So did Simmons already take Richardson’s spot?

Who do we have that can pass rush? Our best one is a 2nd round rookie who was known to need time as a pass rusher. Evero made it work in Denver when he had some talent on his defense.

It’s a bend don’t break strategy. Good offenses can pick it apart but he has been working with a deficit in defensive talent in his defense. Regardless Evero is a FA after this season.

Baker is one of the biggest poo talkers on the field. It’s probably why Jackson was talking to him.

27 looks like it might be the year to draft one anyway.

@mrcompletely11here is his chart from yesterday. It’s not the typically bad ones we see when he plays poorly. Granted Tampa’s pass defense is bad but he wasn’t the reason we lost yesterday IMO. There are plenty of games where he is and I’m fine with trying a different option. Using half a decade to see if a player can be your QB seems kind of crazy…

What did he get banned for?

Yeah him not being the guy is a logical stance to take in a debate. I have no problem with that. Blaming him for this loss immediately when he was the lesser of many other issues is all I was debating.

Yeah our passing offense put up 250 yards and 2 TDs with absolutely no help from the running game. To me they did their part. There were a couple 3rd down drops as well which could fall on the QB but again this isn’t really the game to throw him under the bus. Last week was one 1000%. Bryce did enough to beat Tampa just like last time today. If we want to be elite defenses like Seattle then yeah we need to reevaluate our QB, play calling, OL, and weapons.

Yeah if you can play 2 high and shut down our running game we are going to struggle. Saints did that both times. We don’t have the talent to adjust to that.

Yes Young and most QBs need more than 19 rushing yards. Last week he poo the bed, this week our running game poo the bed. We have a lot of work as a team as a whole to work on. Can you point me to an average QB who won by playing better than Young did today while his team ran for under 20 yards?

The Saints stacked the box? I thought they played 2 high and disrupted our passing game? Every time Rico plays bad it doesn’t mean teams stacked the box. Rico just feasted on some bad defenses earlier in the season. He is banged up, running out of steam like he did last year, and played some tougher run defenses. Rico is solid but you don’t want to force him into being your workhorse all year. It’s why we don’t need to throw money at him or any other RB this offseason.

When the running game gets clamped to the tune of 19 yards averaging 1.2 a carry it’s a different story. Those teams aren’t winning unless there is some elite defense or passing offense bailing out the running game. That’s all I’m saying about this particular game. Our passing offense was actually above our average which I know is bad. The running game needs a pulse for us to win against an average to below average team.

He knows his stuff. I think he picks some of these arguments out of boredom or just to debate. I can understand him wanting to move on from Bryce. I’m for it if that’s what we decide. He just wasn’t on the top of my list of issues this week. Last week is a different story.

They just allowed 145 rushing yards to the Dolphins last week. If you are averaging 1.2 rushing yards per attempt you aren’t winning that game unless you have a top passing offense. Running game is our strength on offense right? Their time of possession was over 15 minutes more because they could run the ball and we couldn’t. There has to be an ounce of balance for most offenses to work. I know you know this. We beat them by 3 at home two weeks ago because we were able to have some balance. That balance didn’t exist today because of the running game.
