I read that they were pissed at Ballard. They really don’t comment on Reich’s coaching style but how he handled the wentz situation.

Nothing I wrote was about the team… it was all about stroud? What are you referring to that led you to believe I was speaking to the Buckeyes?

Fun conversation about Reich on Colts Reddit:

After relentlessly watching 20+ hours of footage of Stroud …. I’d caution everyone to look through the sparkliness… Stroud has some great qualities… but the pieces he needs to work on the most will be damning at the NFL level. first, arm strength. He has a teddy arm… accurate but don’t expect him to be able to put it deep consistently. You can see in the video that he has about 5-6 underthrown balls… the same type of balls that if darnold threw them, the huddle would be tearing him to shreds. Stroud should not get a free pass either. second, and this is a big one… Stroud has a small case of the yips. If you were to choose to examine every micro second of each of his throws… you’ll notice he has this hesitation problem, as if he second guessing his decision. In college, you will be fine most of the time bc the elite talent on OSU helps make up for that gap. However, at the NFL level this cost football games. I don’t know what it is… but stroud just hesitates on some of his throws Third, in that game specifically, stroud made plays happen through improv moments. He deserves credit for that, and it’s a great quality to have. However, why do you have to have that moment? Why did you abandon your progressions? Why did you slide right when the strong side of your receivers were going left? Stroud puts himself into multiple situations where you have to ask.. “what did you feel in the pocket that made you drift/float in that direction?” OSU does run a moving pocket type of offense, so on plays that it’s intentional, it makes sense. This is the exact issue Baker had last year, he would create sacks on his own by losing pocket awareness. these are all observations and pieces that scouts will be reviewing and asking during his combine. I will say that I don’t believe Stroud has the accelerated vision that Reich brought up. But I’m just an opinion on the internet, nothing more and nothing less.

Side note; just ran into Scott Fitterer at the CLT airport. Shared some excitement and I asked who’s next at coordinator? He said “you will find this week” and smiled. That was it.

I don’t see 2023 Tepper in the same light that I do in 2020 Tepper. He has done a lot of good things lately. From his apology and humility demonstration, providing to the community, putting his players first during the death of Anton Wilkes, and making a sensical hire in Reich. He has made a lot of progress as a person as well as an NFL owner, and I’m not one who is going to take that away from him. He is also about to go into a head to head against the NFL in their hiring practices with his comments yesterday. I wish him luck.

I mean, if there is a spot on the coaching staff that Reich feels McAdoo would fit well… then I don’t see the issue. The guy didn’t perform horribly for us. He actually did well with what he had after Rhule left. He didn’t face plant. He just did not have it when came to route concepts. Reich is here for that now though.

im never one to be the grammar police, but the irony of the statement is hard to ignore.

Im guessing no one caught the comment about running a zone blocking scheme from Reich? Thats a huge change for us. If im not mistaken... we havent tried a true ZBS since 2007 under Davidson.

Did he just leak that we are going to run a zone blocking scheme?!?

My man avoiding the question about the playing field.. i appreciate that. That isnt his problem to solve.

I can see how Reich won the interview process.

Im sure every coach will say the same thing but with a little sprinkle of personality. Take Coach Campbell for instance.... lets not forget his glorious intro speech. Also, Sirianni's was really fuging weird as well.

jesus.

It's coachspeak, all coaches say the same thing in different ways. Its about the execution though.

JEFF NIXONOC, CAROLINA PANTHERS Cowboys will interview Panthers running backs coach Jeff Nixon for the team's offensive coordinator vacancy. Nixon took over offensive play calling for the Panthers in 2021 after OC Joe Brady was fired by Matt Rhule. Nixon, 48, interviewed for offensive coordinator openings in Vegas and Jacksonville last year. One of the run heaviest teams in recent NFL history, the 2022 Panthers had two efficient backs (D'Onta Foreman and Chubba Hubbard) after Christian McCaffrey was traded to the 49ers. Carolina ranked seventh in rush EPA over the season's final eight weeks. Hiring Nixon could be a signal that Mike McCarthy wants to get back to basics in 2023 with a decidedly run-first scheme.

Not sure if this was posted but yikes

i was joking around

What about McAdoo????

I dont know why you are taking this so peronsally, but yes enjoy the game.

not once did I use the word "bad" ... you came up with that on your own.

I am not sure why you feel this is an argument. I stated that the Eagles have given up the same amount of sacks as the Bengals. 44. The Eagles have given up the 11th most sacks in the NFL. They give up sacks. However, you think thats my expertise... and suggest that PFF grades means this isnt true... this is a really weird debate.

I dont know how PFF is going to tell that those sacks werent real... The eagles give up sacks... PFF isnt going to change that.

Its all speculation at this point, but we are a mere 3 weeks removed from when the 100% heatlhy Eagles oline gave us 6 sacks in a single game. The Eagles didnt pass a lot bc Hurts arm just isnt right. He overthrew multiple recievers and his accuracy was off. That was pretty evident. I'd take Mahomes with a bum ankle over any QB with a bum shoulder. KC gave up less sacks per game than the 49ers did. KC has the top 3 offensive line in the NFL this year. So stating 49ers have a better line isnt backed by the statisitics. KC gave up an average of 1.5 sacks per game while the 49ers gave up 1.9. I'd have to say that the Eagles being favored right now will change next week. Today Andy Reid intentionally did not give an injury update. So at this moment we have no idea if Toney, JuJu and/or Hardman will be playing. Again this is a speculative conversation, so no one is wrong. I am just following the data.
