Bengals, Rats and Chargers before our bye.
to salvage the season and push that trade with Miami down lower, we need to go into the bye on a win streak.
IMO, if we let Rudolph play and not put reins on him (see what I did there), he may progress better. Limiting his playcalling based on what we see from the sidelines or in the box isn't going to help anything. We spent a high draft pick on him and marginalizing the playbook to a handful of plays isnt what we need.
Instead, we need to go old school. Bring in the Power-I with a fullback. Rotate Conner with Samuels and Snell. Since Vance is hurt, we can still roll with 3 WRs. Which may open up the passing game. If the OL can get a push forward off the snap for run plays, we'll be better off. Can't be turnstiles up front with everyone trying to get to the safety, letting the DLs and LBs blow past.
Defensively, if we can maintain the same intensity that we showed against the 9ers, we'll be doing better than we did in previous years.
I believe Minkah will make us a better team, overall. Not sure how we're going to put him, Edmunds and Davis on the field at the same time unless it means putting Edmunds closer to the LOS. But, having too many pieces can be a good thing.
