This whole OL ordeal

Recommended Posts

First off--Loved the win today.  It's awesome seeing young new guns contributing (Bene, Fozzy, Tre, etc.)

 

Something that the last 2 weeks has shown however is the lack of evaluation skills the OL coaching and offensive staff has.  

 

It took injuries and a ton of moving around to finally get a competent line out there.  7 prior starting lines.  

 

I just can't forgive the fact that thought Amini and Chandler were the best options we had when a random mid-season FA pickup and one of our UDFAs are completely outplaying them now.  Igo even mentioned how good Norwell looked in camp and it was pretty obvious he had talent watching this preseason.  

 

Moving forward, if we somehow are stuck with Ronald next season we NEED to get better talent evaluators on offense.  

 

They have basically been forced into this lineup and it was legit today.

 

Even before Shula leaves, Matsko and Brown need to be relieved of their duties and we need a change at those spots.  

 

This awesome win and offensive performance should have given every indication we need a lot of changes to the staff on offense if Ronald is here next season.  There was a reason the Ravens canned him.    

 

When an OL is killing it and you don't turn it over, an offense works no matter the scheme..WC, EP, AC, Kellyball

I agree on the young talent.  Because of the play in the last 6 games, all the coaches besides Proehl need to be gone.

 

Bene is super talented.  Happy we've got him.  

 

I could see us signing Fozzy to a 2-yr deal after this season.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
