On offense.

 

1. No more stalled drives. Too many times this team will move the ball to around midfield and then all of a sudden not be able to convert a third down and cost us a chance to at least attempt a field goal.

 

2. Control the clock. Our defense was exhausted last week and it showed on that final drive where the Seahawks played keep away. Part of the problem was Russell's scrambling ability, part of it was their repeating of downs because of a hold call, getting them extra opportunities that ultimately didn't help their cause in scoring points but did require more snaps from our Defense.

 

3. Be willing to take some chances on 4th and short. Obviously this needs to be within reason but if we are just outside of field goal range I'd rather take a chance on converting the first and keeping the drive alive vs punting and gaining 10-20 yards in field position. I wouldn't recommend this every week but their offense does not scare me into thinking those 10 -20 yards will make a huge difference.

 

 

On defense.

 

1. Don't let their run game get going. Stack the box and see what the rookie can do when forced to win the game with his arm.

 

2. Contain Stevie Johnson and don't leave Captian or Josh Thomas on an island against him.

 

3. Wrap up and don't let them dink and dunk us all the way down the field. I have a feeling they are going to want to get their running backs out in open space and see if they can break it on us. The linebackers and safeties need to keep an eye on this and make the tackles on first contact.

throw some weird looks at ej manuel - he'll make mistakes. blitz him but beware of his dumpoffs and blitzes designed to take advantage (since that seems to be his game.)

 

offense needs to score early and often. force manuel to air it out. he'll make mistakes.

 

special teams... don't be fuging stupid.

 

 

do all these and we walk out with a tasty win

oh...if armond smith gets pushed out of bounds again, bench him cause it's only going to happen again.

 

I still don't understand this. We are so inconsistent with handling underperforming players.

 

We just cut Joe Adams after only one season, and didn't even flinch.

i wasn't talking about benching him for the whole season, but for the game on special teams...or at least geting him out of that role where he can get pushed. if that happens three times in two games, we have a problem with either him or him being targetted and not being able to handle it.

 

regardless, it would be a mistake to keep putting him back into a position where things just have a way of going wrong.

When his only job is special teams, skip the benching, say goodbye, and just find someone else to do the job.

 

The whole reason he was supposedly kept over Poole was because he could contribute on special teams, or so we thought. Unless our idea of contribution is getting ejected, and costing us crucial yards late in the game lol.

 

We've had a horrific special teams long enough.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.

      Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
