Know who owns Mike Evans? Bradberry. Sure could've used a proven vet these past seasons instead of throwing money down various positional toilets.

Bradberry coming back would have elevated the entire team this year. Sucks that he didn't come home.

Not being close enough to commit pass interference on any of those plays was embarrassing. If you're gonna get your ass beat, at least tackle the dude before the ball gets there so he can't walk in for a TD.

I agree and neither player is equipped mentally or physically to shut down a HoF WR by themselves.

I legit don't get it. Is it a pain tolerance thing? Is it because he's young and doesn't want to risk it? 

I'd bet his father has an influence. This league doesn't care if you're injured. If you're on the field, then you're ready to play. No excuses if you play bad trying to "help" the team.

If JC Horn played, we won.

3TDs to Evans killed us ....all three were too easy.

Those two CBs are trash.

Darnold played well, not great, but well.

We had no running game...and man, that Vita Vai destroyed our inside more often than not...How come we don't have a NG like that?

You're right. And unfortunately, there aren't many nose guards like that.

The one person away was a good HC.  That soft ass defense is what lost, that left the quick out passes open all game, and then not putting someone over the top of Evans was just the icing on the cake.  That was an embarrassing game plan and situational coaching. 

Darnold had high moments and low moments, but failed at what I needed to see him be a legit contender for our QB job next year and that was leading the team to a win on his shoulders.  He had numerous times to do it but failed with bad throws, delays of game, and other mistakes.  He did make some really good plays, that escape on the second to last drive, all three TD throws were really good, but he also underthrew a couple balls really bad and one of those was an int.

The loss is 100% on Wilks and Holcomb.

Thats the thing with players, they gotta be on the field to play.  You can say all you want "If we just had them in the game".  Not a huge knock at Horn but dude has now been injured for about 3/4th of his professional career.  If he comes back and gets injured again I will then label him as injury prone.  If you can't depend on a guy to be on the field its no use using this argument, thus making it pointless.  If we can't win with a couple starters being out we have no business being in the playoffs anyway.

      Some Thoughts on Legette based upon an ex-scout's ranking him WR1 in the draft

      By strato · Posted

      Oh yeah the QB is huge in this stuff. Imagine what Smitty could have done with a surgeon back there. And some more offensive minded head coaches. It was always run heavy. He was one of the best I ever saw and people didn’t know who he was outside of Carolina, for the longest time.

      Front office/scouting staff changes

      For sure, any college scout that touted Bryce Young as worth the first overall pick, needs to be gone. I don’t think the college scouts are so much the issue, I think it is the minds of the decision makers that have the most influence.  If this draft produces, and Morgan was really in charge, maybe Tepper will develop some respect and stay back and let people work.

      Every Xavier Legette target 2023

      I just am not aware of regimens that offer increased velocity which is the biggest weakness I can see in Young (that needs addressing right now). Is it possible to do? Who has done it that we can see as an example? I guess I am saying before I believe weights will give him added zip on the ball, I would want proof that it works.    I think weight room would help him not be pulled down by two fingers, even if they are big strong DL fingers. They are still fingers controlling 185 lbs. So that needs to be addressed but it is a secondary issue behind his footwork and ball velocity. It might help too, in allowing him to retain some velocity while not putting 100% effort into throws. Which should help his ‘deep’ ball.  I agree they can’t fix his footwork on those pistol or gun snaps where he slowly goes backwards and does the tippy toe thing.  Maybe putting him under center and taking the option of that type of drop away from him, forcing him into the classic under center style. Drop and plant and throw. Maybe that would help get around it.
