College vs Pros


Recommended Posts

I think we are going to see a notable difference in this team.   Not only do we have better talent on the O-line but the entire coaching staff is full of NFL experience.  Compared to last season where we had a bunch of Rhule's hand picked college coaches.  Those coaches were in way over their heads and I am glad Tepper insisted that Rhule bring in experienced NFL coach.  Fitterer did a good job identifying these coaches and hiring them. 

I believe that most NFL coaches have forgotten more than a college coach ever knew..  

I think McAdoo is going to bring some thump to our offense. Snow's defense is going to be much better also even though we lost Riddick. I also believe with assistant coaches like Campen and Wilks this team is going to be like Night and Day from last year.

I am anxious to see how this team starts to mold together as OTAs, Minicamps and training camp.

The offense is surely to be better.  It couldn't possibly get worse. 

I am certainly glad that experience at the nfl level was brought in. It was desperately needed.

Campen was a great hire. That man can turn these guys into something that resembles a pro football oline. The additions were much better than last season and showed a serious attempt to make it a priority. 

Wilks is a great secondary coach and an even better man. Those kids hit the lottery with him as a coach. As for the rest of the defense it's still lacking.  I am not convinced they are up to the challenge. 

All in all I give them a punchers chance of challenging for the nfcs, even with Darnold. 

Prove me wrong.

Darnold has not shown much promise but if he ever is going to succeed this will be his year.

    • 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.
