I dont think you are nuts at all.
One thing RE: none of that is going to happen:  Daboll made a tough decision midgame and started calling plays, he may have make another early this season.

So you think Daboll lied about calling the plays. Sure seems like he took over. The thing about benching a high first round pick in his second season is that it may be above his pay grade.

I expected McKeathan to be more physical. He was apprehensive at times. He had pretty good hand placement but was slow to the punch on a few snaps. He did well on most double teams and that's important on that side. That was a nice game for a player who missed his entire rookie season and this was his first NFL game.

Take a good look at JMS. Holy Crap! Schoen picked a future HOF'er.

He plays high and sometimes the rusher gets hands under his pad level and he gets pushed back but that's easily corrected. He had mixed use of hands, had good placement inside but needs to learn how to shed. Really good getting out of his stance quickly and had nice feet with short quick steps. He's quick to recover. Worked well with the Guards on double teams and picked up a stunt nicely. He pulls well for a Tackle and that's an asset. He was quick to the zone block on run plays. He missed one assignment and allowed a sack on another.

I gotta say that this kid is a Starting Tackle in this league and it's a shame he's behind Thomas and Neal.

You're all gonna think I'm nuts but I would leave him at LT and move Thomas the more powerful man to RT. I don't know where that leaves Evan Neal because I see McKethan as the RG. Unless they slide him to LG and move Neal to RG. I still don't see Neal at Guard. None of that's going to happen and they will stick with Neal at RT for the remainder of the season. And unfortunately, Ezeudu will be the Swing man. Makes Peart a PS player so they can elevate another position.

I'm looking forward to Bobby Skinner's report.

If this Defense doesn't get their act together soon, the season will be over.

Ok, the game in NY metro is on Fox.

I'm watching the Saints Panthers on ESPN.

They said the Pittsburgh game is on ABC. I checked and it is on ABC.

Grey had an Offensive Line that opened holes you could drive a truck through and he was a good one cut Back to juke the second level. This summer I saw some difficulty running inside. He doesn't have the speed to be East West. Just an observation.

They should sign James Robinson to the Practice Squad and elevate him game day.

Quote from: Rambo89 on September 18, 2023, 04:34:53 PMGo look at the rushing production the games Barkley was out or he was limited last season.  They couldn't run the ball.  Most of their good numbers came in games where Barkley was healthy.

As for Grey that has yet to be determined but not sure how you come to that conclusion based off college games and pre season games but ok

Barkley only missed one game last year and that was the last game against the Eagles. I wouldn't look back to the Joe Judge era. They combine rushed for 88 yards on 15 attempts for almost 6 yards a carry.

Thursday night will be interesting

honestly i had written off the season after the utter embarrassment of the Dallas game

Now I'm very interested in a possible victory against a ranked opponent

How quickly the worm can turn on the every given Sunday NFL

The Niners may be the best team in Football right now with Dallas. They may have the better QB over Dallas. I would manage my expectations accordingly.

Quote from: MightyGiants on September 18, 2023, 12:50:16 PMIt's possible since PFF will assign some sacks to the QB.  I looked at the collective (both games) sacks assigned to the QB, and DJ was assigned 1 sack in the first two games.  So even if that sack was from yesterday's game we are one short.

I was looking at True Pass Sets stats instead of the totals.

Nevermind, I was looking at True Pass Sets.

I don't know where Bobby got this from.

It says one sack and three hurries. No hits. That's excellent. However, I thought there were 3 sacks on DJ. Did he get credited for his own sacks?
