flacco is like a statue in the pocket

i think cam makes the line look better than it is with his mobility

very true but vick and ben were both sacked >30 times and I think Freeman was knocking right on that door too and those three guys are all considered pretty mobile and likely make their o-lines look better than they are... so if Cam is sacked 26-27 times, that wouldn't be quite as huge a pounding compared to the rest of the league as it may sound

Oh... btw... while Cam is making our Offense look amazing... here's a little something about our pass protection and how Otah's absense might be felt:

Cam has been sacked 10 times in 6 games. He's on pace to be sacked 26 or 27 times this year.

That's not good even if he's making plays and keeping drives alive.

2 sacks in the last three games. That means he's on par to only be sacked 6-7 more times this season. Trends don't work off such limited data...

the thomas davis move was a fine one... his contract had protections in case this very thing happened. He will not be back with us next year unless he re-negotiates that contract. He thought we had the depth to cover if his injury happened again.

he didn't expect beason to go down too and didn't really plan for the loss of two starting linebackers. We did carry quite a few LBers, but not all of them are starter-level.

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
