I wouldn't say all (I still think Moore is a #1, but not of the same caliber as 89 or other all time greats), but yeah, does seem that way...

When was the last time we saw one of our receivers "work" a CB?

McAdoo not going hurry up at the goal line fuged us, I think we get a TD there if we keep the game moving

yeah pocket was gone, no way Darnold makes it.

not when Darnold had to bail - the pressure was there. Marshall got open after Darnold had already tried to retreat away, but nobody held blocks or anything.

Absolutely nobody open...

Marshall actually shoulda caught that ball, wow edit: ofc getting hit kinda makes that harder but it still hit him in the hands lol

Wow, what has gotten into Darnold

Alright Darnold, the defense got you the ball back, time to make this a one score game

What was that idiot 3rd down play

Ridiculous

yeah definitely, the fact it is this close with how bad it has felt we've played is a testament to the fact a good coach could turn this around imo

so are some of the fans in this thread, heh.

If Wilks is the man for the job, this is exactly the kind of game to show it. What had been working isn't, time to adjust.

I don't understand that playcall on 3rd down Edit: may be Darnold not throwing it fast enough actually - at first looked like slow developing routes but I think that may not be the case

He struggles to read the field imo.

he can only do so much. tho I was expecting Darnold to be our let down here...

agree for sure - but let's also let this game finish - isn't looking good, but plenty of game time left.

Wilks won't be fired but the outcome of this and every game from here on out has a strong influence on his getting the interim tag removed.

Haha Wilks only knows DBs okay... Whatever man. I don't think Wilks is some savant but lol. It's crazy how angry this is making you. I've never said McAdoo knows less than Wilks about the offensive. The opposite, lol, just read my fuging post in response to yours a page ago where I said that hahaha. The reason I'm responding is you keep acting like a bigger and bigger ass with more insults. Interesting that when pointed out with your own initial mistakes you say you "explained" aka corrected aka you made a mistake in your intial post. All good bud, glad we're on the same page and Wilks knows something about the offensive side of the ball The best part of this is we probably agree pretty closely on how much Wilks has to do with the offense lol

He hasnt played 17 this season yet.

Depends if you start in CJs first season where he wasn't good enough to see the field yet (unlike Burns), where yes Burns has more. Starting in the second tho, no, but Burns earned his starting job earlier... Because he was better. As to stopping the run, CJ definitely was good there... By his mid career. Let's see what Burns becomes.

Other stats of CJ vs Burns - and this is NOT to knock Charles Johnson, who was great for us... Charles Johnson by the end of his 4th year: 89 solo tackles, 23 TFLs, 36 QB hits, 21.5 (I miscounted and can't edit anymore) sacks. Brian Burns, still in his 4th year: 113 solo tackles, 39 TFL, 73 QB hits, 36 sacks Like ok, Burns' potential trade aside, hard to argue that kind of production and esp. clear growth isn't worth his draft position.

ok fair I shouldn't bother but...

uh what? Johnson after 4 seasons in the league: 20.5 sacks Burns after 4 seasons in the league (with 4 games still to go): 36 Even if you talk about only counting years once they both started playing every game (since CJ barely played his rookie year), Burns is still up (36 vs 30.5)... But keep in mind this itself is an indication of productvity and development... CJ at 24 was 15.5 sacks behind Burns at 24.
