ARTMONK HOF Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 1 hour ago, e16bball said: Saahdiq does move very well for a guard, which I appreciate. He gets downfield in a hurry on screens, and he does a pretty good job when they ask him to get to a spot when pulling. He does move well, he had to have that athleticism when he played LT at LSU blocking for Burrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceinthehouse Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I also watched the raiders/Denver game Denver has a very good D. Raiders managed 17 against them. If we score more than 21 vs them? I'll be very impressed & that will tell me...the cardinals game was just a rained out anomaly. I think we can do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 I have no idea what to think with this game. You have two solid defenses with two offenses still trying to find identity. OU was at 40.5 and I think that might be spot on. Some 20-17 game won late. My keys to the game: 1) Continue to execute well on defense on third down. The cardinals were 28%. Let's keep the Broncos at 35% or worse. 2) Less turnovers for the offense. Three is way too many. If we don't cough up the ball, we'll obviously have more opportunities. 3) Get Terry involved. We're cooking when he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Quan Martin missed practice today, he's in concussion protocol. He might not play this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavar703 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 If Barton struggles again I'd like to see Hudson start to eat into his snaps. I know it was week one but everything that happened is all the same stuff I read about him on Seahawks forums after we signed him. Struggles shedding blocks and just generally looks lost out there. I get so annoyed when I watch defenses like the Jets and 49ers and see their LB play and then watch our staff just act like its a dead position.

Not that Wylie was very good…but Saahdiq was pretty bad. It’s really just more of the same issue that has always existed with Charles: his initial punch/contact seems to be weak, and he frequently loses (badly) in the first engagement. He actually does a pretty admirable job of shoring up and slowing them down eventually, but he gets driven back so quickly that he creates a lot of panic and disruption in the QB behind him. I was pretty surprised we were actually moving forward with him as a starter tbh. I more expected Gates at guard and Stromberg to start.

I'm not sure why we are trying to replace Barton with an in-house player? What plays did Barton not make that warranted a suggestion of him being removed? I didn't really see any great plays from him and I didn't see any real bad plays from him either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one where he gets driven completely out of bounds and thrown to the ground. He struggled big time. So two things on the two examples that you gave. The first thing, on the play where Connor gets his 13 yard gain, Barton does a great job reading and reacting, but he doesn't commit to the gap when he needs to. To me that is less about him being inept or as the video suggest "watching Connor run by him" and more about him needing to trust his instincts and go. The play is actually pretty well blocked by the Cardinals as well. They sealed the edge on Toohill with their TE (Ertz) which shouldn't really happen ever either. To me this play is not an indication that the player needs to be replaced. Just my opinion. The second thing is, you are referencing PFF for a grade while a player that both you and I know played poorly, Andrew Wylie, was graded as one of our top 5 grades on offense. Again, I am not here telling you that Barton played "great" but when I watched the game live, I didn't think he played poorly. Take it for what its worth.

What plays did Barton not make that warranted a suggestion of him being removed? I didn't really see any great plays from him and I didn't see any real bad plays from him either. He was really bad. Constantly fooled, sticky on blocks, taking bad angles, soft coverage on Ertz, etc. He seemed to tackle okay, but otherwise it was really not good. As I said elsewhere, LB is a tough position to step into a new system, so there’s no need to write him off quite yet. And definitely not for Khaleke Hudson, who I’ve always thought was really not good, dating back to his time at Michigan.
