Optimistic Outlook


Recommended Posts

2023 was abysmal and that's being kind.  What was supposed to be a strength turned into a nightmare.  FA signing underperformed and that's being kind also with the exception of Theilen.  Defense was overworked and some key players weren't available. 

OFFENSIVELY, WHAT IF

Canales gets our O-line out of that crazy zone blocking scheme and gets back to smashmouth football.  Something our O-Line was better at than the zone blocking BS.  We run the ball effectively and take the pressure of Young having to shoulder the load.  We get some real receivers in here.  If we bring in through Free Agency someone like Mike Evans and maybe draft a WR with 33.   

My opinion is that our O-line group is not as bad as many want to believe.  I think Icky didn't respond well to the Reich zone blocking scheme and his sophomore season was one to forget.  I believe that the Canales and Morgan philosophy of bringing the dawg out of our players will improve our O-line greatly. 

If all these things happen, which IMO isn't not impossible, we might just be competitive offensively to make some noise next year.

DEFENSIVELY, WHAT IF 

We have Evero back with his defense.  The players already know his scheme and 2024 they should be even better than 2023.   Our offense reduces the 3 and outs and we don't have the defense on the field for 40 plus minutes.  We keep Luvu and either re-sign Burns or get a pick for him.  Draft a DE and get another one in the draft.  Horn will stay healthy this year.  This is a season where his money is at stake, and I believe he'll play many more games than he'll miss.  

I think Evero can make this defensive squad a legitimate top 10 defense.

Being the eternal optimist that I am, if all these things came together maybe we actually win more than we lose and make the playoffs. 

Summary 

I think Morgan is going to bring is some Free Agent Dawgs and draft a couple more. I think this our offense is fixable and with the right coaches we could get back to an offense that can put points on the board.  The defense will be a legitimate Top 10 and we'll win our fair share of our game.

I want to be optimistic and it's a good time to be so, with nothing going on and nothing to lose.

Let's see how things go up to and through the draft. That may show us an awful lot of where we're going. We have few chips in the game, but maybe they can make something happen.

But let's quit shopping for big name receivers at the end of their careers. That's not the move teams that are trying to build for the future do.

We need our scouts to be out there looking for draft steals and checking for second and third string players that are undiscovered gems.

Also evans isn't coming here.  Y'all need to move on from that idea 

One I said someone like Mike Evans not necessarily him.  I'm sure we can entice a top tier WR FA to come here.  

6 wins is a pessimistic outlook.  But that's my opinion. 

Houston turned it around in one season so it's not out of the realm of possibility.

If Canales gets us from 2 to 6 wins in one year that would be a very good sign. That means year 2 should expect around a 500 season with a possible playoff push. This roster has a lot of holes still.

I agree. Reputation is everything and the reputation for this team has been hurt this past season The owner throwing water on a fan didn’t help much either.

whatever happens this season the administration needs to remember to “fix the reputation problems.”  Tepper needs to stay out of the news.

In his press conference Canales mentioned two players by name. Bryce and Chubba. Playing us to our strengths. Which would make our Oline better and would probably lead to Bryce running alot of RPO's. 

But wouldn't that make RB a huge need. Idunno wat happened to Sanders and Chubba is a fringe starter. Do we resign Chubba, draft a guy like Corrum or do we look for at FA ala Foreman again? Keep in mind our cap space.

There's too many if's for this to play out in your favor.  When you have more than one or if for any scenario to play out in your favor you have no chance at success.

For every if you introduce you decrease your odds by 50%. Do the math. It's more likely that it's gets worse before it gets better. But I'm prepared for just that. Are you?

    • If you blink often, you might or might not have eye issues. If your eyes aren't dry, your blinking may be caused by stress. If your excessive blinking is caused by stress, find ways to relax. If a tic is unlikely, talk with your ophthalmologist. If you want to ensure that your eyes aren't puffy, put your eye gels and creams in the fridge. This coolness will help to reduce inflammation, plus it will feel great when you put it on. Be sure to use your gel or cream every day for optimal results. Keep saline solution within reach. You can easily protect your eyes at work by wearing goggles. However, most people don't wear goggles for cleaning up in the home. If cleaning chemicals or soaps get into your eye, your first step should be to rinse the eye thoroughly using saline solution. Use a cotton wool pad soaked in a solution of rose water and a couple of drops of castor oil. When you place these pads on the eyelids, you can reduce the effects of eye burn. Other irritating issues with your eyes can be diminished or avoided using this method as well.   Read This Also:   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/a484a905-2985-4ca2-a25d-47c97ef83b12   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/f60130c8-5c59-4a60-94e8-61f3abcbdf41   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/f1ca107a-2c32-4b0d-bfcf-4efc6021149c   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/735f7e69-c489-4962-a244-aa3fa91bfddc   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/8323f628-d520-4b42-a38c-990f289863dd   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/6f4d5f82-d12f-492f-b5eb-0bb5d220bd99   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/525e1033-ad79-4cb9-bed6-2866753611a0   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/0107abb0-cf2b-41bf-aad4-cd573505fc54   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/3f30e8c3-bbed-437d-ba23-f70b993ed2d9   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/f562319d-a34d-44a5-89b1-8350a3b0fe98   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/919d41bf-cb97-41f7-8249-19636b72455d   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/0934fc64-a653-4379-ace8-a568b0dea68b   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/78269853-0517-4f12-92c3-4be1c1aa13fb   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/b0c67b70-be1f-4107-84de-3fa83dbb56ba   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/06788542-58c6-4ae5-910b-ecbb78500d6c   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/589fb52b-bddf-429b-888d-f940019741de   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/805194cc-1664-4e4e-8bfb-5a8a9dcc1060   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/f67e3cd7-f097-4969-b5ef-c7044bfd998f   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/75948776-07ce-48c8-9871-1422ac7769e4   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/dc8fc1e3-6216-441c-a44f-42447f6695dc   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/215da7df-0d21-4031-941a-d6327ebc39d9   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/759c4712-b49b-4ea6-9220-17e8ec3b7939   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/97b66549-5a25-421f-a053-e63fc7f6334a   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/87b56a8e-4c45-481d-b36a-c54e4da1366b   https://manifold.ecds.emory.edu/groups/9f1b82a9-c028-4b85-8d25-3733c7d67516
    • If there’s any year to be aggressive with it, it’s this one.
    • Rod didn’t sound so sure on TDA today. Also wtf NHL? You serious haven’t released the schedule yet, I guess they are waiting to see how things shake out tonight?
