Damn, Hardy is gonna struggle.

We always fail to capitalize on aspects like this.

 

I would normally agree, but Armstead is a guy who struggled with pass rushers with power and violent hands. Hardy has both. If he jolts him off the snap it could get fun on Sunday....

I know, right? It's frustrating. Hopefully we can exploit it this week.

It could be fun, but we haven't exactly brought it when we've been expected to dominate. Last week was a prime example. Sure, we kept Holmes underwraps but we also let Geno appear like a top-tier QB.

 

And of course our they have a field day against the Niner's offensive line, which is widely considered the best in the league.  

 

Lol.

Even more of a reason for the Defense to dominate. They've played pretty poorly for two weeks in a row after being lights out for so long. Gotta be motivated to get back on track.

That sucks.

We always face a team when they bench someone who sucks. We celebrate it.....but you WANT the train wreck to play not be replaced.

 

i kind of see it as a potential train wreck no matter who they put in there.

 

it's been no secret that brown is bad and gets beat regularly. why wait until now to make the change if you think armstead will be better? were they just holding their cards close to their chest just waiting until the right moment to spring him on everyone? or is this just an act of desperation?

 

i agree, tho...typically i like seeing bad players and coaches remain in their positions on teams we face. as much as i like seeing them flail around trying to replace someone, i'd rather see them continue to fail with who they have.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
