Baldy Breakdowns

I like Baldy and his analysis. Thanks

Nice shove by LVE on the first play. . I love that stuff. Didn’t really have to, but what the hell, I’ll knock him on his ***.

Did you watch the second vid ? How he took on the LT ?

Man was i wrong about this kid.

It was nice to see us finally use a FB near the goal line. Who woulda thought having a lead blocker for the RB would be a good thing?

That is why they traded for him, after Oakland signed Keith Smith.
Took them 10 games, as was mentioned above.

He did (82-87) but it seems he's always held a grudge that they let him go rather than being grateful that they signed him when he went undrafted. He ended up in Philly for a year or two at the end and for some reason, sides with them.

Yes he did hold a grudge for sure. He has been a hater ever since.

Only thing is, he was part of the OL when Tony D got his record 99 yard TD run. With only 10 men on offense.
 
If our RB can flirt with 200 yards a game I think we got a franchise QB on our hands here.

Philly was beaten badly in the trenches which is our only recipe for success. We either win like that or we don't win. Dak can't carry this team

And he should not have to.

The lack of effort b/w the Titan game and this game is all about the players wanting it.

That is on them.

That was my favorite clip. Not only is he running from sideline to sideline like a madman, but he took on a 300+ lineman in the hole, tossed him and made a textbook tackle. It confirms that the Urlacher comments are not that hyperbolic. And it shows how ridiculous the Bobby comparisons were.
 
635 is a terrible road. I remember going 5 MPH in the left lane for almost an hour because of the 5 car pile up and police occupying all the other lanes. OP's username stinks.

I think he lives there now and yes definitely is affiliated with the team just like Maycock (he grew up there).

It's a good thing we have an offensive guru HC who can scheme some miss matches

One thing I won't argue with Baldy on one bit, the fact that the two new names in there - the ones that are tough to pronounce and spell - Sua-Filo and Olawale, made a huge difference out there Sunday Night.

And that needs to continue!

This team has employed a fullback they never use for far too long. They're set up to be a powerful running team, but playcall like a finesse passing team. That's all on Garrett and Linehan for continuing to fail to realize that. I can only hope that after Sunday Night, they finally get it.

Su'a-Filo and Olawale need to stay on the field. If thy do, Elliott can dominate this league and win the rushing title. And even a less-than-fully-functional passer can have success. And just maybe, you can win some games. It's just a damn shame that it took 10 weeks to figure out who your team is and what they have.

Olawale played on nine snaps (13 percent). It tied for his most snaps this season (although nine was 17 percent of the offensive plays against New York. In only two other games has he played 10-plus percent of the snaps. Instead, we put in a second tight end when Olawale can do everything a tight end can do and more.

I was excited for this addition in the offseason, especially with Witten retiring, because of Olawale's versatility. However, like with most things, this coaching staff doesn't seem to know how to use what it has. It should forget about two tight ends and make the fullback a part of the base offense. Of course, they should have done that from the beginning. And of course, they should throw it to Olawale on occasion and even hand him the ball to keep the defense aware that he's a triple threat.

Check that out, it sure seems like the more Olawale plays, the better the team does. They actually win games.

I don't know if that's because we're running the ball more (especially when we're ahead) or just more effective at it with him in the game.

It irks me that this staff doesn't understand how to use players but instead sticks with what it knows, such as two-tight end sets even when no second tight end has really stepped up.

The sad truth is that they've never known their own team, especially when it comes to the running game. Garrett and Linehan have always been a bad match for that. You're talking about one coach in Jason Garrett who has always had to have a "run-game babysitter" to handle it for him, and another guy in Linehan who thinks it's too "dumb" and "boring" running the football because he can't show everybody how brilliant he (thinks he) is. Too pass-happy coaches for a run-oriented team.

The personnel failings bother me about as much as the coaching. The combination keeps us from having the best personnel on the field while tyrpically running an offense that needs to be better talentwise because its not better schemewise than the defense.
