Just about every team in the NFL adjusts depending on what the defense shows pre-snap. Not us. Chud's offense is so potent that he runs his plays no matter what the defense shows.

So if Cam sees an running blitz he can't even change it, Chud obviously thinks his plays will work no matter what.

Decent article, but it's not much we didn't already know is it?

I continue to have the distinct impression that the coaches don't trust Cam... is it just me?

This is the way that I have been leaning all year.

Everyone wants to call out Chud, and while I don't like what I see out of him this year, I think that he is having to deal with a not so good O Line, and a regressing QB.

...but is Cam regressing because of the system and playcalling, or is the system and playcalling regressing because of Cam?

I think that Chud tried to get tricky and changed what we were doing last year and it backfired, and now that the O line is hurt and playing poorly, it's affecting Cam more and more, and now it's a feedback loop of crappiness.

I posted Pete Prisco on how the option was killing Cam's mechanics, so is that Cam's fault or Chuds?

How about that timing route near our own end zone vs the Bears? Who called that? We as fans are not the only ones calling out Chud many analysts and reporters are as well. Only eight carries for Stewart vs the Broncos? Who's fault is that?

I agree 100%. And it's not just Chud. That is the m.o. of this staff.

Perhaps you remember a thread from a few weeks ago about the root cause of Rivera's problems. He consistently coaches in a manner that says he does not trust the players. Some of the examples included not letting Medlock try a 50 yarder to end the half, and the way we kept giving Chicago the ball around the 40 on kickoffs because we had no confidence in our guys' ability to cover. This has been a recurring theme throughout this staff's tenure. They feel they have to protect the players from themselves.

Treat the players like children (no, not literally but in the level of trust) and they will play accordingly.

      Keep away from North Winston,  you should be fine. West Winston towards Clemmins is cool. If you're ever at the Peterscreek Walmart, the Pepsi guy is 😎.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Mage · Posted

      Game-winning drives have been credited to QBs since the beginning of time

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      A lot of people have been slobbing all over this last draft but I hate the way that Fitterer/Morgan have built this offense since drafting Bryce. Anyone with eyes knew our IOL was crap but we didn't invest there and instead took project receivers and an injured RB. If you want a lesson in how build for your QB wrong, IMO, this was it. Draft him, protect him, THEN get him weapons. Its pretty much a rule, draft interior linemen, pay tackles. We're paying everyone. We had the opportunity to draft a center instead of Brooks, or perhaps instead of trading up for XL, trade back and take 2 guards/center. We could have paid Lewis and still drafted 2, but Hunt at 100m was just an overpay. And it's not like the guys many of us were begging us to draft were long shots. They're solid starters from day 1. Injuries happen. That's why all your starters can't be high value players. You need rookie contracts mixed in to be able to absorb those inevitable losses on the line. An offensive line playing an entire season together is an abnormality.  Factor into that also paying Moton 44m this offseason with a huge signing bonus when we didnt need to do right now to do him a "solid".  Now we have to sign Icky and possibly Bryce and it's a mess with more money tied up in the offense, inevitable cuts and dead cap coming. That's not even factoring in shifting Corbett to C last year after major injury to start at a position he's never played for an NFL season. It's all stuff that was foreseeable and pretty easily avoided.  The $$ and picks we've spent trying to surround Bryce outside of Tmac (Mitchell and Horn are TBD) have been used inefficiently IMO. Smarter drafting and FA with the line could have let us get more reliable weapons than XL and Sanders in FA. It might not be popular opinion, but I'll take a Bersin with hands that can get 6-8 85% of the time vs a big play XL with greasy fingers.  The part about hitting guys in stride was more about placement, which Bryce has struggled with. Obviously not every route is run to be hit in stride, but they do need to have the ball placed well to give the receivers a chance to do something after the catch. I just used Hill as an example because he's the biggest YAC threat I could think of over the past 5 years.   Receivers can feast on dink and dunk if it's schemed right. But to make it work, that vertical threat has to be there, if not the deep pass then the high speed routes that can spring someone for the huge YAC to keep the safeties from cheating into that 20 yard box all game.  I hope DC and Bryce can keep up what they did in the last game and it isnt just an Atlanta thing. But no matter what, I really want to see some better long term strategy coming from the FO.
