I knew he was going to be a bust when they said he needed to get stronger.  Uh, the dude is 25, if it aint happened yet it sure as hell aint going to happen in the future.

Yeah, we could have had day 1 starters on the oline and we have to go into next year on another maybe if we are lucky guy...All the BPA believers need to see why BPA is a fantasy without positional value and needs mixed in. Our D needed a CB even when it was going to be solid but out dumpster fire of an oline gets no meaningful contributors. Huge fail by Fitts.

BPA strategy is fuging retarded and I have said so forever.  Evaluate better.  That said picking Slater would have been a reach.  Oh yeah, how is that working out for us now?

BPA relies on all starting positions being filled, in this case by Darnold, Elf and Erving...That is a complete failure in personnel evaluation. With years of tape to back that up.

Slater was never a reach, all they draft hype by the media is almost completely entertainment value of BS opinions and nothing else. The failure was thinking we were good to go and build a better D by ignoring our offense. Need can be dangerous but ignoring or just being woefully wrong at evaluations is just as bad.

The LT literally doesnt hit anyone all play.  He kindof reaches out a couple of times but thats it.  Maybe that is common in a pass play but I kindof doubt it.

You're right now that I watch it again. 

The whole line shift on the play is weird.

Actually, if you think about it, is it more likely the whole line screwed up with that shift left, or that Sam screwed up and rolled right thinking it was a different play?

Bootlegs like that frequently have the line flowing like that to simulate a run and get the DL and LBs flowing that direction, creating separation between them and the crossing receiver. That appears to be a smart/disciplined play from the DE who stayed home or perhaps was even schemed to be watching for exactly that type of action on that play.

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      A team should always be putting at least one or two draft picks in at tackle and guard each season. Those guys just don't last nearly long enough and those that do get very, very expensive. In our situation, we need a little more time to see what the Icky injury works itself out to. Njiman performed really well out there and if this injury lingers into the next season, then he might do well enough there to hold the line for the team. Or we could draft early if there is a stud LOT in the draft when our spot comes along.  Honestly, we may be looking at replacing both LT and RT this season at this point. Moton is getting long in the tooth and while he deserves a shot to go for a playoff run with this team, I don't know whether we will really see him come back next season yet. It's still so darned early in all of this to say.

      Because we had a ton of things go our way this year and made the playoffs with a -70 point differential.  This year was the outlier.  Regression to the mean is unavoidable.  So the team will have to significantly improve to beat 8 wins next year.

      One thing I noticed in this game (and I say this as the biggest of Bryce Young haters) is that Bryce did do a solid job of throwing into voids in this game, and leading receivers on crossers.  There were a few times where I was thinking "where the hell is he throwing it" only for a receiver to appear out of nowhere and catch it in stride.  Mike McDaniel might be a guy that can squeeze a little bit of production out of the otherwise ghastly Bryce Young. His offenses heavily feature that style of passing game.  I've heard Idzik is drawing interest from other teams.  If so, bringing McDaniel in at OC would be a stellar move.  I know it'll never happen, but fun to think about.
