Mangini can eat a bag of ducks. We're one of the most efficient offenses in the league and dont care what any of these asshole analysts have to say. They keep asking how sustainable it is into his second season not realizing we keep opening the passing game. The rest of the league better pray Lamar doesnt maintain this work ethic because I'm pretty damn sure were setting Lamar up to be in control of one the most explosive offenses the league has seen.

Our game plan seems to be test out a few things early then eat clock 2nd half. The one game it wasn't very successful only seems to be the Browns and everything flipped when Ingram fumbled. Some might say the Chiefs but we started off awful and still climbed back. As long as a game is within two scores were in it with guys back healthy.

Anyway, just enjoying the ride and watching this team grow.

Also sick of this running qb bs. Rg3 got hurt cause he didn't slide properly and Cams shoulder was injured in the pocket. More qbs have been hurt in the pocket than out of it.

If you watch that whole segment they sound like a bunch of whiny ass losers, Gonzalez included.

We do run a 15 play script to open the game and some teams run a script to start the opening of the second half as well. I know for a fact Kyle Shanahan does this. It's pretty common to run some sort of a 10 to 15 play script to open the game to see what is working.
 
Mangini was a terrible coach so no surprise that he's a terrible analyst. We have an historic offense right now so let the haters keep looking stupid.

Eric Mangini will come around one day. Even if he doesn't though, that's no big deal, because Jackson will continue to produce, both as a runner and a passer and the longer it takes him to admit it, the stupider it makes him look, although that doesn't take much.

Eric Mangini wasn’t that impressed by Lamar Jackson & the Ravens win over the Patriots

"If this is how you want to play football, and you want to take your QB and turn him into a running back who also happens to pass every now and then, then that’s great. You can’t sustain it."

There's a reason Eric Mangini is no longer employed by a NFL team.
 
I think the deanthony Thomas pickup is more than just competition at returner, it may also be an insurance policy for Hollywood.

We may have loved seeing the difference that a burner makes after having Hollywood back, and they aren’t necessarily looking for a great receiver or returner, but maybe just an offensive player who is really fast, so they can still present that threat if Hollywood gets hurt again.

might be that - and this is pure conjecture but i wonder if he is a potential contributor in other special teams situations - we've been losing coverage guys all year either through injury (or getting rid of bethel or chuck clark not being able to play as much on special teams) and we've been short
 
was just watching some de'anthony thomas film from pre-2018 - i dont really know how to evaluate him as a returner beyond the fact that he has a 2nd gear that not many players have but he takes risks on punt receptions which is probably why he has fumbled 4 times in the last couple of seasons - he doesnt fair catch because even when a defender contacts him at the point of the catch he backs himself to break that tackle and spring a big play - and sometimes it leads to a huge play but it also leaves him at a higher risk of fumbling

on offence he's a gadget guy - can only really do 3 things on offence:

  1. WR screen
  2. End around/jet sweep
  3. straight go route
and you know what there's potentially a place for that in this team - the problem for him is that hollywood can do all that and much more at wr
