The Sam Howell Thread

Putting in Brissett now doesn't mean you're giving up on Howell forever. But like others have pointed out, this OL might be the worst in pro football, and Howell is getting brutalized every game. 40 sacks in seven games. He's on pace to shatter the NFL record of 76 sacks, suffered by David Carr in 2002. At some point, probably right now, they are running the risk of ruining his career by continuing to keep him in there.

I say shut down Howell for the rest of the season and see if anything is different for Brissett. I doubt it will be, but you are saving your potential franchise QB from injury and killing his confidence..

I say reshuffle the line, it’s only been 7 games to give up on the season.

For the fans it's been 23 years and 7 games. Sometimes it's hard to take anymore of this crap for another minute.

But, yes, reshuffle the OL and somebody tell JDR that's it's OK to blitz and to disguise his coverages.

I’ve been a loyal fan since 1971 and it will not change. I’ve seen enough shit through the years, Howell needs help in the OL and play calling, not benching.

An interesting article on Howell. Sacks have been a problem for him since he was in college.

If he starts out slow this week I'd put in Jacoby. Had the Giants caught that walk in INT Ron should have sat him. That was an inexcusable pass.

While I'm not giving up on Sam, it may be time to pull him and see what JB can do. Save Sam from the humiliation of shattering the sack record and protect him from getting hurt. EB is going to ruin this kid.

EB has been coaching up Howell to just get rid of the damn football.....I think his best bet is to start over throwing the ball towards a covered receiver for incompletions instead of taking these needless sacks.

Against the Giants Sam didn’t even have time to take a three step drop and they were all over him.

Sit him down and wait until we have a real coaching staff and at least one olineman whose spirit animal isn’t a turnstile.

On the first two sacks he sure did. Sack 1 he took about 5 seconds before getting hit. Both Samuel and Dotson were open. The second was much less time, but looked as thought it was a designed screen to Gibson. only took 2.5 seconds, but for whatever reason Howell didn't throw the ball. Gibson was wide open and would have had at least 10 yards to run before anyone was near him. Had he hit on both of those 2, it would have put the Giants back on their heals a bit which would by default give a little more time. It most Likely would have had NYG running less blitzes too as the first two would have been beaten!
