Stomach issues 😣

Haven't changed on that front. Still don't want Tepper doing anything at all without hiring a consultant.

Firing Campen wouldn't require Tepper though. That'd be Reich's call.

 

It would also be unfair, but... 😕

Campen is seen around the League as one of the best line coaches around. Nobody on that staff believes it’s Campens’ fault the guys are failing at their jobs. It’s a scheme issue and Reich should’ve realized it wasn’t going to work a long time ago.

No, It's not his fault. The scheme absolutely doesn't fit.

Unfortunately, that probably won't stop him from getting fired.

One other observation...

Brian Daboll got everybody's attention last year by hiring outside of his circle. Reich followed suit.

Daboll's Giants are floundering (badly) in his second year. Our team didn't wait that long.

Is that coincidence or causative?

Unknown, but it could be worth noting.

Guy I work with is a huge dolphins fan and he says that what's going on with bryce is exactly what they went through with tua. Speed and a good coach turned everything around

It’s been a huge theme in the NFL when you decide to play these guys before the team is ready.

I don't think sitting Bryce is an option. You can debate whether or not it should be, but I don't think it is.

With a mini-bye this week, there would be an option to try to change the emphasis of the offense to power running since that's what our personnel are better suited for, but I don't know if that's going to happen.

Try what you will but we know it is going to be futile. You watched enough Cowboy games to know this is gonna be a 45-0 route.

The ironic thing is Bryce would be cooking in the power run playaction offense Wilks/Mccadoo were running at the end of last season. 

Honestly, probably so. I didn't want to at the time but we should have definitely hired Wilks. He got the team doing the best it could.

This is literally a bullet point guide to how to make us perform as poorly as possible.

Are you sure Wilks would have wanted him?

Pondered elsewhere whether or not it might have been a similar situation to what Wilks had in Arizona where he wanted one quarterback but team brass and ownership insisted on a different one.

Given what we've heard about Tepper, it's not hard to imagine that scenario repeating itself here.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
