Our offense after the bye week

keithbrooking56

We need to start running a heavy dose of two tight end sets. The rookie from Stanford is a 6'8" beast that has shown he can make plays in the limited chances he has had. I also think due to his size he would make a terrific inline block and we desperately, desperately, desperately need more from our running game.

Getting out of 3-4 wide sets and into 2 TE sets would do it. I also would love to see some variety in the classic I and Strong I with Snelling or Cox at FB with Quizz running the ball and later S-Jax if he ever gets healthy. Our offensive line simply can not block on its own and we need the additional blocker from either a second tight end or leaving in the FB to get the job done.

I agree. Stop with the delays and draws so that backs dont wait to run into a closed hole. But also give the ball to Matt and let him prove the kind of winner he is. This is his Aaron Rodgers/Peyton Manning moment. Manning won with worse teams than we have now.

papachaz

since you mentioned snelling, any news on him?

I'm thinking more draws are the answer to cover for our offensive line.

@Radical - good to see you it's been a WHILE

I agree we need to be doing more two TE sets, and toilolo should be used more. Let him go to JJ's spot some and create some size mismatches

something else I'd like to see, even though I won't get frustrated when it doesn't happen, move reynolds to RT and someone else, Hawley or Gunn to RG. I haven't understood at all why they insist on putting him at guard when he did a decent job filling in and was on the depth chart as clabos backup..

Shit like that is why my patience with this coaching staff is wearing really thin.

it's been that way really ever since this staff has been here. remember adam jennings? I understand giving a guy a chance to prove himself, but a little shorter lease is in order on way more people than they give, no doubt

Not only is he scouting him, he's going to trade multiple picks for him.

papachaz

so does he go ahead and give a couple of this coming years picks? LMAO I would almost bet that if he could work it out he might........

mdrake34

Our offense better not include Hakeem Nicks after the bye. Jason Lacanfora alleges we're possible suitors for him.

I will pitch a grown man hissy fit like you people have never seen if TD does this trade.

RnB

Yeah, let's hope Hakeem Nicks isn't in our future. It doesn't make very much sense.

After the bye I wouldn't be surprised to see more two TE sets and more multiple back passing sets.

As far as continuing to shake up the offensive line, I am all for it if they can find something that works. Most of our offensive lineman are interchangeable at multiple positions. Whatever works, use that. Fuck seniority, experience, or anything else. I want them to find the BEST possible offensive line and use it, hopefully it is better than our current setup.

papachaz

I'm with you RnB, whatever works, use it. move some people around or move some people out or something, what we have isn't working, that's for sure

Drathdon

I'd love Nicks! The price would be the *only* problem I'd have with him, and then only if it was more than a 4th.

JDaveG

As I said on the other board, the only Nicks I want is Carl. I'll take him and his MRSA cooties long before I'd take another frickety fracking wide receiver.

Jesus

We dont need hakim nicks. If Brady can win with his scrubs, Ryan can with White and the crew.

mdrake34

Brady has an actual o-line. But due to injury, they're starting two UDFA's at DT, who are playing pretty well.

sonnyjim

The OL has not gelled. Konz can't get any guard help, Reynolds can't get any help. We need backfield help with the A and B gaps. Leave a fullback (or Hawley) in max protect. Drew Davis is as good as Hicks. Toilolo will be a stud but he's not ready to block hungry safeties or any linebacker.

mdrake34

As a blocker, Toilolo is going to have the same disadvantage as Reynolds - his height. Tough to get leverage on someone when you're 6'8".

Jesus

Rodgers has a shit line but he still performs. If the line isnt gelling we have coaches and practice for that. The Iceman should take some of 5
that $100 million and take his line out for a steak dinner or two. Rise up this whole team needs to gell.

Yeah, but he can cut block half the defense with one dive.

Howdy, Stranger!
