Time for G man to get to work

The upcoming season will show us if we have a stud or a dud as a gm.  Time for big Dave to toughen up and work some real magic cause I  dont think Rivera is coach enough to take us to the superbowl with simply good players - we have to have guys who are balls out for real and we will still have to get a lot of them on a short budget.  That said  he will have a little money to work with this year- lets see what kind of team he brings us in 2015.  I also hope he leans on Rivera hard enough to make the coaching changes we are all hoping for.

Two words.. No three.. Larry Fuggin Fitzgerald.. That is all, carry on.

 

Most likely too pricey. 

 

If anything I see us going after (a sorry) Receiver like Crabtree. One good year, under performed, can actually catch a pass thrown at him, relatively young and might be had at a reasonable price. 

 

I can see us going after Justin Hardy in the 2nd or 3rd for his hands/route running/return abilities. 

 

Above all else I want a competent O-Coordinator. While Shula wasn't given much to work with, his playcalling is just downright abysmal. When we run well, he decides it's time to pass. When we throw well, it's time to run. 3rd and 2? dial up the deep ball. 3rd and 14? Draw with Tolbert. It's like he hits "Ask Madden" every damn play. I'm tired of him. 

 

We need some new blood running that damn offense. Chud's a position coach. We could grab his ass back if he promises not to go full retard again. Chud had his moments, but his offenses could actually score some points. Now that the Defense we have is relatively solid, we could actually field a competent team on both sides of the ball. Couple Chud with a QB coach that can really work on the nitty gritty with Cam and I think we can go a long way in the future. 

 

Also we need a new ST coach but that goes without saying.

Gettlemen has already shown me that he is a stud.  Do you realize how many players who were starting today were players he found?  

Norwell (Undrafted FA)

Brown (undrafted FA)

Remmers (Minnesota PS)

Boston (4th round draft pick)

Binwikere (5th round draft pick)

Benjamin (1st round draft pick)

Turner (3rd round draft pick)

Harper (free agent)

Colin Jones (free agent special teamer)

Colin Cole (free agent out of retirement)

Jericho Cotchery (free agent)

 

That is 11 players--HALF of the starters were players Gettlemen found with no cap space--just good drafting and bottom fishing.

 

Key contributors (non starters):

Fozzy Whitaker (free agent wanderer)

Kevin Love (free agent practice squad)

Kony Ealy (2nd round draft pick)

 

I am sure there were others I have missed.  Gettlemen has already done enough to convince me that he is solid.

I would gladly welcome Chud back

When need to get more explosive on O. Good teams like the Seahawks know how to beat you in more than one way.

They can slow down and pound you with Beast Mode. Or they can quick strike like they did a couple times tonight.

We don't have that ability. The only way we beat teams is to march down the field on ninety five minute, 1,786 play drives.

If only we can find a way to mix Chud's and Shula's best qualities...

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
