Im excited about this. Its all about offence this year. LETS F******* GOOOOOOO

JUAN!!

haha you guys are funny for shitting on Juan... he posts more quality content to this site then almost anyone. Poor babies need to click a link from time to time...

Bryce comes off as a confident leader. He sheltered his team in the media over and over for their bad play, just saying that 'he needed to play better'. Well gees kid, you had a terrible team around you. Now we have a better team and I expect we will see better results. I think we are going to have a lot of people posting "I was wrong about Bryce" threads this season.

In Morgan I trust. I good with any result.

red set is ok.

I enjoyed the listen. Ellis swearing at the beginning was funny. A critique: The beginning seemed a bit disjointed as it seemed like you had a million thoughts all at the same time. Also the way you started about Canales but then was like I dont want to talk about his personal life was a little weird. I mean his book is no secret, so not sure if you were referring to that or not?

Nice. That pod was a tough listen the last few times. Sounded Like Billy was going through some things.

All scouts keep receipts.. I mean they all write scouting reports. Listening to interviews of scouts that get moved or promoted, they often refence their reports on players they have scouted that they were proved right on. I think that world is all about receipts. But your right, flashing that your right when someone else was wrong is a good way to get blackballed in that current organization.

This was debated in another recent thread but I think that was over stated. I dont think he was NOT allowed to hire people he wanted, more that he was encouraged to look around the league and hire the best.. even if he didnt have a relationship with them. I think thats why there was never cohesion on the players or the system.

Yup. Reich was a bad coach for us, but I dont think hes bad coach in general. I think he got burnt out in Indy and never really recovered. Then I think he tried to over compensate for that and made a bunch of bad hires. I think your right that he tried to be trendy especially with the coaches he hired.

I listened to the presser and a few things stood out.. 1. A lot of 'why weren't we doing this before' moments. But glad to see that they are. Actually Dan Morgan sitting behind Fitt and seeing what went wrong may actually be a good thing. 2. Canales talking about how he has never been in a pass rush meeting before but is now the HC at 1st rings some alarm bells but at the same time as a HC you dont need to be master of everything. Im a Project Manager IRL and you rely on your subject matter experts to handle their responsibilities and I like that he is eager to learn but trusts his staff. 3. Getting the coaching staff and the scouts on the same page makes all the sense in the world. Canales seems so young and his giddy personality seems to reinforce that but I need to remind myself his a Pete Carrol descendant and if he can grow into that we have a helluva coach on our hands.

Dude, this isn't an all or nothing conversation. Tepper can make good decisions AND bad ones. Both can be true, but I forgot this is the internet. My bad.

I think this is lost on most people. I like the Tepper is trying to make this thing work. I like that he takes big swings. I also like that money is not a reason to keep a bad coach.
