So what has Reich exactly accomplished to get the #1 pick and an immediate second chance?!?

He’s no spring chicken

he’s no offensive savant

 

when he came in, he walked into a stout defense and a team that was 1 win away from playoffs albeit abysmal. He got the #1 pick and hefty cap space and what’s he done with it?

 

The Young pick doesn’t seem so ‘NFL processor ready’ and the team is not fighting. At least in year 1 with Rhule they were scrappy. The guy got fired mid season last year and immediately gets a second chance, why?!

Hiring Reich was an over-correction from the Rhule hire.

The staff they put together on paper is quite impressive but they have under delivered. Reich needs to take a hard look in the mirror and will ultimately need to hand over playcalling (and probably work with Brown to re-tool our rushing attack) before we see any improvement. 

The elephant in the room is how completely devoid of talent and any sort of positional depth we are....and the blame for that goes straight to Scott Fitterer.

 

Ultimately, the "success" of this year will be whether or not Bryce Young looks like a legit NFL QB during weeks 14-17.

We gave rhule how many years and you guys want to bail on the coach after 3 games?  This is going to take time.  Everyone complained when Jerry wouldn't open his check book and now you have an owner that can't keep it closed and still complain.  Reich has a plan and that plan wasn't a Superbowl year 1 of the rebuild.  Give it time.  There's a lot of football heads in the building now, they will right the ship.

Good coaches don't get let go mid-season, period. They may quit, or retire, but they don't get fired.

He was fired for a reason. 

Tepper has been nothing but tepid in managing this team and at this point I have to wonder if his net worth is what he says it is. If he's as good at managing a hedge fund as he is a football organization, it's a miracle he's not out in tent city California.

Yeah he was such a bum the owner fired him and brought in a guy with zero nfl head coaching experience on a whim. 
 

he is in his 60s and i mentioned yesterday - everytime the camera cuts to him he is just standing around showing zero emotion and just looking at his clipboard. I’ve only seen him interact with players once and it was with Andy yesterday before the half. 
 

the only silver lining is maybe we might be able to get first crack at the DC for a head coach but considering the teams track record they will probably let him walk and bring in Josh McDaniels as the new HC

I saw more passion from Evero yesterday after the 4th and 1 play than Reich all year

He is my pick for the next HC. I like what I see from him. It’s not his fault the offense is incompetent and doesn’t want to run the ball. I saw something similar at UNC when Larry Fedora was HC. The offense would routinely go 3 and out of 6 and out and the defense was gassed like a mofo and had been on the field the entire game by crunch time. Its a team game.

Evero is legit.  Last year I was very against hiding a DC for the job and I've completely changed my mind. Evero is smart and aggressive in his play calling and the D looked bad in the second half but he was out his two starting LBs, a safety, and two starting corners... several of which were lost in game (harder to scheme around than those lost before it).  When given a chance to scheme he hides weaknesses and beings out a good squad imo.

Yeah, and let’s be honest here I don’t know if Burns is trying 100%. He is trying to get paid and blowing his knee out isn’t a good business decision. Can’t say I blame him.

I'm not sure he deserves to be paid what he wants. Frankly he looks a lot like he always has to me - good for a sack or pressure here and there but not really a consistent disruptor.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
