QB controversy over. Let's move on. What must we fix to give Jimmy a chance Sunday!

Jimmy looks like a guy who throws to the open man or spots based on reading the defense. In that regard I don't think we have to worry about who we're passing to except to expect that they catch the ball when the ball is thrown to them. We should trust Clausen enough to show the passing game as a threat because the Bengal defense is going to do what's been killing us. They're going to give Clausen ever opportunity to beat them.

We get some balance on offense we'll see we still have a very good O-line.

See above.

Defense is a problem. The didn't look extremely horrible but when they did make mistakes, they were glaring. The lack of pressure from the front 4 hurts and our secondary is struggling especially with our safety getting over the top in coverage. We have to finish play and tackle better. When we get the chance to tackle we can't wiff.

I don't know if we'll win Sunday but I think we'll look a ton better and at least be in the game.

RUN THE BALL WELL.

In 2008, Michael Turner had 1,699 yards and 17 TDs to take the pressue off rookie Matt Ryan.

In 2008 McGahee and Rice combined for 1125 yds and 7 TDs rushing. Rice had 273 receiving and a TD to take the pressure off Flacco.

DOUBLE TROUBLE, Fiametta, and the O-LINE...I'm looking right at ya.

Agreed, but both the Ravens and Falcons of 2008 had better recievers than we currently do. I think we're going to have to pass to set up the run for a bit. Teams know all they need to do is stack nine in the box to stop our running game.

At least Jimmy has that going for him, and maybe he can take advantage of it.

I thought the biggest mistakes was not tackling Josh Freeman. That was just embarassing.

I want to know about our receivers though. We still are not sure who is going to start, are we? Rosario looked good, but DJ did not get a single pass thrown to him. In addition does anyone know the situation with LaFell?

And if he comes back to we give LaFell another shot? Or Keep DJ and Rosario? Personally I was not too impressed with LaFell. Rosario dropped one yesterday, but overall he seemed to get open quite a bit and get separation at times. I always liked Rosario and thought he had potential but he needed to step up.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
