And yeah, I can see not being fully up to speed on the turf. It’s not like part of the interview process was “Well Frank you know we have a small town big controversy here about turf vs grass.” But he was not touching that at all. Set up the non answer right off with the “If I don’t answer the question you asked it’s because I am sometimes selectively hard of hearing.

He did intimate that a running QB who can pass from the pocket is preferable. Running is preferable to passing, but you need to have those chunk plays down field. It's standard fare that makes sense.

He hedged on whether he'll call plays. It will likely depend upon the OC. I don't think we'll get any big names out there, and "bye-bye McAdoo," it seems.

A running QB who can pass from the pocket...

sounds oddly familiar...

 

(though I prefer the QB not run for his life and just make passes in the pocket)

The logic behind running is a breath of fresh air after 12 years of "ThE mOsT wInNiNgEsT tEaMz RuN dA bAlL aT lEaSt 20 tImEs PeR gAmE"

Completely ignoring the fact that if you're winning you kill the clock at the end of the game by running.

Rivera and Rhule were so dumb about that crap it was infuriating.

He went a lot deeper on what he is looking for then I was expecting.  Dumbass fowler asked him to evaluate the qbs on the roster and he clearly side stepped that as of today we only have one and he is injured.  Fowler is a dumbfug, always has been

He didn't sidestep it, he just forgot to answer it because he was too busy waxing on about the first part.

Im guessing no one caught the comment about running a zone blocking scheme from Reich? Thats a huge change for us.  If im not mistaken... we havent tried a true ZBS since 2007 under Davidson.

Campen's Zone/Power Hybrid that he ran in GB shows well in that respect.  He knows every scheme and how to blend them.  He coached up two of my fave OL prospects in the past decade in Bitonio and Bakthiari so I think we've got a lot to really like with the approach.  This bodes really well for Brady & Icky.

I will go back and watch again but I think he side step because there is only one dude under contract and he cannot play.  There was really nothing he could say about the situation, but I will watch again and see if you are right.

 

But all in all the first question was damn near moronic

These kinds of events are rarely that good. It’s a formality and the truth will come out in the players we put on the roster and the success we have on the field. My take away is when it comes to football, he has a plan and has the NFL experience to back it up. We’re in a great position to get a great young QB in here with a lot of talent around them. They need to execute on a QB successfully and roll them out properly. Barring injuries and the unexpected this roster is built to compete this season.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
