#1 Priority......

OL.

Give Matt 4 or 5 seconds to find a receiver every time he drops back and the passing game looks a lot better. The reports of DJ not being a NFL caliber receiver are greatly overstated and with Smitty and Lafell we can get things done if Matt/Jimmy has time.

Likewise if the OL is making holes for the run game Double Trouble is back to averaging 4+ YPC in no time.

When Moore did have time he still wasn't that stellar, and didn't look around the field. I said OL as well though.

When he had time to throw is when it tossed into quadruple coverage :confused:

has to be the playcalling. it's not news that matt has little experience, but you still asked him to throw it 33 times. Williams and Stewart combined for 21 touches. Really?!!! We are a run team, and your gonna start with pass heavy play calling when we are down by only 8? We are inside the 5, and you don't wanna try pounding in it with Stewart? I was so pissed, and still am.

What is your #1 priority for getting this team playing better?

Play calling? QB? Pass Protection? Secondary?

Right side of the OLine, without question. I've seen the secondary play better, and they had tons of mental mistakes that are easily correctable. We NEED Otah back on that line. As it is right now, the box is being stack to Gross' side and we can't take advantage of that imbalance.

If that were happening with Otah in the game, we would have been gashing their right side with RBs with impunity.

The OL didn't leave points on the field, the redzone ints did. The OL needs to shape it up but they didn't throw the ints.

Just fixing the ints is not enough. That would make us beat the Giants yes but they are a bad team.

If we expect to beat any good teams this season the OL needs to play better in pass protection and be better at opening up running lanes. I want to see lanes so wide and obvious that even my fuging grandma could hobble through them.

    • It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.
    • That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
    • Bryce Young is far less risky with his body when he runs than Richardson and doesn’t take many unnecessary big hits. Was much more worried about injury when he had that abysmal OL his rookie season than I ever would be when he runs/scrambles. 500/10 seems like a fairly reasonable prediction considering he had 250/6 in 12 starts last season. Of course literally anybody CAN get hurt, it’s just that we were assured by many huddlers that it was a sure thing with Bryce Young that he wouldn’t make it to this point in his career without significant injuries.
