I'll start with Defense

The Good

Defensive plays from scrimmage:212 (lowest in NFL)

1st downs allowed:we are 2nd lowest in NFL

Opponents first downs per game:14.8(2nd best in NFL)

Opponents third conversions per game:4(tied for 3rd in NFL)

Opponents third down conversion perecentage:33.3( tied for 6th in NFL)

Opponents Red Zone Scores per game: 1( tied for 2nd best in NFL0

Opponents passing completions per game 14.8(1st in NFL0

Opponents passing td percentage:

The Bad

Rushes over 20 yards:7 (2nd worst in NFL)

Rushes over 40 yarsD:3 (Worst in NFL)

Points per play:0.481 (Worst in NFL)

Opponents yards per pass completions:14(Worst in NFL)

What to make of it?

I'll say it again, we are playing good if not great on a majority of the snaps, getting off the field, etc. Where we are screwing up is allowing big runs and missed tackles

Noteworthy:Teams are not rushing to the left(Charles Johnsons side) and when they do they are mostly unsuccessful. However most of the success and all of the runs for over 40 yards are to the Right( Hardy's side). The middle rushes are met with average success against us, although MJD gashed us a few good times up the middle in the Monsoon. So can we please stop crying about the DT'S now?

Special Teams:

All bad here no good

Net yards per punt attempt:26.6 (worst in NFL)

2 Punt returns for TD'S against us

1 missed field goal and 1 blocked field goal

No blocking worth a crap on Punt Returns

What to make of it?

Blocked field goal attempt, I credit Peppers more than I blame anyone else

The Peterson Punt return was more inexecsubale in my eyes as we didnt even make an effort to bring him down.

Offense:

Well we all know the good so I'll omit that.Plus this thread is about what's wrong anyway.

The Bad

Naane

5 penalties that took away TD's (unofficial, couldnt find a stat on this so I'm trusting what many of you have said here0

Bottom line:

Charles Jonshon is worth every penny. Naane stole every penny we gave him. Everything is else is correctable.

And one more thing. Please get Curry we need some run support on that side, cuz Jason Williams is not cutting it.

Great post. One exception I would make is the Hardy comment. Watching in person and through the rain at the Jax game, Hardy made most of the stops on the inside running plays. He was the MVP of that game, yet MJD had a ton of yards. Perhaps Hardy is being force to cut off the inside rushes is the cause of the big runs around the corner? Also having to play second string LBs isn't helping.

I did not call Hardy out Specifically. Not everyone on this board knows that when I say to the right whos side it is. Hell, if we go back and look at tape those big runs may have occured when he came out. My main beef is with people taking the lazy approach and blaming our DT'S for everything.

I'm not saying they are doing great, cuz they are not but our coaches have schemed around it very well. Others need to step up, shed blocks and make tackles to help the rooks out IMO.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
