No the other time wasn't Dayo. Is was the guy from Vikings, similar names. Even local announcers said he made a mistake confusing them.

 

Odenigbo? 

 

How is Oden doing? I was a big fan of his. Very smart. Northwestern alum

Yeah him

 He over pursued on a run play and gave up the backside run for quite a bit.

 

Heard he has been pretty good in camp though.

the WR's are struggling. That isn't a good sign.

 

I know this is just based on watching one quarter of preseason ball but I do feel that this offense is going to go as far as Taylor takes them for the most part. Ryan most likely is going to play ala Rivers two years ago which isn't bad at all, but it isn't going to be insanely better than Wentz last year either, probably just more consistent.

 

Reich and Ballard better hope the young receivers step up this season by the way they were talking so highly about them. If not, that's another notch against them.

Kind of like the young De's showed up last year? I am on record as saying this team could go far based on all the additions. However, I have said on this forum and before this game that the biggest thing to watch is the  receiver/TE core. This team will go as far as that group because I think they r kind of solid every where else. After watching the 2 quarters of this game, I am like kind of taken aback. I know it is pre season but man Ryan was looking long. U could tell with his eyes and him pumping the ball. He had to settle for the check down. Screams of receivers  not getting open. Got news for u. Ty wont solve that problem. They have to go with it. The Oline does not look overly impressive.

I know one thing.  Everyone always mentioned how dangerous the combination of Taylor and Hines in the backfield will be, but I think a combination of Lindsey and Hines would also be pretty dangerous

Taylor is just such an other worldly player and makes the O that much more productive

    • He has this 3/4 release point, super fast release, throwing at an upward angle, what I would call a 100mph fastball.  I can't tell that he learned much having a year + in the system, and I sure can't tell that our coaching staff has done anything to improve his throwing style and accuracy.  It has to be in his head that he is so bad at hitting very open pass catchers somewhere between belt high and their numbers.  All he has between his ears is smoking, rising fastballs.   Hey Coaching Dummies, Make him start by holding the ball 6 or so inches higher, get that elbow up off his side, and make him start his throwing motion from closer to the top of his shoulder.   It will slightly slow his super quick release which causes some eraticism, and should flatten out the arc, bring the ball down. How hard is this?      I preached that we should look back on how he looked the last 1/3 of the season. Those games will give us some truth to what his ceiling Might be.  For me, it's painful to watch him throw the ball 6' feet over someone's head then watch him walk off the field with that dazed look. It gives me this instant hopeless empty feeling.   Please, somebody fix him starting Now!!!      
    • Na, just waiting till the right time to open up the playbook and release the beast.
    • If they had lost this game, then I think his seat would start warming up. And if this team did go 3-14, then yes, I don't think his job is safe. It shouldn't be.   But something like 5-7 wins, I don't see it happening. We are most likely looking at Ballard through 2025, probably a similar timeline for AR too.
    • Ebukam and Buck were everything we had at pass rush last season.   Credit to Partridge. Paye also put in a lot of effort this offseason and it's shown.
    • This is exactly right. In the offseason, every coach (Steichen, Turner, Cooter, AR's personal QB coach) talked about what he has been working on to refine his throwing motion. And all of the improvements he has made.   And so far, he doesn't look improved at all. If anything, he's gotten a bit worse. He throws those side-arm passes, sails passes, doesn't show much touch, etc.   I know it's his 7th game, but he's had NFL coaching for two years now, so some improvement in this area is a reasonable expectation. So is it coaching OR is is the player?    And if it's the player, then short of a Josh Allen-like transformation, not sure what they can do.
