Give me some hope. Can this offense be turned around?

Personnel built for man paired with a coach who prefers zone...

I just assumed Snow preferred man hence us getting every man corner available. It seemed to me like the soft zone came back with Wilks. We ran a lot of Zone under Rivera. I wish we would play more man coverage.

Yeah it's strange to take Snows front 7 with Wilks Zone secondary. Recipe for dink and dunks all day long. Not so bad yesterday but we also give up a lot of 2nd/3rd and fairly long conversions. All you need is one guy to leave their zone or hand a guy off to a safety who's not paying attention. Seems like man would be easier mentally for such a young roster

Wilks is responsible for coaching the secondary and teaching the zone concepts.  He was on the sideline get into the players ears. The overall defense is Snows responsibility.

Funny you say that.  I remember him talking to Henderson after a play and it appeared he said, "I Told you....." So, it appears maybe Henderson isn't doing his job.

Unlike all the crybabies that want us to lose so that they can write juvenile open letters to David Tepper, I'm trying to remain hopeful here.

Can our offense turn it around? Can the OL gel? Can Baker get it together? Give me a few reasons to think it's a possibility.

Also, is Darnold still alive? Is he even on the sidelines? 

Bonus points if you can explain to me why our secondary sucks and is reverting to a Rivera soft zone.

In 2015, the offense struggled for the first 3 games or so.  They didn't really get it together until the fourth game.  I do think, that with the exception of qb, this team has more talent on offense than the 2015 team did.  Of course, qb is a fairly important position.   And 2015 had a more opportunistic defense that could win games even if the offense was struggling.  But turn arounds, and improvements do happen.  

Do I think this is going to be like 2015?  No, of course not. 

Could we turn it around and challenge for a playoff spot.  We could. 

Will we?  Probably not, but I will keep watching just in case.

Pretty much sums up my feelings about it.

I was wondering if some of our All22 analysts could give us some possible adjustments to look out for.

Personally, I don't think it's a matter of adjustments.  I think the offense just has to get use to playing together.

And its not just us.  There seem to be a lot of offenses around the league that look out of sync.  Tampa, Denver, Kansas City (at times), Bengals, Titans, etc....  I think its somewhat normal for September games.    The teams that get it together contend for playoff spots.  Those that don't, begin planning for the offseason.

How funny would it be if Sam starts and leads us to the playoffs and Rhule gets the last laugh since Rhule always liked Sam better anyway.

It would be a great redemption story and a lot of huddlers' heads would explode. Not going to bet my next paycheck on it though.

Robby Anderson caught over 100 balls two years ago.  He is like a 5th target.  This offense has talent.  Need to gel and get some mojo going

He has more drops than catches this season... I think there are a lot of factors in play.... Including better play calling but IMO it all hinges on Ickey and how quickly he progresses....

 

 

Baker is getting a lot of edge pressure and is already feeling ghost pressure when he isn't.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
