it's weird, it's almost like coaches and teams just sell you a bunch of bologna publicly they want you to believe.  Not that it's all rooted in truth.  So maybe you can't put much stock in their words. 

I got this weird deja vu feeling. 

lol yeah without a doubt to a degree.  There are always some elements of playing to strengths in every roster.  AT moving to the slot vs outside would be an example, moving to a 3-4 for Brown and Burns is another.  Overlooking the skillset of his OL is by far the biggest mistake he has made this offseason.  Lying about who helped design a playbook though would have no advantage whether it be PR or hype about the team.  That's when things overblown by us fans and legit complaints get lumped into nonsense ones.

Sure, it does. 

because they hired Thomas Brown and the initial setup in reality was he wasn't being employed as a real NFL OC.  Frank was the OC for practical purposes. So to make Thomas Brown sound the best possible.....you overstate things he is involved with.   To make him look good and sound good.  It's all PR.  Nothing wrong with it.  Which is why I don't cherry pick that one instance out as nefarious lying.  They have sold much bigger bologna than that sugar coated version to hype Brown's job/role. 

That's what saying Thomas Brown built this playbook from the ground up does...it overstates and overplays what he is and did.   To make him look good. And that is the business.  For everyone.   It's not about lying.  It's just PR to sound good.  Reality is he never built it from the ground up.  He took Frank Reich playbook.  Because the base of the playbook was going to be Frank's....and added to it. But that doesn't sound as good when looking/talking about Thomas Brown.  The newb OC who wasn't even allowed to call plays when he came here. 

So it's a word game.  I just acknowledge it's a 24/7 PR game for essentially all teams.

Yeah see this is where it starts sounding crazy.  All of this for something your average fan doesn't really care about.  Coaches exaggerating how good his players are/his coaching it makes sense and happens all the time.  Hell they SHOULD do this to a degree to give their team confidence.  What you are talking ab out looks like this...

Yeah, not going down that road again 😄

There's actually a lot of good discussion being had here. Not gonna derail it responding to that kind of silliness.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.
