Something upsetting about next season...no running game

If he ever gets on the field again he should certainly have fresh legs after his two year sabbatical. At least until someone hits his made of glass lower body.  Then its time to bring in the undrafted FA since thats who will probably be backing him up next season.

The running game SHOULD get an infusion of life from the return of Kugbila and Silatolu, as well as the addition of a young OT (we have to bring Gross back, as well)...

 

Additionally, adding a couple of young, starting caliber WR's to come in and contribute in the passing game will help more than anything...

 

The contracts of Williams and Stewart are what they are, and there's no changing that...  So figuring out how to turn a negative into a positive is the best we can shoot for...  A couple WRs, and an OT will go a long way towards accomplishing that...

Kugbila could be horrible . An unknown.

Amini to date isn't even as good as an old Wharton

The passing game was going decently yesterday, but we had to put Cam at risk running the ball because none of our RB's could do it.

And he could be great...  I'll go glass half full until he proves me otherwise...

 

Silatolu has one year under his belt...  Gotta give the kid more time than that...

 

 

I'd also say we should make every effort to resign Wharton for a couple more years, to aid in the development of each, and to protect against injuries...

It looked to me that our RBs were failing in large part because their defensive linemen were camping out in our offensive backfield most of the afternoon...  Perhaps even aided by some very questionable no calls on what could have been a handful of offsides penalties against them...

A good passing game will improve the running game. If we get a franchise WR that command double team they won't be able to stack 9 in the box to stop Cam and the RBs. Plain and simple.

We aren't built to have a Brees like offense where the run game is developed off a heavily slanted pass O.

Teams aren't loading up like they do AP to stop our rush attack

Kug is still a DII player who hasn't played a down. He is still a developmental guy.....not an answer yet

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
