Navy_football

This team is built to run the ball. 5 road graders on the oline and a straight ahead running back in Chuba. Can't wait til Brooks is inserted.

Maybe Evero would have. They probably should have tried to transition Luvu though. Rhule's staff definitely wouldn't have.

Right, but would the Panthers have allowed him to become a pass rushing, hand in the dirt LB?

I guess no one saw Navy beat Memphis. No respect.

Starting at 4:05 today.

Fields is balling

I think they gave up 2 sacks against the Chargers with Mack and Bosa! And both of those were 100% on the QB.

You're right. He needs to play, but right now he needs to take a step back and find his game. Bro is shell shocked and just playing horrible football. Or maybe he's pressing. Maybe he's trying too hard to get the ball to certain receivers- Johnson, when other guys are wide open. It was just weird- even for him. Marching him out there every Sunday like this ain't helping at all.

He got worse even though everything got better around him. Not saying the situation is perfect now by any means, but it's better. A lot closer to NFL average. Actually, I would say the pass pro has been above league average.

Yeah, but dude has regressed in 2 games this season. These are throws he's made before - in the NFL. These are reads he's made before - in the NFL. Something ain't right with him. And it isn't physical. It's mental. He has much better protection, much better receivers and a much better scheme. He should be playing better. But then again, do you want a mentally weak guy on your team - at QB? Maybe I've convinced myself...

Personally don't think it's a good idea to trade the #1 pick in the draft after 18 games. That's too early to completely give up on him.

I agree. I think sitting him was the best move for him and the team. Maybe watching for awhile will help him connect the dots and calm the yips. He just isn't seeing the field right now. Crazy.

I think it's very possible Bryce doesn't play again this season. The oline did a pretty good job against Mack and Bosa in pass pro. If they can protect Dalton and not subject him to a lot of pressure and hits, then he may make it through while playing well. Based on the Seattle game last season, he's still got something left in the tank. The running game will likely be the team's calling card anyway with a likely push coming from Brooks in a couple of weeks. He and Chuba could carry the team. We'll see.

Definitely don't want to reach for a QB in this draft - only if there is a consensus #1 pick at QB. But, I do feel like this team is lot more rookie ready than last season because of the oline. Hopefully we'll see where they are regarding WR and RB by the end of the season.

The offense usually goes as the oline goes. This oline is legit as pass and run blockers. They are blowing guys off the ball in the run game, and forming a pretty consistent pocket for the QB. An experienced guy like Andy that doesn't give a "freak" about putting it up there just might eat in this situation. I don't think we know what we have in WRs right now. But if they're at least average, this offense could be a problem. Not "playoffs" problem, but more "in the game with anyone" problem.

A lot on here wanted to give Spencer a shot. He may have made sense in hindsight.

No doubt those boos at home didn't hurt either. I really think some key players spoke up too. It had to be done.

That was it for me too. I was holding out hope, but Legette was streaking down the sideline right in front of his face. Even an interception would have been the same as a punt, but at least give him a chance. I just knew he was gonna take that shot, but...

And it's not too late to actually make a difference. Patrick Mahomes wouldn't have won against the Saints week 1, but Andy may have pulled out a win against the Chargers. Bryce just didn't give them anything.

No arguments here. I think there's enough talent on the offense to score more than 10 points a game though. There were players running open all over the field Sunday. Defense is definitely gonna suffer without Brown. He was the glue last year as well.

That's true, but the oline alone is light years better. I didn't think we could judge Bryce's performance mostly because of them. He doesn't have that excuse this season. If Cam had this oline in 2015, he would still be playing after winning a Super Bowl in a blow out.

This team is a lot better than last year's team. Hopefully a seasoned vet like Dalton can take advantage of it. FTR, I thought he played really well in that game. But he took too much punishment to survive the season. He would have made it 3 or 4 more games before getting knocked out.

I'll bet they got honest feedback from the team behind closed doors.

Dalton will do fine in this offense. The oline is MUCH better than last year. Much, much, much better! No excuses for Bryce these last 2 games. I don't think Dalton would have made it through the season last year. The protection is there now. There were plays to be made Sunday. He just refused to throw the ball. He's broken.

CRA, we've seen him make those basic throws before. He's hesitating on basic throws. Just not seeing the field - at all. In the words of Sam Darnold, he's seeing ghosts out there. He's broken.
