Armanti Edwards

I am surprised we haven't seen any wild cat or really any trickery this season. That was supposed to be a big part of our offense I thought. Armanti looks lost and uncomfortable a lot of the times on the field. He makes bad decisions a lot. I think he can make some athletic catches if he is wide open though. Not if he is covered.

Rivera wants to win this Chicago game....wouldn't be surprised if Chud dials up something. Not saying it will be Armanti in a trick play.....but I expect at least one "unqiue play". The wildcat doesn't meet my definition of that either.

    • Damn, am I really going to watch Steeler-Bengals on Amazon in a few minutes? Unfortunately, yes, at least for a little bit.
    • That falls entirely into the chicken-and-egg of why is he not attempting those throws more frequently: is it because he can't make those throws, or because he isn't asked to make those throws? If the latter, is he  not being asked to make those throws because the coaching staff doesn't believe he can be successful with them, or because they don't believe those types of throws fit their scheme anyways? We can eliminate option A because he clearly can physically push the ball 40+ yards, successfully or not, or there would be zero attempts of that nature. We have no way of determining which of the two factors are the reason for option B because we don't know what the coaching staff's ultimate assessment of both his abilities and of their own conviction about the value of those throws irregardless of player would be. Again, you will be hard-pressed to find many coaches that will value a play that has an 83% or higher failure rate just to "keep the defense honest" when they have more valuable and consistent options at their disposal. But the core of my argument is that it's not like it's an impossibility for Bryce to push the ball downfield, it's simply that it's not the amazing cure-all that some seem to imagine it to be even for elite QBs.
    • His ceiling is Alex Smith tier. Not the worst thing to have, but if you have the opportunity to shoot for a Patrick Mahomes you take it.
