Old Guy Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 1 minute ago, Brat&Beer said: When Wyatt did replace Lowry last year, run defense did improve by about 50 YPG and 1 YPC. So there may be something to the argument that he should have gotten more playing time earlier last year. Of course, it's also possible he wasn't showing enough in practice to cause the coaches to want to make a switch. Last week, everybody told me practice doesn't matter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a good amount of people calling for more reps when you saw the few a game he was getting. Think it was just out of loyalty to dean, who was maybe more consistent, but the peaks weren't there. Whatever it was I'm happy to see Wyatt going beast mode.

The season is going to hit some tough patches. They always do. Yesterday was validation of what this team can be. It may not happen this year, but Jordan Love can play and we have a whole lot of young, really talented players on this roster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is practice SUPER important to the aging vet? I think I trust David's knowledge in his body and his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random sample is a statistics term. Your sample size was not large enough and against enough opponents to be able to tell. The fact that, 'he was fine' is really only part of the equation. How will the line as a unit perform as he is a link in the chain. Will there be more communication breakdowns? So many other factors. Yesterday was a success by any measurement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 1 hour ago, Mazrimiv said: Yeah, I'm kind of expecting Doubs and Reed to be the receivers Love leans on the most, while Watson becomes a more dangerous version of MVS. I don't really have a strong opinion on Musgrave yet, but the early signs are promising. Two other rookie tight ends had catches in their NFL debut this year. Sam Laporta and Andrew Ogletree. Ogletree had one catch on 2 targets. Sam Laporta had 5 catches for 39 yards and 7.8 yards per reception. Musgrave might've made a big mistake on that first missed wide open. He also stumbled on that second one. But the fact that he was wide open for two would be touchdowns... That doesn't happen. If it did, Kyle Pitts wouldn't be a joke and he'd have had like 20 touchdowns for how much the Falcons wanted to show him off in his rookie year. I don't know why it's so hard for people to see the reality behind tight ends. They don't just show up. Great receiving tight ends don't grow on trees. Travis Kelce isn't some Davante Adams of tight ends. Travis Kelce is the Jerry Rice of tight ends. Tony Gonzalez is the all-time leader in receiving yards by a tight end. He had 4 seasons of 1,000 yards. Travis Kelce has 7. In a row. He was first in yardage last season. By 400 yards. The difference between first place and second place is the same as the difference between 2nd place and 14th place. How is it so difficult for people to comprehend that difference? People need to get over their TE obsession. Musgrave is on pace for what would have put him in the top 4 of receiving yards for a tight end last season. He's going to be fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard it said that elite DL have an advantage with the double team: there is a real, exploitable weakness in the air-filled gap between them. Looks like Wyatt agrees.

When Bakh came back and was dominant again without practice. It's going to be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
