Yeah, I pretty much agree with the article
@Ian.
My thoughts:
a.) The hand-off fumble recovery on 3rd down on our opening series was an absolute killer, IMO. Convert a first down there...we bleed at least 2 more minutes off the clock.
b.) Allowing that Allen-->Davis TD pass was stupid ****... BTW, I finally saw that Davis was grabbed before he was released and able to reverse directions and get open. Mack Wilson had to take down Allen in that situation.
c.) The Folk FG that hit the cross bar...hit that and we are only down 17-10 then 24-10 after the Bills' long drive with 4 minutes left in the 4th...would have changed the game, IMO.
d.) The offensive line needs to be a lot better....like the article above says. We need Trent Brown to not be sick...Cole Strange to stop making strange errors at critical times (he has been making good plays too, but big whiffs here and there)...Dave Andrews to be healthy (great to see him out there last night), Onwenu is the only constant...and right tackle...we are screwed there...unless Wynn heals up & plays better or Cannon comes back or Cajuste finally fulfills his promise...McDermott did his best yesterday, but he was on the practice squad for a reason. Unsure what the hell we will do here in the off-season.... I am not writing off Mac until I see him consistently suck with good protection up front.....the dude doesn't have a clean pocket to throw from which is why Matty P is running the quick stuff.....
Brown is on a 2 year deal ending in the 2023-2024 season. We need depth here.
Strange is on a 5 year rookie deal (pretty sure we pick up his option if we did so for Wynn). He will be on the line for the next 4 seasons.
Andrews is on a 4 year deal ending in the 2024-2025 season. I am OK with Frentez backing him up and we don't need to worry about a center for 1 more season at least. Plus we have Russey too....
Onwenu will be in the final year of his rookie deal in 2023-2024 (drafted in 2020). We need depth here.
RT: Cannon is too old. Wynn is a goner unless he is willing to return for peanuts AND play RT. Cajuste is in the final year of his rookie deal...dunno if we resign him.
Other than the guys above...we have McDermott a PSer, Stueber who is on the NFI list, and Bill Murray...a DT converted to an OL-man...he was active last night, but no snaps.
e.) The secondary coverages on Diggs.....terrible. I read that we tried zone, doubling, and some man coverage with J. Jones.....there were some uncalled push offs as well...not sure what's going on there.
