Really Expect Confident Bryce

I’d like to see some of the poise he’s already shown with a little bit of aggression and gun slinger mentality. If I’m Reich I’d tell him to take shots when you see them not worry about the interceptions. He needs to learn what the NFL windows are with experience.

Part of our problem right now is that we are just not aggressive enough. Whether guys are open or not you have to take a deep shot to Mingo and TMJ and see if they can just win on 1 on 1 matchups.

Yea thats kind of what I mean by leadership…like take control and show it more, take some shots, change some plays etc. hes been extremely passive looking so far. 
 

Honestly hes not going to have a ton of time in the pocket because our oline is a mess and Vikings blitz more than anyone so Reich will really have to have a lot of quick passes in the playbook ( hopefully)

I think there’s a real chance he doesn’t finish the game confidence or not.

Scenario 1: the ankle injury was real and he needed a game off. Given the poor offensive line play I wouldn’t be surprised if he aggravated his injury.

Scenario 2: the ankle injury was fake and an excuse to let him sit and watch Dalton execute the offense for a game. This opens the door for Bryce to get benched again if he plays poorly, potentially under the guise of aggravating the existing or a new injury. 

Minnesota is not a good team so the fan is me is hoping Bryce finally has a game where the offense opens up and he shows us something. But my rational brain says he probably has another rough game and to avoid an 0-4 start they’re gonna put Dalton in if the offense continues to struggle with Bryce under center. 

I just can't buy into Scenario 2 at all...that seems like the quickest way to destroy Bryce's confidence.  "Hey we're gonna pretend you have an ankle injury so we can get your trash ass off the field".  It's very possible that it was such a minor sprain that he could have played last week but they chose to play it safe and sit him, and maybe a part of that is because of a hostile environment, an outmatched o-line, etc. but to outright manufacture an injury for him is an awful thing to do to Bryce's psyche.  I don't think even Rhule is that dumb to think that would be a net positive.

Scenario 3.  The Panthers OL continues to allow comical pressure.  Minnesota blitzes like crazy and plays the short routes.   Frank runs up the gut behind bad G play and everything continues to look as it has under predictable and slow change Frank.  Bryce is put in bad spot after bad spot as the game goes on.  The amount of pressure Seattle applied should of resulted in a turnover or two and we don't get lucky allowing that 2 weeks in a row.   

*the injury wasn't fake.  But I don't think injury was likely significantly enough to keep him from playing or even practicing.   Just mentioning it was sore gave them the excuse to give him a breather on a short week to a really rough environment.  Every starter likely reports some bruise or bump.  And it was the right call....we saw the noise and pressure that occurred.  It would have been poor management of a developing player given how bad Frank's O around the QB presently is.

We've HEARD this same stuff ever since we drafted him. I want to SEE it.

I'd oddly like to see more throws out of bounds if things break down. Don't try to extend these plays like Russell or McNabb or even Cam. You aren't those dudes. Make the read, extend a little and then throw it away or make a safe throw.

When I say this about Frank people take it as I'm hating.

 

Nah I just want to see us actually win a game with him as HC.

 

I want to SEE it.

Frank probably has more to prove than anyone else. Young is a rookie, rookie struggles happen. Our other young guys have some excuses.

Frank isn't a rookie head coach. He's been in the league a long time. He doesn't get a lot of excuses.

If it was up to the huddle, Peyton Manning would've been cut before year 2. 

Peyton rewrote the NFL rookie record book.  There was a lot of really good mixed in with the really bad.   Peyton at least showed the special side.  Was just about getting rid of the bad.

I think we are all selling Bryce too short after a couple subpar performances. I think injury real or not the game off probably did him well.

honestly hearing him talk about it I kind of think it wasn't even real or serious and they wanted him on the sideline for a game.

This is a big game for Bryce and I think he shows up. 

 

I don't have the confidence in him from the last 4 times I seen him play. Why should a benching make him want to play better. Not saying he can't get better but confidence at this time in him doing so has not impressed me all that much.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
