zero instinct for ebb and flow. it's been obvious for a long time but now that cam is t playing at a high level it's becoming unmasked.

this coaching staff adds absolutely nothing to this team

Yup.

If we want to be totally honest with ourselves, Cam has looked pretty pedestrian for a while, and the coaching staff isn't bright enough to know how to "fix" it.

If I hear from coaches or fans, about "panther football" I'm going to lose it.  Play smashmouth D, and run the rock....welp, that would be the way to do it, if we could go back to 1990.  We need innovation, creative thinking, etc....that ain't gonna happen with Ron at the helm.

You and me both.

Get rid of this lying clown. Talking about when he came here that we are going to be aggressive in what we do...

I'm all aboard the Wilks train

I don't want any of this coaching staff here when we are preparing for the draft next year.  We need a new GM and an entirely new coaching staff.

Hey remember last year when Rivera ran the ball 3 times trying to run the clock to play for OT... and then proceeded call timeouts for Tampa which let them drive down the field and win the game?

 

or when Rivera called a timeout right before half to let the saints get a field goal in?

 

I'm not surprised at all by this. Garbage coach.

Yea, that beatdown was exactly what I wanted on my birthday.

At least I had to work, and couldn't watch the game.

I'm in LA grinding on postproduction on my film. Thankfully I'm about to go bury my head in that for the next ten hours

    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
    • a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
