It's Clear--Complete Rebuild Around Cam, Luke, & Olsen

I don't typically host negative threads but I've gotta get this out there.   It's year 5/6 with Cam & Luke running the ship.  By now-a fine tuned well oiled machine should have been made but hot damn, there is structural damage, not just some dents.  It seems the whole engine that propelled the SB run blew up.  It's just not the same team and we need something to ignite it.  

*It isn't a dumpster fire or completely falling apart but there is a clear signal to change before those happen. Note-in a weird turn of events, at the same time of feeling this, I think that our current organization has the ability to turn this year around.  This is without even making the changes I'll propose but the problem is that we've yet again, come to this juncture.  I'm not saying, do this right now, because it's just not feasible but the time has come to recalibrate how the team is built and our strategies on both sides of the ball.  

Primary Objectives:

Fire the coaching staff.  Seriously, get them out.  Acquire a top pass rusher. Acquire a top safety.  

Safe: Cam, Luke, Olsen, Turner (That's it IMHO).  We have a case where there's too many that need to go to the point where you have to consider all of the expendables.      

Why?

I think we all know why at this juncture.  

I've loved what Ron has been able to do but I'm seeing coaching fatigue and the same problems we had year one with him and to top it off, just bad execution, staff evaluation, and there's no discipline with the team this year.  I'm not giving the guy another break.   This is like the 3rd season where's this has happened.  He should be beyond certain things he's falling back into.  

Player wise--the old guys that many disliked signing were key in my opinion.  Tillman, Harper, etc.  They were older and had hiccups but there's no issue with fundamentals.   We are throwing guys out there that shouldn't be without vets there to show them what's up.  Experienced WRs are having a field day with us.  

Why are you posting?

In a nutshell, I don't think it could be much worse for the foundational players than it is now anyways so it makes for the perfect time to blow it up and rebuild around them for the long haul/second leg of their tenure.  Many players in the NFL with the rare exception of a Brady/Bill B combo go through this.  

Re-establish how we are built (which should be from the lines out) and get new blood in town.

Serviceable Interim Option

Steve Wilks babay.  Many know he is the in-practice general for us and I think he's a completely viable guy to have as an interim HC who can win.  

Promote Ricky Proehl to OC.  Not Dorsey.  IMG is fool's gold and it's full of underperforming former players trying to teach.  

Happy times ;)  Flame away.  I've made it to this point; I just really don't like this coaching staff.

I've already been sitting through over half a decade of rebuilding with Cam and Luke. 

Thanks for the kind words.  I'm speaking both staff and personnel...and we've had the same HC since day 1 with Cam.

no way dude. we're close, we just need a tune-up. this whole thing can be fixed in an offseason.

I agree.  Just sucks that it wasn't fixed last offseason. I don't understand how a team that has its deficiencies put under a microscope during that poo super bowl does nothing to address them

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
