A stream of consciousness thing in no particular order.
On D.
Where to start? Ummm, did Polite run over Staley’s dog or something? Only 2 snaps, I believe, in 3 games at a position where Ebu is rated worst in the league and Obo is sucking? Seriously? I’d be giving Hollins a lot more snaps, too. Anybody else with a damned pulse, really. I mean, WTH do they have to lose?
I hope Snead is burning the midnight oil trying to line up a trade for a vet edge player as a potential one year stopgap solution at edge. Too risky to count on Lewis just yet, don’t you think?
Why is Hill still starting either outside or in nickel? He particularly sucks at nickel. Our upcoming schedule of relatively weak teams offers an excellent opportunity to give Burgess and/or Long some opportunities to show that they would be upgrades. Hill is a goner next year anyway, so again, what do we have to lose?
Gawd, I hope that Staley is reintroducing the secondary players to each other this week. They played that first half and that final drive as if they never practiced together before. It was beyond embarrassing. Never seen so many blown coverage assignments.
Staley can’t afford to wait until mid-3rd quarter to dial up blitzes against good QB’s. Staley has GOT to find some pressure somehow, some way.
As to ST, I hate to sound like a broken record but Kupp as designated PR with players like Webster and Calais sitting on the bench is a mistake on multiple levels.
Offense is really humming, so no questions there for me. It appears that Boom will return as backup at both OG and LOT since Edwards kinda slammed the door on the LG ‘debate’. Akers, when healthy, will return in a rotation with Hendy, but Hendy definitely seems to have the inside track for ‘starter’ position.
That’s about it for my list of meaningful questions.
