I know a lot of you probably don't want to talk about this today given Hurney's offing.

But do you guys think that losing Shockey was a bit of a bigger loss than anyone really realized. This offense is almost identical to last year, yet it seems as though they fold in a lot of tough situations. I think we honestly miss the fire, passion and edge that Shockey brought to the team. I couldn't see him just sitting around on the sidelines when we are getting embarassed, I just picture him trying to hype up the team or start a fight with the opponent.

Almost identical players maybe, but very different schemes.

So must of our runs last year weren't read options? Must have been watching the wrong Panthers. By virtue of what you are saying, you are saying the team implemented a completley new offense in this offseason which isnt even close to true.

The 2 TE "Coryell" downfield passing game was so money last year that they thought they'd put it on the shelf. Clearly not signing Shockey was a huge error as the entire system has morphed into this ugly cluster-fug of read option garbage.

The effort NOT to re-sign Shockey was essentially a harbinger of this 1-5 season and the Hurney sacking. It didn't have to be Shockey, but Barnidge just can't give you the veteran savvy needed in the Coryell system. That TE needs to be a monster blocker and a crisp route runner. He needs to have toughness, experience, and a little swag.

Shockey was the epitome of this offense last year. Mike "oops, I dropped the pass" Tolbert is now the epitome of this year's failure.

Hurney is the one to blame. Then Chud, the Rivera.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      I want to throw in how much easier it is for a QB to develop and improve with a good oline.  Huge credit to the front office for spending the money on our two guards.  Cade Mays also had a 2nd really good game starting at center.  Love how he has developed and hope he's the real deal. Look at what Stroud is dealing with now in Houston after injuries and problems with their oline.  Strouds accuracy has been greatly affected as it seems like he doesn't trust his protection. Canales is doing a great job developing Bryce.  I think the QB whisperer might be for real. And obviously big props to Bryce.  First round pick that looks horrible in his first year.  Different coaches and systems.  Fans and media are calling him the biggest bust in NFL history and he looked like it in the first two games this year.  Gets benched.  Young man keep his cool and just continued to work and only worry about what he can control.  I hope things continue like this and we end up with a great success story. Bryce Young kept pounding.

      This is exactly what we needed to see from Beyce

      Outside of Philly (who currently is #3 in pass defense) the rest of our remaining opponents are bottom 1/3 of the League in that regard.  Let's see what Bryce can do versus bad pass Ds.
