Give me some hope. Can this offense be turned around?

I just assumed Snow preferred man hence us getting every man corner available. It seemed to me like the soft zone came back with Wilks. We ran a lot of Zone under Rivera. I wish we would play more man coverage.

Yeah it's strange to take Snows front 7 with Wilks Zone secondary. Recipe for dink and dunks all day long. Not so bad yesterday but we also give up a lot of 2nd/3rd and fairly long conversions. All you need is one guy to leave their zone or hand a guy off to a safety who's not paying attention. Seems like man would be easier mentally for such a young roster

Wilks is responsible for coaching the secondary and teaching the zone concepts.  He was on the sideline get into the players ears. The overall defense is Snows responsibility.

Funny you say that.  I remember him talking to Henderson after a play and it appeared he said, "I Told you....." So, it appears maybe Henderson isn't doing his job.

Unlike all the crybabies that want us to lose so that they can write juvenile open letters to David Tepper, I'm trying to remain hopeful here.

Can our offense turn it around? Can the OL gel? Can Baker get it together? Give me a few reasons to think it's a possibility.

Also, is Darnold still alive? Is he even on the sidelines? 

Bonus points if you can explain to me why our secondary sucks and is reverting to a Rivera soft zone.

In 2015, the offense struggled for the first 3 games or so.  They didn't really get it together until the fourth game.  I do think, that with the exception of qb, this team has more talent on offense than the 2015 team did.  Of course, qb is a fairly important position.   And 2015 had a more opportunistic defense that could win games even if the offense was struggling.  But turn arounds, and improvements do happen.  

Do I think this is going to be like 2015?  No, of course not. 

Could we turn it around and challenge for a playoff spot.  We could. 

Will we?  Probably not, but I will keep watching just in case.

Pretty much sums up my feelings about it.

I was wondering if some of our All22 analysts could give us some possible adjustments to look out for.

Personally, I don't think it's a matter of adjustments.  I think the offense just has to get use to playing together.

And its not just us.  There seem to be a lot of offenses around the league that look out of sync.  Tampa, Denver, Kansas City (at times), Bengals, Titans, etc....  I think its somewhat normal for September games.    The teams that get it together contend for playoff spots.  Those that don't, begin planning for the offseason.

How funny would it be if Sam starts and leads us to the playoffs and Rhule gets the last laugh since Rhule always liked Sam better anyway.

It would be a great redemption story and a lot of huddlers' heads would explode. Not going to bet my next paycheck on it though.

Robby Anderson caught over 100 balls two years ago.  He is like a 5th target.  This offense has talent.  Need to gel and get some mojo going

He has more drops than catches this season... I think there are a lot of factors in play.... Including better play calling but IMO it all hinges on Ickey and how quickly he progresses....

 

 

Baker is getting a lot of edge pressure and is already feeling ghost pressure when he isn't.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
