I don’t like it, but they had the refs too.

I am not sure there is a coach that can shine Bryce Young to be what he is not (and I feel will never be), in the NFL. If you can’t hit a deep ball you are just no big threat to an NFL defense, even the bad ones.

All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.

Underhill, it was being discussed At The Time. The lack of deep balls. One reason Dalton got hit, yes, was standing in and delivering a deep ball. It’s just a lot quicker to say wake the fug up where have you been.

I don’t see how a pro could miss stuff that took me 15 minutes to see. Never understood how they could not see it.

It looked to me like the later rounds were littered with gifts to position coaches. How well versed on why this corner at 176 vs the other one, is Tepper going to be?

Oh yeah the QB is huge in this stuff. Imagine what Smitty could have done with a surgeon back there. And some more offensive minded head coaches. It was always run heavy. He was one of the best I ever saw and people didn’t know who he was outside of Carolina, for the longest time.

For sure, any college scout that touted Bryce Young as worth the first overall pick, needs to be gone. I don’t think the college scouts are so much the issue, I think it is the minds of the decision makers that have the most influence. If this draft produces, and Morgan was really in charge, maybe Tepper will develop some respect and stay back and let people work.

I just am not aware of regimens that offer increased velocity which is the biggest weakness I can see in Young (that needs addressing right now). Is it possible to do? Who has done it that we can see as an example? I guess I am saying before I believe weights will give him added zip on the ball, I would want proof that it works. I think weight room would help him not be pulled down by two fingers, even if they are big strong DL fingers. They are still fingers controlling 185 lbs. So that needs to be addressed but it is a secondary issue behind his footwork and ball velocity. It might help too, in allowing him to retain some velocity while not putting 100% effort into throws. Which should help his ‘deep’ ball. I agree they can’t fix his footwork on those pistol or gun snaps where he slowly goes backwards and does the tippy toe thing. Maybe putting him under center and taking the option of that type of drop away from him, forcing him into the classic under center style. Drop and plant and throw. Maybe that would help get around it.

Frank, you know what I think about Young’s arm (subpar). I don’t understand how weight lifting helps get velocity on a throw. Maybe lower body stuff combined with streamlining and tightening up his mechanics?

Wake up.

There were deep routes called. There had been I think, two called in one game one in the other. Don’t hold me to those numbers but... It was a thing. Especially after preseason. I’ll let someone else give their perspective.

What Dalton was really all about is the deep routes weren’t being called or run with Bryce Young lol ‘under’ center. All of a sudden we had them again. Why do you Young faithful think that was, exactly? Or what the point to take away was? We drafted a QB and sold 2 farms to do it and the coach really is on the hot seat because he wants to bench him. Why would he possibly have wanted to bench him? Well maybe Dalton showed us that (?!). Maybe try and be realistic.

Yeah there were complaints made I focused elsewhere knowing they do the draft and then make their retentions, releases, new hires etc. I guess they have some candidates in mimd.

In the first place he wouldn’t ever have sat the whole season. I agree that it is likely Reich wasn’t fired when he was Dalton though... he didn’t get reps with those players and it was a new playbook too. i feel like had he gotten more reps and a couple or three games to get comfortable taking reps all week we’d have seen better results than in Seattle. Which okay the defense may have been weak but the crowd and noise made up for it. Weren’t there like, 8 false starts or something?

People are going to grab him and push him and make it look like he did something. But if they don’t do it right and he gets it in space it’ll be fun to watch.

Corral didn’t have poo which basically puts us in the same place in the standings, hmm. I think you’d have been on to something. edit: and yeah I’m all for fliers on fallen QB prospects. 2nd day is even better. Just do it until you get lucky.

Sounds a lot like what I watched on Sundays last year he will feel comfortable. edit, and Legette was so wide open on a lot of them. Which won’t be happening much.

Darn right about undoing that trade. Anything else was better than what happened.

And you are facing better defenses the deeper you go, you have to keep them honest.

19:15 in that video Wallace chases Legette down. 20:45 Legette wins one.

I remember him mostly because he is associated with a bot peeve. That bot mocks us you know.... hey the team is poo again, look over there>>> distracts with a sympathetic story about the OL handing out plates at the shelter for an hour. I don’t remember reading he was really struggling on the field, but I do remember his dad is a gourmet chef and sends meat to Zavalla to feed to the team. And I remember that irritating the hell out of me for some crazy reason when I saw him standing perfectly still and watching stunting pass rushers as they go by.

I am gonna say, it has to be on the concern list. OTOH it isn’t last year. The two guys flanking the C are going to be a bit more help than the guys we had. I mean, I didn’t know why Zavala was on the team after watching his misadventures last season.

So I was looking for any Wallace vs Legette in these clips. Nothing in Wallace’s highlights. I found him imn a Legette TD but he was on the backside it was away from him. Probably a good thing I can’t find them, and have to work through them making each other look good/bad.

There is something to that in the big picture. Some defense will be concocted that slows down the latest offensive trend and the pendulum swings for a while. Seems like the running game comes up big in those periods of change. Things go back to fundamentals.
