Something very wrong there. That’s why they chose stability and it doesn’t seem to be working at all

Pretty sure he had Goedert open on that play too, but he never looks past his first read.

He didn’t need to look past his first read it was open. He just missed it.

Sydney is so bad he’s painful to watch. Andre Sam can’t be worse

Jalen just figured it was a hitch because what else would it be

BDN thinks they need to put KP back in the booth where he epent his time as pass game coordinator. Get him away from the emotions of the game and allow him to see what the defense is trying to do

It suddenly makes all the sense in the world why Tristin McCollum was playing over him all last year

Does this mean i should be yearning for McCollum?

He has been really bad the last 2 games, he takes the world's worst angles and is constantly missing the hole

It's been very clear since he came back from injury that all Sydney Brown is good for is special teams, and he really isn't even good for that.

I had an argument a month ago when someone in here thought he should be starting and that all of his penalties were overblown. And it wasn't RTK.

Sydney Brown Fing sucks, he has zero football IQ. If what you want is a blind idiot to launch himself headfirst into people (regardless if it's his own teammate), he's your guy.

Yea but he did a sweet spin move at the end for absolutely no reason while the rusher is 20 yards downfield

His contract was set up as basically a 1 year deal unless he replicated what he did here. I tend to agree that he winds up back here

It was an awful throw, but Smitty was open so there was no real reason to progress to the back side reads.

If he hits smitty in stride he probably also scores, middle of the field was wide open. No one was gonna get to him in time

Yup, that should have been an easy throw and catch. Had the 1st down and possibly a TD. Bad throw by Hurts. He threw it kinda high to Smitty's back shoulder. SMH. 🙃

4 hours ago, Sack that QB said:

He played like an MVP with Steichen. I'd like to see him with an OC who has full autonomy and who knows how to construct a functional passing offense.

You can make that argument, but it wasnt as if he was some elite passer. He still threw for less than 4000 yards that season, and only 22 TDs. Unimpressive passing numbers. Though, efficient and a fun offense to watch. The reason he had such an awesome season is because he also rushed for over 700 yards, and 13 more TDs.

The reasons for the success of the Steichen offense as I see it are

1. Hurts was in his first full year as our starter. We have seen young QBs have immediate success, and then the league catches up to them.

2. Combined with #1, it was a pretty new thing to run as much RPO as we were. It was new for teams to try to defend. And they adjusted by the following year.

3. Hurts was willing to run, and he ran well. He is nowhere near as effective as a runner these days. And seems much less willing. The ground game was a big part of his success, especially his own rushing.

4. He had Miles Sanders averaging over 5 yards per carry. So not only was his passing game supported by his legs, but also by Miles Sanders running super effectively.

There is no OC who can bring those things back. A new OC doesnt make RPOs new and hard to defend again. A new OC doesnt make our OL that much younger and more dominant like they used to be. In turn, the new OC is not going to be able to unleash Barkley. It would require an overhaul of the OL. And a new OC is not going to help Hurts find the fountain of youth and start running as effectively as he used to. Probably wont convince him to start running more either.

The many reasons for the offenses success that year, are not changeable by any coach on this planet.

Tough to do normal NFL passing game things when Jalen is throwing like he was throwing yesterday.
