Okay so, back in training camp it was such a major news story that when they were going to have a sit down with the offensive line guys, Bryce stepped forward and said he'd like to lead the discussion and tell them how they needed to work in this scheme. It was an amazing show of his grasp of the system and the people involved in it, a real leadership moment foretelling how great he was.

They said.

Maybe the scheme is so basic that a rookie without even a pre-game snap was able to explain it. Imagine what a defensive coordinator with years and years of practice and observation could get from looking at it. And then turn a bunch of sack monsters loose with the knowledge that the scheme is that easy to pick apart.

The word we are looking for here is: roadkill. Wide-eyed roadkill.

We were confident that a rookie QB could explain the line's assignments and the theories that went into making up the scheme.  A rookie.

And we're wondering why it won't work.

Yes. A top 6 pick in his second year, a 3rd year guy, a 6th year guy, another 6th year guy, and a 7th year guy couldn't understand it but a guy who hasn't took a snap in the NFL could explain it perfectly. Because it's that simple. 

We run a high school offense. I'm not just being an average negative poster. I watch film and have a decent football IQ. We have a VERY simple offense. We have literally only come out in 3 different personnel sets (92% in the same grouping) and (if i remember correctly) 5 or 6 formations.

when a NFL defense knows what you are doing.....you aren't going to be successful.   That's our story IMO. 

you need dominant talent for the you know what I am doing but try and stop me approach. 

Which it is EXTREMELY difficult to just line up and be better than the other team in the NFL.

That is the core of college football but it doesn't work at the NFL level.

Yep. The Panthers' Oline was built for road grading 1 on 1, not a zone scheme or whatever they're trying to do now.

Don't fix it if it isn't broken. They are trying to be fancy instead of helmet on helmet. The end result is Oline dancing in circles and blocking no one.

In the last game Seattle's D-line rushed the inside/middle of our O-line at least 3/4's of the time. Definitely the entire 4th quarter. And, of course, it worked because of two new, young starters. It gave Andy no pocket, no time and yet he managed to make a record 58 passing attempts. I hope Bryce was taking notes because I expect every defense we face to do the same thing.

You can blame scheme, coaching but a lot rides on you having healthy starters and we haven’t had that so far. Missing Corbett and Brady means the others have to get used to playing with guys they don’t normally play with. That and the obvious drop off in talent is huge.

Team health is no excuse here and it hasn't been for years.

      Bryce Young Is a Symptom, Not the Disease

      By strato · Posted

      He has made some good throws yes. His arm isn’t great by any professional measure though It might be decent enough, but the poor footwork inhibits it.  So he has to really focus on that and from what I’ve seen he is not consistent.    peace.

      Bryce laughing (from game day thread)

      By Icege · Posted

      If only Bryce were 8'1" then CJ wouldn't have needed Woody Marks to carry him against the Titans nor the defense to carry him with 3 picks vs. Cooper Rush. If he were a real QB, he'd have thrown for over 250yds and the Texans wouldn't be 2-3. /s See? I can do the same dumb, lame poo that y'all do. Doesn't this make the board a better experience overall? 🙂

      Chances against the Cowboys

      Their defense is on track to be worse than ours last year. Their run D is in the bottom half but their pass D is horrible.    32nd overall D, 32nd passD, 23rd rush D We are going to have to throw the ball against them, which means down field where they are vulnerable. Problem is Turnover Fred struggles to push the ball down the field and we have the 26th ranked pass offense. Running will help but will have to beat them through the air. On the flip side, Dallas’ offense is awesome.    1st overall, 3rd pass, 8th run.    But Evero’s defense is ranked 12th right now with the pass D around 10th and rush D around 14th.    If we can take care of the football (looking at Bryce) and we make plays down the field (also looking at Bryce) we can win, yes.
