I don’t feel like it will be as bad as last week but it’s hard to know what to expect. We have seen some old school ball and won with it. I don’t think we are good enough to win throwing it, but I don’t know their defense either.

I don’t understand your contention that Rico’s two great games or Daniel Jones and Taylor’s play have relevance to my point Every QB benefits from a great running back. No argument. The point was clear, teams crowd the near field vs Young same as they did with Cam after he lost his gun. Because? They don’t fear being beat deep.

Andy deflated the whole team last week. Which we have seen with Bryce too. Maybe Bryce comes out and runs those scripted plays for some points and sets a better tone. Maybe not.

I don’t want to dog Rodney too much. We went from 1-15 to 7-9 with him and it was Fox ball.

Players know. Sports, music, whatever. Good players know. Now, there are bunch of no playin’ people that don’t know they are no playin’ people, just like in all walks of life. The players know.

Bottom of the roster churn would be okay with me. If some trades are made some people will be waived/released. I was citing something in my SEC does not equal NFL arguments a couple of years back and it is the difference one year of NFL and the following offseason do for players. These guys are not going to be college players if they do it right, year two.

I know you have seen how I feel about it. Right there with you. I swear I was listening to the radio of our game and checking some game cast play by play and they do things like ‘deep incomplete 18 yards. I poo you not that is for real. I have no words or too many words.

I am not going to argue and say people don’t do that, but bro… you talking about two games. I am talking about .. all the other ones.

Well those guys have a shot to be much better players 12 months from now. We should just ride with what we have.

I remember it as teams played us with Cam and his dead arm about like they play us with Bryce. They weren’t afraid of anything deep down the field. Cheated up on everything. Talk about a deep ball Cam had a deep ball.

Miami GM was fired this morning.

I am betting on Canales being handicapped. He has made some progress with Bryce but the limitations are real. Re Canales/Morgan on the general personnel questions I have been working under the assumption that Dan probably knows less about offensive guys particularly WRs and QBs than Canales and the decisions default to Canales unless Morgan feels strongly about something. In which case he probably has the upper hand A major decision like Bryce’s status/future is probably a big powwow thing and Tepper will be consulted as well. My guess only.

I remember. Brooks was okay. But Jake turned out better. Our gain. Imagine if Rodney Peete hadn’t stunk it up vs Jax that day.

And Jake sat in New Orleans too. Probably got outshined in practice there too.

I didn’t think you could really trade an injured player. I can’t know, but can’t dismiss Chuba possibly being less that 100%. Although, if you have no intention of trading said injured player, you could use him to spark discussions with teams that may lead to another player entering the mix. Technically. edit: yes it would be foolish to put any value in Brooks. He is pure gravy if he happens.

I don’t think he does, but I think they think he does. Someone does. edit: I think it isn’t even that, that is just what they use to keep from saying the real reason. Which is shielding him from competition or perceived competition and keeping them out of a QB controversy situation. Which could blow it up.

So many fall short in pass blocking and a lesser number in the receiving department.

I live way in the past lol, recent examples escape me but the Pats cleaned up off of backup QBs there for a little while.

If you want a better return, you act like you don’t need to sell.

I am surprised we have clawed our way back to almost level in the 1st quarter.

A pick like that would allow you to package it to move up for a player. Say someone in the 2nd you really like slips into the third but you know won’t last and you are picking 12th in the round. There you go, give your third and a later pick and get your guy. Currency is currency. I don’t think this is happening though; anyone that wants to trade for a RB will want Rico. Of course you could use Chuba to leverage more for Rico. Say no way you are trading him but we’ll trade Chuba. Make them talk you into trading Rico.

I fine it odd that this would be a thing and just a week later he is on the block. Was Chuba being forced into more carries to showcase him? Conspiracy theorists come on down.

That’s when you get into essentially buying a draft pick. They make the return worth the financial grief.

That is all about staving off an unhappy fan base. Probably strongly encouraged by the boss. You can’t have a good option in the wings with him stinking it up. People are not patient any more. Just look at this place.

If he hit those kinds of numbers my jaw would drop. Some of the holes against Dallas were literally truck sized. He did his part and was great but that ain’t gonna happen every time.
