i like that -- game on the line and he is telling his QB that he is the target

during the game, i thought that was a prayer Kyler threw -- apparently there was some thought process to it

Kyler has a history of throwing deep with the game on the line. Of course he had Hopkins, Green and Kirk on the end of some of those that come to my mind. Good to see him give a kid like McBride that chance and he delivers.

Again, one thing that holds a lot of these college TEs back once they go to the NFL is they just aren't used enough. Not shocking McBride starts breaking out when he has to play more snaps due to a washed vet getting injured.

lol, hey there are a few of us in that club PA!

I thought Murray played very well today, and I'm super excited to see MO build around him! Also for JG/NR to build a defense that will get the offense a few short fields every now and then!

Yes, there are a few of you that would attempt to come to my rescue lol. But, too many conceded when the going got too tough against the Murray haters. You were always there to support!!

Still need a WR 1. LG and Tackle with Humpries perhaps trending down. Dline run stuffers, and a CB. Between draft and FA we can fill all these areas and still add depth elsewhere.

Love the swagger. killin this guy all game

 

[Chris_Sanders]

You see Dobbs blowing it up on a good team and then struggling here in multiple close games.

Some teams elevate the guy and some guys elevate the team. The second is very rare.

Right. But McBride calling for the ball and then making a great play on it goes a long way towards earning the trust to get his number called.

 

[Vacard]

Injury experts: what were the chances of tearing his knee up like thar on a non-contact play? Was it a freak accident or was it the way he juked at the end? Did he have to change his running style for not to happen again? Because it was a non-contact play on “the best turf (grass) in the NFL” and we don’t want to see that to any of our players.

This roster needs a ton of work for sure. This doesn't change that other than we may have a young, above average NFL TE on our roster. Hopefully he continues to lock down the starting TE spot.

McBride is super athletic and can break tackles too!

Right now he’s my favorite part of our future. I think he’s only scratching the surface.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

We ran the ball a fair amount and threw the ball deep so nope it is no KK's offense

I missed most of the second quarter, did we throw 14 wide receiver screens that I didn’t see?

You forgot rb. When Connor isn’t in there it’s a severe drop off that stifles our running game.

Ingram is showing nothing.

RB is as weak as DT/IDL. Where I think only Stills is a long term answer.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I don't think the team was holding McBride back. I think McBride's confidence is the only thing that's been holding him back.

No, ertz was getting the primary TE routes both last year and this before being injured.

Right. Remember, Dobbs was throwing to Ertz a lot before his injury.

I thought about that as well. Yes a speed RB is needed but maybe the staff likes Drmarcado. Ingram can go, he’s shown nothing

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Interesting. A quick search identifies you as a top McBride hater

Really? If so it was mildly so due to performance. But I’ve wanted him to get more routes to sink or swim. Whatever.

Looks like WindCardinal is kind of a liar.

Trey Mcbride has only 129 receiving yards in 10 starts

What is wrong with this man and why was he drafted in the 2nd round?

Btw, it’s just these sort of posts that makes ASFN awful. Congrats, you achieved your goal of trolling the board.

Sad we can’t just relish the victory.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Agree. But the kid had to earn it. Targets don't come free and guys who play soft get less opportunities...up until a couple games back Trey played mostly soft. We been seeing him ramp up the effort to make the most of his opportunities the past couple games and it resulted in a game where he was trusted enough to get his number called a lot... I imagine if he keeps getting after it like this we will see lots more games where he has great stats.

“Soft” was never a word I would’ve used with mcbride. “Pressing in limited opportunities” maybe.

You didn't see that 199lb DB slap the ball out of his hands?
TE's have to play strong.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Trey literally has 10 games without Ertz last season, to show what he could do as TE1. Again, the only thing that has slowed his progress, before now, was himself.

I don’t get it. I just don’t get the urge to make one’s self feel better by tearing someone else down.
