This is a horrifically bad football team, take away the logo and it's as clear as day.

It's a process

This is a horrifically bad football team, take away the logo and it's as clear as day.

It's a lot of talent playing poorly. Execution is bad, but they have the players. The question is obviously just whether or not they can get it together soon enough to give themselves a shot at the end.

 

[Deus Irae]

Just remember, it's a zone blocking scheme.. you're not blocking players, you're blocking space...

The offensive linemen have been doing a fine job of blocking space and ignoring the players.

 

[Mack Herron]

Think it's definitely safe to say the team we see in September hopefully won't be the same one we see in December. Or at least that will be the affirmation I keep telling myself over the next couple of months.

Definitely or hopefully?

 

[WhatJustHappened]

I've liked both these guys, and obviously Tyquantumentanglement (because of faster than light teleportation)

All these injuries at the skill positions dovetail well with being able to designate them to return after 4 games out

I do as well, it just seems like Wilkerson finds the open spots better.
I could be Wrong, I don't have the 22.

It's a process

It looks like what you get when you think you can just throw anyone into any coaching role, you get a whole load of regression.

It looks nothing like a process to me, 10-7 to worse than 10-7 isn't a process it's a regression.

Definitely or hopefully?

LOL, good call. I'll go with definitely. They can't possibly continue playing this poorly for three months.

Regression is a process.

Ouche...

 

[holyredeemer]

I really hope Tavai doesn’t find himself on the week 1 roster.

 

[Ian]

I always liked Zuber ...

 

[TheRazorsEdge]

The offensive line.

That's what it is. We won't see the offense unfold and develop if the offensive line can't hold up. There is a fatal flaw somewhere on that line and I can't tell who it is. They all look meh.

I won't pretend to be some Oline savant so I'll say they all look bad.

Through 3 games only thing I can say with confidence is Jack Jones will be a player. He is always around the ball and trying to make plays.

The rest is a bit fuzzy to me.

It could also be the wine...

Got it in one

 

[Joker]

jeez...a walk-in TD on 3rd and goal...these clowns are supposedly playing for rosters spots?

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Yes!

 

[festy1986]

Rough preseason and camp.

Could be a long season.

 

[BadMoFo]

We can’t block the outside run and we can’t defend the outside run.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

That the call IMO

 

[Hammer of Thor]

I really hope Tavai doesn’t find himself on the week 1 roster.

For whatever reason Bill likes him. Which is disappointing because from what I’ve seen he’s been the real weak like among the LBs this preseason. The other guys have generally looked decent. Tavai is slow and seems to not shed his blocks well.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

I might not be 100% about that 12-5 prediction right now.
