Let's talk Trust

[Blazenhawks]

Hey Y'all it's been a few year since I've been here. I was pretty active before covid but I'm back, I want to talk about trust with in this team as a whole. Do we really have the trust that this team can go and win when the game get hard like the old teams could almost 13 years ago. We are at week 13 now and at this point we for sure know what this team is and what it isn't. below are my thoughts on this team.

what I trust -
Everyone playing hard and no matter what happens
The defense line
Mike D
John S
Special teams

What I don't fully trust still-
Oline (after that Vikings game it was shown they can't handle blitz)
Sam Darnold (can he not trun the ball over and get a game winning drive)
this running game (which makes up 60% of our offence)
DB's
WR's (not named JSN)

What I will never and can never trust
Sam Bradford

Give me your thoughts because I don't fully trust this team vs the pass rush and to go down for a GW drive.

Welcome back.

I don’t trust the right guard spot. Bradford needs to do something else with his time.
If the right guard spot sinks this team, that will be a major disappointment

 

[Appyhawk]

I trust that the Seahawks could be the primary cause for a heart attack!

 

[AROS]

I trust that the Seahawks could be the primary cause for a heart attack!

Which is why I stopped watching them live!

 

[Blazenhawks]

Both of those are valid reasons lol.

 

[CouchLogic]

What I will never and can never trust
Sam Bradford

Same, LA scum.

 

[oldhawkfan]

At least Sam Bradford is retired and we don't need to worry about him at QB.

 

[AROS]

Wait, isn't our QB Matthew Darnold? Sam Stafford plays for LA, right? Who's on first...

 

[Hawknight]

I may be one of the few, but even though I’ve been head over heels about our quarterback’s performance overall, the Rams game gave me reason to pause and question whether Darnold can handle the pressure. I want to believe the four interceptions were a fluke, but there are moments when I wonder whether he truly has what it takes to carry us through the playoffs. I hope at the end of the season he put's my concerns at ease.

 

[Blazenhawks]

My bad folks had Sam on the mind meant Anthony Bradford but maybe Sam can block better

 

[Ozzy]

I completely trust Macdonald and the defense.

I trust Darnold and the skill position guys more than most. Darnold needs to prove people wrong for sure but I don't think he's the liability people think he is.

I don't trust the line at all yet. Not saying they can't play really well and hopefully sundell to right guard rights the ship but I'm still worried about it.

 

[MORGULON]

I like the direction of this team and am impressed with the defense.

But have they had THE signature win yet? They lost the showdown with LA . I want to see them do this

What (or Who) I trust :

- JSN

- Darnold learning from his mistakes (it's a slightly-slow process but he's been showing plenty of signs this season of correcting them)

- Our Running attack getting better and better

- Our Defense

- Our KICKER (which shows just how far he's come)


What (or Who) I don't trust :

- Bradford

- Kubiak (in terms of making adjustments on the fly when things aren't working)

He has a shot in several weeks to demonstrate it.

If he can play well and beat the Rams, it will go a long way toward helping to give him confidence which would serve him well in the playoffs (knowing he CAN beat this team).

 

[Followthelegion]

I don’t trust the offense to go win a massive game with the last drive when we are down. Defense for the most part I have full faith in until he gets obvious they are suffering with fatigue or in prevent mode which is our default with a lead.

That loss is part of the story. Loss on the last play, game two is the redemption arc. Same with the SC game, all apart of the bigger picture.

Still not as good as Ruskell Wilkens

 

[Appyhawk]

Which is why I stopped watching them live!

I go nuts if I can't watch them. And I go nuts watching them. Nuts one way or nuts the other way. But I don't use such gentle verbiage. LOL

 

[12thManInTheBox]

I trust Mike Macdonald. We crushed it with his hire. We are going to be back to back double digit win seasons to start his tenure and I would argue we are AHEAD of schedule.

I don’t think anyone legitimately at the beginning of the year could say “we are a Super Bowl contender”.

Sure - we need a RG, we need some help at LB and to shore up some depth… but my god - we are one of the youngest rosters in the NFL with one of the BEST cap situations in the league. This team is poised for greatness under MM and this is the only the START!
