Hey Offense, You're Up

Rivera spent time building up the Defense and Hurney and Gettleman helped him out with their drafting. Now that the defense can't close out a game everyone wants the offense to save them.

Maybe if you would have gotten Cam some damn help they wouldn't be in that situation. I hate to pull the Hopkins card because Star has played so well but damnit he ain't looking to bad over there himself.

I don't expect poo from this offense to be honest with you. They ignored the offensive line all season. Hyped up Armanti Edwards and brought in Hixon to be the 3rd WR and all both of them do is stand on the sideline. We don't have another legitimate receiving te. Lafell is so bad that a washed up Ginn has outshined him.

So you got a young qb with a staff that doesn't know how to use him or develop him.

A suspect offensive line

A 5'9 34 year old wr is your best option in the passing game and by the way he had a first down drop against the bills in case you missed it.

No Jonathan Stewart or Barner so no Zod they aren't at full strength.

Mike Shula is the Oc and fuging Ken Dorsey is your qb coach.

The first top three picks of the last two years were all defense.

The offense should not be expected to win a shoot out or win games for this team because nothing was done to make that happen.

I just want to know who we are and what to expect. Are we going to pound out victories on the ground or are we going to chuck the ball down field just hoping one or two long TD catches are made?

I can't believe that after three years we still don't have an identity. We don't know who we are.

Sometimes I feel like this coaching staff is like some of us fans, if we lose they are like "Change everything!!!!"

And I understand why. Last year they waited to long to make adjustments and it cost us so now they are in total helter skelter mode.

It sucks.

Its the offense's turn to step up and control a a game.

Why should they be expected to control a game when this team was built for the defense to control it? You seen how easily the offense moved the ball when they increased the tempo.

Why don't they do it all the time? Because Rivera wants a slow defense controlled game. That's on the head coach. If that's what he wants than the defense can't give up the game at the end

we do have an identity. its what we saw this past sunday.

 

this team is that team that will have a lead in the fourth and then make possible a great comeback for the other team giving them and their fans probably the most memorable win in years and the shot of confidence they need to go forward.

 

that's who this team is.  we gift wrap exciting wins for other teams.

I know. :(

I mean on offense specifically. Against Seattle we probably didn't take enough shots down field, media gets on the coaches a little for being to conservative

So then they were like "okay then, let's never get under center and only throw down field"

Just figure out who we want to be and be the best at it we can be

There is a lot of truth here.

 

Gettleman/Rivera chose to load up on the defensive side of the ball in the draft. That is the side with the better coaches. So why should we necessarily expect the offense to bail out the defense?

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
