Can we officially declare TMJ a bust?

If he was on the field I missed it.  

Higgins and TMJ neither got a snap. 
 

which IMO does speak to some mismanagement going on.  Still don’t see how  you don’t give Higgins a single rep in Baker’s first game.

I guarantee Rhule thought not playing Higgins would help Baker spread the ball around or some such nonsense

Yes. He’s had plenty of time to prove himself and he hasn’t. He was never that great in college either. Feasted on getting single coverage against teams 3rd best corner since he had Chase and Jefferson as teammates and happened to have Joe Burrow passing the ball to him

We’re one game into the second season. The OC was fired in the first as a scapegoat for a line which dwindled our playbook to 25 percent of capacity because 3+ step drops are out of the question.  The guy has the physical tool kit to play any of the receiver positions and in all likelihood is being asked to learn all of them. But for recent history with Chase and Jefferson (who coincidentally likely absorbed most reps), year three is typically when WR’s make the big leap. Did a bit of a dive trying to find a decent comp  as there are plenty of third year break outs but many of the guys are of the shiftier archetype . I think TMJ’s injuries skew the targets in the first year a bit, but guys like TO, Calvin Johnson and Dwayne Boye were all bigger, athletic guys that took some time to hit their stride. 

This is premature. Maybe circa week 6 we can reasonably start discussing impending doom on this guy’s career. Let’s see a comprehensible game plan before we start crucifying redshirts.

Higgins has always been a 4 at the very best. 

Yeah, but Baker knows him and they have chemistry.   Seems like you would work him in a little in Bakers debut.   

Baker didn’t seem comfortable early and doesn’t have much work with anyone.

Bc we didn’t need to…. We didn’t run enough offensive plays to sit DJ or Robbie. Our offense only had 45 total plays. 
 

our longest drive was barely 5 minutes. There just wasn’t a point to sub out DJ or Robbie bc they were the best players at their position and were well rested due to the lack of play opportunities.

    • I want to throw in how much easier it is for a QB to develop and improve with a good oline.  Huge credit to the front office for spending the money on our two guards.  Cade Mays also had a 2nd really good game starting at center.  Love how he has developed and hope he's the real deal. Look at what Stroud is dealing with now in Houston after injuries and problems with their oline.  Strouds accuracy has been greatly affected as it seems like he doesn't trust his protection. Canales is doing a great job developing Bryce.  I think the QB whisperer might be for real. And obviously big props to Bryce.  First round pick that looks horrible in his first year.  Different coaches and systems.  Fans and media are calling him the biggest bust in NFL history and he looked like it in the first two games this year.  Gets benched.  Young man keep his cool and just continued to work and only worry about what he can control.  I hope things continue like this and we end up with a great success story. Bryce Young kept pounding.
    • Outside of Philly (who currently is #3 in pass defense) the rest of our remaining opponents are bottom 1/3 of the League in that regard.  Let's see what Bryce can do versus bad pass Ds.
