We won't. He very clearly said afterwards he meant things around the team, not from inside.

There's no way you can look at this team and think it's tanking. What decisions were made to do so?  Trading away our best offensive player? Ok, but he may have lowkey requested a trade (esp given where he ended up), and we had good backs behind him.  Refusing the Burns trade is 100% strong evidence we weren't trying to tank, as was firing Rhule.

How is HC and player changes outside the team?

Listen to the context.  The list is: coaching changes, player changes...our our organization trying to tank it.

Whatever.  He said it.  You are going to hear what you want.

He did backpedal, excuse me, clarify it 5-6 questions later on follow up.

There's no "the" there.

I could give you "Are our organization trying to tank it?"

But to me it sounds like "Our..our organization trying to tank it."

Either way he wasn't asked about tanking.  He listed HC and player changes and then talked about tanking.  He did backpedal 5-6 questions later.

He clearly says the and even if he didn’t, his tone clearly phrases the sentence as a question. Make of it as you will, it’s non-story.

Lol there is definitely a "the organization" in there. Its either "our the organization" or "are the organization" 

The entire first set of questions was about how the team overcame what was swirling around the team outside the players on the roster and overcame it. He's talking about the "its" being out there all the time to distract them.

And he later clarified what he meant.

The players have no control over the HC changes. That is what he means by an "it".  Did you actually listen to the interview, or just the sound bite?

By the time this is over, some of you will have written a novel on how Steve Wilks murdered Sir Purr. People are making poo up just for the fun of it I guess.

we're now arguing how many are/ours and the's are in a press conference of a coach that just won a game, lol.

I can definitely see why Kunkel interpreted it the way he did. I’m glad Wilks clarified later.
 

Still don’t see why it would be a big deal anyway. “Tanking it” could just be the organization choosing to rebuild and reconstruct the staff and path they were on. Not actively trying to lose football games which is what would get us in hot water.

I watched the presser and heard him say it. It definitely caught my attention but also think he just worded incorrectly in his explanation of things the players had going on. Joe Person of all people asked him a follow up question later about the comment where he clarified

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
