    Current state of our Wide Receivers

    I would trade anybody for the right amount of draft picks in return, but having offensive weapons is extremely important in today's NFL and we'd be selling low. I'm more interested in seeing whether we can also work Eskridge in to give Geno even more quick options. PFF grades can be fun purely...

    DK on penalties: 'Not going to change who I am'

    That's literally what the play is. Notice how DK was behind the player, but circled around to the front where he puts hands on his chest and then shoves him. That's completely legal - if the whistle hadn't been blown. It looks bad because the commentators showed a replay in isolation...

    DK on penalties: 'Not going to change who I am'

    DK is having a good year so far, as is the entire offense given the early challenges they have faced. He's averaging 11 yards per target, Geno has a 111 QB rating throwing him the ball, and he only has one official drop thus far. If you want to see what most passing games look like without an...

    DK on penalties: 'Not going to change who I am'

    I simply couldn't disagree with the consensus here more. Metcalf is averaging three penalties per season. How many of you were calling for Kam to get benched when he had 12 personal foul penalties? This is a fanbase who should appreciate players who want to hit people, and the only issue I...

    Thoughts about our OLine ?

    Health continues to be a problem for the OL this week based on the Wednesday injury report. Of course Abe Lucas is also still on the IR indefinitely.

    Some thoughts on the game

    I don't disagree, and some of the difficulty was also Geno struggling to get the ball out as quickly as you'd like with so many OL injuries. My point is mostly that posters tend to conflate poor execution with poor ability. When players are toughing it out through injury that's an asterisk...

    Some thoughts on the game

    Haynes and Curhan were both fighting through injury because they basically had to. The result was poor, but criticizing them for it is misguided. Bradford had a good game upon review with a few blown protections but above average play on average.

    DK

    Posters can feel however they want about DK, but the basic facts about that play are being ludicrously misrepresented in this thread. DK's play was 100% legal if the play was still going on, which he thought it was. He was 40 yards away from the whistle and missed it. The result is...

    Some thoughts on the game

    We still had three OL spots without the pre-season starter and it caught up to us against a Bengals front that was abusing the right side of our line. It's easy to second guess with hindsight, but it seems obvious that we should have run the ball more to keep the Bengals pass rush honest...

    JSN. Fixed. I think it might be just this easy.

    I don't agree that JSN is being misused or that you can judge a receiver's contribution based on targets or yards. He has been getting open and our offense has been exceeding expectations. If Geno has been going elsewhere that's fine, particularly given that Jaxon is playing with a broken...

    Hawk's Injury Rate Is 3x's their opponent's rate.

    The Hawks have not been hiding any injuries. What you're mentioning is that we've had a lot of players show up on the official injury report during these last few weeks, and listing them on that report is the opposite of hiding them. Here's how it works if you are curious about the process...

    It'll never be this good again

    Part of the fun in the NFL is that we have such incomplete information as fans that there's an enormous grey area for speculation. How would both QBs have looked last night if they swapped teams? I do think sacks are mostly a QB stat, but our backup OL was holding up better than their backup...

    Nice writeup about Spoon - some interesting PC comments

    The pass rush is a big reason, but the comparative stats after three games are highly volatile and affected by who we played in those three games; accurate veteran QBs that can pick you apart if given the time. Note that our run defense is top 3 right now and that's related. Our next six...

    The qb3 situation

    Each team has their own situation going on. I'm not opposed to a developmental QB with long-term upside if we like the prospect. However, if you break down those teams you've listed I don't think many of them have actually been helped in 2023 so far by carrying a higher quantity of QBs...

    The qb3 situation

    If we had a third QB, would you want them to be on our gameday roster for MNF? Both Geno and Drew are available and have been consistently available during their time here. Meanwhile, we have injuries at a ton of other positions and nearly ran out of OL on Sunday when Ben Brown looked shaken...

    Zach Charbonnet

    The data historically supports the argument that Walker is higher variance/higher average while Charbonnet is lower variance/lower average. On Sunday Walker was stellar with 156 yards on 21 total touches for 7.4 yards per touch and a 10.47 yard standard deviation. Charbonnet had a lower...

    Zach Charbonnet

    There is an interesting discussion to be had here about RB usage, because thus far we haven't really been using Charbs as either a 1-2 punch or as the thunder to Walker's lightning. Modern NFL theory on RB rotation is that you try to give guys entire drives and that's what we've been doing...

    JSN

    JSN is still contributing on plays where he doesn't get the ball. If he gets wide open on a route then the defense has to react to that. We do have a lot of weapons right now and that's why you see DK getting open for catches instead of everything always being contested in his direction...

    You're obviously welcome to a different interpretation too. Here's the link if anybody wants to form their own opinion. 18:00 mark is Lynch discussing Wilson.

    ADB gets real (KJ podcast)

    These really are good and remove the need for a 30 for 30 IMO. The "someone" is definitely Russ, but there is an interesting discussion surrounding the decision of the coaching staff to coddle the franchise QB at the expense of team chemistry. We did win a lot of games with Russ over that...
