Unrealistic expectations

Recommended Posts

I see some are already ripping the coaches and forgetting that our problem is lack of talent on both sides of the ball, but especially on defense. We all knew these routs were coming at the start of the season so just relax and hope we can do well in the draft.

We had a good first quarter. Our second quarter was like 35 yards of offense I thought they said during the game. 

That was actually the second half of the game, 35 yards. The second quarter the team got a whooping 37 yards... 

So the three last quarters the team gained 72 yards.. for a game total of 187.

Yeah that reinforces my point though. We had a good first quarter on offense and that was it.

Problem is the defense looked sufficient to start the year, now they look just awful, and thats not the direction a young defense should go, they should get better as the season goes and things make more sense in front of them. After giving up a 98 yard TD to a guy who's 40 time is only measurable on the mayan calendar, No one on that defense is even close to adequate.

Who says they should get better?  There's more tape on them now what they're doing schematically and at some point it comes down to 1 on 1 matchups. When you have poor talent, especially at positions like MLB and DB, you get exposed.

Exactly.  We have some young talent on defense, largely due to last year's draft.  The DL may be on a track to become a force to be reckoned with in the not too distant future.  But the secondary and LB corps is mostly bare, save for Chinn.

Generally, offensive and defensive coordinators are pretty smart and identifying strengths and weaknesses given about a half a season of film.

yeah you could watch brady yesterday targeting whitehead and boston specifically.

The start definitely made people get hope 

I tried to warn everyone that the more film we put on tape the worse we would look. We had a significant element of surprise early in the season with so much roster turnover and am all new nearly exclusively college coaching staff.

I’m pleased with the coaching. I have some problems with defensive alignments sometimes, that giant hole in the middle of the field on the 98 yard td was more coaching problem than talent deficiency, but I’m mostly fine with even Snow. The problem is bad QB, bad MLB and highly inconsistent play in the secondary outside of Chinn.

    • Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds. 
    • Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds. 
    • Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
