Munchak says Fitzpatrick likely starter

Fitz lost me last week when we were down by three and after the kickoff he decided to throw a deep ball to shermans side to top it all off the pass was intended for Nate Washington so there is no justifying that throw.

 

Besides throwing it on his side, the pass was was real short. Nate could've been a better defender than what he attempted. No excuses though, Fitz should've thrown a better pass or to another wr.

 

I could justify it if it was too britt or hunter, but not to nate one of the shortest wr's on our team who cant really jump that high.

 

You crack my sh!+ up. Nate has ups and is the most reliable Wr we have.


The crime is that it was an intended long ball from a noodle armed QB to one of the best CBs in the league. Poor QB choice, and if the play called for that throw, which I wouldn't be surprised, poor play calling.

 

He's not one of the best jump ball guys we have. In fact he'd be the last person I threw a jump ball too.

 

I agree with you there, but I'm not positive it was ever intended to be a jump ball. It became a jump ball when Fitz threw it because he is Fitz and can't really throw that long. I think your point would be valid if that throw was done from the 10 yard line into the end zone.

Again, why that play was called and the decision to attempt that long ball was made is beyond me.

 

This notion of Locker being "100% healed" just after the bye is unrealistic. That knee and the hip will be a nagging injury that bothers him the rest of the season, and he will just have to toughen up and show his metal. We have to remember that this is HIS season to show who and what he is, and his play the first 3 games may not be enough to convince the new coaching staff next year (barring we make the playoffs) to not go in a different direction at QB.

 

Schwenke can't help Levitre with his cut blocks, so its on more than just Schwenke to improve the run game.

 

Not true at all. The play didnt even look that bad. I'm still not sure how he even injured his knee on that play. Regardless a month is plenty of time to heal up from that.

 

No doubt. But center is still a big piece of the puzzle.
