Basically the same things:

No Offense, can't move the ball, no time to pass, no blocking etc....

Now depending on when you post, the defense is good, awesome, sux etc...

Coaches suck, vanilla game plan etc.....

Its all relative = you must be able to run in order to pass - you must be able to pass in order to run. The D has actually played well considering they are playing 75% of the game minutes. so...

I continue to beat the dead horse::beatdeadhorse5:

Until our OC and Headcoach learn that you can't keep using a double TE set and then motioning more people into the line, we will have 0 (thats zero) success. (period) Running or passing - no success on offense.

Watch other teams and you will see single back sets running from spread formations - but WE cannot seem to ever learn to adjust to that.

We are stuck in an outdated offensive scheme and no amount of FA's, Jeff Otahs etc. will help us as long as we stay that way.

Does the name Chuck Knoll ring a bell? Just like the game evolved and passed him by - it has passed us by as well.

It won't help us this year, but if we could find just 1 thing to do well - it will help our players morale leading into the next season (Lock out or not).

the playcalling had always been fairly conservative and straightforward. But the coaching staff is just going to keep doing it until they execute better. Maybe around 10 weeks or so they'll finally get it.

Somehow Meeks is keeping the D from getting destroyed even though they are on the field too long and the line gets awful pressure. I hope he stays.

    • This is gonna be longest six weeks ever 
    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
