WFT game issues? (1 Viewer)

The WFT game looks a little sketchy now. Fitzpatrick is out for 8 weeks.

I don't know that Heinicke qualifies as a "rookie qb" but we definitely have an issue with unknown commodities.

Fitzpatrick is reportedly attempting to rehab his hip non-surgically.

We'll have 3 weeks of tape. We should be fine.

We tend to remember those rough outings and forget the ones where we have given inexperienced guys fits. Not that any loses to those guys are really forgivable but there isn’t any such thing as being snake bit by rookies. It’s just not easily forgotten when it happens. But Fitz has given us fits too (even in otherwise great years) so I’m not calling it bad news.

While historically this maybe the case, if the way the defense has played the last year and so far, I can't imagine this will be the case. The defense is now the strength of this team.

We handled Denver’s rookie qb just fine last year.

He played the playoff game against the Bucs last year, he falls in the athletic QB category.

Yeah I think that narrative of our D being flummoxed by rookie QB/DC has been on the wane last few years
- we’re less of a read/react D than a dictate flow D (more press man and getting pressure with 4 man fronts)

otoh, I’m not convinced SP is his strongest against weak opposing Ds
