Give me some hope. Can this offense be turned around?

Well, I've never started a thread declaring that everyone who disagreed with me was a crybaby and I was better than them, so at least I've got that going for me 🙂

Well, fair enough Scot. I could follow your posts and point out every time you come off as "prickish" or "douchebaggy" but I don't think anyone has that much time on their hands, plus I really don't care that much. Savor your victory. Cheers.

Feel free...Heaven knows I have my share of "fans" who'd rather talk about me than about football.

I started my last thread thanking another poster for the idea and then writing out an analysis. It's actually how I prefer to start conversations as opposed to "Here's my take. It's proven fact. Deal with it."

I suppose I could go with something like "all of you are beneath me" but I prefer to think of it like my Mom did, i.e. "if you've gotta tell me how smart you are, you're probably not".

Just now, WOW!! said:

And I pass my time to the Chairman of the board..

Case in point 😄

I didn't see you differentiating much of anything, but I do see you now trying to spin your opening post as "Hey, I was just joking".

That at least tells me you might recognize just how douchebaggy that post sounded.

@Khaki Lackey rest assured, whatever Mr. Scot accuses other people of doing, it's almost always guaranteed to be a projection based on something he had done recently.  Here's his thread from earlier this month where he got clowned on for a post he made and then he had to come out like "guys I was just kidding, sheesh relax".  I guess he recognized how douchebaggy his post sounded or something?

Nah. That post actually was a joke that some folks didn't get 😄

But Lord knows a discussion of self important people wouldn't be complete without you 😀

I've gone back and forth on that.

It's valid that Rhule is the one common denominator, but does he even have enough offensive knowledge to leave a "stamp"?

You previously could have said his stamp was "run the ball, stop the run" but then he inexplicably switched over to "passing is what wins in the NFL". Gotta figure that was McAdoo.

One thing's I'd say though: The calls for McAdoo to be the interim coach if Rhule does get fired are probably gone.

Keeping it simple with limited personal has to be a Rhule thing.  Maybe he isn't smart enough to understand the more complex schemes so he has his OCs dumb it down?  I don't know but he is the common denominator as you stated.

The interim should be Wilks IMO and let Sean Ryan call the offense.

My current choice for an interim would be Tabor.

Campen's done it before too.

I'm not as sold on Wilks as everyone else is. We've put a lot of resources toward our secondary and it's not looking better under Wilks.

I don't think he is a good HC, just better than what we have currently which isn't saying much.  He looked good with us before as the secondary coach (and DC) when his guys were able to play man and blitz.  He had Norman playing great, but I think Snow likes these soft zone schemes for whatever reason (probably because he has a linebacker playing free safety).

Personnel built for man paired with a coach who prefers zone...

I like Wilks as a coach, and back in 2017 when we had no talent in the secondary the soft zone made sense.... But now with all of the resources we have invested in press man corners..  It's painful to watch us line up press and run guys play giving a 10 yard Cushion... no jams free releases ect.... That's Horn Hartsfield and Hendersons strength and it isn't being used at all.

    • Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure. 
    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
