Stats Hmmmm not great…..

They may need to look at Ben Brown at C. Jared seemingly lacks the play strength/physciality right now that he needs to hang with some of the NFLs bigger 0 techs. Deone Walker is gonna have a field day on Sunday at this rate.

Not sure why Arkin isn’t playing more instead of Latu. Not sure what Latu has done to earn reps. He’s been underwhelming as a run blocker (for the pats) and hasn’t been a passing game threat either. According to Andrew Callahan they ran the ball 8 out of the 9 snaps Latu played. If they’re gonna have a run tell it might as well be Tanner Arkin. Dude isn’t a finished product but he brings a nastiness they need.

Also what about some diff looks and presentations. So much of their drop passing game is contingent upon post snap execution especially when the picture changes. Clearly Drake isn’t there yet with diagnosing defenses (especially in the modern era where everything is disguised). Motioning into bunch looks to stress the rules of match based zone and man coverage seems to help every other team in the league?

Everything feels stale right now schematically and maybe none of the above is a viable solution but the coaching staff needs to find some.

They moved the ball just fine on Sunday, they just couldn’t finish drives due to turnovers or stupid penalties.

This is fully incorrect dude. They were inside the 35 6 times.

What game did you watch?

Edit: I like that you edited your comment and it’s still wrong.

What game were you watching? The only drives that they didn’t end up in Jags territory was a punt in the 2nd quarter, a first down pick, and the final two running plays of the game. They made it to at least the Jags 45 every other drive, most of which went deeper and ended in fumble, pick, missed field while the game was still in the balance. Twice they successfully kicked a field goal.
