People whine about the "conservative" run first thing. At least it's a creative run game that D's do not like to play against

Defenses are built to stop the pass these days. That’s my personal belief to why scoring is down.
 

The heavy scheme we showed today is the anti-modern defense.

However, you still need to be be able to pass the ball to win in this league

That's why his staff choices should be critical in his interview for the full time gig. That would be one of the main boxes he would have to check if I were on the hiring committee.

Yeah the game thread today only went about half o r less of normal.  We can expect all sorts of bizarre pronouncements in the coming weeks trying to troll up the numbers.

Broncos offense was so bad we could afford to be conservative today in general. It was a don't fix what's not broke kinda day. Seattle will put up points so we'll see where Darnold is really at in that game. Average defense so no excuses

It was a sit back and let them fug up day. They basically quit by the 3rd quarter and Darnold was looking like an actual QB even though he rolled for a TD and sailed a ungodly amount of passes.

The team that showed up today (stout defense, strong ground game, and a QB who doesn’t make any mistakes) could go 5-0 against that group. I don’t think it’ll happen, but it at least makes the remaining couple of games worth tuning in for.

Either way Wilks starts up front with the O-line and D-line which has always been the key to success no matter your personal preference of run or pass. The score dictates that and whether you have a QB/WR's/CB's that can get their jobs done. We can all agree having a solid O-line is a major fuging relief finally

Coaching success is a mixture of things.

First off, you have to be a leader. I don't think anybody doubts Wilks is that. Players respond to him like you hope players would.

The second thing you need is the mind of a chess master when it comes to strategy and planning. Does Wilks have that? Don't know.

But if he doesn't, he can make up for it by having a good eye for staffing. One of the reasons Sean McDermott has been so good is that he built a killer staff. Can Wilks do the same?

So basically, he's got the leadership part down. Whether he can also be the chess master or the staff builder is yet to be seen, but those things are necessary if he wants to be a winner.

    • Bryce Young isn’t a bust, the Panthers are | SB Nation https://share.google/oYybGvyvzUOIgbplX From a couple months back, came up on a quick Google about Bryce Youngs processing ability. Emphases how struggles are not his fault but the poor team built around him. I don't really feel like looking for others; it's similar to various things said across the league.
    • Okay, I'm going to take a controversial stance here... maybe. I think that we are told constantly that the QB is the most important player on a football team. And many times, that is true. They can make a team or break a team. But what if the QB is just one of the cogs that makes the team work. Like the computer in a car, it doesn't run the engine, it just sends the electricity/fuel/torque where it needs to go at that minute. It feeds this, then that, this, then that again as needed. If a team is run with this mindset, and the QB is just there to feed the ball to this RB, to make sure the play gets in to all the guys on the field, to make some last moment adjustments and make some throws to open receivers, then it all works. It's game management, it's playing point guard, it's the pivot point. And, well, Bryce has been doing that. He's mostly been trying to let others do their jobs and stay out of their way. And, like it or not, the kid has shown remarkable resilience when the game is on the line. He suddenly gets tough and focused.  Nope, he's not turning in the stats to make the fans cheer. He's not throwing precision strike bombs every third play. But he's somehow there, making his contribution. He's not a star, but he's not bad either. And that makes it tough on the fanbase. It's hard to get behind him and cheer him on. Even though he's been behind center for one of our best seasons at the midpoint in a long time. Maybe he has a breakout game and passes for over 300 yards and 3 TDs. Maybe he completely collapses in a five turnover, seven sack game. Maybe he just keeps handing the ball off and making some decent mid-level throws when needed. Who knows? But I will say this. The kid that got just thrown into the bench from that sideline smash early in the Green Bay game got up like a helluva man and went back out and competed. Stats and stature aside, the guy ain't a pushover. And you've got to respect that.
