bruceb Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Just now, Rod Johnson said: It's honestly just a relief that we whooped them. Our defense won that game, our offense did enough without turning the ball over. We could have ran 50 times and still won. Curious play calling again. Too many running plays called when they had 8 in the box. Or was Mayfield asleep at the switch and not calling audibles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure he has too. And Burnett has been solid for us thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be happy you idiots. Yea man I’m glad we’re underwhelmed after winning by 20 and beating a team we should have beat. That’s what good teams do 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I would have a basis for optimism about this team if that somehow happened. Not nitpicking. The hype was that we were a playoff team for sure and a possible SB contender. Not the case based on what I am seeing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 @bruceb No doubt we still have a lot to work on. A lot of us even said it could take some time for our offense to gel. But dude, we won by 20 points on the road in primetime. Just be happy with the win. Especially cause it could get ugly next week if we don't clean things up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkronsWitness Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) I am worried about what the Rams front 7 and Donald will do to Baker if Monken/Freddie dont come out next week fully prepared to alter the play calling. If Baker is waiting for 10-15 yard routes to develop every other snap he might get sacked 20x. They need need need a more quick hitting rhythm offense Edited September 17, 2019 by AkronsWitness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Character Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 A win always feels good, but until this team with Baker leading beats a team with a winning record and/or playoff contender I'll reserve my real excitement. Freddie calling a pass play getting Baker hit when we're up 20 and there's like a minute left in the game is one of the most disappointing things and upsetting things from this game. It's the height of foolishness and shows a real lack of awareness. How can you put your franchise QB in a position like that. It wasn't even a QB protecting play call. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Character Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I know a lot people aren't talking about it, but OBJ does not look healthy at all. His route speed and movement dynamics were sluggish relative to the elite of elite movement athlete he's been in his career. On that TD run, a healthy OBJ houses that with ease, but you could see his movement not as fluid, him laboring, and his acceleration/speed diminished. Now, when you're an elite athlete with crazy speed that still means you house that thing like he did lol. Will be something to watch going forward. I hope he can stay healthy.

NateDawg Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 I'm very happy with a win tonight so I don't want my opinion to be confused. Looking ahead towards next week, I have some real concerns about what I think we could see. We've really not had the best game-plan on offense, and I think I expected more of an adjustment from last week to this week. Baker isn't being put in a consistent position to be successful with the passing play-calling. He has never really done great against inside pressure, and the Rams have that in bunches, led by Donald. Baker has seemed confused or uncomfortable in the pocket more than I expected so far. To have a chance of winning or avoiding serious injury to Mayfield next week, the recipe needs to be 3-step drops, rollouts, and screen passes to go with the ground game.

It was the fastest a player has been clocked at this year on a scoring play. Not saying he is 100% but I think he is close enough that we don't have to worry about it unless something happens.

I know the Jets had a horrible QB situation, but they were absolutely manhandled up front for 4qtrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
