Roman Wilson

I thought he would be more involved in the offense after having a good camp and preseason, I think he only has one catch so far. I know Arthur Smith loves his TEs, but they can't go the whole season just targeting two receivers.

 

Agree in theory.

But the rub; until the OL is fixed (some year in the future) this offense will look poopy pretty much every week. They don't move guys, they block inconsistently, the schemes are watered down.

 

I posted before his debut game I'd put his over/under in catches at 2.5. I meant for the game, but it's looking like I should have said for the season. So far he's a complete waste of a draft pick.

 

Who?

 

Roman, Scotty, and Skowronek absent. Even Meuth not there. O line?

Have to get the full range of WRs involved and then we’ll see DK open up.

So painfully obvious one wonders about the coaching.

You don’t have to blitz Pitt, just keep it to 3 rushing at us, and put the rest in pass coverage with an emphasis on DK. The receivers are getting no separation and with an old QB that’s a solid game plan.

 

I believe a running game would help a whole bunch.
People thought our running game was bad last year, but I believe, and could be wrong that we are rushing 40 yards a game average less than last year. That isn't going to help the offense one bit.

 

For me it is Scotty Miller. He had a great camp and preseason, so I was expecting him to at least see some game time.

Last week against the Pats the offense only managed 139 yds passing; so I guess there is not much to spread around when you have so little to give out.

 

Well last year the OL gave us 2.22 yards before contact per rush. So far this year they've blocked 0.6 yards before contact per rush. I think that paints a pretty good picture as to why we are having rushing woes as an offense.

 

Go back and watch the game again and try selling that rush 3 bullcrap

 

Why, they did it last year

 

So far this is the yards receiving by our wideouts.
Metcalf - 135
Austin - 126
Skowronek - 22
Wilson - 7

 

Point is defenses can do prevent and keep the WR covered. Of course they’ll rush from time to time but teams can afford to keep wr covered without having to take from the pass coverage and still have success rushing. If they dare to add more to the blitz at the risk of coverage a QB like ARod will make you pay even if he has to do it quickly.

Go back n watch the Seattle game slug.

 

The point is you made up some bullcrap and tried spreading it as factual

 

Didn’t make anything up, it’s my opinion and that is still allowed, at least for now, in this country. But I’m not going to get into hissy fit fight that you and the usual subjects like to do on this board. Moving on…

 

Better get with program, should be making plays. Arthur Smith
And O line are hurting this team.

 

At least one of these statements is true.

 

Nah, Van Jefferson got quite a bit of targets.

 

Having an opinion and sharing that opinion is perfectly legal. However, you didn’t state an opinion. You made a statement that is factually incorrect. Now that’s allowed as well. However, so is someone making a rebuttal to your factually inaccurate statement.

 

Please don't use the offense line in this, they haven't been good in a long time, but when people said this for our other RBs it was said because he had poor vision, and no burst. While many disliked Najee he was 10th in the league with Over 800 yards after 1st contact......Anyway he isn't here so .....Whatever is causing it, it needs to change.

 

Have You looked at what our RBs are running for???

 

I don’t believe it’s factually incorrect. I’m simply stating what I believe the Seattle game showed us. Teams don’t have to load the box and rush more than a basic 3/4 front. They don’t have to pull from their secondary coverage. That’s contributing to no separation with the receivers.

JMO

 

Worse than that, try 67

 

Dang, I didn't know it was that bad.

 

Pretty bad.
Warren - 43 carries 132 yards
Gainwell 16 carries 55 yards
Rodgers 6 carries 3 yards
Johnson 2 carries negative 1 yard

 

But we were told Najee was the problem
