It's become clear that last years coddling Darnold and Rhule "Not wanting to give away any plays" during preseason games was more about having no fuging plan in the first place. They had like 6 plays in the bag and every team knew them by week 4. Apparently McAdoo has an all you can eat menu with almost too many options, will make potentially adding a reserve QB a little more challenging, It'll have to be a vet like Matt Barkley/Hoyer/etc if we end up needing one

The Bills got very aggressive sending pressure, and I always like to see a screen mixed into the calls here and there in that case. Sure enough we gashed them on a screen. Glad to see we actually react to what is happening now; unlike last season when we ran plays no matter what the opposing defense was doing.

One thing that was clear cut was just how bad Sam is at reading the field. Has hasn't improved at all. What a waste of money and draft capital. He's only decisive when he sees a check down open, or it's a designed QB run. I had forgotten how much I hated watching him play. I'd rather watch PJ and that's saying something.

I mean after what we have seen from darnold

in 1.2 seasons… no wonder we were hiding/coddling him. Rhule def thought he could turn trash into treasure. Wrong.

Mcadoo is a Chinese buffet. Brady was mcdinalds right when COVID hit and all they sold were cheeseburgers and nuggets.

Even as vanilla as it is in preseason.. I can see the Playcalling on offense will be much better.. Especially since the Turner family left with Ron.. Route combination that make sense.. Smart use of screen plays.. Still trying to run the ball even if it didn't work.. Looks like Mcadoo know what to do when a team decides to blitz instead of 5 and 7 steps drops..

It's nice to have experienced coaching..

Mcadoo is the best OC Baker Mayfield has ever had.... If and I know its a big if.... BM and CMC stay healthy this could be a good-great year on offense.

It's a good thing we will only get to deal with Sam Delusional for one more season (THIS season)...

 

 ...hopefully with him holding a clipboard on the sidelines ALL SEASON LONG (provided he comes back from injury).

 

(though with this O-Line and f'n turf, I'm not so confident)

 

 

edit :  Oh...PJ is still on this team?  Bless his heart.

Love the routes on this drive. Safety was split deciding between Tremble and Shi, either one could have scored. Higgins wide open for a 1st down if the TD looks weren't there. I know it's almost a scramble drill but everyone seemed to know their 2nd level spot if the O-line bought them time

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
