caldwell has made some adjustments!

The "adjustments" - thing is gettin' old. There are no adjustments. We've been doing things the same way for years. After two games we're at the bottom of the league in most categories and we're having a hard time executing what we already should know how to do. We all know the story on offense and on defense we're designed to play with a lead....which ain't happenin'. Even if we trick-played our way to a quick 10 pt. lead it wouldn't be enough.

With Caldwell, he's been in the game a long time & groomed to do things a certain way in Indianapolis. There won't be any radical difference making change over the course of the past seven days. I'd be happy to see the team play with zero turnovers, no more than three penalties, and not let out a big play on special teams. I'd consider that major progress even in a loss.....and something you could claim on behalf of Caldwell.

Not sure if one game that things worked out better will make anyone pay anymore attention to your "inside info" anymore than they will mine but perhaps If you have more revelations that come true, then perhaps you will get that respect. If you have inside info, go tell them to never loop Mathis or freeney all the way to the other side on 3rd and long. Just rush the passer and give the qb less time to find the downfield receivers.

      It would  be the rookie. We will see but I think smith will play.

      The only two I feel might miss are Paye and Kenny.  I think everyone else plays.

      Freeland wasn’t even active for the first three games.  I see Goncalves getting the reps not Freeland.

      It’s unfortunate when they just got their first win. If Lewis and paye can’t go we basically only have one DE. No rotation so Steelers will just wear this term down. I was do excited for this game now I am really mad. I was really looking forward to it. The offense might be able to make up for defense but not if Kelly and smith can go.

      Is Shane Calling Plays to Win Games or to Groom AR?

      By Boondoggle · Posted

      This is where quality of your coach is so important.  And I think Shane is a quality coach to handle this situation.  Also I agree he is doing it right.  It's ugly, but he is balancing a big investment at QB with his job security which is very tough.   Running QBs often reach that point where the staff decides they are never going to learn to win from the pocket, and it is then you see the scheme revert back to college type approach and general simplicity to allow them to translate to the field.  But to get to that point you need to at least give the QB the opportunity.  Because once they do reach that point the team will usually be looking for another QB.   The way you build a perennial winner is finding a QB who can give you an edge from the pocket.  Given that, mobility and off schedule instincts are an advantage and desired.  But the latter will never trump the former because if your QB needs to be in space to see the defense and make his throws then defenses will be able to shut him down in the playoffs.  QBs like that don't win 3 or 4 games in a row against the best defenses in the league, which is required to hoist a Lombardi.   I mean look at Allen.  He developed the ability to win from the pocket.  He has had good teams around him.  He is a dominant run threat.  And he still has come up short in the playoffs.  When there are guys like him and Mahomes with rosters around them, you aren't gonna get past them with a QB who can't do the job from the pocket.
