Could This Line-Up Be Worse?

Some of the OL woes seem ''fixable'' in the sense of better than what we've been fielding. 

Christensen is the most athletic guy we have, yet we keep playing him inside, why?

Daley, is 330 lbs, versus Brady at around 303 lbs, why not go...

Christensen / Daley as the LT & LG combo, a 3rd rounder over a former 6th rounder?

Stubborn coaching. BC should start the remaining games for experience going into next season. No way he would be worse than Daley or Erving.

I doubt it was interested in anything pertaining to experience or future seasons. He needs to win now.

Basically, we're back where we were under Rivera.

fox was just as bad. 

i mean is that something we look for in a HC? is that a cultural thing here? i guess it is. how weird.

Fox had his downfalls but o-line under his era was never the issue as he was a run heavy coach and were willing to invest as he knew their importance. Gross, Wharton, Ryan Kalil, and Otah (before injuries) to name a few.

or some other such bullshit.

Gimme five guys who can each play one position well and I won't give a sh-t whether they can play somewhere else.

i'd say it wasn't as much an issue. he inherited a pretty good one to start with but he kept plugging in decent players as needed.  it was at least a priority.

    • 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.
