“Missed Opportunities”


*FreeFua*

Recommended Posts

It's the same story after every loss. For a supposed player's coach, Ron sure does have a helluva history of throwing players under the bus after each and every loss. It always comes down to execution amd missed opportunities. Meanwhile, our vaunted front seven hasn't been able to stop the run or rush the passer with any success all season long under new DC Eric Washington. This after being 2nd in the NFL in sacks last season. Your boy isn't getting it done, Ron. Can you fix it or not? If not, then exactly what are you good for? You're supposed to be a great defensive coach.

How on Earth do you bench your kicker to go for two, but keep Funchess in the entire game while limiting Samuel's snaps?????? Crap coaching, crap decision-making. 

The cherry on top is that the Lions don't score their first touchdown if Rivera was on top of things enough to know to challenge those yards after catch.

No reason to bench Funch. He takes pressure off DJ and Curt. Cam started to overthinking and didn't hit the throw. Not the end of the world. That said, I wish we would have kicked it. We were killing their defense and their offense lost the run game and they couldn't do anything.

Like the opportunity to plant Funchess on the bench?  That kind of opportunity?  Or did he mean something different . . . asking for a friend.

Can we get Jordan to ask this specific question bc it's a dead on assessment. Our kicker failed twice to do his job Fun failed about five times the same kicker who won hit a 63 yarder to win this year please name a game Fun isn't doing something to hurt us. If we all can't see his lack of blocking when the young guns get the ball on reverses he's usually not blocking just standing there it's becoming a weekly thing for him to be unengaged mentally. Holding back Samuels productivity while hurting the team by playing a much lesser talented player tells you all we need to know about MISSED OPPORTUNITIES.

No he doesn’t.

The play literally happened right in front of him. He never got two feet down.

    • There are very few players in this draft that don't have a concern that could cause someone to not like them---I think the longer a player hangs around the top 10 (beginning in February) the more their flaws could withstand the scrutiny. Some fall too far, in my opinion, and are thrown into the scratch and dent bin.  Jack Sawyer (Ohio State) comes to mind, Shavon Revel (East Carolina), Restrepo (Miami).  I wonder if it is not that we found things through research, it could be that we exploited trivial things.  You can't measure the "it" factor. Those three just mentioned--I would have no problem drafting them at a discount.  Restrepo ran a 4.8--not as big a deal as people think--he is going to be a chain-moving slot--he will be sliding underneath, finding a hole in the zone, etc.  Great hands, great attitude.  I take him in the fourth.  Jack Sawyer is the high motor over-achiever.  I think he can be a 8-10 sack guy, block a lot of passes, and hold the edge.  I take him in round 3 if they let him fall that far.  Revel could be one of the top 3 CBs--if he is there at 58, I take him.  When the flaw is what you see when you hear their names, you are blind to their other talents.
    • Sims has to do a little outrage marketing to make the engagement numbers go vroom, but there's been a few analysts that have commented on how Walker is ultimately going to be depending on whomever drafts him to properly develop him. Whether that's starting him off of as a rotational edge guy on obvious passing downs or settling him at ILB will be up to whoever ends up with him. A lot of folks like to point out Isaiah Simmons, and as much as I like Isaiah as a Clemson fan he's not the guy that Jalon Walker is between the ears (this isn't to say Isaiah isn't bright, but didn't seem to breathe football like Jalon does). The kid's got a shot; he's just going to need it somewhere that's going to aim first before firing him off.
    • Evero runs Vic Fangio's scheme and leans heavily on cover 4 with disguised coverages. It is not predominantly cover-2 as suggested. This means that the box safety is going to likely be covering 1/4th as opposed to 1/2 of the field. Whomever the team brings in to be the boundary safety (unless they stay with Demani) is going to be covering the 1/2 part. Though with Evero's scheme, that box safety can also be one of the three underneath coverage guys depending on how they've got it disguised prior to the snap.
