sam.

Sam Darnold isn’t good at playing QB though. There is a long long long list of guys with better raw physical talent than Tom Brady and they can’t even occupy a practice squad spot.  

The want of going to a run offense is because Sam isn’t a starting caliber QB.  That isn’t much of a debate anymore.  

Mac Jones wouldn’t die.  He processes things quick and can get the ball out.   His physical tools give him a low ceiling.  But he already is a better QB than Sam.   That helps a OL.  Bad QBs like Sam make OLs worse.

All offseason they said they needed to make it so Darnold didn't have to do everything. Then when the OL struggled mightily and CMC went down Brady expected him to be Brees all of a sudden.

We would be 6-2 with a very average yet efficient QB.   Sam isn’t being asked to be Brees.  Sam can’t do basics which ends up putting more and more stress on the O (thus himself) 

We would be 6-2 with freaking Teddy.

If Darnold's shoulder is just sore and bruised, he'll start.  If it's anything structural with the shoulder, I doubt he plays.  He seems like a pretty tough dude that can play through pain.  It wouldn't be smart to let him play if there can be lingering or worsening damage to it though.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
