Cause with our trash OL...he would be required to block anyway

Scouting is a big piece too. I think our scouting dept sucks more than our coaching...by a lot

Glad to see the Bears get a win...you know, cause we about to start talking draft in week 5 or 6

Agreed...but it will be interesting to see if more get hurt as a result. Will they pull Jones? Will Pugh get called up after being on team 3 days? Will we score at all? Will Miami put up a 50 burger or will they reat their guys in the 2nd half?

Barkley questionable...but really, dude, why bother?

Bingo...and not saying he'd be all pro...but the Jones conversation would be quite different too.

I think some of it is the inability to rebound stemming from week 1. I think that has lingered. I think a lot of guys thought we'd be better than we are and I think there too, is a mindset that we aren't just losing...we are getting embarrassed. In other words...guys believe they are this bad. Confidence is as low as it gets and no amount of lip service is gonna get it done...be it from coaches or players. The only way to fix it is to go out and play respectable football. But with 2 asskickings on the schedule the next two weeks, I expect the downward spiral to continue.

Not making excuses, but some of that speaks to razer thin depth. We knew the dropoff from starter to backup was significant...but it's worse. Guys not named JMS, Neal, Thomas should not be on the roster as far as offensive line. And Neal is on thin ice at that. That's the rub the fan will never truly know though. The coaches may very well be telling them what to do and they just don't, can't, or try to and are just beaten. Short of being at the practices and in the meetings...we can't be sure if it is coaching or execution. I like Daboll. His demeanor speaks football coach to me. He seems like a decent guy who can get it done. Other guys seem in over their head or just don't have what it takes. I don't get that from Daboll at all. I would like him to throw a guy under the bus just once. Tell the world...look, our protection is this and player X did not adjust, did not execute...something. Just put it out there that he is as frustrated with the execution as the fans are. Throw that clip of Neal out there and fire back...how are we supposed to do anything if this is what's going on? Clearly Neal isn't coached to throw his own guy out of the way, freeing up a blitzer. Regardless, I will stand by Daboll through a QB change at the very least.

So yeah...I took Jones numbers and projected this pace over 17 games...lol. Not all his fault as has been discussed, but damn...3.31 turnover/TD rate. 3251 pass yds 9 pass TDs 26 interceptions 735 rush yds 4 rush TDs 17 fumbles

I'd be cool if he just blocked someone on the opposing team...

#potential

More likely the team wrote the apology and told him to post it.

Still better than those behind him...which says a lot about our roster

I agree he is trash at tackle thus far, but feel he could potentially be a good guard. So before I throw him away, I'd give him that shot...

If I bet on the Dolphins, rest assured they either wouldn't cover or the Giants would pull a win outta Dabolls fat ass

I didn't pay it any attention either. Doesn't really matter...just one more instance the the Giants are a joke

Always a tough call between what the coaches may say and what the players are capable of executing...but yeah, offensive line is trash outside of Thomas, JMS, and Neal...tho Neal should get a shot at guard before he is trashed. JMS...jury still out on him.

Oh..even better

I think the fact we don't hear about him isn't necessarily a bad thing. A decent offer should be made that he will likely refuse and you let him walk.

Well ain't that sweet...all sunshine and mother trucking rainbows huh? How bout you run drills so...I don't know...you score more than 3 damned points

Okereke and McFadden are B+ guys. Thibs should pass rush every down. Cannot shed a block or set an edge. Ojulari is inconsistent at best. Will never command a chip from a RB or TE, let alone a double team. Lawrence is awesome. Williams best years are behind him. Encouraged by Davidson, but he has a ways to go. The fact we essentially play a 2-5 may play into it, but guys like Strahan/Tuck/JPP/Osi could play the run on the way to the QB. We have 1 guy, 2 on a good day, who can do that. Secondary as a hole is meh. I don't hate our safeties and our CBs are inexperienced. If they stay together, I think that would serve well for 2024...but that involves resigning McKinney who deserves an offer, but not about to reset the markwt for him.

I won't absolve him of all responsibility, but I'd put the lion's share on the players who can't tackle or get off a block.

As for the line...we have 3 viable starters in Thomas, JMS, and Neal. In the case of JMS and Neal...note I said viable and not proven. Neal needs to be a guard...like tomorrow. Literally every other player is trash. Lemieux, Peart, Ezeudu, Bredeson, Glowinski...all hot garbage.

I think Wink covers a lot of deficiencies. We cannot create pressure with 4 or even 5 guys. Blitzes are dialed up and we sometimes get lucky. His hands are tied with guys who can't set and edge and tackle like garbage. Scheme-wise, I think he does just fine given what he has in the front 7

Opening line. Wait til enough money comes in on Dolphins to cover...line may move closer to 13.5.
