With all the doubles that are being thrown at Leo and minimal edge talent, it was a smart move to negate some of those doubles. I also think timing on offense is what we a starting to see Sam develop. This is so important for the success of a wc offense. Sam talked about it today in his presser. While his arm strength isn’t Stanford or mahomes level, it’s not the issue. It’s timing. He can put the balls through the windows. He’s been flinching weeks 2-4. Today was looser and more in rhythm.

Yeah ... but couldn’t on third and long? He was only given the opportunity when they had to. I’m not giving him a pass. Just saying that he was never put in a position to succeed the whole game. Play calling, penalties, field position, oline, crap receiver play. Hard for a rookie to not have a bad game under those circumstances Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app

Yup. Penalty, stuffed run 3rd and 12 how many time last night? Trying to protect Sam just handicapped him. It’s not about protecting him, it’s about calling plays to make him successful. Big difference Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app

I love and hate this idea all at the same time. Love- another big target to make tough catches and a seasoned veteran with a healthy resume. Hate - another me first guy who throws his qb under the bus, throws sideline tantrums and will be in a rookie qbs ear all day long about his targets because he’s a me first guy on a prove it deal Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app

Exactly. When your only attempts are on third and long(er than 10), it’s pretty impossible to have any success on this team. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app

Also a terrible game by mo and tru. The only way we get pressure is by bringing dbs. Which we quit doing in the second half to sit back in coverage. The absence of any edge rush was well evident. Defensive play calling was to conservative as soon as Baker came in. They didn’t want to allow him any explosive plays to fire up the team. Instead they gave him consistent opportunities without any pressure and made him look like Aaron Rodgers (he ain’t) Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app

Sam looks fine. They’re protecting the lead and playing field position. He taking what he’s got and not pressing Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app
