Young Team


stirs

Recommended Posts

We looked like a young team out there today.

Many mistakes, some very costly. First and second half.

Dropped balls

Fumbles

Penalties

Conservative play calling was due in part to the patchwork OLine.

Game plan was good until we got away from the run in the second qtr.

Defense was out their a bit too long and it showed at the end, but, to their credit, holding the Super Bowl favs to 12 pts was a fantastic effort.

The "quick pass" stuff kinda burned them in the 4th. No adjustment made from DC.

Overall, I am actually more optimistic about the team now than I was before the game. Hate the Williams injury but the OLine played above what I thought they would. They opened holes for DWill in the 1st and 4th qtrs and gave Cam ample time to pass.

I would like to see us try a pass or two beyond 10 yds to open up the run game even more.

Grades

D B+

O C+(execution was not quite there)

ST D (fumble and OB penalties)

And still, we were in the running with the Super Bowl favs.

    • It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth 
    • The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on. 
    • Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
