We are all right

It will not be all right anymore at 0-2. Those of us(like me) who think they've already quit on this coaching staff will just have more ammo.

The board thinks it’s all Dak’s fault. They are wrong.

I do think Dak had a confidence issue against the Panthers. Dak came out in the [zone] his rookie season and continued
in 17 but the Falcon's game on has been another story. Dak has to find his confidence and play ball.

Agree 100%, and this is where good coaching can help him overcome that. We’ll get a good idea tomorrow night.

It seems unrealistic that tomorrow would be so looming but it appears that way.
It's probably just me but the look in Dak's eyes are not the same during interviews.
It surprises me.

DEFINITELY. That's part and parcel the result of getting physically man handled up front all day. ...cough cough..Connor Williams and Collins.

Conner Williams didn’t have a bad game. Most of the problems on the line came from the tackles. Collins problem wasn’t strength - it was speed.

Exactly.

History is heavily against 0-2 teams making the playoffs.

Playoffs????????

If this is a make or break season for Garrett he laid a big fat egg his first game.

The whole team did.

There are some smart football people here. I enjoy coming here and reading everyone’s opinion and views. Most of us are fans and a couple of trolls looking for arguments but.

For the most part we are all right about our Offense. Most have one thing they are focused on but I really think it’s a combo. We can all watch the film and see the same but different things.

1 - Some think it’s Daks fault. Your not wrong, he is gun shy. He don’t want to throw the pick so he holds the ball to long often seeing the reciever but missing the open window. Running around waiting for a totally open guy. Not always gonna happen in the NFL. Since the falcons game he has happy feet, not showing the poise in the pocket he had in 2016. He has to see the field get through his progressions and let it go. Very limited preseason work. Should get better this week.

2 - O-Line and again your not wrong. 2016 was a rock solid O-Line in both running and pass protection. We were rolling. End of last year we had injuries and what I like to call the Chaz Green effect. Dak was pounded. This year we have a rookie that’s getting pushed back constantly in Daks face and missing our center. Although Looney looked pretty good and will continue to bring it. But it’s not the same. This week they will be more in unison and play better. Very little preseason work together.

3 - The WRs. Not really wrong there. We have mostly new and rookie receivers. Unproven and not a lot of time with Dak in game time situations. Our new receivers coach had done a decent job but again with little or no preseason action with the starting QB there is no timing. Our guys are out there and did a pretty ok job last week but not getting the ball, this includes the TE. Jarwin did ok and it’s time to put Rico in action. Again this will improve this week.

4 - The staff, OC and or HC. Not wrong there at all. They are apparently running the same Offense once again with the occasional no RB set. Talk about letting a defense know your passing the ball. The staff is hedging there bets that our personel can beat 10 or 11 teams at least and make the playoffs without changing a thing. Problem is that when you reach the playoffs the 2 or 3 teams you have to play is as good or better than you. They have the personel to cover you up. That’s why they are there and these games come down to coaching and playcalling. Which we suck at. No in game adjustments and while they are here then there really won’t be. Maybe fool them with throwing the ball 3 straight times for the goal line. They have had plenty of time to prepare.

We are not wrong. But it’s definately a combo of all of these things. We are actually pretty smart. This is a team sport and if they can’t gel as a Offense then it don’t work right. I enjoy reading a lot of yalls posts. And I look forward to seeing how they improve this week. Hopefully it’s enough to fend off a division foe and bring a much needed win home. Will give this TEAM some much needed cionfidence. Especially a certain QB. Some of us still won’t be happy because we want perfection. Not gonna happen people. But maybe we can get close. Lol.

Awwww.. Playing the peacemaker. Love it bro. Enjoy the game tonight!

You too. Should be a exciting one. Division game at home. Even though we have no HFA.

 

[AlienBoy]

The whole team did.

Even Elliott missed a block that got Dak sacked. How often have we seen that?

No preseason work. The whole team was beyond rusty. This week should be a little better.

As I have written in other posts, this team is running the same offense that was successful in 2016 and it can be wildly successful this year too. But it needs better coaching.

The core issue is that the offense is built for Zeke to gain 5 or 6 yards on first down, setting up Dak for easy conversions on 2nd and 3rd down.

Last week two things occurred. All of them could be fixed today with coaching.

1) Mental errors by T.Smith and Collins - holding penalties and blocks in the back that wiped out nice plays and sent the team back 10 yards. I like Dak but he’s no Aaron Rodgers and he can’t consistently convert from 2nd and 20 or 3rd and 26.

2) Conner Williams was getting blown up, crashing the running lanes for Zeke. He should be playing tackle not guard, but it looks like the coaching staff wants to give him at least one more week there.

Thats it. Real simple.
