GreenbleedinNC Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 So really IDC how good a defense is, If we can only amass 55 yards a game from Sanders, we're not going anywhere. Smith 1 catch all game?? if Hurts can't throw downfield,we need a new QB. Although it's too early to tell yet, I find this lack of offense disturbing. Like I said, too early to tell yet but I really thought I would see more offense than we could produce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stine Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 13 hours ago, Bleedinggreen93 said: My thing going forward and this is for Siri and Hurts is can we find ways to attack teams in the intermediate passing game… I think our short game can work at times and will take timing for Hurts can at least keep teams honest with a decent deep ball(not sure he has the arm to complete them if they aren’t timed right from what i seen in the SF game)… And not 100% sure if it was the OL him seeing Smith late or what but want to say I seen two deep balls that if Hurts could put little more on them Smith has a good chance to make a play on the ball and come down with it. Through two games he has surprised me look better then I gave him credit for but I’m still not completely sold on him either. It he is trending in the right direction Hurts arm is no worse than Carr's. Yet Carr completes a long ball often. Difference? Carr let's it go when the WR is 15 yards down the field allowing the WR to catch the ball while running at full speed. Hurts let's it go after the WR gets separation which is too late. Result is an underthrown ball or the Wr battling for it 40 yards down the field. This comes with experience, so I am not knocking Hurts. I am just pointing out that he needs to trust the play. Once he does that no on will be complaining about his arm strength. Also, Brees had a weak arm and he seemed to do OK....... 10 hours ago, Bleedinggreen93 said: Goff out there putting up the numbers lol glad I picked him up as my QB lol… 137 2 tds at the half can live with that not so good in the 2nd half.....

Favre on with them now. Hands down the best I've seen or heard in decades. I'll pass. Not a Peyton Fan. Not a Manning fan. I actually like Collingsworth. He does allot of research before the games. Yes, he comes off a bit offensive at times but it is harmless.... Did you see the special on him aired on the NFL Network? Really spins a different picture about the dude....

Smith was open a few times and Hurts did not pull the trigger. This will come in time. Remember, this team all needs to play and improve as a unit. We are far from the finished product....

This preseason he was in competition for a starting LT job. But sure let’s practice him at RB instead of him earning the starting LT with a new contract. You make it sound like they would be taking him away for hours to practice one play.... Just not true. Only takes about 20 minutes to go over one play. Jordan, you need to stand here and take the ball up the middle and gain one yard. Yep, that is going to take hours of practice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying you couldn’t ever do it in the future just saying…the guy was focused on trying to win a starting LT job and new contract. I believe taking a guy that had never played football and progressing him to starting LT was very impressive in the amount of time it’s happened.

cunninghamtheman Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 I think if you only ever practice taking a handoff for twenty minutes in your entire life the odds would favor it resulting in a fumble live game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to throw in a wrinkle, which can be done with minimal amount of practice. The dude has handled a Rugby ball all his life so I doubt he would have a hard time taking a hand off..... Not allot of technique involved. We have all played football before and know this.... More on the QB then the ball carrier.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stine Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 OK, So one of my buddies from the old EMB has a friend on Twitter. This dude got a $25 free bet to place and he picked all NFL games against the Money Line. He had all right going into MNF. He stood a chance to win $724K had Detroit won.... Ouch. Had that been me, I would have gotten all the cash I could to hedge the bet. Guaranty Cash in my pocket. Not sure if he did that or not..... Wow what a payday that would have been. I life changing bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A million. It could be returned on you, go in the end zone and recovered(leading to a touchback and they receive the ball at the twenty negating the low downside of the negative of not getting the yard by at least having your defense pinning them at the one),…..

Being in a totally different stance…taking off at the snap to a side and timing it down, plus the way you hold your hands and arms allot snap on the ball when handed off. We had coaches talking about extensively having a practice for the RBs before all just about the handoff. That’s pro RB that have been doing it their wholelives.

I think by now he would understand what a hand off entails lol. But like I said before,give it up.I think he would have a blast doing it.If tossing 300 pound linemen 5 yards downfield doesn't say BEAST, then you are blind and he grew up trucking people before he even attempted football, but we're both wrong Stine and we need to admit it and go back inside the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
