  • They need to take those new helmets and burn them. Those things are cursed. 

    I literally can't think about anything else other than Chubb. As soon as I seen it I thought about that injury he had in college. Just fucking terrible!!

  • Do we ring up Hunt's phone?

    I don't know. Is he the best guy available? What happened to that third string back we had a year or two ago? He looked pretty solid. 

  • I love how dramatic fans on social media are being saying season is done if Chubb is done for the season(Which 99 percent chance he is). Hunt is out there, hell even somehow get Taylor if we can. Sucks for Chubb, but with that kind of thinking, might as well not watch us the rest of the season.

    I have a hard time believing that anyone in the front office thinks Ford can be the lead back. Those self proclaimed smart dudes are going to have to earn their money and soon.

    Why, does he know of a Decent QB?

  • Do any of the old timey historians here know if there's more leg injuries on average in today's NFL than in the old days when they could hit differently?

    I have a hard time believing players lead with their heads like Fitzpatrick did before facemasks.

    Plus there probably is a lot more muscle tears because of how muscular players are now, almost to a fault. 

  • I’d say simplify the offense but I think some of these “routine” throws aren’t where they need to be.  
     

    Say a prayer for Nick Chubb. 

  • @dutch-oven said:

    He was excellent in Houston. There is no denying that.

    He's looked like an absolute shell of that here. I gave him leeway at the end of last season, but this can't go on forever. He looks so damn robotic. Nothing looks natural with him with the Browns. 

    If you watched the Dolphins Patriots game the difference between Watson and Tua is night and day . Tua BOOM, the ball is out . Desean is indecisive, and his accuracy is suckfull. Without Chubb, we're screwed.

    That isn't always on the qb. The dolphins run a ton of rpo and quick passes so it's going to come out faster. The dolphins have a west coast style passing offense.

    Stefanski does not call very many of those types of passes. It's 5 step drops play action with deep drops. He's going to need to adapt his game plan without chubb. We shall see if he can

    johnson. I think he is still with the jags

  • @flugel said:

    That's the guy I wanted to see here - not the QB Stefanski is turning him into.

    I'm not sure Stefanski has any experience running an offense that Watson excelled in, though did he?

    Well if Kevin doesn't figure it out, someone else will be here next year attempting to.

    He's ONLY coached in Minnesota's Offense prior to coming here. Even though he might have been there a while - it probably wasn't a wealth of different systems.  He's limited and it's showing in his struggles tonight.  He was a defensive player in college.  This passing game seems more difficult than it needs to be.  There's more talent in it than he's capable of extracting.  In fact, I brought up Njoku when Tia was bringing up he wanted to see Akins instead of Bryant.  

    I'm not saying fire the HC - I'm saying BE the Head Coach and empower Alex Van Pelt.  We scored 48 points the night Stefanski was home watching the Browns with COVID and Hot Chocolate.

    Ahhh, thanks! A quick bit of a belly roll laugh out loud relieved a lot of stress.

    I actually meant more like the 70s/80s than the pre facemask era.

    No not duke. I like him though. Didn't we have a third stringer last season that busted off a number of impressive runs?

    Well there was a ton of Astroturf then, and that shit absolutely destroyed players. 

  •  Coaches don't want to run inside with Ford, because they don't trust his hands or vision.  Immediately negates our best advantage with Chubb out. 

     Dawand winning a couple, losing a big few. Wills also more of the same against HighSmith.  The empty sets are difficult to keep up with when the Steelers are using their 5 under,  flashing the willingness to invert their safeties and you can't pass pro long enough to drive the ball down field to attack the latter. 

    Interesting zone rotations from PIT. Those looks are throwing off the post snap sight adjusts. I like using Moore off the line, but unless the routes are positive breaks, you're struggling to get him going on the perimeter.  Have to get him more to a classic 'Z'. 

    I'll have to see what the defensive bust was when the film is out tomorrow night, maybe Wednesday morning.  Delpit had the blown coverage on the first 3rd down conversion, I hope it wasn't him. 

    Bryant has to be the #3 out there, Adkins needs to be on the field. Especially with the connection he has from his time in HOU with those post snap rotations I mentioned. 

    Just sloppy football from both sides, difficult to watch.  Then you toss in the injury to Nick from an emotional perspective and just... dear God.  An absolute gut punch.

    Just at first glance i think jok got sucked up on the playaction and didn't get depth and there was a safety sucked way up as well but not sure which one it was
