We are 3rd in the league in 3 and outs. Clean that up enough to get into the top half and this team could look a lot better.

 

Give Wilks a competent OC and maybe we have something. Unfortunately, I don't see either one of them back next year. That is, barring some ungodly good luck from here on out.

So you want the same HC and same QBs (Corral and Sam) next year?

Rhule was 1-4. He lost to the 8-5-1 Giants, 10-4 SF, 6-8 Browns and 4-10 Cardinals. Based on Wilks work so far, he really hasn’t exceeded Rhule by much. It has been the schedule. Rhule had 2 above .500 opponents in 5 games and Wilks has had 2 in 9 games. Difference is that Wilks beat Seattle and Rhule lost on a 58 yard FG to Cleveland.

I’m not defending Rhule just saying that Wilks hasn’t really improved anything, he’s been just a bit better and had an easier schedule. It’s clear that if teams have trouble stopping the run we are OK but we’ve got no ability to game plan for when we can’t.

All I'm saying is you are expecting too much.

Think of it this way. You have a race car built by shade tree mechanics at the direction of the first driver that didn't know poo about building a race car. You put it in the indy 500 and a few laps in you realize the car is a piece of poo with no chance to win. So to think putting a new driver in it is somehow it's going to win the race is a bit of a stretch don't you think?

That's not what I said. 

 

Did you read the part where I said I don't expect either one of them back barring some ungodly luck?

 

Seems like I'm resigned to the fact we may have a new Coach and QB next year.

 

And we will be needing a Vet for our 2 young QBs.

No I was just asking.  It seems like you want Wilks and I know you like Corral.  The whole "unfortunately" remark made me think you still want Wilks.

Sorry, I was in a hurry and got carried away. I usually try and be civil, or don't reply at all. This place is getting to me again. 

 

I'll admit that there is a part of me that would like to see Wilks get a fair shot. Pick his own staff, try and get his own QB. Then see what happens.

 

But I also know that we are probably going Offensive with our next Coach. Which I can somewhat understand.  Going to be interesting to see this all play out.

 

As for Sam? He has played rather well lately, but we've seen that before. However, if he continues this for the next 3 games? You have to put him on the list for that vet QB we need next year.

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
