The Steelers operated that way forever(drafting and acquiring players to fit established systems) and never had it hurt them.

They haven't won in awhile though, and they've also made subtle changes over the years depending upon personnel. You have to do that. You can't use JuJu like AB for example. The big play offense is gone...for now. I expect they'll upgrade their receivers and we'll see a switch.

Ellis mentioned a connection I'd overlooked.

Pat Stewart was with the Eagles during Reich's time there as OC.

I looked for connections in the coaching staff and thought about the front office, but didn't really look too far beyond Fitterer and Morgan (my mistake) 😄

@Mr. Scot Awesome post, thanks for the time

Kevin Patullo for sure is a name to watch

Mike Groh is also a potential OC.  He was part of the highly curated Daboll staff that all came together without much history.  He was Reich's WR coach in Philly & then Indy but got plucked away.  And got that pedestrian NYG room playing really solidly this year (Slayton & Hodgins).  In checking him out, it sounds like he's not just a colleague but vry tight with Frank so could see him on the squad.

Tyler Boyles is another who's young and was Reich's handpicked assistant "to the" HC.  His young 30-ish Y/O assistant will likely follow him methinks.

I hadn't looked too hard at Groh as an OC but I'll probably take another look.

Based on what I'm reading about Reich having already interviewed people though, I'm starting to think the hires might be announced before I've had time to research anybody 😄

Groh is a classic NFL nepo-baby but could be good.  Hard to tell, didn't have the best cred when he was on Fisher's Rams but seems to have reworked his career a bit.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
