I know some people just don't like podcasts.  I get it.  But sometimes you get some great interviews.  This morning I started listening to this episode with Jonathan Stewart, which I found super insightful.  It's only about 36 minutes long, and the content with JStew is pretty cool.

What I took away from Stewart is that there is a distinct lack of trust on the team.  Period.  Can they trust the play call?  The other guys?  With that sense of trust is how much you have your bud's back?  It's a very interesting perspective about the relationships between players, coaches, and the families.  Stewart said "it's not just us winning, it's our kids and our families winning."  That hit really hard. 

He also said something many of us will not like to hear: it's not all on Matt Rhule.  He didn't fumble the ball.  He didn't drop a pick.  He didn't miss a block.  Remember his perspective as a player before you think he's just soft in the head.  He does also say that when players do their jobs and the results stink, that's on the coaches.  It's something we need to remember - there is a give and take between players and coaches.

Overall, really enjoyable listen for me.  Maybe you will disagree and that's fine.  It's important to try to look at the different perspectives as we try not to sell our team out completely.  Not that they haven't earned it thus far...

We talking about Chuba fumbling? because that is on Matt Rhule

Chuba shouldn’t be on the team. He adds no value yet he’s still here. Chuba showed during the pre season he still can’t catch a football so him fumbling a kickoff should surprise no one. 

Then to trot him back out there after he fumbled and have him nearly do it again? Yeah that’s on the coaching staff

When the same mistakes happen, year after year, and sometimes it’s the same player, that is on coaching or lack thereof 

Case in point, Chubba has had ‘hands of stone’  since college..lol all the players on the team, he is the one to do kickoffs ?  Come on man   Just like throwing to him out of the backfield  he is nit a complete back and it is doubtful any other team would pick him up.

look at the results of this coach’s drafts ..they are not  great

go look at the top 15 teams  and how they play vs this team….

I believe what my eyes have shown me for starting year 3

not to worry, this schedule will flush it out, probably after the Tampa game, the jury will be in.

The coaches evaluate the talent and the game plan for each week. It's up to the players to execute that game plan to the best of their ability. But if the game plan sucks to begin with, not to mention the talent level of the players being put out there by the coaches to execute said plan is severely lacking, then well, you're gonna have a bad time.

He nearly had 2 fumbles.  I am guessing he had about 4 touches, and 2 of them ended up on the ground.

He shouldn’t be back there regardless. Actually, yeah he shouldn’t be on the team.

Remember that deep kick he brought out late in the game vs CLE?

This is EXACTLY what I was going to say, Chuba should have been cut after the PS, and we should have signed a FA as they are not expensive. 

When we talk about fumbles, missed blocks, dropped passes etc. we have to look at the decisions the COACH makes with the personnel...

We split reps with Ickey our 1st round selection number 6 overall with BC and WASTED reps in camp to help speed up his development...why? A 3rd rounder in BC was never going to be him out. 

We split reps with Baker / Sam, again NO ONE though Sam was going to win, you don't trade for Baker to sit him, so why did we waste those reps. 

The only other person we really have that's decent at returns is Shi, they had him out there for punts, but not KR, why?

We trade for Shenault, we draft TMJ in round 2, we signed a WR that has years of rapport with Baker, and yet we are force feeding Shi Smith....I'm not saying he doesn't have talent, but this is the deepest we've ever been at WR, why are we NOT taking advantage of that?

So while I agree with players have to execute, coaches have to 1) have a plan that CAN be executed, and 2) they have to put the players in the best position / environment to execute. 

To me that is what Rhule has failed at since his time here began, overall we have the same issues we had back in 2020, even with an improved roster.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
