The underlying problem is the construction of the roster.  We have some talent, it just may not be "the right" talent.  Since The Process came in, we focused on speed and versatility.  Problem is, there are units in the NFL that need brawn. 

Whoever comes in is going to have to sit down with Fitts (or whoever) and go unit by unit to assess the pieces.  That probably means some of the talent we think we have is going to have to be moved.  I have no idea to what degree this problem hog ties the current interim staff in what they can do, because you can't really change it much during the season.  It is not an excuse, but an observation that has to be considered because if it is limiting them, it will limit their successors.

The other thing, as basic as this is, will be to make sure players are in their best positions.  We know The Process was not any good at identifying that.  My guess is they were trying to outsmart everybody, and like most who do that, they outsmarted themselves.

As I said, it will take a while to undo the damage that was done with the grand Rhule experiment.  The right coaching staff can probably do it in two seasons and could show improvement right away.  But, if we are going to go down another five to seven year plan, we might as well trade everybody and start over.

You are exactly right 

this roster construction is a patchwork of a team that didn’t know what it was going to be before the construction started

it is a house built without a blueprint and here we are and will ne for the next 3 years while it is fixed

We've said it before, but being an interim coach is a seriously tough path. You're coaching players you didn't choose with a staff you didn't hire to run systems you didn't create. It's a nearly impossible task.

As far as Wilks, I believe there are plenty of people who would have liked to see him succeed, but I don't think too many people were predicting it.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting your team to win. Nothing wrong with rooting for Cinderella stories.
 

I think since we can’t get good football on Sunday’s, people lean into shitting on the team and other people to cope with the losing. They align losing with “being right”, and therefore they get something out of it. 

Well said and I definitely see what you mean and where you are coming from.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
