Stadium-Armory Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I missed the entire game, what is the executive? Here's what I gathered from reading the thread: Robert Davis makes the team on another bomb from Haskins. Offensive line looks like a weakness. Harmon was open on that bull**** offensive pass interference call. Adrian Petersen had a decent night. Did we play our starters on the O and D lines to start the game?

If they don't think he can slide protections, etc when needed, i am guessing he won't start. There's no way the Johnson mastered all the protections last year in 2 weeks. They tailored the offense and simplified things for him. They need to spend the next 3 weeks figuring out how to do that for Haskins. And give him a set of plays, put him in hurry up, use a lot of motion and switches, be creative, run the ball (just not ALWAYS on first down) and figure out how to make it work. Honestly, they should have done that from the day after he was drafted. I know the scenario was different, but when the 'Skins took RGIII i the 2012 draft, Mike Shanahan immediately said that when you spend that much on a QB, they are going to start right away, and it was his job to get him ready to start. So they created a modified version of their offense for Griffin, worked with him, and got him ready to play. There's nothing I have ever seen which leads me to believe this coaching staff would want to do that, or even be capable of doing it for any player. There are ways to make the offense easier. It might not be fancy, but it can be effective. And as he learns, he gets to do more and more and more he gets to do. It's the coaching staff's job to get the best player ready to play. They can't win anything with Case. It's just not going to work. Colt is always hurt. That leaves Dwayne. The sooner they recognize that and start really committing to him and tailoring an offense to him and getting him comfortable, the better. I get that the deck is stacked against him with the OL issues. But again, Bill Walsh created the WCO in Cincinnati BECAUSE he had a crappy OL. So there are ways to overcome these things and be productive if you want to, and the players have the talent and aptitude. And I think Dwaye has both. 2 minutes ago, Stadium-Armory said: I missed the entire game, what is the executive?

Harmon was open on that bull**** offensive pass interference call. Adrian Petersen had a decent night. Did we play our starters on the O and D lines to start the game? Yeah, Case looked "meh." Dwayne started out ok, finished more slowly. AP had like 3 carries, 2 were good, one got stuffed. Perine looks like he is wearing cement shoes. ST is going to be a problem. The refs really stunk all night for both sides, but the majority of the real head scratchers were against the 'Skins. McLaurin didn't play. That was odd. Quinn didn't play. He is hurt. Richardons didn't play. He is hurt. In theory, that's your starting 3 WRs. So ... make of that what you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadium-Armory Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I remember multiple times in our history when the HC would tailor the offense to maximize the talent, especially the QB. That was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayouBrave86 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Preseason doesn’t really mean **** but just looking at the box score...where are our arguably top Rb and took WR? Anyone else find it ridiculous Guice and McLaurin aren’t on the stat sheet? I guess Guice isn’t officially cleared yet but still...what a joke. Where is McLaurin after hearing he is our best receiver in camp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 The PI call on Harmon was an indenfensibly terrible call. And unfortunately it overshadowed what was actually a very impressive adjustment and play on an underthrow, which is a shame. Harmon is one of the few positives on offense that I took away from the game. I could be wrong, but I've got a good feeling about him. He has a combination of toughness and real talent that none of our other WRs have. I think there might be something special there with him. I think he's got some JuJu Smith-Schuster in him.

I can understand Guice but how has McLaurin not played yet? And its not like they are veterans. Neither one has yet to play a regular season down. It’s not like we are the Patriots.

That was cool. I remember this guy Joe Gibbs who won SBs with 3 very different QBs and a myriad of different RBs. The offense changed week by week... I think he had some success, that guy. Just a little. Well, I guess enough to be in the HOF and wear 3 SB rings. I guess that's good enough... I used this quote before. The best complement I think one coach has ever paid another was Bum Phillips of Don Shula: "Don Shula can take his'n and beat your'n," Bum Phillips, then the Houston Oilers coach, once said in his Texas twang. "Or he can take your'n and beat his'n. Best quote ever. 3 minutes ago, stevemcqueen1 said: The PI call on Harmon was an indenfensibly terrible call.

It was honestly one of the worst calls I've ever seen, and that's not just rose color glasses. It was as bad as the call in the NFC Championship game last year. THAT bad. Just not quite as meaningful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to go with Case, because his job is on the line and he feels Case would be better than Dwayne. In reality, that's not the case but Jay isn't going to spend the time to do that. Jay knows he's a on a very short leash. Dwayne will get the chance, after we start out 1-4 or 0-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay knows he's a on a very short leash. Dwayne will get the chance, after we start out 1-4 or 0-5. No, I'm saying the WCO, which is the basis of Jay's offense (Tracing the tree, it's Walsh to Holmgren (Walsh's QB coach in SF, then OC) to Jon Gruden (With Holmgren in GB) to Jay Gruden) was created out of a necessity because the OL in Cincy, where Walsh was an OC, was horrendous. The foundation of the offense Jay runs was based on the concept of quick throws to protect the QB from a porous OL. So what I'm saying is the coaching staff SHOULD get Haskins ready to go, because going with Case is a losing proposition anyway. Going with Case is the "safe" choice, but honestly I think it's also the one that seals the deal on Jay. They won't win with Case. So, why choose the safe option and lose anyway? You choose the better option then you figure out how to protect him and make him productive. If you can't do that, then you're shouldn't be coaching in the NFL anyway.

Skinarchy Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 So just finished the recorded game. very impressed with Haskins! All I can really ask for is flashes, and he flashed. Taking into account he’s a 1 year collage player, I find it incredible he can come in and flash anything good. A few throws where great. I also see a smart player, dumping the ball off to avoid sacks, hell, there are qbs that don’t do that after 3 seasons. Think it’s a safe bet the D is going to be great. The bad coaching, sorry but it’s been a cluster Mess.. special teams, wth? This coaching staff is a bunch of wimps, the way they call games, o and d ... the o line, nuff said, zero run blocking At this point, I say Start Haskins I don’t see us winning 8 games, so out with the old in with the new Haskins Mclrn’ Harmon All start Make sure Guice gets allot of touches Basically play the younger players, trade blue chips for picks and stop half azzing the rebuild, this is the year to train the younger players up, but our front office and lame duck coaches are hanging on too hope for continued employment, so they can’t just write the season off, which puts us another season behind.... This front office, and coaching are hideous... HTTR ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jay can’t run the ball, we’re screwed. Honestly, I won’t be surprised if we have the first pick in the draft next year. When we win this year, it will be 9 to 6. Haskins is nowhere near ready to play and it reflects on Gruden. Our opponents read him like a juicy tabloid. They just feed on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE HAMMER'IN HOG Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 YUP...the seasons over, no way this team can win, after all if you lose in the pre-season with your backups in, with most of your starting offense not even seeing the field, it's obvious we are finished!!! I don't know which is better; guy's talking super bowl after a dominant win in the pre-season, or...#1 draft pick after a lose??? SMH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I don't see how this team is gonna be ready for the Eagles. How do you get any rhythm the way Jay manages the preseason? And yeah, he's not alone around the league in not playing people, I get that. The Mclaurin thing is baffling. I appreciate he's a stud in practice, but just putting him on ice like he's a vet All-Pro seems dubious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
