Sadly I think this sums up the entire coaching process going on. Instead of everything geared towards how high of an upside the guy could have, they are walking on eggshells scared he's gonna screw up ... and that tone and mentality is showing in Goff's play.They're trying to prevent another Ryan Leaf.
Jrry- You are a very knowledgeable guy and this thread has become silly about this conversation. Last thing I'll say and we should just drop it. My argument was never about are we top 10 in points allowed. You said our D was top 10. It only is in that category. Overall we are not. Do you disagree with that statement?
I agree that points allowed are what matter. No argument on that. If they get 400 yards and 17 points we should win.
But my response was valid. total defense we are not top 10. It doesn't matter what any coordinator would prefer or not.
I'm just talking data only.
As for the season I hope to god we are a top 5 scoring defense. If we are we should have a pretty good chance of the playoffs.
Guys - total defense is measured in yards allowed. Maybe it shouldn't be - but that's the name of the statistic. Let's move on to the game now.
We might be stuck with him is Marquez is really hurt unfortunately.Not a great throw by Goff but really I think that has to be the nail in the coffin of Quick. He can't catch the easy one earlier in the game and can't catch the more difficult one now.
