Daboll and Jalin deny it. I hate it when reporters start $hit.

"Never told me that," Daboll told reporters. "Jalin is probably one of the closer guys I am with on this team. You should ask Jalin."

I can't guarantee DJ will turn it around but we can also acknowledge he played well and drastically better after Daboll made adjustments week 2. We also know the OL is a night and day difference so far and under Bracillo one would think that will continue.

The D scares the heck out of me under Bowen though.

The real test will be Dallas. If this group can hold them off, then that's a huge improvement and Bricello gets a lot of credit.

As Nick pointed out, the space given by the Corners was unnecessary. They can play Man and not be so deep. It also created a situation where the Edge Rushers had to set up wide at least 7 Technique on both sides and when your Nose Tackle is lined up 0 or Nose Shade it creates massive sized Gaps. There were times the LBs covered the correct Gap but then had to come around from behind to follow the RB in a well blocked A Gap. A 5 Yard cushion between the DLine and Backers and at least 7 yards between the Cover 2 Safeties and the LBs. Too much space and when their TE and RB Chip or stay in, it makes it difficult to get pressure with four Men. The way to shore this up is to spread both DTs on some of these snaps and bring the Edges in slightly for more balance and close those gaps, and bring the Corners up on man. Maybe when Bowen has more confidence in his DBs to cover, he can modify his game plan. I get Carl's point about Press Coverage, but I'd rather deal with a running QB than the RBs chewing up yards after contact. The quick game on short passes and almost 8 yards per carry killed the Defense in time of possession. I was actually impressed they weren't gassed by the 4th quarter. Watching the all 22, it underscores what we saw game day. It took the ball out of DJs hands for at least one and likely two sets of downs. Singletary had a good game and also had some nice yards after contact at the second level. I know we will see more of the same in Cleveland but I hope there are some adjustments. This is where Kafka has to spend some time while Daboll has to spend more time with the Offense. That back seven seem to have a lot of choices to make on the fly.

Neal isn't a mauler, for his size he's not a killer. He's top heavy and slow to the punch. I don't see it. But why not try. Unless he can be magically transformed into a good Tackle, he's been beaten out by a journeyman. They also will never mess with Andrew Thomas and switch sides. He needs a guru or a muse. And a bubble butt.

It's a question that can't be answered yet. Soon, but not yet.

Be careful of the highlight reels. Arch has a way to go before he can be considered a top QB. The Defense they faced was extremely weak and the RR system is a well Designed Offense. It was like TX was playing the Paramus HS football team. He missed hot reads and checkdowns and I haven't even finished watching the tape. He's got talent and he's a chip off the old grandpa.

Quote from: LennG on September 17, 2024, 07:39:54 PMAre we talking about the same Daniel Jones? 

Lethal is a tall order.

Well, then we disagree. His clock just runs a second slow.

Quote from: Jclayton92 on September 17, 2024, 06:18:15 PMWould you trade a 5th for Bryce Young just to see what he has?

A fifth is like a UFA to me. Miami should make that happen. He might flourish there. I haven't see Young in a game yet since he's been drafted.

If he's protected, he can be lethal. That along with his legs will turn this Offense around. Put pressure on him and he folds. The key is the Oline.
