Excitement

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?

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
