Was hurt in the SB and our Oline that was exactly the same didn’t deliver RB production. I mean, not theoretical here, it actually happened. We saw this Oline not carry Gainwell to success cost us the parade. Ironically our offense put up 35 points? Plus the other 2 playoff games were 31 and 38.

Yeah...that's why the 2026 extension... try to get him to play then instead of retirement after 2025. I agree with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rework the contract to save current cap space.. not necessary to give the extension. That part didn't effect the cap space. Also believe he needs to play 2026 to get that new $$$.

Yet all that and he won't be on the 2024 roster? I’m not guaranteeing he’s on the 2023 roster. One step at a time. Team was in the position of Gainwell taking over the lead load. They grabbed Penny. Then traded for Swift. Not coming off as any ringing endorsement of faith in relying on Gainwell. He’s third stringer that became second string last season. My opinion is he looks to be third or fourth string currently. Guy hasn’t done squat. Think he’s fighting fir a roster spot with Sermon, Brooks,Scott….my dreams of them even adding one more quality RB drops him right off the team instantly.

The rest of the world knows Gainwell is here 2 more years. Maybe read the article from Grotz. But anyway...can't wait for this season. Love the schedule... love the competition. Love the vets going for it one more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joemas6 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Hurts to Gainwell connection and chemistry. If we get Gainwell cheap, that could be a nice connection for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siri has plenty to be praised for. Guy loves football it seems. Works hard. But far from perfect. Started the job terribly. Gave over playcalling and we improved drastically. But we just will never know if Scott would have paid off enough. I do judge that Sanders they stuck with too much. Not roasting for giving him a go. But he didn’t have it. Saw it right off the bat. That adjustment was too slow. Bad call there. So clearly wasn’t on point with perfect decision making in the RB usage area. Gainwell wasn’t effective. So maybe Scott wouldn’t have been either. But I just see things as nobody believing or wanting Scott. He had to fight and earn everything the hard way. Forced his way to not be denied. Siri didn’t try him in that game though. Others failed. Fair to question as I see it. Scott just underrated player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siri never was on board liking Sanders from day one. His situational screw ups were arguably the straw that sent him out I think. Blocking was never good. I can say plenty of praise about the guy…but he also would run out of bounds when we are trying to grind out the clock. Too much dumb stuff at the end. But Rosie just isn’t going to pay a RB either.

Fumble in the Superbowl....really could have been 2. Just nothing special. They really forced him the ball to get the stats last year... where you can easily see the year before where he didn't get the ball as much but team overall ran better. Adding 2 guys in Penny ( who I see as the Jordan Howard replacement) ...Swift who adds to the passing game. Obviously they like the 2023 room much better. Especially with Gainwell stepping up come at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would point you towards how you are forgetting in the big playoff game what happened. RBs were terrible against the Bucs. Scott busted a 34 yarder. Otherwise like 2 yards a carry. Are we saying RBs are better over season long stats. Is all the fourth quarter blowout yardage what we are looking for? Or are we talking about when you gotta deliver in a big game? I’m speaking more about the important needed moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
