Yes, I'm crying over spilled milk: We missed Rambo

Bacarri Rambo had ten tackles (6/4) and one sack in his first game.  G-man and Rivera missed on that one (and probably undrafted WR, Marlon Brown as well).  For someone who is supposed to be a specialist at ferreting out talent, Gettleman totally whiffed on Rambo.  And, no, I don't care that 30 other teams passed on Rambo.  We needed a safety, and I believe he is one that we should have drafted.

kind of annoying how some people seem to think that not hitting homeruns in every single round of the draft or in UDFAS is indicative of lack of an eye for talent.

 

"gettleman is supposed to be a good talent evaluator but there's a good player on another team that he didn't get."

 

c'mon dude

Rambo sucked ass in his first game.

 

That's a little strong, but Rambo had some good points during his first game also. Of course one doesn't expect a great game out of a rookie safety or defensive back during his first ever defensive game. Of course you're going to have the bad angles and not necessarily realizing that Vick and McCoy are fast and shifty as hell (and make the best of them miss), but Rambo did have 10 tackles and a sack, nevertheless. 

 

He left his own thread.

Funny.

 

No. Just more interested in others. There is really no reason to cry over Rambo at this point. 

 

Where have you gone top dawg? Come back and talk to us.

 

I love talking to you guys, Red.

 

Nit picking a little I see buddy. Some of you fans are absolutely ridiculous with the crap you right & how quick you throw in the tow. Why even be a fan if all your gonna do is Bitch about every single thing. Come on!!

 

??

 

Not sure this is the right thread. This isn't about throwing in the towel or bitching, it's about missing on Rambo. Simple as that.

Like I said above, it was only Rambo's first game, so if you think about it, he did some good things. There are going to be growing pains for any rookie in the defensive backfield, particularly against athletes with the shiftiness of Vick and Shady.  I know Skins fans of course (sometimes it seems that it's more of them than us), and just like me, they aren't ones to go off the deep end over one game, and try to look at the overall picture a little bit more analytically, as opposed to screaming "bloody murder" because someone has what many consider a "bad game".  They will tell you the same thing.  They believe that Rambo has been very coach-able, has made marked improvements throughout the spring until now, and will be more than solid as he gains experience (notwithstanding taking his lumps along the way).  Let me also note that some Skins fans think that Rambo, and the defense in general would have played better if Reed Doughty had been in as opposed to E.J. Biggers.  

 

Yes, I could be wrong, but I believe that one day we'll be saying we missed the boat on Rambo, and that day may come sooner rather than later. But, it's not like I will be obsessing over it, or even think about it as time goes on because I'm more of a John Fox it-is-what-it-is type of guy. At the end of the day, I'm just giving a shout out to my fellow Bulldog, and if you really want to know the truth it's Marlon Brown that may end up as the real miss here.

      The bottom line is we saw long stretches this season where T-Mac wasn't even targeted.  He had games where he went an entire half without seeing a pass thrown his way, and it lead to a bunch of games with 5 or less targets.  If he's healthy and we're not up a stupid amount and only running the ball, I can't see him having more than a game or two next year with 5 or less targets. We were also only 22nd this year in pass attempts, and that was with a rookie #1 and no legitimate 2nd option for half the season.  And even then, we were only 46 pass attempts above 31st place. If we go into next season with T-Mac improved in his 2nd season and a healthy Coker for 17 games, there is absolutely no reason for us to not throw it more.  That right away increases both of their target totals without sacrificing any targets from each other or other players, add in them taking targets from the TEs and RBs on top of that, and your argument just doesn't hold water anymore. You can't look at targets/yards in a vacuum and think next year Coker just takes some from T-Mac.  You have to look at the team as a whole and our situations this year and then project what will happen next year. If he's healthy for 17 games, I'd bet my life savings that T-Mac sees increases across the board, targets/catches/yards/TDs.   Just as Coker will also see career highs in all categories, it's not one vs the other, it's shifting offensive strategy given our personnel, which next year will be much better for our passing game (QB issues aside).

      C'mon now.... First, you can't switch up your argument once someone points out a major flaw in your point. You're saying we shouldn't expect a big increase in targets/yards for T-Mac, but then shift to talking about averages with Chase when I point out the significant leap he took there once you factor in his missing games.  He saw an increase in targets in 5 less games, averages aside, he saw a significant increase in targets in his 2nd season, what he then did with those targets is actually irrelevant in this discussion. Puka seeing no increase is pointless, as he saw such an absurd amount of targets for a rookie, it's near impossible to see an increase. But the real issue in this post is that you think I'm proving your point by showing how Waddle had to share targets with Hill. Tyreek Hill was a 1st team All Pro who was 2nd in the NFL in yards that season. If you think Jaylen Waddle sharing targets with a 1st team All Pro and a future HOFer is even remotely in the same category as T-Mac needing to share targets with Coker... then you are certifiably insane, lol. If anything, you could make the argument that Coker is to Waddle as T-Mac is to Hill in that discussion (which would then lead to a serious increase in targets/yards for T-Mac).  But even that is insane, as neither T-Mac or Coker will be as good as Hill and Waddle respectively that season.  I love both of their potential, but c'mon now, T-Mac isn't getting 119 catches for 1,700 yards and Coker isn't getting 117 for 1,350 next season.
