No problem, we just get Streveler back.
Now What…..
- Thread starter Greentilldeath
- Start date
We won the trade !!!!
Gotta wonder what was up with the blocking scheme. We saw both Brown and Becton completely whiff on cut blocks. I question if they even practiced it in camp.
There's chatter about Rivers returning...and I don't think it started yesterday.
Apparently Rodgers didn't like the cut blocks. Maybe they should have listened to him
There are any number of people who give us a better chance to win, Zach was rated 31st out of the 32 starters last season. The Superbowl has gone but there is still a chance to not get swept by the Patriots and possibly sneak a Wild Card. Or we can give up on the season and win just enough games to take us out of the blue chip draft picks.
Problem there is "no starters are available" and really no one who knows this offense is available for a quick plug and play fix.
We would be picking through backups, and quite honestly, backups that other teams don't want. With the exception of possibly a Stafford trade (and I believe he has multiple years left on his contract, which would cause an issue if Rodgers comes back), I'm not really seeing who out there would be a clear cut upgrade.
Don't think we can afford Stafford (or Brady or Rivers). But there are a number of backups with starter experience who are better than Zach. Hell, Boyle is better than Zach and he was running the PS last week. I would be happy to wait for you to come round to the conclusion that Zach isn't the answer but I REALLY don't want to be swept by Belichick AGAIN and hear the announcers gleefully repeating that stat.
Minshew? Trust me when I say, I do not believe Zach is the answer (I saw a slightly more confident version of last years Zach last night). But I think we are pretty stuck with the situation.
Think the season really falls on Hackett at this point. If he can keep the offense simple and keep Zach from holding the ball, we will have a chance. If he can get Zach playing anywhere near the talent, we can have a successful season.
No hope, no expectations, just happy the football season is back.
Didn't he just have his 9th kid?
Just wait till next year...!
Here are the 2 issues with Zach……. He can sort of move the team between the 20’s….. but he cant finish in the end zone. Second problem…… defenses don’t fear Zach to beat them with his arm, so here comes 8 men in the box and that kills the run game. At least with Foles (or any vet) even though he ain’t great, ya gotta respect the pass.
Red zone plays is supposed to be Hackett's strength, so lets hope he can fix that.
Zach can be a game manager, but he has to hit some strikes or as you mentioned the box will stay stacked and dare him to throw. Personally I think they need to run a ton of slant plays, and dink/dunk plays. Get the ball out of his hands quick and into the playmakers hands.
Hardman didn't get any burn in MNF, we need to change that. Put some playmakers out there, move the ball quick, and force the defense to defend the middle of the field. That is the only way we will get them to back off and play honest.
The big problem is Zach sucks I the red zone. Something has to give right?
We need Breece to run it in from OUTSIDE of the red zone.
Sound scary but good to me. I have a feeling Zach’s going to play much better than he did last year. Let’s do it!
Now what? Double down on the scotch & tranquilizers.....
