6 hours ago6 hr Just now, LeanMeanGM said:I think Tank freelances a bit in that he see’s what’s open and heads that way but not necessarily what the play call dictates. Which might explain coaches reluctance to play him as much as they shouldI think they are just stubbornly riding Barkley because of the money they are paying him mostly. Aided by the fact that he has been able to stay healthy and handle the load. And sprinkle in a solid helping of "sticking with what worked" although its a season removed they feel feeding Barkley is a recipe for success. And then the slightest pinch of- what if our #2 RB actually outperforms our highly paid RB this year?I think the least likely explanation for his lack of carries is that he is maximizing each of his runs. Freelancing is more of a bad thing when it doesnt work out as often, like Bryce Brown wanting to bounce everything outside.
6 hours ago6 hr That ball was definitely not juggled. Awesome catch. Rams just did what eagles did all year. Drive killing 3rd down penalty.
6 hours ago6 hr Ineligible man downfield when the play starts at the 1 yard line seems incredibly ticky tack

I will defer to your superior knowledge, experience and understanding of coaching and leadership....lol.It's a common problem you have to deal with effectively if you manage people. I'm not trying to make you feel bad, or even claim superiority. It more has to do with the fact that there's really not a lot of people who take the time to stop and think about people problems at that level. Anyone can do it, I just take the time to more than most. People becoming mentally conditioned is a significant occurrence, and it happens in all industries (I know football isn't an industry but you get the point).
6 hours ago6 hr 39 minutes ago, HazletonEagle said:Its odd that the very pro hurts people defend him as if winning is the end all be all and style points dont matter, and then the same standards to not apply to the coach. I argue that while both are benefitting from a supremely talented roster, its still a harder job for Siri to coach it, than for Jalen to play with and be lifted by it.Siri makes it all work together on and off the field. And he keeps the locker room together in spite of years of passing game struggles with elite WRs who want the ball. An offense who is let down by the defense in some years, and a defense who is let down by the offense this year. You never heard a single defender complain about the offense putting them in horrible positions and wearing them out. Even this year, if they manage to turn it around- wow.To win the super bowl last year after their collapse the year before. Team looked unfixable. He took that team to the super bowl.At times his decisions to go for a 4th down or kick a FG are questionable. Other times they look perfectly calculated. This year theres a lot to question with the offense.Overall, there is a heck of a lot of elite characteristics he brings to the HC position, and weaknesses have not prevented him from being pretty historically successful, going to super bowls, winning 1 so far. All with a pretty flawed QB.You can probably argue- the more talented the team, the harder it is to coach. With the talent, come the egos. AJ Brown has not torn it apart. Gardner-Johnson did not tear it apart. Bradberry left NYG over ego, and ended up taking on a player coach role by the end here. Jahan Dotson quietly accepted his role getting less than 1 target a game despite his talent and pedigree. Bigsby has not complained about getting relegated to KR duties, and even now still getting minimal touches on offense. Ringo and Sydney Brown keep accepting their role on the bench, and STs when they both thought more of themselves. Theyre getting Jordan Davis motivated. Theyre keeping Jalen Carter out of trouble. Players are bought in to Fangio's defense when Miami wouldnt get the personalities to jive.Siri hate that happens in here is literally insane. Even being lukewarm on him doesnt make much sense to me.Yes I know sometimes his game day decisions dont work out. But hes no James Franklin out there single handedly losing games for his team. We saw Dan Campbell lose that game against us with repeated failed 4th down calls, and passing on FG opportunities. Fans in here still love him. I bet a lot would have him over Siri. McVay and Shanahan lose games for their teams being too conservative in the same kind of moments fans complain about Siri being too aggressive. Siri has had more success doing the opposite of what fans want than the guys the fans would prefer over him.Siri is an incredible leader…but he’s pretty not good with X’s and O’s. Game day decision making is questionable at best most of the time.I still think Dean saved his job last year with that INT against Jax to end the game. That was one of the most horribly coached games i had ever witnessed. Super Bowl victory swept a lot under the rug.

Those things happened and are part of Siri's successes.Also have stated how all of the great coaches have had their blind spots and flaws. Siri has proven in his record that he is good enough to overcome any perceived weaknesses. Just as well, its still very debatable how much the Xs and Os are really all his fault.

A lot of his history is working with standard drop back passers who can consistently make average NFL reads and throw to average NFL windows comfortably. Jalen is an extremely different type of QB than his prototype. He's not a Shanahan, so it's not surprising he struggles. Most average guys at X's and O's would struggle in those situations, because they rely on the design and knowledge of their systems to compensate for the lack of ability to create new things on the fly.

Very possible a lot of people dont realize that as flawed as this offense has pretty consistently looked, the fact that its been at a super bowl capable level with all its flaws is a YUGE credit to Siri's Xs and Os acumen considering the QB he has had to work with.
6 hours ago6 hr I wanted the rams to get a TD after they were screwed out of on last drive, but I felt like it would have been a win to be in a 1 point game at this point rather than risking a failed 4th down attempt.Bad penalty there but may have saved them.

He’s far from horrible but at the end of the day he’s an O minded coach and outside of the anomaly that was 23, his O’s have struggled badly without a record or near record setting running game. They go non existent for halves often and need the D to stand on their heads often. The passing game has always been big play or nothing really. It’s frustrating and no matter your thoughts on the QB, the team is a reflection of him.
6 hours ago6 hr I just find McVay to be too conservative in his decision making. Michaels pretty much summed it up...McVay must be counting on a close game.

The fact that Siri has constructed an offense around this QB flawed but functional enough to win a super bowl could be quite the compliment to Siri. He might just be an X and O genius.

Very few QB’s (if any ever) could survive in his system without McCaffery. He knows X’s and O’s…he can play design all day, but he can not call a game without his bell cow. He’s too all over with what he tries to do. It’s impossible for a QB to settle.
