On Simp's post...
The zone coverage is infuriating. I know I'm very down on Diggs, but to me it's just unacceptable. Say it's three deep. You still make the play on the ball as soon as the ball goes up. And it's your job to stay deeper than the deepest man. You don't use zone as an excuse to mentally say that's not my guy and just look over at the safety. This is high school level stuff. It's not that complicated.
I wasn't watching super closely, but I do agree that Steward looked pretty good. At least the effort is there. And I think the effort is actually okay with Elam, he just isn't good. As we said when Buffalo let him go.
Agreed on Murray, too. He'll never be a smart player, he'll always be frustrating at times, but he made quite a few pretty good plays yesterday.
Agree on Williams, too. For all the praise, I think he just looks good in comparison to sorry ass Sanders. He runs hard and tries, at least, but he's not actually that impressive. I think it's been so long since we saw a good back, we forgot what one looks like. If/when he gets banged up we are beyond screwed.
I bet we make a trade for some back at some point, I just hope it's a halfway decent move and we don't throw away a good pick on this team that's probably going nowhere anyway. I really want to know who stumped for Sanders, whose idea it was to go ultra cheap at RB, and who on the team still thinks Sanders can play at all. This has to be one of the more frustrating moves/non moves in a long time.
