Excitement

Recommended Posts

Does it feel like a new team even though we have the same players? I feel like this is a totally different team and not a single game has been played. The new coaches coming in are big names and could be total busts but right now they have our fan base excited.

I think with a blitzing defense we will need help in the secondary. We do not have a corner that I believe can play man. Gamble is not what he was and Marshall is not a true cover corner.

I am just plain excited.

If having an aggressive D is the case, I'm excited to see some more blitz packages. I don't plan on seeing our CBs playing 5+ yards off every play. I think Marshall and Gamble will be better being more physical at the line and not just giving up 5 yards off the start (I can only hope).

I agree. I'm excited to see some change in philosophy.

Gamble is good on bump and run.. I don't think he'll be as bad as you all think..

gamble is frustrating to me. possibly the way i look at his is still my expectations of what he was in his first 2-3 years. since then he has gotten worse it seems. he still has plenty of balls come his way but doesn't put have any takeaways compared to early in his career. maybe he just has not progressed or maybe regressed.

I'm excited because with this defensive staff and the talent on that side of the ball will give a dominant defense if we stay healthy. This will allow the young guys on offense more time to develop and take off some pressure. If we get Chud and Gruden on the offensive staff, I will be pumped.

We definitely have a chance for a quick turn around. Maybe 7-9 next year followed by a winning season?

    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
