Bear Hands

He’s on the Bonitto plan. Situational starting out, we’ll see if he can develop beyond that. Next year will be a big tell but shouldn’t hinder us from getting a legit proven compliment to Scourton.

No particular order: OC, DC, ILB, OLB/EDGE, QB2, RB, NB, RT2, WR2/3, TE

Most likely Tmac. Henderson is the maybe No one else really should be considered. Don’t see Shough happening and Egbuka was too quiet to close the season. T McMillan was the most consistent of them all production wise.

Boswell and Loop clearly belong in the NFCS

True, Evero's thing has been Cover 2 and 3 heavy. Playcalling wise, more simulated pressures than actual blitzes. Tends not to offer many real well-timed blitzes when they do happen. I think he's a good coach, came from a few great trees and seems to be a smart dude-- but as a playcaller, I find a lot to be desired.

Evero was one of Morris' guys in LAR (just one year) so we do have a personnel and plenty of players he's familiar with. But for people who aren't fans of what we've been doing philosophically, then you probably don't want him.

Giants - Open Titans - Open ATL - Open (Morris is out. ATL rejoices) Potential Outs: Vegas - Pete C is and done? Browns - Stefanski likely out? Tampa - It's not pretty there AZ - Is Gannon safe? Safe IND - Steichen confirmed, is deservingly safe IMO. CIN - Mike Sherman's son-in-law soinds safe yet again for CIN (rumored/yikes) NYJ - Glenn is all but confirmed to get a year 2 given the terrible QB situation Any sleeper candidates?

DeJean and Frazier (among others too) though… they had their contingents (myself included). The team was so zeroed in on adding targets and we’ve barely used the two in R2 that draft (XL & Brooks) just crazy

I can see Idzik being demoted via Tepper mandate but sticking on as AHC or some BS bc he’s so tight with Canales. And we get a new DC. And we get a more competitive backup QB. If all still flutters, we’re set for a retool in 2027

Traded up into the 1st for a 4th round developmental talent over Ladd McConkey, Zach Frazier and Cooper DeJean. He may be our biggest 2nd WR blunder yet over DJ and Mingo lol

He was part of Morgan’s network and was honestly the most promising guy willing to come here. Macdonald was my preference but he had his eyes set. Steichen was possible but we screwed that up in the Reich cycle. DC has been a part of good orgs, and worked his way into the big leagues with Pete. So some good ideas, philosophies, decent coaching approach come with him. But his actual implementation and decision making has been weak.

I wouldn't typically call this out, but the amount of people wanting to keep Dowdle after his boom stretch was insane. He is nothing special and will be 28 next year. Next. Hubbard kind of blows. We have an out this offseason with him, I see it taken. Next. Onto another attempt at a committee. Draft/FA/Brooks/Etienne

I was just saying that out of how obvious it is. Really need a guy that can cut and accelerate with that extra punch. Lemon would be a complimentary guy but doubt we go WR high yet again.

No way

He's much more Matt Moore or Carr level than the few guys who can say were at one point our franchise QBs. Collins/Steve/Jake/Cam. It sucks. But he's gonna be here next year so it's gonna be a whole thing again lol.

We should honestly just cut XL this offseason. He's like AJ Jenkins level crap

Player wise, I think XL, Corbett, Dowdle, Scott and Rozeboom's tenures have all effectively ended.

It was the case even at Bama. He stalled out way more than you would expect in college. Insane stats, but drive-to-drive was a rollercoaster. He had a lot of just dead drives, but because he didn't take sacks and didn't make crazy INTs, it never set them back. The D was good enough to bide time until the big plays came through. It's really time to end this. We won't, so I don't really know how to feel about 2026. It's getting messy yet again bc Canales is absolutely not the guy.

The final 2 weeks this year was coaching no doubt. I'm 100% out on Canales. It was that bad. I honestly don't understand how we managed some of our wins this year looking back, but its about how you finish. This was terrible, uninspired football with everything on the line. 2 weeks in a row and we can't execute simple passing concepts that allow easy completions. The players didn't have the discipline, the energy. It's very much on coaching and the lack of real vet captains. This team is void of real leadership, coaching, and top-level talent. And its been year and after year w/ high draft pick, and we get this crap when it's finally meaningful. They've proven to be a Jets/Browns level org. And it wasn't on the little guy, but he's still not it.

This was essentially our second playoff game in a row. And it was another laughable performance, refs or not. Shame on the entire org. There's no excuse to have our final 2 games, with everything on the line have virtually no offense to speak of.

We only had to score 17 tonight. Running game didn't work, honestly, the OL had some weird energy. There's the loss because nothing else really dropped the ball. It's just that we rely on a successful Run-O THAT much: -The defense bent, didn't break, had a takeaway, but the opposing team was able to make longer suffocating drives. Just needed 17 to win tonight. -Bryce had some bad moments sprinkled in with good (but not good enough) - par for the course there. A bad giveaway, some decent touch passes, but nothing special. -Some drops and bad route running -Bad situational play calls on both sides of the ball We couldn't control the clock, had some crap calls that our crappy performance made too much of a factor.

Most likely; did you gather I was trying to hype him? He did have a pretty/underrated deep ball. And 05 was a nice year given the era the league was in, but you know, he was who he was. And he had a connection with Smitty. 08/09 was when we should’ve had a new QB and could’ve run the table. To this day, his Cards debacle is still more of a wound than our Den SB loss.

JFC he still hasn’t even passed for 3k. Delhomme did like what 3200 in 15.5 games his first year here.

I wouldn't call it a hyperfocus, they factor into eval. All part of a bigger picture.

I'd say the height issue is a problem here, but overplayed in the greater context. If a guy is 6'0 but a stud, then why not, but absolutely stay away from anything once you get into the 5' range. That's where you get into legitimate physical limitation territory. One thing guys like BY/Kyler/Russ run into- you want a guy that's able to fully survey the field at all levels in the pocket, and they can't, have to modify the traditional style to do so. They can make runs/have good teams really help prop them, but when it comes time to put the team on their back in the pocket, it's rather difficult.
