There was a play in Seattle where it was 3rd and 2. Pat left the pocket to his right and could have easily ran for the first down. Instead he launched it 50 yards downfield and ended up underthrowing it and forced a punt. If there’s 3 safeties on the field playing the deep ball (hint: there will be a lot of the time) then why not take the easy money and get 6,7,10, 12 yard gains? There’s too much talent. Players will get open. |

But this "control the clock and keep the defense off the field" shit just isn't what they need to do. |

So there are 3 examples you made there of where it took the offense off the field. How many are there of the other way where him being aggressive and taking the kill shot scored points or stressed the defense too a breaking point? First possession in the 2nd half of the AFCC game he did the same thing on 3rd and 2. Pretty much exactly what you're saying. How'd that play turn out? |

The biggest issue with out defense was getting off the field on 3rd down, that's not related to the offense scoring too fast. Edit: Found it. https://theathletic.com/794296/2019/...e-this-season/ |

Ain't no shit there.
Gents, I really don't care how he's looked in camp. That guy does NOT have the athleticism to play CB in the NFL. Not as a starting boundary corner at the very least. I'm trying to think of a comparison and I'm thinking Bartee may even be too generous. If he's the long-term starter out wide, quarterbacks will start throwing deep balls out his way as a bail-out mechanism in an attempt to draw a penalty. He cannot stay in a WRs pocket and he'll have to grab to avoid the deep completion. Worse still, he does a fine job of driving on a play in front of him but a pretty awful job of tracking the ball coming up and over him so he won't be getting his head turned either. He's a guy you could maybe see playing safety because he does well to get downhill and seems to read plays well enough when they're in front of him. And maaaaaaybe he could be used as a dime CB or 3rd CB since he seems to use his feet well over short distances. But if that guys your starting CB out wide, you are proper ****ed. I'm hoping this is just a motivational ploy; maybe Spags thinks that Ward and Fuller are playing a little too comfortable right now since Reasier got hurt and Wade fell off; there really wasn't a credible threat to their jobs anymore. So in the absence of one, Spags will try to invent one. Because if Miller's truly the 2nd best CB on this team, we'll need every bit of that 36 PPG scoring average being predicted. |

I haven't seen anything to support it. Ward is playing better and I don't think it's that close. |

If this guy is as bad as bartee , he shouldn’t be allowed on the field. I haven’t paid that close of attention to him, but he surely isn’t that bad.

It’s basically plays like this where they are low percentage. LB tackling you as you throw into double coverage. Just take the points, especially against the Pats. |

It's a little like hurdling a guy - I'm gonna look the other way if you do it when it's important. But man, don't make a habit of shit like that; it's awfully rare that a single play is more important than the 2-4 weeks you may miss by getting your dick knocked into the turf. Discretion is often times the better part of valor in this league. Not when your Marcus Peters out there making 'business decisions' but when you're Watkins looking at trying to get another 5 yards at the risk of several games out. Maybe just take what you're given and run back fresh to the huddle without a hit on your legs/body. |

Obviously, in that play you need to throw it away and live to fight another day. But Pat is going to be aggressive. We're gonna have to just get used to it. |

There were more than a few times last year where he'd duck his shoulder into a safety or Cb running down the sideline, made me cringe every time. Just step out of bounds. The key to playing this game is to avoid getting hit. Guys are just to big and fast, you can't survive playing that way. |

I don't think anyone is saying neuter Mahomes. But yes there were times where he tried to do too much and it ****ed us. |
