wow see I always knew that our all-star coaching staff would eventually attract top flight talent!

Damn dude, sorry to hear that. Feel better soon!

Absolutely. Hurney at least had incredible first rounders... I have high hopes for Fitts but the jury is out...

Often if someone says "but this rookie needs time to learn them game" during the draft process, they're talking sitting half or full seasons. Every single rookie, even "Pentium processors" or whatever it is BY was billed as, will need time to adjust to the NFL game speed. Some do it faster than expected, some slower. BY is showing evidence of being NFL ready in changing plays at the line etc. But he's also shown he isn't yet ready for the speed of defenses. My bigger concern is if he trusts his arm enough to get the ball into tight windows. With this receiving group, it's just what he'll have to do. Way too early for me to think he's a bust, though. There's been glimpses of talent here and there and I suspect we'll get lots more.

We actually had a conversation before the trade up about how the good thing about Reich was we probably didn't need to over reach this year for a QB since his system can work with a lot of QBs. Then we went and traded away our best player on offense and the future to do just that, so...

Wilks as an HC was not particularly aggressive, no. I also did say my opinion changed on preferring an OC. Wilks did an admirable job with what he had. I wouldn't have been upset with Wilks either. I wanted Steichen, but was impressed by Reichs staff. So much for that.

I'm not sure he deserves to be paid what he wants. Frankly he looks a lot like he always has to me - good for a sack or pressure here and there but not really a consistent disruptor.

Evero is legit. Last year I was very against hiding a DC for the job and I've completely changed my mind. Evero is smart and aggressive in his play calling and the D looked bad in the second half but he was out his two starting LBs, a safety, and two starting corners... several of which were lost in game (harder to scheme around than those lost before it). When given a chance to scheme he hides weaknesses and beings out a good squad imo.

Well, there's definitely a thread that was started saying that. But I don't think that it's crazy for Dalton to be ahead of BY. Expected, even, and plenty of time for BY to turn his season around. Frankly I thought our offense scheme was still pretty bad with Dalton. If anything, I'm even more convinced we're squandering what we do have talent wise. Where was Shenault? Why does it seem all our runs are just dives? Where's Chubba? How did we go into this game so unprepared for the noise? And fug man, never let TMJ on a football field again...

So Next gen stats calculates CPOE, completion percentage over expectation, based on expected completions given distance of the pass and probably some other analytics. Weirdly, Daltons was -6%... which is very confusing to me. BY was very slightly positive in the only game we have from him, which just makes me think it's another weird and worthless stat.

Chark and Theilen got separation at times it seemed, but Dalton was willing to put the ball into tight windows regardless, which Bryce has been hesitant to. Our receivers are still a problem...

Dalton played much better than I expected. He stretched the field often. We still seem to favor the right size of the field on short throws. Was good to see Chark getting more involved.

Chark looked open often, or at least had separation, but may need to wait for the film to be sure. TMJ is beyond atrocious, though, and it seems like we just have given up on Shenault.

IMO, the offense is such a huge problem from a coaching perspective because we our HC is probably too involved on that side of the ball. Reich needs to step back imo from play calling etc

We're also down starters... and lost like 4 more in the middle of the game, which is even worse. Agree on TMJ... dude just has quit.

Our OL can't run block for poo and we are running a pass heavy offense... then we got down big. Just sucks.

Prepare to be disappointed then, heh. He isn't going anywhere.

We need him back. I hope Woods is back soon too. We miss them both.

This is just embarrassing now. This is on the coaches.

Edit: wrong thread haha

Injuries just built up on this defense... our lack of depth is showing

Thielen has been doing well tbh even in past games. Dalton is trusting the guys to make plays in tight windows... BY will learn to do the same... I hope.

Sanders had a nice dive under the o/d line for that TD

I don't think this is fair to say of Chark, dude had a beautiful catch for us

He had his guy beat in space but the ball was off target...
