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.

See I dont read that as he was FORBADE from hiring people he knew, more that he encouraged to make a broad search and if people he knew were the best then hire them, but make a broad search. Tepper is a business centric guy. The 'not allowing him' narrative doesn't make business sense. I dont think Reich ever had a solid plan in mind on how to run the team, never mind find staff that supported that.

Like FFS I get people here dont like Tepper but lets not make poo up just to fuel that hate. Everything Tepper has done this year is positive. Hell even what he did last year in the offseason was positive. I blame Reich more on putting a poor staff together that didnt work then Tepper. All Reich said last offseason was how Tepper allowed them to spend as much money as they needed to build the staff.

OP's title is not accurate to the report. SIFTS through data is verry different than CALLING plays.. SMH

Thats cause its more exciting to mock a bigger name team trading with us then us just sticking and picking. DALLAS TRADES UP!! 'click'click'click'

Well... good thing that we have a coach now that said he is looking for feedback from BY and wants to design an offence to his strengths.

Im falling for it. Im here for the ride. LETS GOOOOO!!!

You're right.. lets not get scientific.. So that said, these are his measurements. DUDES 8'5" Bruh!! (i tease)

Camera was on the ground. Set at baseboard height. That said he looks massive..

You sound fun.

Honestly the better trade was for Diontae Johnson.

He has earned every dollar of his market value.

No... I think its proven that there are a lot of talent in the 2nd round. Picking at the top of the 2nd also allows the entire front office the entire evening and next morning to evaluate the BPA or solicit trades. Personally I would be looking for a trade partner that is not taking a position of need to move down a few spots to get more draft capital. We need quantity.

meh... i dont read too much into that. A coach and a GM are not always going to agree on players. Do we know that Fitt DIDNT offer him a contract?

Typically after I see the trailer

SUCH a boring answer lol

I was soooo pumped when we drafted him. Basically everyone in the world thought we picked up a star... I havent given up hope yet...

Yeah... If Icky plays to that we have a hell of a unit.

I think Horn WILL play to his potential this coming season. So given that if CJ Henderson could as well, we would have an unbelievable CB dual.

Time to get some discussion going... As the title says, (excluding Bryce) what player would you like to see play to their 'on paper' potential?
