Wow Rhule is gonna eat them alive

Wow no confidence in Grier.

Wtf was their QB thinking? He had the underneath route.

Depth wise yes. Nobody on Smiths level but top to bottom it has to be most complete one. Not sure that Shi Smith and Marshall have the speed of Cutis Samuel though. Last years unit was great too.

That was nice throw by Will

Damn man Smitty calls it like he sees it.

For real?

I wouldn't look too much into it. This is their first time facing another team that I doubt they game planned for. Rhule has specific things he wants to see and work on. Not an excuse. But talent wise we can compete with these guys if it were a real game.

Sounds like Darnold is heating up a bit

Eh he probably just likes to teach and coach man. Seemed like a really nice guy and I enjoyed his efforts when he was with the staff.

No that game was Manning getting his retirement trophy at the expense of Cam Newton and the Panthers. We didn’t have our best game but it wasn’t even close to a fairly called game. The Cotchery catch alone could have changed the game. Not to mention the fact that Cam was headhunted the entire game without consequence.

They do one step forward and three steps back. The coaching adjustments are nice but the game is still plagued with the same problems for the last decade. Basically every other scrub just does the same no huddle run bullshit over and over to try and score. That or shotgun draw which is basically the most overpowered play in the game. Crucial dropped passed on 3rd and long for no reason. WR's getting rerouted with no flags. It is most definitely a bad game. The Panthers arent a bad team to use but Teddy is awful and has a 5 second wind up. The o-line gets destroyed by any team with a decent defense.

Well it just shows a lack of research on the developers. Our defense is fairly stacked and offensively we are strong at the peripherals.

My immediate reaction would be Butler, Dwane Jarrett, and Jimmy Clausen. Then Kony Ealy and Eric Shelton. I don't like calling guys bust who fell out do to injury. Biakabatuka could play, so could Otah.

poo man we should have been using those when Luke and Morgan were here.

That’s awesome

We know Moton can play RT. We need to see if he can pull a Jordan Gross and go LT.

Moton is the best option at LT. He was great in his 3-4 game stretch. Should have left him there a few seasons ago.

I suspect the secondary will be fantastic this year. I know that’s optimistic but Rhule finds a way to get his players to overachieve. And that CB stable has A+ 1st round pedigree. We know Chinn will bring his A game and command the secondary. All it takes is Horn and Donte to buy in. Troy Pride made something of himself. Rhule likes the types that dig deep. We had no business being in some of the games we were in last year. Personally I’m excited to see how Donte does fully healthy and motivated with coach Rhule. Don’t forget our pass rush should be pretty scary this year. We haven’t had that kind of young and healthy talent since 2013.

It is weird to have a WR wear 88 though. Not just because it was Olsen’s. Something about it isn’t aesthetic. 87 and 89 work, 88 feels like a chode

The current uniforms are still among the best in the league. Maybe a light tweak could work. Id like to see us use a matte silver on the helmets instead the gloss though. It would have a Vikings style effect and that would look pretty sick.

On paper we improved across the board. I know SS is looking thin, but I think that can be masked by the talent at CB and the DL.

That settles it then. Here comes another best.

Patriots trade Cam back to Carolina

He should have been LT ever since he filled in a few years ago.
