  1. That should be expected as he learns strength's, preferences, tendencies, etc.; but a lot of that is evident on game tape too. So we'll see how the offense evolves. Another pitfall is letting the pendulum swing too far and you over adjust and get too complex. It's a delicate balance for sure.
  2. I'm excited about the possibilities with them moving forward. My concern now is to see how they adjust to the league having a bunch of film, will they be able to stay ahead of the curb?
  3. I'm a big fan after watching all the UGA games over the last couple of years.
  4. He improved over last year's wretched performance, but was it enough to warrant the Panthers picking up his 5th year option and possibility a new contract? What say you? Unless we upgrade in the draft this year I think we have to. Moton is long in the tooth and reliable LT's are hard to come by. So many holes to fill... https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article297503103.html
  5. I'll go back and watch the coaches film, I'm curious. I was only halfway paying attention by that point yesterday. My point is that if you were to just run every WR in the NFL in a straight line for 40-50 yards AT woud finish in the bottom half. I may be wrong, but flat out speed was never his game anyway. He's a route technician who has great quickness and lateral agility and burst. I hope he can teach XL how to catch! EDIT - upon watching the replay it looks to me like the safety and CB were surprised, both got late breaks. Coker ran an out and AT gave a very subtle move. I would bet they were expecting Coker to go long and AT run an in or a comeback. If you look at their stances, body position and eyes, it sure looks like they were shocked that AT went deep.
  6. I think he's done enough to prove that he isn't the problem. He's been one of the few bright spots over the last several weeks. Pass protection is still an issue though I think that has more to do with scheme than anything. By that I mean there's no real credible deep threat to keep the safeties honest. Also, with a defense that can't stop anyone opposing DC's can pin their ears back and send everything they have at Bryce. Is Bryce the answer and worth what we gave up to get him? I don't know, I hope so. However the blame for the team's woes is no longer on his shoulders.
  7. Slow being a relative term, I think it's applicable. He's quicker than fast and can get that separation getting into and out of his breaks. He's not a threat to just run past anyone.
  8. Props to the old, slow white guy for consistently getting open and making plays.
  9. This is me, I want to attack on both sides of the ball.
  10. Hopefully someone who takes us back to a 43 front. I've never been a fan of the 34.
  11. I'd like to see the particulars of the re-zoning request. I'm sure they'll get whatever they ask for.
  12. I’m not a EE fan, but that has more to do with the 3-4 scheme than it does him, personally. I did think the play calling with the late lead was horrible.
  13. This says Theilen was trades to Pitt for a conditional 6th. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/ex-vikings-receiver-adam-thielen-traded-on-deadline-day/ar-AA1tyFkQ?ocid=winp2fptaskbarent&cvid=66d4de70c3ea448faa194cb3134d11da&ei=24
  14. I appreciate the optimism. While I do agree that we're close we're not just one player away. IMO we need a pass rush, a MLB and a QB. I think we're a few pieces away from competing, but we'll see if Tepper has the patience to let things play out.
  15. When he first came in he said something to the effect that fans would be frustrated with his commitment to the run, so far I'm frustrated with the lack of commitment. We finally have a OL that can create running lanes, not sure why we continue to sling the ball.
  16. I really don't want the media circus that will follow Sanders.
  17. My son recently starting playing OL in 7-8-9 yo league and I'm helping to coach the lines. They don't have enough players so most of them play both ways. My first lesson and something I continue to harp on is the importance of winning at the line of scrimmage. It's a warzone and those battles determine the outcome of the war.
  18. The game is won at the line of scrimmage. The Raiders have Crosby and Wilkens and both were effectively neutralized throughout the game. It was amazing to watch. If you have the All 22 Access through NFL.com it really highlights the effectiveness of the OL. Andy trusted the protection and was able to make the throws.
  19. I love the trenches, my faves are Derrick Brown and Robert Hunt. If you can't win at the line of scrimmage then the rest simply doesn't matter.
