Week 1's "Step Into My Office"


Proudiddy

Recommended Posts

My nominees:

  • Special teams - Specifically the dumbass gunners who ran past Peterson on his punt return, stopped, turned around, looked at him, then appeared to wait for the whistle to be blown as if they thought he had called for a fair catch. There was at least one guy that did this standing about 10 yards behind Peterson when he caught it, and I believe there was actually two guys. Inexcusable.
  • Sean McDermott - All out blitzes on multiple 3rd downs, twice resulting in epically blown coverages for long TDs. Really disappointed in his calls. Some made sense, but these did not. Yes, I love the aggressive style, but that doesn't mean you do it the whole game, especially on 3rd downs with us controlling the game, against a team with Larry Fitzgerald (who usually requires double coverage).
  • Offensive Line - Horrible. Absolutely horrible. Ugly. Pathetic. Disgusting. Any other QB would have been sacked at least 6 to 7 times today. Run game couldn't get going at all because they couldn't hold their blocks. Just horrible. Worst part is, this is probably what we are stuck with.
  • Every WR not named Smitty or LaFell - Big, physical WRs that are not physical and can't get open. Thanks. Experiment over. Please sign Donnie Avery.
  • Merrill Hoge, Nawrocki, Peter King, and any other Cam hater - STFU.

That being said, if we shore these areas up, we have an awesome team. Regardless, I expect 7 wins is a realistic expectation. This Packers game is gonna be tough though...

I would invite whoever gave Beason clearance to play today

I was actually gonna add that as well, but that was a hard call either way. I said in the preseason that I expected him to be out for awhile and that I thought the injury was much more serious than they let on.

Really disappointing.

the blitz that resulted in the TD. 7 guys came on the blitz. 4 were left to cover 5 receivers.

d'oh.

the punt return. Everyone thought he was fair catching. He didn't. d'oh.

Can't win too many games giving away 14 points like they grow on trees.

I, personally, would add Chud to that list as an honorable mention.

His play calling was better than Fox's, but we abandoned the run early. A simple change to unbalanced o-line ups and off tackle runs gave us some daylight, but he didn't keep it up. It could have made a huge difference to our run game had they started using less conventional run plays. There should have been more draws too.

    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development competiveness and both sides of the ball particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
    • 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 could better 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…
