Morgan kicking arse and taking names

[Jmac]

No doubt the man has made a huge difference at GM. Clearing the table and doing the work to improve this team in one offseason.

If he can somehow sign S.G and Horn can stay healthy, then the D has improved. Burns wasn't the guy and Morgan knew it. Clowney actually replaces him easily. Our run defense is now much better compared to seasons past.

Putting the money where it was needed. Not drastically over paying while making the team better. Impressed with the way he has worked FA, hopefully he can do the same in the draft.

Let’s wait for the results.  We have been honeydicked by Fitts and Gettleman in first 1-2 years too.

Easy cowboy I've seen this movie before

On paper, they are good moves.

But every offseason, every team has made great moves on paper during hopium season.

What matters is the product on field. Will these guys mesh well with Canales' philosophy? Fitterer "revamped" the receiving corps last offseason and had a great rated draft. All these players completely flopped when it mattered.

We shall see if there's any fruitful results. It's great on paper, and I surely hope this isn't a paper tiger offseason. I don't blame anyone for being optimistic, and I don't blame any skepticism either.

Yes and I need to see how he attacks the draft.

Here's why I believe it will be different.  

We've addressed the offensive line in a major way.  We've added a WR that surely knows how to get open and give Young another target outside of Theilen.  Defensively we've added several players that have played for Evero in the past so the learning curve for our defense won't be so bad.  I just heard we have added 7 starters on defense.  All equal or greater than the player they are replacing.

None of these are extremely bad contracts where if they don't perform as we expect that we are in a major hole again.  

No GM hits on every free agent but I really like all of our signing and choose to be more optimistic than pessimistic.

The only thing that truly matters is how well he can draft. I'll have a decent enough answer on that by the end of the year.

Hard to know how things will turn out but I do think we will be better and it isn't about just the players. Reich thought bringing in guys from different backgrounds and thoughts would lead to them all working together and complementing each other. Instead it lead to cliques and infighting and tattling to Tepper which lead to a disaster and coaches being fired midseason.

Canales has brought in his people who he knows and trusts. They should meld much better on offense which was the issue. He also knows to leave Evero alone and stick to the offense.

[KillerKat]

I mean, weve just changed names around. Every offseason is the samething. GM such and such has made great moves! What a legend! Then the season begins.

I’m trusting that Evero can take this D and mold it into something special. Look at what he had to do last year with a literal MASH unit. 
 

Im concerned about Canales and how he will handle HC duties. He’s a proven QB whisperer but i wasn’t really impressed by his offense in TB.

Yeah not sure how he's going to do managing the whole team and trying to call plays and fix Bryce all at the same time as a rookie hc.
