Coverage busts, throwing deep at bad times, and Calvin Ridley being in a completely different dimension mentally than Trevor lost us this game. It wasn't because Garrett destroyed our OL like i thought it would be. Failing to establish any sort of rushing attack was the most frustrating part for me on offense. But two plays where the defense TOTALLY WHIFFED turned into 14 points. That can't happen. Without that big play on each drive, we might've at least held one of those drives to a field goal.
Trevor didn't have a good game at all, but my whole game conclusion is that the receivers were the #1 factor. Some of the blame is on him but guys just weren't separating vertically, were letting DBs run the route for them, were running the wrong route or picking the wrong option route for the situation, not looking for the ball till it's too late, etc etc Two of his picks were on deep shots we just shouldn't have thrown at all where the DB stayed on top & this is where I always say we need possession receivers, Ridley and Kirk and Zay just ain't it when it comes to taking a chance downfield. And the third pick was one where either Ridley ran the wrong route or Trevor expected the wrong route. It was miscommunications and bad calls for our skillset more than anything.
I’m just gonna say it - @CarpetElf comparing nfl offensive lineman to himself and Randall is lame as hell. I hope you get CTE
strongly disagree. We should not just call risky sideline fades in pressure situations with Kirk. He can separate in an actually good play call that gets him open in the slot, but he's not the kind of of receiver who's gonna beat a physical one on one outside when we call that deep fade play.
like, Press should scratch that play out of his playbook until we either get an actual dawg on the outside or unless we are lining Engram out wide to run that route
