He works hard…just no doubt about it. He’s clearly driven and motivated. I can live with whatever results on his end.

Big Dom Senior HC Onfield Babysitter

Yeah you aren’t alone on how he worded the point of view so much. But he was getting home the point of how now he is in a system.

I'm happy for Hurts. He now has a functioning system. That should be vital to his development(as long as it works lol). The defensive improvements will give him more opportunities as well

You can’t overcome everything. I’m just on the side of understanding how it wasn’t a worthy top level NFL system O last season. Frankly kind of saying pretty much not really the whole time under Siri. Think Steichen at least mixed in quality playcalling cohesion and balance to even the odds some. Without that? Hurts needs to do better. But he lost his QB coach to become an unprepared OC instead for us …under a HC that doesn’t really add value or answers. Do you really believe Hurts is just so uncoachable? Or is it the coaches weren’t giving him the quality alternatives and answers? Knowing the situation of what the D was going to do and dialing up terrible playcalls to confront it…answered the coaching failures enough to me. If they were so blind to keep calling the bad plays to counter the known D playcalls….then it’s clear they weren’t offering better checkdowns or audibles either. Siri and Johnson didn’t have the answers …but your expectations are the QB should have them over the coaches being paid to do those exact jobs?

Hopefully Hurts is being TAUGHT. He needs to "expand his horizons" now. The tush push should not be the main play of your offense,and while it works(ed) because we don't know how the new O line guys will do there). Hurts has many things to learn yet. IMO he should be farther along than he is,but you sighted some reasons why he isn't. Let's hope some things were corrected now and he can more forward. Our TOP WR's who have been locked in are counting on him as are Paris and Goedert. All players need to participate

Well we did lose Cox whom was our rock and leader on the Dline. Lost Reddick our best defender and pass rusher. This after we felt the loss of Hargave last season. Not sure how to evaluate expectations for Sidney Brown this year. But got Fangio.

This is year one in the system though you are realizing in my statement….i don’t think you did realize that was my point.

Systems can come and go,last year was bad. IDK that it could get worse as far as running a decent offense. We got away with the tush push offense. Hurts needs to involve others more frequently than he has not just last year,but since he has been our QB. Time for the gloves to come off . Barkley will help hurts ALOT

Huff is no slouch read up on him. secondary should get better all year as these rookies learn and grow. Dejean is going to be a beast someday. It will take time. Mitchell looks great already and that is a HUGE improvement. Anxious to see how Fangio uses the multi faceted guys we have. I doubt he has ever had this much versatility to work with. I hope there are some better looks now. We need stunts and blitzing more than we usually do. I am planning on being pleasantly shocked on both sides of the ball. If the O line pans out Barkley will set our ground game on fire

I’m not happy looking past those top two WRs. Especially if one goes down to ann extended injury. Parris is clearly the guy we are looking to. I’m withholding judgement on him right now. Ainias not sure if he’s ready for prime time yet. Might take him some time here to get there. Plus there are durability questions with him. John Ross just trying to be optimistic about. Think we actually need another WR. One preferably that can play outside. Becton might turn out to be that gem signing this season. Had his head up his butt so far in his career. But seems like Stout might be unlocking him. Could be a real good positive to get that huge moving mountain involved. Want to punish opponents with our RBs. I’m leaning Barkley, Shipley and Milton here. Use this physical Oline to punch the D in the mouth going forward more consistently. Then can go backwards with the passing game. It’s a mentality that especially works with our Oline personnel. Add in Goedert here also.

 The expanding of horizons I see as a coaching thing.

Let’s judge him under his first year in a real NFL offensive system. I think Hurts has been good for us. He has much to clean up…especially the turnovers last season. He took a serious pounding last year. Just shouldn’t be the case.

We got that kid from FL state. It will take time for him also,he's very rough but can be used in many ways. Agree Ainias is not ready. I'm hoping he can at least fill in 1/2 way through the season. he is also a good returner so I suspect we use him there or RB 3 who has a terrific cast to learn from

Last year wasn’t a system is the point. It was just incoherent playcalling.

Alot was self inflicted. You can't hold the ball. teams are figuring out how to force him left and he needs an answer for that which as I keep saying is doing multiple reads quickly Running left is one of his worst traits. He is not good at it. he needs to move IN the pocket more instead of just taking off after read 1. Hopefully this system will teach him how to do it

Lesser pass rush and Dline overall is how I’m seeing things. Weak LB room…what’s new? S situation is a bit murky. Kind of just set on seeing Ceedy Duce as a playmaker…but not a good tackler taking horrible angles of pursuit…plus the durability concerns. Blankenship I like…but he’s more instinctual than super athletic(at the NFL level speaking of course). So need that third S anyway. But he most likely will be the number two for several games it stretched this season. The DBs are just a very exciting group to look at. Rodger was a good pickup last season. Ringo I  like. Q and DeJean I belong in.

Nah,need to keep the guy you hate involved and mix things up. I doubt Milton plays at all at this point. Barkley should LOVE being here. We have RB's to give him breathers he didn;pt have in NY and a much better Oline even if it's not as good as last year it's still better than NY. Barkley doesn't need to be 4/5ths of the offense now

This goes into the predictability of our O last season. Plus the lack of coaching answers to these predictable D looks we faced. Hurts made mistakes and such…but after you face the first two truths pretty well explains things. He had to escape pressure way too much with the talent on our Oline. Think I’ve beat this point to death of how the Ds had the book so clearly on our O last year and we never had any adjustments. You blame Hurts. I didn’t see any playcalling or coaching adjustments or answers occurring.

We have some versatile guys. Just clog up the middle of the field,they don't need to be stars

But let’s use that Oline and get physical on our opponents. Get that huge beef going forward with RBs that are looking to punish those DBs when they get to that level. Saquan and Milton can punish those S and CBs. Watch and notice how a DB plays after he gets punched in the mouth by a physical back.

Clog up the middle how are you talking about here? Just didn’t quite get your point if you could explain it a bit more to me about whom you’re referring. LBs? Interior Dline? S?

Execute. if you have 4 plays execute them to perfection and you can't be stopped. Hurts reads need to be faster on reads and more of them,that is the step I want to see. He needs to improve on anticipating windows. He is good at short ball accuracy and when he runs,I don't want to see him falling down like a little girl as he did last year. before the big money he used t PUNISH people running,last year he just fell down. It was sad to see that regression and leaving yards on the field. So those 2 areas are what I will be looking at

I would like to see the T and I formations where Milton or Ship lead blocks for Bark. On some plays(few)reverse it to give different looks. Keep the D guessing

Yeah,you are better with D than me. Just stop the middle of the field passes. Crossing patterns are hard to defend. if you clog the middle teams will stop going there. Mostly on the LB's and S's. This is where DeJean can shine covering TE or slot routes
