If Nick does stay he needs to learn to evolve this offense. Not sure what that's going to entail but need to make it less predictable.

 

The one comment that the defense will figure out motion will be interesting. Forget what I was listening to but they were talking about the Dallas green bay game and how lefleur had everything flowing and so well disguised that the cowboys thought they had it figured out and the guys would run right by them.

Yeah but Kelce didn’t. So…only passive support. 

 

Not even sure what you're arguing right now.  You must have misread an earlier post of mine because you keep trying to accuse of me of saying they only have displayed passive support when I said the opposite.

Doug had and end of season PC with Lowie before getting fired.

I don't even know what Sirianni could say to Lurie at this point to save his job.  This was a big enough collapse that you can't just lay this on BJ and Desai.

Cowboys haven't fired McCarthy yet.  It's possible Jerry is checking with Belichick to see if he's interested.  Dan Quinn is interviewing elsewhere, again.  In fairness to McCarthy he runs a damn good offense; it's his in-game tomfoolery that always lets him down. 

Lol at this analogy 

 

 

Howie in recent years seems to have learned his strengths and weaknesses finally after 12 years of on the job training learning how to be an NFL GM.

Strengths: salary cap, contracts, negotiations, pre-draft/draft day trades, drafting linemen, drafting the more obvious/no-brainer picks in the top 12, signing free agents that another team scouted and coached to a proven player.

Weaknesses: drafting the defensive back 7, 1st round picks later in the round (Marcus Smith, Reagor, etc.), mid-round draft picks, holding onto aging veterans too long and extending their contracts because he can't draft to replace them, kicking the can down the road (though he's so good he manages the cap well enough to cover for it), making desperation trades at the deadline.

His tenure tried "the dream team," getting players for Chip like Marcus Smith and Josh Huff, working with Joe Douglas an outside guy brought in because he couldn't draft, giving a huge contract to Wentz after he had back to back season ending injuries then having to fix that mistake (Howie always gets praise for getting out of bad contracts...that he signed), hyperfocusing on themes or trends in a draft like speed, or now drafting from SEC/championship winning schools which is at least better than his past fixations.

Classic Howie was using 4 picks in the same draft on a WR.  He could have taken Justin Jefferson, Brandon Aiyuk, Tee Higgins, Michael Pittman...he took Reagor, Hightower, Watkins and traded for Marquise Goodman who never played and the pick was returned.

I hadn't thought about Sanders since he left. Damn he's struggling with Panthers. Went from 1269 yards to 432 yards with 1 TD

And there were some people saying he was a big loss lmfao. Dude sucked and was a product of playing behind this line. He has zero vision

The draft looks fine. Cunningham was a good signing given cost. He was correct about most of the players he let walk with the surprising exception of Marcus Epps. 

It's not the disaster of 2019.

Was Cunningham really a good signing, or were the other LBs so pathetic that a guy that didn't have teams knocking down his door right before the start of the season looked marginally better, and therefore our evaluation of him is miscalibrated?

Honestly as much as I love all these dudes, I don't care what fletch BG lane and kelce have to say about sirianni. They're on their way out, it isn't about them anymore. There's clearly an issue with him

The Kelce quote just shows how embarrassingly ill-prepared and/or incompetent Nick and Johnson are in terms of adjusting to what they're seeing from defenses.

The entire point of having an offensive scheme is to always have answers for what a defense can throw at you. It became a joke once the league adjusted and they had no idea how to come up with counter punches.

He shouldn't have let both White and Edwards walk. And likewise both CJGJ and Epps. 

And even more obvious to not let all 4 walk.   Seems rather elementary that rebuilding the entire LB corps and the safety tandem at the same time was going to be potentially troublesome down the middle of the defense.  And where was the greatest weakness... right down the middle.   Must not have been so obvious in practice though, as our offense never throws the ball there.  So, no one picked up on that nugget.

Edwards and White are better than Cunningham. CJGJ and Epps would be our best safeties. 

Im patient with draft picks, but as we sit today, is it really fine? Carter looks really good. Brown didn’t really show that much in limited time (the coaches using him as a slot did him no favors). Steen was inactive to close the year. Ringo showed some things. Did he show enough for us to count on him next year? McKee, who knows. Ojomo certainly flashed a bit and looks like a rotational piece. 

Lol. I completely forgot about Nolan Smith. He did practically nothing until the playoff game.

If there's a dressing down of Nick, there needs to be a dressing down of Howie equally. Both ought to wear dunce caps while Lurie lays down his wrath. Difference between them is I want Nick out the building and Roseman to make considered changes to his approach this offseason.

Offense has no excuse whatsoever outside of whatever hobbled Hurts. Defense just didn't have the personnel. Too much to cover up. Had to hide the LBs, CB2, Slot CB, Safety and CB1 when injured. Can't overcome that I don't care what scheme you run.

Coaching is a major problem. But like i said hurts wasn’t playing at 2022 level either.
