Why can't we use Smith like N.E. uses Welker?

Why can't we use Smith like N.E. uses Welker? Can you imagine Smith playing sand-lot ball like Welker does? Smith is everything Welker is only faster and stronger.

It's just another example of this coaching staff being too set in it's ways. We FINALLY saw a reverse out of sheer desperation...:banghead:

The light at the end of the tunnel for me this season is the dismissal of Fox. He's had some good years here, but it's clearly time to move on.

gamble on T.O. if Bills release?

Need a better Offensive scheme also.

i never thought we would have keyshawn here. this would only be a move made by a desperate fox/hurney in their last year.

other than that, i can't really see that happening. most likely a new coach will move to a youth movement (unless it's gruden cause he hates young guys).

The biggest thing keeping us from using Smith like Welker is our passing game philosophy.

The Pats are the master at using the short and intermediate passing game. Our offensive philosophy is the run and then try and throw a 30-40 yard pass. We do NOT have a short or intermediate game.

    • I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.
    • Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
