Jacob Eason… Come on down. Thoughts on his limited play?’

Here I go again, getting my hopes up yet again only to likely be let down when he plays next week and throws like 4 picks.. But man, I would be lying if I said he didn’t look miles better than PJ. Yes against a soft, garbage time defense but even still, 6 foot freaking 6 and he was slinging darts, it wasn’t only that but he seemed to pass the eye test, looked comfortable and not scared and showed good poise in the pocket. 
 

Just some perspective, he basically had more passing yds (or close to it) in 30 seconds then PJ had all game. 

He stinks

Who gives a poo. He was a top high school recruit that went to a talented team and put up great numbers like he was suppose to. You bring this up and we go in circles. 
Auburn before Cam, LSU before Burrow, Oregon before Herbert, Tennessee before Manning, Texas Tech before Mahomes. The college doesn’t make the player.

Oh and don’t draft Levis because Kentucky produced Couch, The Hefty Lefty, and Cobb had to become a WR in the NFL.

But I thought we needed another WR.

He's better than PJ. Of course,  literally every QB on an active roster or practice squad is better than PJ.

I'd assume bench him so he can use Rhule and the injury as an excuse to get another job. At this point I doubt Darnold is chomping at the bit to get back on the field lol. McAdoo is that bad so far with our best O-line in like 7 years

Ikey is getting beat like a drum. It's sad that this is our best in 7 years considering he's been as bad as Matt Khalil was.

To be fair I didn't get to watch the full Rams game but he's been one of the top rated OT's in the league the last couple weeks

Starting to sound like it might happen.

I saw somewhere that Icky's PFF grade was worse in the Rams game. For a year 1 left tackle he's shown great improvement. 

I just did my first rewatch of the Rams game, but mostly was watching general offense. 

The problem with the oline remains situational. They still get beat on blitzes and stunts, Elfein misses protections (see Ramsey coming and killing PJ from Sunday), and there run blocking is suspect because of CMC's elite vision and lateral movement. The YAC are very telling and likely inflating the.

Prior to Mayfield going down, the pass blocking was also inflated by Mayfield scrambles. He's got those happy feet for a reason, and probably about 2ish sacks a game were saved. 

I think Panthers got a good one in Icky. He's already playing at a level beyond expectations for a young tackle, and he's gone up against a murderers row of NFL edge talent from the jump.

Hiit submit too early. 

Eason "looks" good, like a big, big armed QB. His decisions and accuracy were not great in limited sample size. CMC blew up that easy screen and was looking to make a house call but the DB played it correctly and got the tackle. Eason's next throws were not inspiring and the eventual interception which was the worst of the season, as at least 2 rams could have made a play on the ball before reaching the receiver. 

But, given he's been here what a week or two? He could have played worse up til then. Too small a sample size, but at least the moment wasn't too big for him to muff a snap or turtle up under pressure. 

Also, Elfein is one bad snap away from a huge game changing turnover. Every game during rewatches I see Mayfield snagging bad snaps in shotgun, and then there were several terrible snaps that PJ, to his credit, hauled in and avoided disaster. 

Ultimately, the Rams were beatable if Mayfield or maybe Darnold were in, and Horn wasn't out. 

It's crazy to me that with this schedule, if not for Rhule, Snow, and McAdoo, this team could be sitting at 4-2 and 5-1 even, with the defense playing well, and just running the 2 min offense or getting the OC out of the way. The only decent team of the bunch seems to be the Giants.

Appreciate the cliff notes. I got halfway through the 3rd quarter replay the night of the game. I did notice Elf snapping the ball almost over PJ's shoulder at least once, and sometimes with Baker it's at his shins. On top of that at least judging by CMC's nextgen stats he gets not push up the middle in run plays. No reason not to put in Bozeman since we already paid him. I'll finish the last quarter of the game later today, I wish we got a bigger sample size from Eason but from all the college and preseason clips I've seen he just doesn't really play to his size. Almost awkwardly tall, gets sacked easily when pressure gets to him instead of powering through like you'd hope someone his size would. 

[AlphabetsEnd]

I will watch the ALL-22 later this week. NFL+ is now saying "available 24 hours after game ends" - so i guess with the later game time it's delaying the posting. 

[Jackie Lee]

I force fed myself the broadcast replay of the 2nd half. In conclusion, just play Eason. He looked like he wanted to do it, 3 days of prep with no training camp or even scout team reps all year and he looked comfortable. He forced that ball that was tipped into an interception, but it was 1st and goal and should have been a run play in the first place. We're gonna suck anyway so give us a few weeks of Eason with "Injured" PJ or Darnold as the emergency QB2's

Eason start with a Darnold backup. Why not. I just watched the replay and Eason looked better than PJ or Baker with no camp or practice reps

Could be playing Zappe right now lol 

 

Exactly why he's going to play. Again, they never intended for Matt Corral to compete this season. The fake competition was Rhule breaking it to Sam gently that he had eyes for Baker. Baker needed a coddler and he couldn't resist another wayward QB. 

 

[rippadonn]

Jacob Easons passes looked slow to me. What should have been bullets were a beat behind and looked alarmingly pickable.

Scary. I didn't see anything special.
