anyone has stats on pressures and sacks by down and distance? Curious to see if the first half was more long situations where maybe Howell was looking at longer routes vs the underneath. Seem to recall a few where he missed the under target and went with the more downfield when he got it out so wondering if he’s adjusted that mentality as well

Could also be howell starting to learn more and more. He’s not holding the ball as long, keeping eyes downfield, throwing away. He’s still under pressure constantly. I think it’s a combination of Howell learning and bienemy adjusting slightly. Oline adjustment should have been done a long time ago though

1 thing as mentioned I want to see in the last weeks of the season is Sam get more comfortable recognizing defense and changing out of plays. Think that’ll be the key for him moving forward in order to get to the next level.

I feel if you give him a semi decent oline- he looks way better than he already does. His composure and delivery with a historically bad oline is and constant pressure is crazy. With that I give him to 5 potential. boneheaded plays but he has also shown the ability on next play rather than harping on mistakes which he’s shown numerous times this year. Really think we will regret moving on to a different qb next year

100%- between him, Dotson and Thomas - they are killing drives. At least the latter 2 are making other plays. happy with Pringle today though. Adjusted on pressures and came up huge multiple times

when your up high and shoved at your shoulders, it’s a bit harder to pull that in especially as the ball is getting there and pushing your positioning at the very last second. That’s called majority of the time. but agree he hasn’t been making plays this year like he has in the past but I don’t put that ball today on him. That was a missed call all day and a play I don’t think many others make in that same situation given the timing/location of the shove and where the ball was at the time. Bang bang play but it was definitely early

Same with the mclaurin drop at the 1- db shoved up high prior to ball- easy pi noncall

Catchable if he’s not mugged- that’s why it didn’t seem catchable

Yet another missed PI 🙄

That’s 3 pi’s missed. Dotson arm grab, terry by the goal line and now offensive on the Forbes potential pick (all different drives)

Yeah that’s made zero sense to me. I liked the shanahans- they called it and exposed Dan for what he was. People associated them together when they were completely separate. Dan had all the power

Agreed - completely sucks but something is better than nothing. You have to know when to cut bait and this shows that rather then letting them both walk which is what we saw with middling teams under snyder

Re: trent williams (plus others) he didn’t want to be here. I don’t understand why people have such a hard time with this. You get assets when you can and you know you aren’t going to resign or they’re going to walk. Who gives a **** what they do moving forward. Different situation and they weren’t going to be here anyway. something is better than nothing. Just because they are currently on our roster doesn’t mean they are guaranteed ours for their careers. They have choices and options

We’ll also have people who understood that a 4th is better than nothing just like people keep harping on trading champ when he didn’t want to be here. He wasn’t resigning and we weren’t going to overpay another dl for partial production

So tell me how you would have played it out on a lost season when both players are going to command top money? 1. Extend both before season ends to max deals? (Highly unlikely and a huge mistake given other needs and money already dedicated to the line) 2. Get assets and have the option to sign at season end 3. Let them stay and then walk without anything in return
