Experimenting with blocking schemes explains a lot.

It's the best explanation for the regression, especially considering the coaching staff....and especially x2 considering we still have Campen.

How Michael Jordon still has a job here, though, is something completely different. Just hoping he's in the next wave of cuts after we see another OG get cut from another team.

It jives with that last episode of camp confidential and Reichs comments to the team before the practice with the Jets.

I think we have gone way overboard the past 5 years about preseason due to McVay. Just because one good coach takes the approach of not playing any starters, doesn't mean all good coaches have to. Our approach seemed to be pretty obvious, use them as extra practices and try stuff out. Who cares if you win, get the first down, make the TFL.. it's all about seeing what works and doesn't. It'll pay off for us down the road this year. So excited for this year.

Yeah I’ve laughed about this preseason stuff. When I coached high school basketball, we tried to play people better than us in the summer, tried different player combinations, put backups in against starters, played guys out of position…. Anything we could to prep for the season. One year we went like 2-9 in the summer, including a couple games blowing big leads (because little Johnny Turnover got his chance in the second half)… we ended up winning the conference that year.

So as long as you have your guys, great time to look at individual matchups, decide who can play, what schemes fit, get some stuff on film and go for real when it counts.

Id rather they didnt given the 5'11 185 LB 1st overall pick had to take the results....

Why? He's gonna get hit eventually. Things are going to go south sometimes and he needs to be able to cope when it does. Preseason seems like a better time to put your starting QB in bad situations than waiting for it to actually happen. Just like children, players shouldn't be coddled. Let them experience what the real world is like a little bit before the poo is real.

I know you are worried about injuries, but you really shouldn't. That poo is gonna happen, so why worry about it? Some time BY is going to get hurt and is going to miss games, just like every other starting QB. 22 of 32 starting QB's missed at least 1 game in the regular season last year.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
