14 Day Predictions (by start of 11/23)

[EastStreet]

 

A little fun.. 

[EastStreet]

 

Only 2 sacks

Strausser gone

Montgomery as OC (my gut says Reggie though lol)

LVR beats Indy

Indy beats Philly

Sam is the QB for the next 2 weeks

[chad72]

Patriots' DL was a bad matchup for us. Raiders will be easier, IMO.

 

So, the Raiders game, we might give up just 1 sack but the Philly game, we might give up 4 sacks because their DL has some sauce in it. So we will average about 2-3 sacks over the next 2 games. Losing to LV and Josh McDaniels puts Jim Irsay over the edge and he goes back to Nick Foles for the emotional play against Philly. However, we lose to both LV and Philly. I still have no idea why Strausser has a job right now, we would have a chance against LV if he were gone.

 

Parks Frasier is my OC candidate that I have in mind.

If there will be OL improvement, it'll probably take more than 2 weeks to happen.

 POLL   Q, Kelly, Smith... what blocking scheme do you wish to run.

 IMO Fries has power ability.

   It is time to grind!

I think Jeff is likely asking all the OL (about scheme preference, and perhaps about position). 

No confidence at Fries (at this time)

Eagles line will probably get 9 or 10 sacks

So let's say the Olinemen want to go to man. Is it to late  in the season to change?

No.. 

But they wouldn't go all power/man. 

Only a % of run snaps. 

Power/man is easier. Zone is more nuanced.

Maybe we can limit it to 4 or 5 at home since we should be able to hear protection calls better. But then, if Sam E is afraid to pull the trigger, even when he pulls the trigger a fraction of a second late would lead to INTs or incompletions vs an aggressive DB group like the Eagles. That is what I am afraid of.

 

If Sam E doesn't cut it in the Raiders game by scoring 20 points, we should move to Foles and run the quick RPO and throws he did with the Eagles during the SB run and make Sam E a game time decision so that it won't be easy for them to plan for Foles exclusively.

I would be all for trying Raimann, Nelson, Pinter, Ryan Kelly and Braden Smith from left to right.

I would like to see that lineup as well.

At this point, I am looking forward to some accountability for All-Pro caliber offensive lineman playing like UDFA's. It is costing other people their jobs at this point.

I expect quick RPO, or just simple quick plays in general. Probably several designed QB runs.

I'm guessing Raimann will start Sunday, but swapped for the Philly game. I'm good with Pinter at C and trying RKelly at RG. I suggested early this season.

 

But I could see Jeff shuffling a few times. 

 

In 3-5 weeks, my guess it settles at

 

Pryor or DKelly  / Nelson / Pinter / RKelly  / Smith

or 

Pryor / Nelson / RKelly / Smith / DKelly

Strausser watch is on - 1379 days and counting.

Reich never worked with Strausser and they had never meet prior to the phone call offering him a job in 2019.

The year before the hiring the OL had arguably their best season as a unit since that group had been together.

[Solid84]

4/game

Strausser stays

Montgomery

Colts lose both

Sam

 

I think the call to play Sam came from Irsay.

 

I don’t think Saturday is here to fire peope, so unless Irsay makes that decision, Strausser stays.

 

I’ll believe in improvement when I see it.
 

I think it’s rather rare for teams to drastically improve midseason after firing their HC.
