    It is really interesting. Both sides have solid points. Not sure that is good or bad :) We shall see soon.

    First of all, that was the Ravens coaches that said that, not ours. The Ravens coaches can say whatever they want, that doesn't mean it is true.

    Secondly, I am sick and tired of you touting this lie about Weddle and Gase. It is so freaking disingenuous for you to keep over and over and over bringing this up like it hasn't been answered and explained. Gase shot Weddle's assessment down with deadpan humor. You know this. I wish you would stop, because it reflects poorly on you to keep pushing this ridiculous lie.

    Third, if we didn't go ultra simple when Moore came in last year, that means the problem wasn't Thill else they would have drastically changed after he went down. They didn't.

    Yes that's what I meant. Of course our coaches wouldn't say that to Gannon.

    Them saying doesn't make it true. Them going in and taking away his first read and clobbering him in the game, kinda does.

    No he didn't. You can be sick and tired all you want, about me quoting Weddle and Gase, doesn't matter. I have quotes, you have nothing. Gase said, and I QUOTE:

    "it was a lot on the QBs plate. It was a lot on everyone's plate."

    earlier in the year, Gase said it was everyone's fault BUT the QB. This time he said, yeah too much on his plate and everyone else's. You can draw your own conclusions from that, I really DGAF. But those are the facts.

    Re-read what you are trying to argue.
    yes, for someone who didn't take any first team reps all year came off the bench cold, and ran the offense through the rest of year I'm surprised they didn't dumb it down even further for Moore. We didn't see a dropoff did we.


    This year, this year the QBs (at least according to Gase) are not the problem. Tanny wouldn't have been, Moore was limited to one game against our nemesis, and Cutler looked like a problem but Gase insists he's not. This year, hell Gase is saying the oline isn't even the problem. His beef is with someone else.

    No. It means we had no other viable option other than the first read because the Ravens manhandled our line. You actually need time to complete a pass, you know.


    As I said, you're being intellectually dishonest per usual.

    Here's the quote:

    "Yeah, that's why Eric is who he is. He knows this offense probably as well as anyone outside this building," Gase said.

    Again, if you were being honest, which you aren't, you'd know Gase is backhanding Weddle with that quote. Proof what you're spewing is as much of a lie now as it was every other time you tried to spew it.

    Sigh.

    Moore knows the plays. He's not fresh from another team. Working with the first string has literally no bearing on the lie you're trying to push. Does the QB know the plays or not? Can the QB read the opposing defense or not? Those are the only things that would dictate if the offense was dumbed down for the QB or not.

    If Thill was the reason, then we'd have seen a different offense when Moore was in. We didn't.

    I've watched him in isolation out of the backfield and Jay runs terrible routes..just terrible..

    he's a bit stiff in the upper body so getting his head turned around seemed to be a problem for him..

    no excuse for not being a good pass protector when your a good athlete.

    He is not the best route runner, but he is mot terrible, he was a pretty good receiver in college we just never used him very well as a receiver. We mostly just wen with short flat routes this year with a defender draped all over him. I remember his first couple of years he has some nice gains catching the ball over the middle. We just didn't use him properly in the passing game as usual, gase doesnt design plays to maximize what his receivers are good at.

    As far as his blocking he is actually a good blocker. He had one missed block against the ravens but prior to that going back to last season he has blocked very well, certainly better than williams who is a terrible blocker. I think ajayi is actually the best blocking back on the team he just had a bad game against the ravens.

    I think maybe you're confusing Ajayi for that other Boise St. back Ian Johnson (who was really good at catching balls).

    Personally I think anything he brings to the table after contact is negated by his poor vision. I haven't seen many backs with worse vision hitting a hole.

    its starts with route running to create space.. Jay was not good at it...stiff in the upper body, upright style, not conducive to gaining separation against NFL caliber players...in college your not going against the same athletes in his conference, so I'm sure the scheme and the caliber of athlete he was going against made catches easier...at this level, you have to take your route running seriously out of the backfield..staying low in your route and using deeks, excellent footwork and sharp cuts to separate....no..jay was not doing that.

    You are exaggerating how bad he is, again we did not design very good routes for his skills. His skill set is made for catching the ball facing up field or perpendicular to the sideline with momentum up field so he can use his power and burst to quickly burst through the zone and break tackles. That's what I am talking about gase is not adapting his system to specific skill sets and to counteract what the defense is doing.

    Running all these short flat routes and screens when the defense is stacking the los to stop the run and cover the short routes is stupid and gase has not made adjustments for that at all.

    Gase is not putting his players in the best positions to be successful.

    Ajayi is a great talent who was being misused here just as Landry is being misused, and just about every other player on offense is being misused or underutilized.

    None of the other backs have had success receiving this year either which tells me the problem is gase and the system, and not so much specific players.

    I wouldn't say his best routes are with him heading upfield, I don't think he's very deft at getting his upper body and head turned toward the qb while his body is going upfield..to me he seems only consistent catching the ball when he's completely facing the qb and a still position, when he's running toward the sideline, or running upfield and has to turn to get his hands in position is where he struggles....running and catching at the same time is not his forte..

    I would say he is below average as a pass catching running back..

    It’s very simple for me. Gase only went 10-6 because of Ajayi. He didn’t even feed him early on. Now that his team is falling apart and has the worst offense in the league, he’s using Ajayi as a scapegoat.

    I would get rid of Gase before I ever got rid of Ajayi. I never even wanted the guy. We’ll all see how things shake out through his time with us.

    The operative word is “carried,” as in past tense. I’d rather hold onto him knowing his potential than dump him for a late 4th rounder. Since when is it a good idea to sell low? We only spent a 5th round pick for the guy, he went to the Pro Bowl and I’m the one having a knee jerk reaction?

    That’s not a backhand. That’s giving props to a potential HOFer. Notice how you didn’t emphasize “Yeah, that’s why Eric is who he is.” What is he? A 4 time Pro Bowler.

    You're wrong. He says he knows as much about the offense as anyone NOT on the team. That is an insult. Praising him first is what makes it backhanded.

    How is that an insult? He’s a great defensive player that isn’t on our team. Great defensive players identify weaknesses in offenses and take advantage of them.

    ....with our 3rd string QB, our top receiver out, and two of our top linemen out. So even though you have a RB that does whatever he feels like, you're supposed to design more plays around him to try and get him the ball in space? I think the better answer is investing in players that invest in the team and play with that "next up" philosophy.

    The more time I think about this, the more I'm convinced that getting rid of Ajayi was the smartest possible move. I guess we'll find out this coming Sunday though.

    He's saying people not in the room or on the team don't really know what they're talking about in regards to who is screwing up.

    Think of it like this:

    I've never been to Tom Hanks' house.
    So, if I made a comment about how terrible his house was decorated...he could say,

    He knows my decor probably as well as anyone outside this house

    Do you think Tom Hanks, in this instance, is complimenting me and acknowledging my expertise?

    You’re overthinking it.

    Defensive players study opposing teams’ offenses. Eric Weddle is a 4 time Pro Bowler. It was a compliment.

    For the sake of argument, let's say that you at one time were the lead decorator for Alec Baldwin's house. Your opinion still would be irrelevant.

    Those two are not the same. A diva is a "look at me, I'm the best" attitude, like Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson or Terrell Owens, usually a skill position on offense drawing as much attention to himself off the field as he can. What Suh does(and what I like about this defense) is between the whistles. You don't hear them bringing attention to themselves except through their play only. The team defense is physical, some may call it dirty, but in no way would I call it flamboyant or attention seeking. They play hard, fast, and to the whistle.

    Yes, his be
    Yes, his best routes are with him heading up field or with momentum going forward, not sideways, only routes we threw to him this year were short flat routes to the sidelines with his back to the QB and a defender all over him.

    Again he is better catching over the middle, If you are going throw to him in the flats make sure it's a reverse curl type route where he catches the ball looking up field and ready to burst forward.

    So when he stomps on Rodgers or chokes Mallet because he’s frustrated, he’s not being a diva? He clearly can’t handle his emotions and acts out at his team’s expense the same way your typical WR does.

    Maybe this team needs a large handful of other players to be emotional jacked up and show they actually give a s**t....

    Instead of them clinging to being the victims and failures...Sometimes a little pissed off is a good thing....

    Diva: a self-important person who is temperamental and difficult to please (typically used of a woman).

    When Suh stomps or chokes opponents because he’s frustrated, that’s selfish and puts your team in a bad position.

    I honestly like it when Suh is stomping on and choking his opponents. I’m glad that Tannehill doesn’t have to face this guy 2 times a year. I’d love to see him sack Brady and then stomp on his right hand. I think that I saw him throw a punch in the last game lol.

    he struggles with those routes as well...he cant get separation in route.this is a silly debate Hit8..

    the most glaring weakness about him in terms of pass catching is he doesn't gain separation on a linebacker, so really he is not threat..

    The fact he keeps saying that is not a compliment going on a year now crack me up. He's saying Weddle is one of the most knowledgeable people in the world, outside the team, about his offense. If Peyton Manning took apart our defense and Gase said the same thing, it's obviously a compliment. These guys crack me up. If Bill Belichick says Zach Thomas knew the Patriots offense better than anyone not on the team, that's an insult? I'm dying here. That is so ridiculous it's funny.

    And that's why he ignored, "Yeah that's why Eric is who he is." Who is Eric? One of the better defensive players in a while, that's who. HOF? Not sure, but damn good. He is who he is, because he's good. He knows the offense because he was in their division.
