Quote:They are 12th and 15th respectively in terms of yards vs. the entire NFL.  I think those calling for the need for a "true #1" need to realize, we may have 2!  ARob leads the entire NFL in YPC.  It's crazy this offense can't score points.

 

Thank you...  Look, it's OK to be critical of this team and the direction it has been going since the rebuild.  But I've been railing against this since the beginning of the season when people were lamenting not getting a veteran WR.  These guys are good and they are already demonstrating professionalism.  They both have been getting better with each game.  There's only so much a WR can do...  When you have a coa.....   Nope, I'm not turning this into a Gus sucks thread...  These guys are good.  They will maintain it...  As time goes on, we're gonna love these two tandems...  It's just a matter of time...  Maybe a year or 2...  But they are legit.  

Are they megatron?  No, but who is?  Are they Dez?  Maybe...  You guys gotta remember, Dez was a dumpster fire for his first 3 years...  Seriously, does anyone remember that monday night game with Dez where he just quit on a route for a pick six against the giants?  That was like his second year...  These guys are gonna be good.  They need someone to push harder, but they are good!  I'd take these two over most other WR tandems in the league...

 

 

Quote:Also Bortles is second in the league in total yards from deep passes at 404. His 11 completions on those passes leads the league. Bortles is really good at the play action deep pass. He should have had 80 more if not for Robinson trying to high point the ball instead of running through the catch.

 

Agreed!  We need more PA passing plays...  Especially since we are being sniffed out for running when the D stacks the box, PA pass more!!!  Gus will (hopefully) realize that and let slip the hounds of war.

 

Quote:It's the red zone. Its more horrible play calling in the red zone than execution.

 

Let's not turn this into another Gus sucks forum...  This is about positives.  Here's one....  We rarely sniffed the opponents 30 yard line in previous years...  We're getting into the red zone consistantly now...  In the first half...

 

Quote:Linder out for the year, plus Joeckel is still playing, I'm not sure what is "solid" about our o line. First pick in the draft next year will either be an O Lineman or a CB. It's abysmal running a talent like Yeldon into nothing but crap play after play hoping he takes over and does something on his own. 

 

I know Joeckel is the whipping boy du jour...  But he's not a liability.  Matter of fact, the Pass Protection is not a liability at all this year.  Yes, there are hurries and rushes...  But BB5 is getting time.  That's why AR and Burns are getting such good YPC...  

 

I think the run blocking leaves something to be desired...  But that will also come.  You mention LInder being out for the season.  That I think is also a positive, because I thought the O-Line did well in his absense against the clots...
