Off-season priority

Obviously we have plenty of needs, the most pertinent determining who our next HC and starting QB will be. Outside of this we need to be looking at the rest of our offense.   
 

Specifically someone who can get open and catch a pass. DJ is too hot and cold. TMJ ain’t it. Our TEs can’t be relied on for anything other than blocking. CMC obviously masked this deficiency and it’s glaring what our identity has been the last several weeks which is severely problematic when your RB averages less than 3 yard per carry multiple weeks. 
 

Saints now have 2 young and hungry studs at the WR position and if they settle their QB position it will be the same song and dance we’ve seen in this division all over again via Michael Thomas, Julio Jones, and Mike Evans setting records on this secondary and us not being able to keep pace with scoring.
 

You guys want an offensive minded HC? Great.

We need some offensive players too.

For all the pissing and moaning about QB, there is nobody to throw to.  I hope this rookie QB can throw to himself.

Which is why we need a decent OC. They can scheme guys open. 
The QB is also a disaster. 2/9 for -4 net yard and an INT is unacceptable. If we want to give him credit when he throws check downs an Hubbard takes it 40 yards he gets some of the blame here as well.

That was definitely a bad throw. Everything else has been bad today with the exception of Hubbard. I’d give Foreman some love but that selfish retaliation is going to cost us way more than the Saints lost.

Yeah they ran a rub route with DJ across the field who got switched on a LB.  FINALLY got open and Sam found him.

And Sam fumbles into the end zone where our backup guard bails him out… 

Yeah, that sucked, but a TD none-the-less.  Also, if a new OC can scheme the WRs open, then the QB can find them.  As of now, the WRs can't get open and McAdoo can't scheme them open, except running them all the way across the field through the zone hoping for a mismatch.  I wonder how many more times that play will get dialed up.

McAdoo can’t scheme them open quick enough and Sam can’t handle pressure. We need to replace both (Sam’s fine as a backup).

For the most part Sam has done a good job of not taking the sack today. I haven’t been clocking the snaps but he sure as hell doesn’t have a lot of time and every time they pan out no one is open.

I will not argue that, BUT the problem I have is the clamoring for  a rookie QB when we are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo deficient on the offensive side of the ball that a rookie QB will not make on bit of difference.  Actually, he will likely make things worse because of utter lack of help around him.  At least a veteran QB can handle the adversity.

    • I mean, if Moore really wants out, then it would behoove the Bears to make it happen sooner than later. X is a lot younger and cheaper, and may be a better fit for Johnson's musings than a disgruntled, unnecessary, overpaid vet. If they can dump his salary and maybe get a fourth or so in return, it may be worth it to them. As for development, I'm not concerned. You're talking about a seeming bust, a day three guy and a UDFA. They are developing relative to their ceilings. I doubt any of them will ever command the coverage, money, or the respect that Moore has acquired. He's a tier above them. Yes, even X. 
    • IMO, if Ceedee plays against us, the game probably goes the other way. Same with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Our team just isn't designed to beat teams with two high level receivers like that. But when you look at the league, how many teams really have two guys of that caliber?  There's nothing wrong with defensive adjustments, but sometimes I think a lot of fans want Evero to call a different play like a game on madden, and defensive football just isn't like that. That said, I thought we did a much better job this season against the Cowboys of flipping Jaycee and at least making them work for it, opposed to last season when they literally just lined CeeDee up on the other side of the field every single snap.  For us to just straight up switch to consistent man coverage, or a different zone, or whatever, we likely would consistently need different personnel on the field. Doing it a few times a game is a gamble and can work, but if we consistently run man coverage against the Cowboys, eventually a RB is going to beat a linebacker, or something of that nature with our personnel. Part of the reason Evero likes this scheme is that, while we have our defaults and presets, what we do is very multiple, and you can do a lot of different things pre and post snap. We are a challenging defense to read. But as you said, if guys are getting beat, it doesn't really matter what you call.
