Wilks love fest with Edmonds?

[SweetD]

3rd and 2 and you run Edmonds... really that play lost us this game.

I don't get why Wilks has Edmonds start every half for the first full drive. I get he drafted the kid but really we have David Johnson!!

You don't need a change of pace when you are not running the ball.

It was such a horrible idea that fans are racing each other to post about this.

Horrible.

The audible out of that play must have been a curl route to Chad Williams, since that is the only reason I can fathom running that play.

 

[juza76]

we suck in run blocking, didnt change much either with dj
look at dj pedestrian stats this season
berely get 3 yards for run
they should call a paas on third down or qb sneak

Consolidate the Edmonds threads. There will be many

Inexcusable play call. You have DAVID FREAKING JOHNSON and you trot out Edmonds on a 3rd and 2 where you still have a chance to win the game? NO EXCUSE.

I have zero confidence in this coaching staff. NONE!

 

[Big D]

Infuriating. That series he benched DJ31 for Edmonds as DJ protested on the sideline only to be shooed away... wow just wow. Entire momentum of the game changed after that

I still can't believe he ran it there and did not give the ball to David Freaking Johnson... I'm afraid I'm right there with you.

There were a couple of just total head scratcher coaching decisions in this game that have shaken my faith/optimism that this regime will be here long.

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

Imagine how confident Rosen would be if we had picked up a couple first downs and won

 

[Bert]

I wonder how Mike B feels after giving his best player that huge extension only so his new head coach can make him sit on the bench....

 

[AZfaninMN]

IMO it didn’t matter if DJ or even Jim Brown was in the backfield on that play. It was a terrible call. Slow developing run on 3rd and 2

One thing with Josh he does NOT lack confidence. I'm sure even with the pick and the called back picksix that is still the case.

if he doesn't start next week I'm furious. He didn't play out of this world great but he looked far more comfortable in the pocket than Sam does and I got the impression the team seemed energized with him in there.

I don't want to see Bradford start again this year.

That's not the point. You give the ball to your best player in that situation. You dont give it to the scrub rookie who sidesteps on every run rather than going downhill.

Wilks appears to be exactly like BA where he has his favorites and he will play them over others no matter how much it hurts the team.

DJ was pissed and I dont blame him. This is a joke.

If one of our local reporters doesn't ask Wilks why DJ wasn't in the game at the end they have zero balls.

I agree DJ NEEDS to be in the game on that play. I’m just saying edmunds was set up for failure on that play from the beginning

 

[Proximo]

another idiotic coaching move was calling timeout with 30 seconds left in the first half and punting instead of running the clock down to 4 and trying the 57 yd field goal.

Dawson could have made that and that would have won the game.

This is how you lose a locker room.

indeed

 

[SweetD]

Well we can see why Larry put his house up for sell. They maybe blowing this team up soon.

 

[Mainstreet]

He took a long time before deciding to hire Wilks.

 

[Cheesebeef]

besides that being one of the single dumbest plays I've have ever seen, can anyone tell me why the frack we took a timeout with 39 seconds on fourth down in the first half giving the bears time to try and score if they wanted?

These two should never be compared. Johnson put up 2000 and 20 in his last full year with Arians.

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

Wilks got defensive about it in the presser. He sure loves Edmonds

if he can't just flat admit it was a mistake, his ass should be fired before he can screw up Rosen. Same with McCoy.

Even more indefensible then the edmunds play because there was no logic. They gave away a scoring opportunity and gave the bears the ball back for no reason. Even the Edmunds run as bad as it was and it was horrible could have technically worked.

 

[iLLmatiC]

This is how you lose a locker room.

We have enough veterans who have been on this team long enough that Michael listens to I'm sure. The sooner we can get away from this coaching staff, the better.
