quick thoughts on the texicans
1) 10 points in the 1st half. this may be an odd complaint but the offense just seemed schizophrenic. bombs downfield were hitting but nothing else was. the touches for taylor in the 1st half was inexcusable. he is too much of a weapon to be used so little.
2) god damn it was good to see ty back. and see him produce. reich needs to use him more. he has always sat him too many snaps. only pittman should out snap ty 3) great route and catch by campbell. now just move on. the guy just isn't it. 4) pittman didn't do too much today but that kid is good. just a dog out there. blocking to the whistle and making key catches. i think he has a bright future. 5) bro. fisher is garbage. when people talk about playing nelson at lt i usually just tell them to shut up. well now i'm listening because fisher is garbage. run blocking he is fine. fuck dude. he was bad. 6) pryor has been a godsend at rt. so much better than davenport. hopefully smith is finally back this week so neither has to play. 7) so rhodes is garbage again. great in run support but he can be thrown on all day. 8) willis and blackmon were playing noticeably faster today. great to see. 9) leonard is relying on instincts and making plays. poor dude looks slow as fuck out there. his ankle has to be killing him. props to him for suiting up but he is struggling. 10) pretty much zero edge pressure. there is no hope for these guys but maybe paye. paye looks like he has something to work with but he is no freeney as a rookie. and i know that isn't expected but he just isn't close to that. 11) lewis is serviceable and will make the occasional play but he won't get a 2nd deal. this defense can't rush the passer. no coach can be successful with that. banogu sucks. turay isn't good and lewis is a guy. ballard fucked this team with these picks. 12) this defense sucks. as a whole. they make shit qb's look great. always. its players and coaches. the whole unit needs overhauled. 13) okereke needs to sit down. he has been terrible. 14) oh yeah wentz. he is what he is. this is pretty much his ceiling. takes dumb sacks. will probably fumble but has the arm talent to do really good things. in other words. we need a new qb but can win games with wentz

1. Is really concerning to me. I mean, it happens once and you could chalk it up to a stupid mistake or a wonky game situation. But repeatedly not giving your best player on offense the ball when all he does is hit home runs when you do is a MAJOR red flag. Just inexcusable. Taylor should have gotten the ball on at least half of the first 20 plays. If he had, it might have been a blowout at the half instead of a 7 point game.
2. Agreed. So damn good to see 13 back out there. 3. Campbell is just not good at football and injury prone to boot. He’s big and fast and strong but he just can’t play. Move on. 5. I’m not worried about Fisher. He’s not been good so far but he’s been a pro bowler in the league and he didn’t just forget how to play. Give him time. 6. The fact that the announcers never mention the right tackle means Pryor is doing just fine. 9. Darius is amazing. Best player we have except maybe Buckner. It’s hard to believe some people were saying he’s not a leader. *cough cough* 10. Lack of a pass rush, combined with Eberflus’s high school coverages, will limit how far this team can go. 12. See #10. 14. I don’t think Wentz has hit his ceiling yet. His issue will always be a tendency to hold the ball to long and generally poor pocket awareness. How much Reich can cure him of that will determine how good he can be. Last edited by Hoopsdoc; 10-17-2021 at 10:03 PM.

Agree. Leonard just seems too goofy and playful and thats not even getting into the vaccine stuff. Feels like buckner should be the guy to step up and take the leadership reigns. I seems to remember walker was a locker room leader but could be wrong.

Staggering, and unforgivable, that JT hasn't carried the ball more than 17 times (vs Seahags) in a game this season.

Is it the vaccine stuff? Whatever it is, it’s dumb. Regardless of what Omaha thinks from his couch, the team considers him one of their leaders.

My thoughts:
Passing offense: this was good. I'm not as skeptical about Wentz as Omaha. I think he has been consistently getting better the more time he spends with this team. The foot thing and loss of pre-season for him was a real hurdle. I only expect him to keep getting better. I agree TY is off the field too much. Reich may be convinced that taller receivers are the better option but Hilton's quickness and route running prove that to be false. Running offense: continues to be great, but again, wtf Reich? Not enough run attempts in the first half, and most went to Hines? I like Hines but he is a situational back, and right now Mack is a bit hesitant, he's not seeing the blocks, he's going to need more reps for that to get better but that's no reason to take snaps away from Taylor. Use Mack for clean up duty until he's got his timing back. Passing defense: just awful. Without consistent pass rush, this zone gets eaten up all day long. The only good thing is that the "bend don't break" approach works well enough against inexperienced QBs like Mills. In the red zone where the field, and defensive zone, compresses, its harder to throw the ball. But this defense is still banged up badly, and needs at least 1 new starter-level CB. And pass rushers. I'd like to see Turay and Paye get on the field at the same time, but neither have stayed healthy long enough for that to happen, not much anyway. I'm hoping Odeyingbo is actually good. Rushing defense: Still isn't good enough but it's better than it was in the first 2 weeks. I think letting Autry and Walker go was a mistake. But that in and of itself shouldn't have been a difference maker. The combo of Buckner and Stewart in the middle should be harder to run against than it is. But I guess more the issue is setting the edge on outside runs, this fails too often. I think I may agree with Omaha about Leonard as a leader. He's a playmaker but too emotional and immature to be a leader. Special teams: no particular issues, at least that guy made his kicks last night. If we could have made kicks we beat the Ravens and that really cost us.
