Wow! Great clip. Thanks for posting. I can't stop watching it.

Bad:
The run game overall. But, here is something specific I've noticed since the preseason.

Compton, despite being a very good run blocker, hurts more then helps the run game when he plays TE.

Whenever Compton comes in at TE the defense KNOWS it a run.

Last game: He came in at TE 5 times by my count for a total of 6 yards gained.
Thats 1.2 ypc on run plays with Compton at TE. 3 of those runs were for no gain.

Whenever it's first down for the Skins the defense knows it's a run.

They gotta sit down and get some honest self scouting going....identify and break their own tendencies.

One tendency I've been saying for awhile is too heavy with the 1st down runs and 2nd down pass.

I finally looked up the 2nd downs from (markbullock's spreadsheet) 339 2nd down plays.

235 passes
104 runs

If my math is correct thats 31% run vs 69% pass on 2nd down.

We are way too predictable. Atlanta was running two big, fat defensive linemen onto the field for first down and right back off the field, replaced by pass rushers, on second down all game long until the 4th Qtr.

He looks like he's doing 2 positions at once, maybe that's why Moses is looking good. What a beast.

I dare say it's Litchenessitgieriietiger that needs a look in the off-season. Reading how good he is at making line calls but how poorly he's been graded each week. If we get pressure it IS often up the gut.

We need a bigger, stronger center in the mold of Mack, Frederick, and Mangold but center is not at the top of our list of needs, IMO.

Couldnt agree more. Everytime the floodgates open it is rite up the middle. We need to draft a C this offseason. Its very high up there on my team needs list.

I'd like:

2 OL, 1 veteran, 1 drafted
2 TE, 1 veteran, 1 drafted
1 WR, Drafted, 1st/2nd round big play type receiver
1 LB Drafted
2 DB, Drafted, 1 1st/2nd round caliber, 1 late/mid round steal

I think we have 8 picks as of now for 2016 so this is very do able and I think with Scot this would put us in very good shape and leaves him a few picks to play with as well.

Totally agree with your positions of need 100%. Im hoping qb is not one of them. Ill reserve judgement on that until after the season is over.

I don't think there are any more than 1 or 2 QB's in this draft but if someone with a lot of upside falls to the 4th or 5th round that could fit in at #3 and possibly #2 if we let Colt go elsewhere. I'd take one. Although I do think a veteran would help Kirk. You may notice I strongly value a mix of youth and veteran players at each position.
