Open minded play calling will be the key going forward. Too often a gameplan has been called on what we want to do, not what we can do. Arizona blitzed and blitzed and blitzed and yet every play was long streaks and posts and 15 yard crossing routes. Had we used the screen like we did against Minnesota, it would have been far different. The coaching staff should be going into games with a gameplan certainly. But if you see nothing but heavy blitzes over a few series, adjust before the game gets outs of control. I haven't seen so many RB screen passes since Brian Westbrook was on the Eagles in his prime as I saw against Minnesota on Sunday. Eventually Minnesota had to tone down the blitzes, and gave our offense opportunities to open up and take shots. That's what needs to happen going forward.

I agree with the lack of WTF? moments. It did make a difference.

 

But... Shula needs to get some credit for yesterday. He came out of his shell and called a really good game. On the first TD, he had Smitty go in motion to identify the man coverage, and then run a short crossing route all the way across the field with at least 2 rubs against that man defense. The defender didn't have a chance. And it was 4th down. That took some serious cojones.

 

And on the second TD drive, we saw a delayed crossing route by Lafell against the blitz on 3rd and 10, a flea-flicker TE screen, and a shovel pass to Tolbert for the TD.

 

If Shula can keep this up, defenses are never gonna be able to figure him out. He's playing chess now, not checkers.

I think we're almost there. Just one good draft and a couple Free Agent away. We're not just a wishful thinking team. When we win we manhandle our opponent and when we lose the game is close. We need our Julio Jones badly in this offense and we need to consider giving away a couple picks for that. Once we're a playoffs team those draft picks aren't as important because we'll be picking low anyway.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
