He’s also not gonna survive taking hits like he did tonight.  He finishes runs like a back.  He’s not Cams size

I don't see it being sustainable regardless of size. The hits are accumulative.

41 pass attempts and 16 rushes? If they want to compete for the championship they need to get Henry going. You signed a workhorse back let him work.

that Xavier Worthy had a real nice debut game.  Much like preseason, Andy Reid's gameplan is to design touches for the young player to get him involved in his O early. 

 

I mean real real nice debut, I’m hoping for half of that production from XL even a little less but definitely something.

I guess my real point is, it's not so much Worthy.....it's a staff that wants to ensure he is involved.  Which you saw in the preseason.   His first touch of the game is the best example.  

Think that will be a big part of why XL gets criticism.  Saw it the preseason.  Reid would have got the ball  XLs hands.  100%.

I think he let the criticism of the AFC CG go to his head. He probably should've finished runs more aggressively in that game but the playoffs are a different beast. You have to manage the risk in the regular season. 3rd down in the 4th quarter of a close game? Okay, maybe now is the time to roll the dice. 1st and 10 in the 1st quarter? Calm down. Get down or get OB.

I was just listening to Cam on Shannon Sharp and Ochocinco’s podcast discussing how he let all the noise of him “not jumping on the fumble” fuel him in 2016 into that play where he chased down the DB in San Diego after the goal line interception and injured his shoulder (to dispute the lack of effort claims) - and the rest is history.

You are probably spot on here, athletes get obsessed and fueled by talk and fighting down narratives much to their detriment at times.

Jackson needs to let it go and just play his game.

    • Horn was open on the first play but Bryce was trying to get the ball to Coker. First play the Rams were in cover 1 with a robber that did a great job of taking Coker and TMac away. Pressure got to the QB late as Moton was pushed on top of Bryce and he ended up throwing it away. Horn was open early underneath. Exactly what you're looking for here and he should have thrown to Horn. Maybe could have had Coker or TMac run the dig there instead, because the robber played both their routes perfectly taking them out of the equation. Throw away.  Second play the Rams are in cover 3. Yosh gives up immediate pressure. Coker and TMac were open but Bryce was already escaping the pocket and immediately turned into a scramble drill. No WR got open after that. So had to throw the ball away. Third play the Rams were back into Cover 1 with the robber. Ball is thrown to Horn but he was held by his defender and couldn't get to the ball. Perfect pass. Perfect. DPI or defensive holding should have been called.  Fourth play the Rams are back in Cover 1 no robber this time. TMac and Coker are running deep routes again. Jimmy pops open on the dig again with his man trailing. It's the right read. Good pass. Not perfect, but plenty good enough. Horn  loses focus and drops it.  No one was really schemed open in any of those plays. The second play was the only one that TMac and Coker were open, but the immediate pressure took the QB off his spot where he had to escape the pocket. I really don't know when he could have forced it to Coker or TMac. Maybe the last play. Deep safety was shading TMac. Coker had 1 on 1 running a fly, but the CB stayed on top the entire time. Maybe a deep back shoulder attempt. But Jimmy was open for the first. 
    • I generally start w/ his sub par offensive production, inability to threaten the entire field like you would hope a franchise QB has the ability of in his backpocket.....and then get into his unicorn size.  how consistently below average and weak our offense has been under his direction (every season) IS the starting point of the Bryce "haters" convo.  I mean, take a Caleb Williams and a Bryce Young.  Forget draft status (despite it being identical)......they are world's apart if you just look at them as NFL only prospects.   They are basically Arnold and Danny from the movie twins.   Bryce basically is a likeable human and Caleb has all the other traits.
