For the 'build a great team around him' people. That does not look like a great blueprint either.

He is a subpar NFL talent and his mental abilities are nowhere near enough to bail him out. Teams should use him as an example why to let players fall in the draft. He was never a first round talent. He actually is the problem on offense. They tooled it to him and it brought out the worst of the oline and that effects the rest. They are trying to play to his stregths and it's away from wins. Play Andy in a mauler oline scheme and they win more than 1 game at this point. Out of the top 4 options they chose the worst one to bring in with the team they had set up.

I know exactly what you are talking about. She jumped and smiled when he did it. As telling as his drunk interview and he gave Mixon a dirty look when he didn't like what he was hearing.

Some are still expecting Brees lol. The runs I saw where from complete disrespect from the D. Reminded me of Thomas' receptions.

We fired Rhule and not only did worse but also very similar moves. Gonna have to wait for anything concrete. The current poostew is way too new to snap under it's massive failures yet but it's headed their way.

Sub Teddy Bridgewater territory. Game manager that doesn't allow a team to do enough to make it work. How do you build a good enough Offense like Alex Smith had when he is so limited? He would be on his 5th year option before they could build a team around his limitations...that is if they could build a team anyways. Dude is NFL chum between his limitations and the teams

Lol trial run

I predict I will sleep through this one and be very happy about my life choices.

Good. He will throw his weight around and people will leak the crap he made them do and we can all finally see who did what in this mess. All of those people have contracts so they are getting paid either way. He has no clue about how any of this works

Same

Yeah that is the quality level I have witnessed from a Tepper team. I have also witnessed that smell so what is wrong with all of us lol

Moton at LT would just be more of the same to me, I have seen enough to think ickey is better than Moton will ever be at LT. Neither are well built for this blocking scheme and I think Ickey is just a better version of the same mold while Moton has the experience. Either blow it up or waste value making players do a position change that is more damage control than an actual good idea.

Which is why I said ditch Moton and flip him over there. Whatever, just moving him to OG at this point is a huge failure because he could play LT in a different scheme.

Addicted to the need to huff fumes from a portapotty at a music festival in August.

Hard pass for me on forgoing a LT value to have him play a position that could be filled so easily every year in the draft and free agency. They should have traded him as a LT when they switched the oline scheme and he no longer fit that position.

That is what dreams are for sir

Then spend the year building up Ickey at LT and trade his but for a first. He looked worth a 1st at the end of last year. OGs shouldn't be that expensive and it's not like Ickey can't play in all schemes out there.

I think an empty stadium that still finds boos available to give is as good as they deserve. Fill the seats with homeless people that are required to chant 'sell the team' sounds fun to me. I have some tickets to contribute to that cause...

Why, both Moton and Ickey are very tradable in this scheme. Whatever, no one in charge will do anything halfway decent so it's just us blowing smoke anyways. There isn't a player on the entire roster I really would care if they traded, it's just the pain of knowing any draft assets received will be wasted in the end anyways that makes it pointless I guess.

Yup, just go with the younger and cheaper clone. Eat some of his cap and get some picks. Win win

No trade Moton as a RT at the end of the year and flip the cheaper rookie to RT, or build up his value as a LT again and just trade him for people that fit better into their desired scheme (what they should have done when they committed to it this year). The only LT option went on IR. Maybe he can do LT in this scheme next year but that is a whole other issue. As bad as he is this year, he is still the best option moving forward and if they changed the blocking scheme then it's not a huge negative like it is in their currant mess. There are plenty of OGs outside of the first, let alone top 10, to draft every year. I would rather see him get a shot at RT than LG moving forward.

So much value lost. Just run last years stuff and trade him away as a LT at the end of the year or better yet flip him to RT and unload Moton for some picks they could use to replace the OG and LT spots. I just see them ruining value if they are moving in a different direction from the guys they currently have. He can play LT, just not in this scheme and that should have a lot more value than just an OG you can find in the 3rd...with better people picking.

4 out of 5 is still way better

I liked the questions part but that's about where we split on all this.

Tool the oline to its strengths and not Bryce's and the offense gets better. That might be at Bryces expense if he can't adapt but honestly I would take that and not look back. Go back to a power run game and see if they can coach Bryce up. It's basically what you saw from Wilks last year and likely whoever they brought in to replace this coaching crew unless it's more of the same. I don't think there is enough skill, time or resources to build around Bryce with his needs. Just take what you have and try to salvage the rest. They have been operating on the inverse of that and it's 100% failure and it was all avoidable in the firdt place.
