Fitterer setting low expectations.

[Tbe]

Fitt just said in his presser that “it’s going to take a little time in the beginning but it should be a strong group closing out the year.” Gave the example of RW’s first year in Seattle and how it didn’t take off until game 8 or something.

So yeah, I think they understand what’s going to happen.

Low or just realistic? New staff. New schemes. New and rookie QB.

[Ricky Spanish]

That is exactly what I have been saying is going to happen.

We aren't this year's Giants, we are going to be this year's Jaguars.

It took jayz seven years to build rome

[Shocker]

It’s pretty obvious, on this offense in particular, we will need to add talent the next few years

[Tbe]

Oh….he also said it was unfair to blame Rhule for draft picks that don’t work out. Said “we’re all in this too.”

I think we're going to play our best ball in the 2nd half of the year.  The first few weeks - everyone is going to be figuring out how to play together and we're going to have a lot of close misses on things.  It just takes time.

We could luck into a bad division and be playing for the playoffs at the end of the season again.  I think that's completely possible, and I wouldn't be opposed to that one bit!

Pretty much.

I know people were talking playoffs and stuff given the division, but some of us have already said we wanted to pump the brakes on that.

[Sgt Schultz]

His statement is pretty much what I have expected all along.  This is not a veteran team poised to bring home an Owl with just a change in coaches.

"If we don't make the playoffs in Year One, fire everybody!!!"

A bit classier than Payton.

Or Rhule, for that matter.

That's the kind of response you should expect from a professional.

[Smithers]

Well since we didn’t run a single play during the preseason we plan to run during the season, I imagine it will take weeks for guys to get practice in the scheme.  Would have rather we practice that stuff in games that don’t count, but ya know…don’t wanna give any game tape to the Falcons

IE - “I had the final call”
