Frank Reich seemed super depressed in the presser today. Not sure if from the Bryce injury or that his expectations have been lowered. Seems like a guy who was lied to or set up to fail and just trying to make the best of a situation. 
 

Not a Reich fan, just what I observed by his body language. Reminded me of new sales guy at work trying to explain how a product works for the first time.

Frank knew in that presser he is going to start Andy Dalton this week IMO.  

and Frank knows he has a mess on his hands in terms of dealing w/ those outside BOA coming.    That folks are going to be coming at the fired Indy coach soon.....with the same complaints.    and really early.  Which is a bad start for the Frank era.

Game is in Seattle this week. 

I wasn't talking about in the stands of BOA.  I mean, outside BOA.  So the media gets ramped on him.  The talk shows.  The online world. 

It's already frankly started.  And it's super early for Frank to be dealing with all the stuff that got him ran out of Indy.  Honeymoon window already over.  Which was SUPER quick. I think Frank feels that.

I hate to say it. It’s looking like we should’ve drafted CJ Stroud. F u c k you David Tepper!!!!!!

CJ and Bryce were always 1a and 1b. Just depended on what type of offense you wanted to run. I never bought into that clear cut #1 label. Reich wants quick decisions and getting the ball out within 2-3 seconds. Bryce is the better pick there. Unfortunately, these WRs aren't getting open on a consistent basis and Reich isn't calling plays that'll help them.

CJ is on pace to throw for over 5,000 yds. Bryce is on pace to throw for alittle over 2,000yds. That is pathetic for the 1st overall draft pick. Bryce better get it together or his well go down as a historic bust

Reich's teams historically start slow.  Although, the offenses have never looked like what we've sent out, not even remotely.   

My gut tells me they oversold how much of the playbook they've truly deployed with Bryce combined with the fact our receivers aren't doing diddly minus some nice moments from Mingo and Thielen.  Reich's playbooks have been far more nuanced and flavorful than what we've seen utilizing mesh and hi-lo concepts.  Rivers knew and worked his system better than anyone in SD and IND.  So that's just my gut instinct about Bryce.

Combine that with the running game having no explosion, you get a rudderless offense.  However, I don't think the OL is necessarily in shambles--we're not going to "ruin" Bryce.  He needs the reps.  

So first things first--I just want to open things up more and see some sort of pulse on offense.  We need a reliable speedy receiver.  Even if it's Dalton out there at QB.

We just don't have that.  TMJ is a 4.3 guy who jogs, then Mingo & Thielen aren't providing that and we cannot rely on Chark, Shenault is not a route runner.  It's such an obvious need.  All of Reich's offenses have that speedster.

Agree on the speedy WR element. It keeps defenses honest. Bates doesn't cheat down in the Falcons game if you have that guy. 

With all the big/tall first round receivers Hurney kept drafting for Cam's inaccuracy, things really turned around when Ginn entered the picture - well Ginn and a semi-competent offensive line.

Gotta laugh whenever people bring up “pace” stats when we’re not even 1/8th through the season.

Sitting Bryce isn’t all of a sudden going to make him accurate throwing the ball down the field. He has yet to complete a deep pass. The Falcons realized that which is what allowed Bates to sit on the second interception and why the Saints stacked the box and tried to take away everything underneath.

It’s not like both games were blow outs allowing our opponents to pin their ears back and come after the QB. Bryce just didn’t threaten the opposing defenses what so ever.

And don’t give me the no weapons BS. There are teams with less to work with on offense and none have looked this inept passsing the football.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
