Horn and Henderson Doubtful Sunday

I want to shut Horn down for the rest of the season. Not because of his injury or anything but I want to see Evero continue to have this depleted defense looking good and treat it like a mini job interview if we decided to move on from Frank at the end of the season.

Okay but they better make them both sit on the sidelines and watch the game intently from beginning to end.

If we've gotta watch this crap, they ought to have to as well!

I'm going to let you in on a secret. You don't have to watch. I'm going to cut down a Christmas tree with my wife and daughter

Yeah it hasn't been hard to find better uses of that time. I don't feel bad at all doing other things whether with my family or just relaxing.

I mean, Horn is better than Surtain when he plays. No one could foresee that Horn would only play one season worth of games in three years. Horn's injury history began when he got drafted. I can't put that  on Fitterer.

Jaycee Horn has played so little in his career….we really never seen have face a tough assignment.  Given that, it’s hard to make the better when healthy argument.

Come on, man. He shut down Deebo Samuel, D.K. Metcalf and others. Samuel and Metcalf are certainly tough assignments. I'll concede that his prowess hasn't been displayed enough, but it's only because he hasn't been on the field.

That’s also Geno and Jimmy G

Surtain - Mahomes 2x every year, Herbert 2x every year, Allen, Burrow, Lawerence, Dak, Hurts, Tua, etc,  and those elite QBs are throwing to elite weapons.  That’s what has made his job significantly tougher.   

Horn suited up against a grand total of 1 elite QB for a full game and it was over in the first quarter with them not even having to try to throw because Joe Mixon had the best game of his career and a field day.   Horn flat out hasn’t had to defend elite QB play like Surtain.  Maybe he is better.  Who knows.  He is good when he has played.   Surtain’s competition has just been different and much tougher. 

I mean, Jaycee Horn could shutdown a prime Megatron to 0 yards if I was QB.  QB play is relevant to the convo and Horn hasn’t seen it.

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
