Find Out Who We Are....

The coaches are saying this, the players are saying this.  I think this is an issue.  A GM has a vision on what he wants the team to be.  A coach has his vision on what he wants the team to be.  How do we not know who we are?  It's suppose to be being installed by the staff.  You think Andy Reid or Harbough would field a team and not know what kind of team they want and who they are?

We couldn't find out who we are on offense because we were playing with a QB who couldn't throw the ball effectively beyond the LOS. 

I'm just saying if were a run first team or a pass first team, you are installing schemes to do this, were not or should not be figuring this out on the fly.

We were a team playing without a QB. We might as well have been wearing leather helmets since the forward pass wasn't part of our capabilities.

In fairness, I think theres an identity that they want, but they had a mentally broken kid that could not execute.  There is zero dawg in Bryce.  I remember hearing about cam newton fighting with a teammate in YEAR 1 about them losing a game and in the locker room another player told him "hey, its ok, you cant win them all".  THAT is dawg.  Dalton might not go to that extreme, but he will command respect and demand execution in which I have zero belief that Young commanded.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
