So maybe they were right.

This is not a "I told you so thread" at all. Cause I had some doubts.

However, maybe Hurney and JR were not being 100% cheap, and were being honest when they said that they thought that they had talent at the WR position when they were asked about bringing in a veteran.

Maybe we still should have, maybe we would be 2-4, or 3-3. But maybe not.

Its still very early, and it is only 1 good game by Gettis and LaFell, but I believe these guys showed why, during training camp, Hurney thought they could get the job done with competent QB play.

Maybe Hurney CAN draft a WR. Either way, he stuck to his guns, good for him.

I am optimistic, but I know the pessimists will say that JR was being cheap, and it just worked out for them for one week.

I am willing to go through the growing pains with these receivers, as long as I see progress.

If these guys can continue to get better, which is a BIG if. We may have a solid, cheap core for years to come.

This is why you dont judge rookies after 5 weeks, but at the same time this is why you dont say that they are gonna be great after ONE game. But, we do know what they are capable of.

We beat the worst team in the league by a field goal and all of a sudden Fox and Hurney are gods again.

lol

You said it before I could...

SF is garbage. We'll be lucky to be 4-12 this year and after a loss to the Seahawks, those that were hating on Fox/Hurney earlier will start to do it again.

      Baldinger on the 2026 LB Class

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      As long as we have DB, odd man fronts are the way to go for us. We want to line DB up between the guard and tackle (4i-tech) because of how quick he is off the snap and his punch on the guard off the snap. If anyone is wondering why he pretty much has to be doubled (or combo blocked) just about every snap, its because he is lined up in that spot in our odd man front. If we change to an even front, it becomes a lot harder to have DB play the 4i-tech.  Not sure if I would say Evero likes smaller NTs - I wouldn't call Bobby Brown a small NT by any sense. I think we run a 1-tech NT, so they are usually getting double teamed (or combo blocked) by concept alone. I actually think Bobby Brown did a pretty good job of eating blocks and being positionally sound on most runs at him (not his fault we were rocking ass LBs last year + Wharton being god awful). The bigger problem came on the toss plays/outside runs where DB wasn't able to blow it up in the backfield (i.e., the Bills game). Lloyd should help with the run D and getting a rangy LB in the draft will definitely help. There are also some good 1-tech DTs (and 0-techs) that can be instant day 1 starters for us in the draft.

      Thanks for bringing receipts. I appreciate the facts, but they are a stark contrast to what we see on the ice, but maybe, as I've said before, his "aw sh!t" moments just seem to weigh heavier than his "attaboy" moments.
