We're asking a lot of the rookie. I hope he understands the "playBook". I wish him all the best.

I’m sick of this Covid ****. I’m supposed to go on a cruise Saturday and Saturday if for whatever reason I don’t make it it’s gonna be the FIFTH time I have to reschedule. I guarantee I’m gonna test positive even though I just got my booster, it’s just my luck.
At least it’s getting predictable, I’m just going to start scheduling things during the months that correlate with low numbers. Probably should buy up a **** ton of stock in the middle of a wave and sell when the curve is low. I’m gonna find a way to practice fit off this ****.
Btw Book and Chapter could have made for a much cooler title for this thread.

Good luck to the guy, I hope he does well for us but what a lot of pressure on such young shoulders!

We've really done something this season to upset the football Gods!

Although, we were supposed to get thrashed in our last game as I recall, so who knows!

GEAUX SAINTS! WHO DAT!

This is almost going to be a 4th quarter of a preseason game for us. Ian Book at QB and let’s look at the O-Line:

LT- James Hurst
LG- Calvin Throckmorton
C-Eric McCoy
RG- Cesar Ruiz
RT- Caleb Benenoch

Are we going to protect him by using more 12 personnel? Nope… Nick Vannett is the only TE we have available.

Sounds like what we say about a young QB before he goes off for 320 and 4 TDs passing against us.

Coaches need to do overtime in the film room to show where the Blitz will be coming from and who his immediate outlet receiver is, because the dolphins will be coming after him.

The immediate outlet receiver is likely to either (a) be covered or (b) drop the ball.

Dominus Ominous just throw the bombinus...

Maybe we could run some trick plays where we make our tackles or guards eligible. They are likely to be ‘open’ on most plays where our receivers wont be. They are likely to get a lot of separation.

Exactly.
Don’t let Guido see that or he will argue that it doesn’t happen. I made the same statement last year before we played the Eagles. And the year before that, and the year before that.
Our defense just can’t defend rookie/backup/****ty Qb it seems.
