So Brady never struggled against the Giants defense or any other top notches defenses? I guess Manning never struggled in the playoffs in the beginning huh? When Coach Payton got suspended for a year, I guess you didn’t see how bad Breezy struggled?
How many good games did S2roud have in 2024?
How many good games did Green, Mason and Scruggs have?
I've taken that into consideration. I expected better play from S2roud, especially when Mixon was carrying his load.
I've been watching NFL highlights, and came across the 2nd Indy game. Green was absolutely worked throughout the entire game and several plays Scruggs didn't pick up either DT on a stunt, he just stared at them waltzing by him.
Would have expected with all your big dog, big bank roll, offensive line starters returning healthy. They could have protected S2roud better and created open lanes for Mixon, instead he had to make his own.
of course. There was a lot of underperformers on offense.
Sometimes it is only 1-2 games, but the point is CJ saw pressure like that literally all season. And only a few QBs have seen it like that all season early in their careers. Stafford is 1 of those guys. Favre is another. Pressure like that is why Aaron Rodgers could never get past the 49ers in the NFCCG. He just looked like a fish out of water every time he played them. Pressure like that is why Manning had so many problems with Belichick and NE early in his career.
Yeah, but CJ gets a pass.
Goose egg
Where did I say I want to get rid of CJ? What I said are results matter and CJ was part of the problem. He would tell you that himself. Good thing is how next yrs offense performs will be mostly on CJ because Caley is going to give him full control of the offense. We'll see how things turnout.
The 1st Colts game.
CJ’s the only reason we stood a chance to win or did win many of those games sir. Sub him out with Davis Mills and we’re definitely missing the playoffs.
And guess what CJ did late in that game? Dropped a dime to Nico on the sideline to seal it…b/c his protection was solid.
New OC calling plays for the 1st time and learning his players
Since CJ is going to be given the keys to the offense what percentage would you say would be on him. It seems like you're going out of your way to find excuses for CJ if he doesn't succeed.
Yes he did and what gives me hope is he didn't really play that well that game. But he came up clutch when it counted the most. That's what winners do, they dont care about stats, they care about making plays when it comes to winning time. I'm hoping CJ can regain that magic. After seeing him in the playoffs I expect him too and will be disappointed if he doesn't.
The Baltimore game he was pretty bad. Missed a lot of open receivers and reads in that game.
Agreed and I'm sure you will have the excuses lined up if things dont go well. Kinda like you had them lined up for the Pervert.
The same way you gave Davis freaking Mills a pass. And Mr. Jump offside at the most important time of the game Tunsil.
i choose not to get too excited about our new OC because I fear a letdown. I won't expect the best but I will hope for the best.
I never gave Mills a pass, I said he never stood a chance to be successful playing QB with Lovie/Pep and those bad teams. I actually was disappointed in Mills regression. (There's that word again)
None of the Qb's considered the 5-7 ranked n the NFL would have been considered that good with the our Texans last season. That said, I don't think CJ was ready to reach that level of success with any team last season! Let's see how things come together next season.
So no one's seen that kind of pressure as consistently as S2roud. If he's not broke he's the first to have seen it that consistently & survived.
That defense was the only reason we stood a chance. Kris Boyd could have scored a single TD in the second half of 7 games.
Wouldn't it be nice to see him have a lot less pressure? See him flourish and be the real CJ?
Think you’re misremembering things. That defense didn’t really start to come together and start playing SB caliber until late in the season.
As consistently for a whole season as bad as ours last year? Can’t recall but a few. Andrew Luck comes to mind…& well, we know what eventually happened to him.
Everyone was bad that game. Think that was our 3rd game in like 10 days or something.
It was also the Ravens 3rd game in 11 days. They were just better prepared. And the Ravens were a better team. And (another and?) I don't think the team had time to get over the Tank injury.
I'm just happy he stayed home and is learning the new offense instead of traveling the world this offseason.
After his wildly successful rookie season, it would have been in his mind that this NFL thing is easy. Then he comes back to earth with a thud in his sophomore season so it is encouraging to see that he seems have realized he has some work to do!
You wouldn't think this post is true if you read Mr. Tex posts.
Of course it would be better had he not seen that kind of pressure. But we need a guy who's clutch, more times than not & he has to be mentally tough more times than not. Cj wasn't last year. That's all I'm saying. He's developing. Hopefully he uses it to get better.
You're probably right... must have been the 27 points per game our offense was scoring that kept us competitive.
You do know every comment we made is easy to find on here correct? Nevermind you don’t do the research thingy around here.
I mean....I know u were likely being sarcastic……but we did actually avg 26 PPG game the 1st 7 games of the season so……
He did put in work throughout the offseason. No one thought that offensive line was going to be that bad. And why did Slowik go away from what was working in the previous season?
B/c it’s supposition and innuendo being passed off as fact like a lot of the nonsense you post.
Perhaps it was the same playbook but new pages!
But not 27. So nice try.
Yup b/c that 1 pt was the difference in the losses to Minny and GB..which were the only 2 losses we had in those 1st 7..1 of which wouldn’t have been a loss if the defense holds in that final drive. The other loss, the defense got their doors blown off…so scoring 27 wouldn’t have mattered anyway.
I dont pass anything off as fact unless it's a fact. Example: CJ was part of the problem last yr. The rest is just opinions Example: Brady's the GOAT and the Texans would be lucky to have CJ turnout anywhere nearly as good as Brady.
He was as much part of the problem as Tunsil’s false starts ….
I know he's put in the work this off-season, would you say he put in the same amount of work last off-season? I expect a big yr next yr from CJ.
