What I'm looking for in the third preseason game

I'm honestly not worried about the Defense.  Evero will get those guys ready by Week 1 to stop the run against the Falcons.

My main concern is the offense, specifically the offensive line because it all starts up front.

- RBs must be able to run the ball and keep defenses off balance and catch passes out of the backfield

- OL must be able to protect Bryce Young, even in obvious passing situations, give him the time he needs to make the right read and throw. 

- Receivers need to run the right routes. Mingo is a stud but he still has a lot to learn when it comes to route running.  I also want to see Laviska used in this last game. 

That is what I want to see on Friday take a significant step forward.  Otherwise, we will struggle to score points this season and worse of all, will hinder Bryce's development as a QB.  He must be put in a position to be successful.

I want to see Bryce move the first offense in the first half against their starters. I know we won't be opening up the playbook  totally but a few more rollouts, motion, etc would be nice. Not really worried about much else but since it is a home game I would like to win the game since I will be in attendance.

Main concern is with the pass protection from the OL (Everyone but Moton really). Just worried they were insulated by a heavy run offense last season.  Defense probably needs some time to adjust to scheme and personnel changes.

No concerns with Bryce from what I've seen, he's looked very good in his limited snaps.

Everybody and they momma's chihuahua has been able to move the ball on our defense. Running and throwing the ball. Not sure if the team is still grapsing the scheme, if guys are out of position, or if its about playcalling.... but there's not excuse for how we've been getting bullied at the front, exposed over the middle, AND Beat downfield. 

Tackles. That what I want more of. Tackle football.

Evidence of competency. Downplay it all you want but what we've seen this preseason is concerning. Our OL hasn't slowed anyone down yet and our D is missing a lot of gap assignments. That's not a scheming thing. That's a lack of competency.

I would agree.  If you're getting exposed in 1v1s that's not due to scheme.

I concur that something from Laviska would be nice. He is a gadget guy, but he is a super athlete and it would be good to get something out of that acquisition this year. 

That's largely a scheming thing and something I would expect us not to show in preseason.

      Underdog Fantasy on Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      His entire contract is basically 90% guaranteed he got a 24 mil signing bonus and a similar prorated amount. You could save a a few million roster bonus, for '25 and '26.  If he is horrible draft someone. Make them beat him out. He can be #2 for ’25 before the season is over. Maybe before camp.  If he’s greatin ‘24 then no problem.

      I still hope he can be the next Tua. But not sure how i feel about the next years class will be. Sanders you have to deal with the Media and his dad who wont want him here. Is Beck going to be the man? Ewers had to fight off a Freshman last year. Hoping if we pick high we can do a trade like the Bears did to us.

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      I understand the point you're trying to make but Brady didn't win all those Superbowls without a good arm. You see how Bill B has done without him. I think we're getting tangled up in the significance of labels on this discussion. Good. Elite. Average. Above/below average. What it boils down to is what the individual can do when the rubber meets the road. You either can throw an adequate deep ball when situation requires or you can't. Burrow is certainly an intelligent QB. The Championship game was a combo of that and obviously a very well crafted gameplan. But IQ or "processing" ability only get you so far as well. I mean Bryce Young was regarded by many as damn near a 22 year old Professor Charles Xavier on the football field leading up to the draft. Didn't make a damn bit of difference in 16 games. Your phsyical talent shows up on the film or it doesn't.
