For as much time as Bryce had to throw I think he made too many mistakes.

I missed part of the third quarter but I counted an overthrow to Mingo on what could've been a bomb, and a lot of incompletions to WRs and RBs who were smothered. I saw two rookie mistakes, which every rookie makes, and an excellent S capitalized on both of them.  

I can't recall another pass where the wideout was open for a gain, and the ball was way off. TMJ beat his man and stutter-stepped, which was truly impressive.

Sometimes I look at these guys around Young and i wonder if they're on his team or not, given how confused they are when on the field. 

To be fair, the HC seemed confused a lot as well.

I wanna add in on Terrace "Devin Funchess" Marshall.

It's week one, maybe they'll gel more in the future. A few times were legit miscommunications.

But a year 3 WR giving up on routes is maddening. Yet wants to pop his chest for making the most basic fugin' catches. 

Funchess did way more than Marshall has done

We don't have the WRs that can take the top off of a defense with Chark out, and to be totally honest I don't know how much of a difference he makes.

This team is already banged up with Chark, Thielen, and Sanders not at full speed.  We have 1 tight end who is actually competent in both phases of the run/pass game.

As for our D - we are going to get gashed by teams who can run the ball and lit up by teams who can throw it.  Atlanta is not a good team and we'll face much better down the line.

It's very possible that Mingo is the best WR by a mile, and he's awfully similar at this stage to Brandon LaFell (I don't mean that as an insult, LaFell was a passable WR2).

Thielen is Football Gordon Hayward, capable of some nice plays but gets open as easily as Ickey Ekwonu if you split him out wide.

Chark is Street Clothes.

TMJ, after two-plus seasons, gives off major Dwayne Jarrett vibes.

Smith-Marsette made two big plays, and both of them were for Atlanta.

Miles Sanders' lone big play was a lost fumble.

Enjoy your weapons, Bryce. The Huddle's blaming you for not carrying this title-contending lineup of future Canton enshrinees.

Who should be calling plays then?

Um, the OC.  The young dude from the great playcalling tree. 

not the dude who was literally just fired for what he does with the call sheet.  He should focus on being the HC

The young dude who has never called plays anywhere before?

Then don’t hire him.  Don’t hire a young exciting dude with potential from a great tree.  Whose 2nd half playcalling was better all preseason. Hire an experienced OC and let him do it.

Frank isn’t a good playcaller.  That’s not new.  He should focus on being the HC.  Was talked all preseason and when he first announced he would keep doing it here after getting fired for it

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
