“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.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
