Didn't see their game. I didn't watch them all, but the ones I witnessed, ALL the teams looked better offensively. With all the hype over the new offensive coordinator, that is more than disappointing. Everything looked the SAME or worse for the Texans. No excuses. The offense and Caley had the WHOLE offseason to figure it out, AND they came up with a BOB game plan. I am super ticked.
LA had 7 sacks on the NFLs best line and only allowed 2 offensive TDs against those Eagles. Yet somehow our staff thought they could get away with shuffling 3 guys to replace one.
I`m sorry but shuffling 3 guys to replace one was stupid, you do this right before game one on no notice and expect them to be a cohesive unit who barely played in the pre season.............IMO that doomed us from the start with a line that is already suspect at best. I have faith in Nick and Demeco but I am underwhelmed with how they addressed this in the off season, next man up is fine but the quality has to be there and even the quality of starters is suspect at best...........let's see how the come-out vs TB
As far as sheer underperformance from a predicted Super Bowl contender. Detroit wins this week's suck fest. Carolina and New Orleans are just bad as expected, no big Suprise there.
Actually, thinking about expectations compared to crappy play, the Dolphins put up quite a stinker as well.
True. Detroit completely fell flat. I do wonder if Green Bay is going to be the team. Adding Parsons does a lot for that D
The holding penalty was BS and put us in a hold right from the start. For a totally re-worked line and a rookie starting tackle they played better than expected. Rams are a good defense. We have a terrible RB crew. We’d be better off going straight run and shoot. Our defense will keep us in games until the offense catches up. Of course, injuries have already had a significant impact and more injuries to offensive line will kill us. Chubb was grasping at straws, but maybe he was the best available. I still expect this team to be playing well by the playoffs which we will make.
Caserio could've traded a late rd pick for Jordan Mason like the Vikings did. He looked better than any RB on the Texans roster.
This is why I think these kinds of charts are total BS. The Rams were the better offense/team by a decent margin by my eye test.
Exactly, The Rams have a Hall of fame QB, one of the best HC in the league, a great RB and Nakua who ate our lunch VS 3 FG`s The eye test is all I needed to see.............they were clearly superior
I was listening to Clint on 610 yesterday after he watched the All 22 (and I take sports talk with a grain of salt) and his take on the O Line was that it was worse than it actually looked, basically the same old song and dance from last year although Ersery, who got beat a few times held his own. I trust the team to field a quality team but I am not sure what to make of the O Line and the lack of aggression to upgrade it, hell, I don't even need the aggression that the Bears took to their O Line as we will have some players who will get PAID in the next year or two but not ONE stud FA...............Clint was especially harsh on Can R who stunk and is getting paid north of $10 mill who said he has no business being on the field. I think Nick and Co do great at drafting some positions, but they are clearly not good at evaluating O Line man..................and in a way over reaction Wednesday, I am not sure they can hire a quality OC. The guy has never called a play in his life and to be fair we all have to have a day one on the job but he gets an F for Sunday................but look at the O Line he has to work with, the quality is simply not there, so you can "coach them up" but its up to them to actually perform and lets be honest, I don't think any of these guys is more than a backup on any other team For my sanity and fandom I hope they turn it around Monday but I am not holding my breath
Some of this, I think, has to do with the team having no offensive identity. They've (mostly) nailed their defensive picks and signings, and that's because DeMeco knows what he wants/needs. Caley may need a year to figure that out. It's another reason I think they should've hired an experienced OC - they know what they need, and I think our offseason would've reflected that. Hiring Caley - which may be a terrific hire - nonetheless derails any urgency because he's a learn-on-the-job hire, and that has nothing to do with his competence or knowledge - it's built into the decision. Hopefully, they can win more than the lose until Caley has his feet under him and the team is on all moving in the same direction, offensively.
