So the first half is over. Here's what we know about our offense.

 

- Dalton is damn good at just playing the QB position. Our run game has complimented him. 

- the OL is good, but not flawless. Exotic blitzes hurt us 

- our WR position has talent! DJ is also savvy enough to make guys miss and get out of bounds. 

- Bryce is either sitting until Dalton retires a Panther or he's traded.

Continuation

 

 

- Dalton really is that fuging dude. No, I have no expectations that he's winning us a Superbowl. But I do think we can be a playoff team with him.

- Johnson is clearly our best receiver, but they've all looked strong today. 

- Run blocking is there. We seem to struggle zone blocking but our assignment schemes are all solid. Recognizing our strengths there will be key.

- defensively, our coverage is not bad but there's holes. We need to figure out if it's scheme where we're just playing bend but don't break or if it's just lack of skill consistency.

- special teams is solid. We've kept the field this entire game because the drives that stalled resulted in strong punts and field goals.

- Canales can actually coach. He hasn't backed off the game plan with a lead in the third. We're not seeing the more intermediate game as much, but we're definitely still slinging the rock

Hubbard is also proving to be a really solid RB.  Pairing him with Brooks could be a really nice tandem once our 2nd rounder shows up.  

Legette is looking sharp. 

IOL is looking strong.

Icky has shown he's a road grader again 

Jewell can show up at times

Mike Jackson is a dude at CB

 

 

Hubbard and Brooks are gonna be a problem. Ship Sanders to whatever team for a ham sandwich as soon as Brooks gets off IR

Very balanced offense. DC can call a game. Our pass rush needs a lot of work. 

 

 

While I agree, I appreciate that our pass rush is disciplined. They're not giving any lanes to escape and they're not getting whooped. For sure we need some beaters to emerge, but for what it is, I'll take it over 3 or 4 guys just trying to get off blocks and not caring where they end up

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
