Too obvious.  Now punting on 1st down? They would never see that coming.  Genius I tell ya.

I think hekker may be our best "thrower of the football".  I say fake punt on all downs.  Who is with me?

Best idea I've heard so far. Count me in.

I coined the play RPPO for Hekker yesterday

Sounds like someone decided to alter the game plan.

It was the same game plan all game, it was just a gameplan that can only work for a quarter before the defense just sits on the los.  It was an impossible gameplan to actually win an nfl game with.

What you saw was what McAdoo came up with and Wilks let things get out of control.  I'm guessing there may be some tensions going on that are not limited to the players. You will see the cracks starting to form soon.

Beyond that.

Hey folks, we are working on passing vertically as we’ve gotten the horizontal passing down now. You’ll see us work in the vertical game over the next 4 weeks.  Ben has ordered a lamination machine so once he gets that we’ll be ready to go vertical.

I think Wilks definitely has some responsibility.

Oh he definitely does shoulder the responsibility, he's the head coach. 

There's one thing that struck me as odd was that there was no mention of whether McAdoo was ever a consideration.  Not that I care but it was as if he wasn't even given a chance to make his case. If he was I've not read anything about it. 

Something like that would have to effect the dynamic between he an Wilks one would think.

Harkens back to Rivera, Pre-Riverboat days. Wilks said they were going to be aggressive on both sides of the ball, and the offense was playing scared. I also know McAdoo is a stubborn MF so he could have called "Literally" what Wilks told him to just to be a dick

Think of the confusion when we trot out the "twin punter formation."

It's not a matter of want to. It's a matter of who's healthy. Who sucks the most seems to vary week to week. At this point it doesn't matter to me.

In terms of someone wanting to acquire him. Not Panther depth chart status. 
I can’t see anyone wanting to give him a contract.

Sounds like he'll activate Sam off IR on Wednesday

Worst thing that can happen to this team.

Darnold can win a couple games behind this oline, which is the best he will ever had. Plus he now has CMC.

Prepare for some bullshit moral victories and the 5th pick in the draft.

Yes. We know PJ and Sam are not. We KNOW this. There is ample tape proving it.

Baker is about the best we have and then MAYBE Eason. 

If it isn't Baker or maybe Eason, it's a pick your poison turd we are gonna lose with anyway.

Darnold has identical stats as Baker with he worst oline in the NFL and no CMC. Plus his rushing numbers look better.

Believe it or not from what we’ve seen of Baker so far, Darnold is actually better and awful as he is.

Does that mean you're 100% sold on Stroud or Young? Might as well evaluate Darnold and Eason behind an average O-line.
