Something Noticed on Game Sealing INT


Recommended Posts

So I was on twitter and I saw this post.
 


First thing to notice, Cam Jackson, our 5th round rookie we hadnt heard much from did a great job creating pressure up the gut to cause the bad throw from Baker.  Another great thing to see when weve seen SO fuging MUCH good from this draft class.

....Theres one other thing to notice on the play that I didnt see and seems no one has noticed.  Im happy the play went the way it did...but um....Theres a giant 100million dollar, best player on our defense that for some reason isnt on the field...Like evero legit decided to NOT have DB on the field on this play!?!?  That just doesnt make any sense really unless hes injured.

I reacted to a comment on another thread that basically said that Scourton (and TMac) were the only contributors...On this play, 2, day-3 drafted rookies not named Scourton or TMac.   Etienne had a good return.  Horn had a key play on a reverse for 25 yards.  TE Evans caught 3 passes.  UDFA Fitzgerald was 3/3 and kicked the game-winner.  Princely may be the only drafted rookie that did not contribute in a positive way.

dude, and in fairness he had a tweet after the game that had me cracking the fug up in response to someone calling him out for the roughing (That didnt get called) penalty.

Me, watching the play, I didn't hear the whistle calling Latham down and was like "Oh poo! He just set the ball down!" I was really afraid we were going to have one of those "never live it down" moments where  a Buc comes by, snags the live ball and takes it in for a TD as if it was a fumble.

Didn't even notice DB's absence on that play, but if he's regularly being pulled on third down, there may be some rest periods needed for the big guy. Looks like they still handled business, though, so maybe Evero has a better ear to the team than we do.

Jackson has been up and down this season in limited snaps but we need guys like him to perform well. Getting solid contributions from later round picks is how you really ramp up your roster building.

I have been a little miffed with him so far, he was one of my favorite draft picks.

    • We agree here dawg. I'd love for Bryce to succeed as would all huddlers. I have not seen a single huddler hate Bryce for anything other than his play on the field / potential / skillset. He hasn't gotten any of the irrational hate having nothing to do with football that Cam got. And yeah I understood going into this season with Bryce again as there weren't a ton of options, but man we missed the fuging mark on upgrading at backup QB with someone who could actually push Bryce. Bryce had zero pressure on him with a 100% washed up Dalton being the only other NFL caliber QB in the system. That absolutely needs to change this offseason. Ideally with an actual starter upgrade but that seems extremely unlikely due to not having many FA options and a bad draft. But at the very least with someone like you mentioned, young/upside and/or day 3 pick in the draft.   Another note, we have a top paid and top performing OL, great young talent at WR incl. likely OROY, great RB group, average all around TE group, offensive coach with creativity in the system and good play designs (poor situational playcalling but still I put out current offensive coaching staff over Shula who held Cam back for instance). Not the absolute best situation for a QB to be in, but still a very good situation around him. And yet we have a bottom 8 offense (6th lowest points scored). Imagine taking a victory lap for a QB leading his team to the 6th lowest points scored in the league and the 22nd highest passer rating (despite being asked to do less than many other QBs; i.e. Bo Nix who isn't great either and has a slightly lower passer rating but Sean Payton actually lets him try to throw the ball deep and has him throw significantly more than Bryce). Crazy
    • similar to Atlanta and the NHL.  Atlanta has lost two NHL teams (and lost a minor leaguer).  Now there's another coalition pulling together another proposal for Atlanta to get an NHL expansion. While I'd like hockey to be back in Atlanta 'cause hockey is fun, I am skeptical that it'll happen based on previous teams' experience here alternatively: similar to Atlanta hosting a Major Tennis Tournament in advance of the US Open every mid/late summer.  Aside from the fact that Atlanta is said to be the country's largest Tennis playing city (with both USTA and ALTA, along with a number of side leagues) - playing tennis outdoors in Atlanta summer is miserable *and* they had difficulty attracting players... ticket sales were not good. So the Atlanta Open closed after 14 years.  They just couldn't make it happen, even if for all intents it appears to be massive tennis interest in the surrounding area.
    • So I saw where Luke was doing that show parallel to the game. Whatever it was, statcast something something, knew it would be a good watch. I don’t get ESPN any more but that would be one of the about few things I would watch outside of games.     He doesn’t fool around on the radio broadcast.
