“Marty’s got a plan.”


WarHeel

Recommended Posts

Forgive me if posted already.

 

Was watching the Rivera presser and when asked about any potential movement with the trade deadline approaching Rivera noted that we have 1 open spot and that Marty has a plan. Not sure if that plan involves a trade— likely not. But it’s fun to speculate. 
 

So who is the 1 guy/position (realistically) you would bring in to right the ship after that atrocity of a game yesterday?

He’s probably the last person I’d blame for the debacle. Quite frankly he’s been killing it. On paper anyway.

Games aren't played on paper. I liked his draft, but Paradis looks like a bust of a FA signing and we sorely lack run stopping DL, especially at the DE spot. It's part of why I really wanted Horton back.

I doubt run stopping dt are the issue, gap control is more so an issue than our dt getting penetration. Run game is one of the 3-4’s biggest issues

It was Paradis or roll with Larsen and company at C with Kalil’s supposed “retirement.”

 

We’d be ripping him a new one for the lack of signing.

I was saying all last year that I thought Larsen was a better option than Kalil at that point. I think he's probably a better option than Paradis too. I was actually fine with moving forward with Larsen.

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
