  1. One of the things that makes offensive coaches like Reid and McDaniels good Is that they anticipate defensive adjustments to their attack and plan for them. I wouldn't bet on our braintrust being at that level of thinking just yet
  2. His coaching staff? If not full id say 90-95%. Mind you, if there is interference, it might not necessarily be coming from Tepper.
  3. That was Jerry Jones post Bill Parcells. I'd like to hope he's not that bad but...
  4. Edit: Changed my mind. This conversation is too silly to be part of.
  5. See above. I've said for a while that Tepper basically needs a "king of football" to run the organization while he does nothing but sit back and write checks. Maybe Morgan has that role now, but that's not enough if Morgan isn't up to the task. You need the right structure AND the right people. If you only have one or the other, it's still not good enough.
  6. Possible, but unknown. Honestly, we're still basically just one season removed from him being into everything so it's probably too soon to expect massive turnarounds. All that said, there's no guarantee Morgan is the right guy to lead the franchise. And if he isn't, hands on or hands off doesn't matter.
  7. I'm not sure anyone knows those dynamics right now. Tepper has assured everyone that he's "hands off" now. I tend to believe, BUT that doesn't guarantee everything is okay.
  8. Pacing an NFL team is an extremely difficult thing to do. Tom Coughlin used to pistol whip his guys in training camp. The result was that they nearly always started off hot, but also regularly faded down the stretch. Other coaches would go easy in the offseason and thus produce teams that looked like sh-t early but improved down the stretch. Problem being unfortunately that by the time they looked good, they were already in too big hole to dig out of. Finding that balance is EXTREMELY difficult. Plenty of coaches never do
  9. We hired Canales primarily because of his connection with Dan Morgan. Secondarily because not too many genuinely good candidates want to work for David Tepper. Could he still turn out to be good? Yes, but he dug himself a hole with this start. (that last sentence applies equally to Bryce Young)
  10. Practical Answer: Canales might be another Ron Rivera type that's either too nice or too slow to pull the trigger on firings. I get being patient, and I get wanting to give guys a chance, but when somebody does something HISTORICALLY bad, you just can't afford those things.
  11. I've said that for every game one I've seen for every team for the past fifty years.
  12. The only thing Hooker is lighting a fire to these days is all the hype he had coming out of college.
  13. End of last season he looked great. Today? Not so much. I need to see better, and I need to see CONSISTENTLY better to keep him, but one week where a load of people around him looked bad isn't enough.
  14. Yeaaaah...no. Forget practice. There's a reason he's not still with the team that drafted him.
  15. I'm not sold on Canales yet, but I'm not in "fire the coach" mode they either.
  16. No... ...but he needs a good season and this was a bad start.
  17. Those plays were bad, but he was not all bad. Said it above: The verdict based on this game would be "not good enough", but when it came to looking bad he had a LOAD of help, and still a lot of games to go
  18. A year ago I was all the way out on Bryce, then he came back to look VERY good by season's end This game, he had bad moments but overall had a LOT of help with the team looking bad. My judgment of this game: Good moments, but overall not good enough. Still just one game, though.
  19. That was his SECOND worst play. Worst play was that fourth down throw out of the end zone.
  20. That fumble should have been called down. It's not a good day but a load of things were also not his fault.
