Pft, hell no.. 🫣

Yeah Rushing Box Score on ESPN:

 

TEAM					CAR	YDS	AVG	TD	LONG
Antonio Gibson			2	6	3.0	0	6
Brian Robinson Jr.		4	5	1.3	0	2
						6	11	1.8	0	6

Box score says we only ran the ball 5 times all first half.  IS that real?

OMG that was a total DL team sack?

Which is worse: Geno or our defense?

If I'm reading htis box score right we had a grand total of TEN that's 1-0 yards rushing in the first half. I'd say our run game is worse than both

Speaking of Howell seeing a lot of break down vids from recent games and people seem optimistic.  I'm not saying he's Peyton or Brady, but I wonder if he could be serviceable a while like a certain other ACC QB was in Atlanta and Houstan (Matt Schaub).  And may give us the windoe to retool the core of the O and D while we figure out if he's worth the third contract.  At the moment I'd strongly be leaning toward early extension talks next year unless he craters at years end .

I would hate to lose EB, but I trust Harris to do what he thinks is in the best interest of the team generally.

His first hire might be a flub, there's no way to know, but it can't be worse than Jim Zorn or a retread Shanahan.

What I wondered, is what happens in Dallas if McCarthy Gets fired.  Do they elevate Dan Quinn?  if Quinn is available, do you grab him as a a HC and let EB run the offense?

I know, 'stealing' a dallas coach got us a Norval syndrome, but we've had a hard time with consistency since Norv (minus 2 years of Gibbs).

I wouldnt mind if they talked to Lincoln Riley. He is known as a QB guru. Would be a good thing for Howell. And I love his version of the Air Raid offensive system. He runs a RPO system with air raid route trees. Lots of crosses and one on ones in his offense. It is lethal.

Riley is one of the college guys I keep hearing, but I have not seen how he plays now as coach.  I'm worried this looks like Spurrier 2.0 Just with a lot less Gun and almost no Fun.
 

so I thought for a while that they were doing a 5-2 set up not a 4-2.   five lineman means unless they keep in 2 tight ends and maybe the back, that you have mulitple guys with single blockers. a 5-2 could easily become a 3-4 if an end or tackle drop, or a 4-3 just to mess with people.  I'm not sure we ahve the smarts at end for that, and I think allen payne are btter being disruptive in the middle of the dline than dropping into coverage.  so I would not switch to 3-4.

Better to sign Good-Jones as opposed to Bad-Jones, I always say.

This is why I remain a fan, because we as a franchise after all the crap we've dealt with can still have humor like this.  Its why I keep coming back here, despite being at arms length with the team right now.  But I think if Harris continues to make wise moves, I can stop being standoffish soon.  I'm hopeful.

I'm ready to move on from Ron, but I like what EB and O staff are doing.  Defense needs cleaned up a lot.

I think we all anticipate changes.  what if harris doesn't make the changes you think in the offeseason to the staff?

wow what concentration   HTTC!

I think its okay to move the clock, if they get a first down.

Such a smart play by Terry

wow.. Raise your hands if you thought taht was a drop tip int..... before we caught the pass?

Does pringle get open in the 2nd half.  Take him away and has anyone else but gibson caught the ball in the 2nd Qtr?

So we wasted Sam turning on his inner Cam Newton.... then 2 incompletions in a row.

Wow site messing up for me.

Then interception... Sam throw that away and take the 3 man.

That look was Romoesque.

Sam calls out his inner Camm Newton!

sorry folks my hulu lagged on me was behind that sequence.

Wow that is a gorgeous peanut punch

was he on the ground though? 

So what if we win this game, gain confidence, and then win the Super Bowl... does Ron retire?

Ha It feels good right now I can dream right?

Nope Gibbs is Coryell 

You miss my point, Coryell was on West coast too, but Walsh's system got the name.  They are different offenses though.

nice defense there

EB auditioning for the HC gig, I see. I want him to have it simply to keep this offense together, we'll hire him a lot of support to help run everything.

I agree let's keep up the pressure.

the irony of it is we’ve had WCO here forever since Zorn. Rivera interrupted it with Turner but otherwise Zorn, Jay, Shanny all ran variations of the WCO.

 

Technically gibbs was WCO too.... just not the Walsh to Reid Tree.   right?  

It wasn't just a run call I think it was a bit of misdirection.  Brought the TE in motion to the right.  Blocked straight a head then kicked the edge defender out to spring him.

I'm worried for second half, I literally pointed at screen where I thought the ball was going on that play, and it sure enough did.  If I can see it you know BB can see it.  Is howell telegraphing before the snap?
