Coker again; review of the Offense

Recommended Posts

Coker seemed to take reps from Mingo....Sunday, Coker was targeted 3 times with 3 catches, 30 yards.  That makes 7 targets, 7 catches, 98 yards since being called up from the PS.  For those not good in math, that means he has caught every pass thrown to him. 

I am looking toward next season, frankly, and WR will probably be our second biggest need.  We will have Legette and Coker--and maybe Thielen.  I think we trade or cut everyone else before then.

The OL reverted back to old stupid presnap penalties--at home---but when they played, they were good most of the time.   Christensen and Zavala seem to be good depth; I thought we'd see more from Njigba (77).

Chuba is heading toward elite RB--pro bowl status.  Sanders?  We could do better on the PS.  I have to think they will shop him and if they get no takers, he will be cut when Brooks is ready.

Dalton is showing signs--not of his age, but of his meltdown periods that he made famous in Cincinnati.  I think he tried to do too much.  The Interception to Thomas was on thomas....As a high school tight end, you learn to break your route at 10 yards and work back to 7 on a drag route.   He is terrible.  That DB does not undercut him if he does that.  Just stupid football.  Sanders (TE) played better.   I would guess that Tremble's return could cause Thomas to be let go and Jordan Matthews to be brought up.

I have to say, I like the fighting spirit.

The team has been absolutely decimated by injuries, and yet we saw a game that was within reach until we decided to hang our hopes and fortunes on Ian Thomas. You've got a lot of PS pickups, waiver wire snags, and depth players stepping up and doing their best to contribute. Will it be a winning effort most times? No, probably not. They're bench-warmers for a reason. But they're certainly trying to make a game of it.

I like to see Andy smiling and having fun, but then get big mad on the sideline. He's clearly not in this for a paycheck.

 

You can hardly get mad that a team that squandered its future on Bryce Young, lost it's best player on defense week 1, and is starting depth players at almost every position has only 1 win at this point in the season.

But I think I can see the hazy outline of a winning culture forming.

And it simply has to be said, I think we have an RB of the future to build around in Chuba Hubbard. He's rapidly going from a lunch pail contributor, to a legitimate star. That's not something I was expecting.

They will probably keep Mingo just because of the rookie contract. I think Thielen will be out and Johnson will sign somewhere else. 

  • Legette
  • Coker
  • Mingo
  • Draft Pick?
  • Free Agent?
  • 2nd Free Agent?

Not in any particular order.

Also its sad we are discussing this only 6 games into the season.

I have never felt more prematurely validated than I do in this moment for my love all things Jalen Coker.

He very well could just be a JAG but I'll be damned if the dude isn't running some crisp ass routes and catching everything thrown at him.

He has shown more in his 7 catches than I have seen in all of Mingo's 55

Coker is a keeper. So is XL. dynamic duo of the future. keep diontae if we can for one more year. don't care about thielen or any of the other guys on the roster.

David Moore would be someone that i'd be interested in keeping around because he's a pretty reliable target as well. 4 catches on 5 targets. i've got no complaints there. not big yardage, but still a guy who will catch what you throw to him.

at RB i think we will be set with Chuba and Brooks. 

TE....i'd like to see more from Sanders and MUCH less from Ian. Get rid of him pronto.

OL was just sloppy with the penalties. that can be cleaned up. I think we are one center short of having a great OL. 

QB...keep dalton. trade bryce. pick up another vet QB that Canales can work with. don't draft a QB until '26 at the earliest.

The two offensive positions i would consider a priority next year is OC and TE. the rest can all go defense.

    • MORGAN ON PLAY CALLER FOR CANALES   "I think that's really his [Canales'] call," he stated. "I think if he wants to promote somebody into being the play-caller or bring somebody from the outside. We haven't really talked about that. But that is something that I'm sure we'll talk about. We talk about every decision together. If he feels like he needs to add somebody or promote somebody into being the play-caller, then I trust him."  
    • Dude, he cannot see the field, when his feet are not set he throws ducks.   What the fug are you watching?
    • I'm looking at the final drive, and that's where I'm laying the blame at Bryce's feet. Stepping up to the line, 38 seconds left, 3 time outs on the clock. 30 yards needed to attempt a FG. It's not Bryce's job to call the plays, that's DC's and it was terrible play calling.  It's Bryce's job to read what the defense is giving him at the line. The middle of the field is open. Rams are guarding against the deep ball and bringing pressure leaving the middle of the field ripe for the taking. Knowing his line not holding up for long, Bryce should have read the defense, called the audible, and thrown to the middle of the field for 6- 8 yards, like you said, quick slants would have worked. Then run either hurry up or call a TO. We had time. He has to make the adjustments. Any QB has to make the adjustments.  The pass Horn dropped hit his hands but was at his knees. Should he have slid and caught it? Probably. Was the pass a good one? No it wasn't. Both players were at fault, not just Horn. Let's not pretend that Bryce threw a beautiful pass that hit the receiver chest high right in the hands in perfect stride because that damn sure wasn't the throw.  The defense didn't choke away a lead. They never had a real lead. Choking away a lead is being up by multiple scores late in the 4th and losing. We were up by 4 and handed the ball back to a potential MVP with an All pro WR and potential future HoF WR2. One score games in the 4th are a slug fest. 28-3. That's choking away a lead.  I don't solely blame Bryce for the game, but you seem to solely blame the defense for the game because they went to prevent after losing Horn. You are forgetting the short field that the offense left them that led to the early Puka TD on one of our 2 failed 4th down conversions. Our defense has been given very limited resources over the past 3 years while we have tried to put everything possible around Bryce. We added a little bit to the D this year after giving up a NFL record in points last year. Our defense overachieved based on what they've been given to work with.
