Let's see if I can get it right three years in a row.
I might edit this post and add in specific game predictions. 
We lose against the Eagles this week. |
Of course this was posted before the game lol.
Honestly, the way my logic is going right now, it looks like this.
In order to win games we need to run the ball, take leads, and play good defense, all the while asking whomever our starting qb is to play okay game manager football.
As of now it's completely obvious how much our run game depended on Trent Williams and Kory Lichtensteiger. Steig is out for the year from the reports, and Trent might miss a couple weeks. And with both of them out our run game looked like a pile of dog excrement. Sorry Sean Locklear and Erik Cook, but the less I see of you the better.
So now lets say we can't run the ball. That means we have to put it in John Beck's hands, and while most of what we saw today was the result of his lack of work with the first team, I don't think Beck is the kind of qb who you can put the game on his back. And the way Kyle S. calls plays its clear running the ball isn't his priority either, and that hurts.
Lets just say I don't like our chances if T.Will misses a lot of time and Lichensteiger is out for the year. Our lack of o-line depth is really going to show up here.
Before the season started I felt content getting through the season with Grossman and/or Beck at quarterback. Now that Grossman has looked simply gross, man, (lame pun intended), if we can play average ball with Beck at qb I'll be content. I thought Grossman would play 50/50 ball at least, and he's playing more 10/90 (90 being bad) ball as of this game. I said before the season I'd be content using the pair of qb's this season if it meant we got our franchise qb next offseason, and right about now I hope the Shannies/B.A. are thinking along the same lines. As for the rest of the season, well I hope Beck can play ok, because I don't want to see Grossman back on the field.
