SteelKing728 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Anyways, I don't think there should be any doom and gloom here. Our coach trusted his decision to make a change at QB and it worked. Going forward, I think it has to be Mullens and Hall with Dobbs as QB3. I'm thankful for him extending our season (I can't say "save" just yet) but I think it was clear that his magic ran out. I hope Mattison, O'Neill and Jefferson are okay. We still need all the offensive help we can get. The defense is outstanding. I've never been so proud of a defensive minded coach for us before. This is better than the 2017 defense I think. They've saved us too many times to count. It's wild to think it's mostly the same guys as last year too! I don't know what to think of Joseph. There probably aren't any better options out there right now. The offensive line was a mess. The Raiders defense is not that good. We made them look ridiculous though. I'm just glad we won. 2 more and we are in I think. Let's do it, and maybe help KOC win coach of the year! Skol! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the game, but I do remember the rain in Pittsburgh! IIRC, it was that muddy game. The teams were literally just playing in mud practically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpMc Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 A lot of, and deservedly so, talk about Ivan Pace... but how about the type of player Mekhi Blackmon is rounding into? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 When Dobbs has the 3rd highest grade on your offense after that performance, that shows you what kind of day it was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) I guess I should invest in an Ivan Pace jersey, whose making Kleinsasser's number look less Bigfoot-like. 🤣 Edited December 11, 2023 by swede700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolmonite26 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I was curious how Dobbs was going to score at PFF, and I'm not totally surprised it was above average. He was better then the numbers indicated, but I'm not sure what that means anymore with the consistently poor production. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was better then the numbers indicated, but I'm not sure what that means anymore with the consistently poor production. Dobbs walked into a new, complex offense that relies heavily on timing. However cerebral Dobbs is, intelligence alone is not a substitute for practice and repetition. It took Cousins more than a season to become comfortable in KOC's system, and Cousins has a superior arm to run that system. Due to the rapid way the situation unfolded in MN, Dobbs has struggled with the timing and has largely been limited to buying time with his feet and improvising, on top of his personal limitations. Once defenses zeroed in on containing him and forcing him to quickly hit WRs from the pocket, he ceased being productive and the offense faltered to its current state. If Dobbs could better sync with the WRs (which takes time to develop), this trend would reverse. I think that's what KOC anticipated, at least incrementally, and is probably why he was willing to keep Dobbs on the field so long. Dobbs' intelligence and athleticism might have justified the risk. Edited to add: The WRs haven't done Dobbs any favors lately. I can't remember a time when receivers killed so many drives with dropped passes. It would be interesting to see what Dobbs could do with an offseason to build a rapport with the WRs. But that experiment is likely over.
