They're mostly positive about Cam and say he needs his supporting cast to step up.  Not everything they said was exactly accurate, but it was generally fair.  O'Hara seemed unusually fair about Cam, I seem to recall him being a bit of a doubter (though not to the extreme that I'd call him a hater) and McGinnest said Deangelo and Stewart are two of the best RBs in the league (at least HE doesn't have short term memory.)

Do we have the line and rotational players to have a dominant run game? As long as we're healthy yes, hows our depth? mm not so good, but we'll make do like we always do.

I think we do.  The offensive line is bad if the offense is trying to have an over reliance on the passing game.  But I think they are capable, especially with Kalil, of paving the way in the run game and when you do that, it helps them in pass protection as the defensive line is worn down and they aren't able to just tee off with a pass rush every snap due to the threat of the run game and playaction.

I agree with them about the running backs taking the heat off of Cam.  This is exactly why I believe Shula will feature the RB and power running game more this season than Chud did last season.

Absolutely.  When you look at the payroll vs. production, it has to be one of the biggest wastes of money in the NFL...Getting the power running game started will not happen with Hangartner at RG.  Not a dig on him; most centers are not bull dozers. 

 

Unless they bring in a veteran RG:

 

So much depends on Kugbila, a fourth round G from Valdosta St.  Perhaps the jobs of everyone below the GM.  They scouted him thoroughly.  They must like his chances.

      Renfrow is like a litmus test for Bryce and Dave's misses. And Ejiro's D is no D at all

      By TD alt · Posted

      Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant

      But nobody is saying he is a good deep ball passer.  But the facts are since he's returned from his benching, he has been throwing downfield.  Whether you want to credit the scheme, Bryce himself, or whatever, he has been pushing it deep.  Not to any positive results mind you, but it has been happening.

      If X can't step up, then JT needs to (if Canales allows)

      Who has  done that besides Mathis?
