I dont have an issue with not running the ball much. Running the ball yesterday would've been like beating their heads against a brick wall. I'm just glad that the realigned OL protected Stroud well. Hopefully he can regain the confidence he had last yr.
I shudder to think about what Chris Jones will do to that OL Saturday
All that needs to happen even with the poor OL play is Stroud needs to hit the play where the receiver was open down the sideline for a TD, or the play right before the half when he threw the ball to metchie's wrong shoulder. If he throws it to Metchie's inside shoulder that's a TD. Make either one of these plays and we're talking about how much improved the offense looks with it's newly constructed OL. Unfortunately this has been an issue for most of the season.
I guess I should have said, the running plays that were attempted were like you said…. Heads into brick walls! This run game has zero imagination and even less athleticism on the OLine to even get creative.
Which begs the question… if he had that long to throw why did he only throw for 130 or something like that?
All of the above?
Atleast 2 of those he caused.
He nailed Metchie on a long TD, dropped, but once up 14, typical defensive head coach somewhat turtled feeling he had Miami controlled. There was another killer drive stalling drop right in the receivers hands. The one I did not get was on drive when CJ went for a low % shot to Mixon on the sideline on third and 2, when Schultz was dead in front of him wide open for the first. I suspect the all 22 will show plenty of open guys, Schultz for sure. The kid had a 106 rating and made several good plays. I think this OL setup is meant to get our passing game going and CJ trusting the OL again before the playoffs. They will likely by ass trying to run the ball though which scares me for bad weather games
He's trying to remember that blood code. ABACABB
Cal stays cool as a cucumber.
The fumble was not on him. I hate they put that stat on him when the center hiked the ball way before CJ called for it.
CJ caused one sack. Dude is literally thinking too much now and he doesn’t have that much confidence in that oline. The Dolphins ran a simple stunt, Howard and Patterson botched that up and got CJ killed. So when the pocket is clean in his head it’s still murky AF.
Guys were getting open, CJ is simply missing them because he going to his first read versus going through his progressions. On one of the sacks, CJ was starring right an open Dalton Schlutz. For some reason he decided to bail out to the right. On the second offensive series, Woods got behind the defense, no defender in sight. CJ didn’t even look that way, he went to his first read.
I hope Bullock breaks Dunta Robinson's rookie int record this season, he's been a absolute ballhawk this season. That said Robinson had 6 INTs his rookie year, but also had 73 solo tackles, 3 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles (in 16 games).. it was the greatest year of his career. He was Bob Sanders before Bob Sanders that rookie year. After that I think his head starting inflating.
This is where im at. Spags and the Chiefs defense has never really gotten its due in this Chiefs run and with Mahomes hobbled & possibly not playing, they will likely try to use this game as the statement game for how good they've been. I fully Expect Chris Jones to be dominant in this game to the point someone might get benched.
Tim Settle has been a revelation. As far as I can tell, he was a rotation guy in Washington and Buffalo, not much of a starter. He's gotten more starts (8) in Houston than his whole 7-year career. He has a career high in tackles (26) and has tied his high for sacks in a season (5) with three games left. It's a good story when a "bench guy" steps up and excels.... I noticed the announcers gave him some love on the broadcast...
I am glad that Tim settle signed two year contract through 2025.
There was a similar play in the Packer game where Howard was asked to make an unlikely block. Trying to hammer square pegs into round holes. The players, coaches, and scheme need to be completely rethought in the offseason.
That's what happens when you hire a guy with zero ******* experience installing an offense
Was bad and made worse by Howard getting thrown on his ass off the snap
This is the entire problem with the Oline… the interior is garbage. They even mentioned that on NFL Live today. They showed three plays against the dolphins where all 3 interior lineman were standing around blocking air! It was quite comical and embarrassing at the same time.
Dare needs to step up and help with the stunt there.
They can't.
Mahomes is playing.
It's a little bit of all of the above.
Dumb, overpaid, no SWARM mentality like the DL where everybody plays at or above their contract/draft status.
I really don't care about how much they're paid or where they were drafted.
Baller posted a Tweet with DeMeco mic'd up. Several times he was yelling on offense, "Finish your block, finish your block."
Seems like it
You think he’ll actually be there in the 20s-30s? Well more than likely be picking around 25, I don’t see him still being there.
That is so sad...
Most mocks have him in the 1-22 to 1-25 range.
