JR upset with QB play, supports GM

It makes me wonder if the new head coach will have any say in drafting. Or has Fox ruined that for him...

Good point. He did say in the presser, "Last time we gave the coach what he wanted. THis time we are going to find a coach who gives us what we want."

That coach will be a defensive coordinator because their aren't many OCs available. The fact that they can't run the O doesn't bother me; typically, defensive head coaches are weaker game managers. Fox sucked at clock management. Get the good OC and QB coach and leave them alone.

THis absolutely convinces me we will take a quarterback in the first whether we stand pat or trade down. Jr said we were building through the draft and this is the number 1 priority. If there is a lockout and the free agency period is delayed he won't want to leave things up to chance or unsettled. The only way to make sure that happens is to draft a QB in the first.

We have holes all over the place but as usual everything gets piled onto the QB.

I think we can address some of our holes in FA so not as much piling as much a risk/reward thing. IMO Nagata is better then any DT in the draft. Kyle Orton or Rex Grossman is not. FA this year is full of good DTs, DEs, and CBs ripe for the picking but on the offensive side of the ball its a little stale. Think how nuts Jon Beason would be if we got him a 3 gap DT...

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
