For those upset we might not draft offense with #1...

It would be dumb to at this point. Rivera pretty much said what I have thought this season. 'But we had the 32nd ranked offense....waaaaaah'. Yeah we did and there was good reason.

First off we DO have an outstanding OLine....when healthy. This OL put up TWO 1000 yard rushers a year ago and gave the QB time to throw. We for a majority of the season had a makeshift line due to injuries and sometimes that happens. Name the best OL you think is out there, then yank up to 3 starters at one time for most of the season (esp both tackles) and honestly think about how they would do.

Next, we had a lot of youth at WR. These kids are learning on the fly. I personally thought they did pretty damn well all things considering.

Clausen. I have said he is nothing but hype, well I am right and wrong. I do believe Clausen was thrown in the deep end and there is no way in hell you can truely evaluate him. There is no way anyone can honestly draw any asumptions about the kid. Rookie QB, OLine beat to hell due to injuries, both top RB's out at some point and young WR's. Sorry but we MUST give this kid some more time and put him in a good position with some good help THEN evaluate the kid.

Coaching and system. The system ( if you want to call it that ) and the coaching (I wanna laugh when I say that word with the previous clowns) absolutely sucked.

Lastly, there is no talent in this draft on offense now that Luck went back, that is worth #1. You do NOT EVER take a WR #1. No way in hell. QB? We must give Clausen time, bring in a vet and let him run this while Clausen develops. We don't need RB's, a TE can be found later. We can upgrade Guard in Free agency or later in the draft. I think Defense will be the pick at #1 if we don't trade down which is my choice. Trade down and let Rivera have plenty of picks to build this team with.

When you're thrown into the deep end, you don't have to swim for your life, just float around long enough for someone to save you.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      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 developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      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
