Player-led approach

How do we feel about this?

I am personally skeptical, while I like the communication we shouldn’t wait for players to tell coaches to put them in the best position to be successful.  Derrick Brown had to ask to be in more pass rushing opportunities and Dowdle had to ask for a specific play.

On the surface given our struggles I get why people would initially hear this and be apprehensive. But we do need players being vocal and being confident and speaking up. That is what builds a culture. Especially when it involves young players getting opportunities which was not always a thing with past coaches. But the head coach still needs to assert authority and take ownership of his group and make smart decisions on gamedays. It's gonna be a long season so we might as well just let it play out and revisit this later.

I don’t have a problem with this.  Coaches should listen to their players to an extent.   No one was bashing Wilks because Gilmore told him he needed to go erase Pitts when that’s all Atlanta really had.  

I mean, they don’t need to listen to every player all the time.  But when your RB is in a grove our your best defenders speaks….its best to not ignore them

First thing I though of with Brown is he is coming back from major injury and maybe they were trying to pace him a little. 
a guy new to the team  asking for a play, and I guess they put it in for him. I am not super concerned.

Listen to player input? Obviously yes. Being a player led team? No thanks. 

It needs to be ours not your's. That's the difference between player led and player involved.

Just bad coaching. Go do your job and your players wouldn't look so bad at the begining of the season and most games. That includes the high priced free agents too. 

I hate everything about this build.

Yea I agree, they are continuing to play bums like Nick Scott who was by far the worst player on the field every snap last season and again this season and they have talent players saying “I need more opportunities”, what is going on

A few different ways this can be taken depending on how you view things:

  • Negative: This coaching staff is so inept that players are having to practically beg them to put them in situations that we as fans have been screaming for. How could David Tepper and Bryce Young do this to us?
  • Positive: The coaches are listening to the players who are trusting the coaches!
  • Neutral: Collaboration can lead to good things, so hopefully this starts the upward trend we've been waiting for.

But the players are happy...

Winston Churchill was once thought to have said, “You can always count on America to do the right thing.  After all other options have been exhausted.”

This is our approach to football on Mint St.

I loved Churchill he was a piece of work. Some great quotes out there. I have seen that there is scandalous stuff about him but I was never interested enough to pursue the details.

I don’t think they can really go there with the QB of the team. 
I mean look at the backlash even when we as fans do it.  The labels come out. They don’t need to get labeled

      I encourage you to go back and watch his college play. Notice how he immediately backpedals to 10 yards behind the LOS on almost every snap. You can't do that in the NFL. Your OTs have no chance of keeping those freak show edge rushers off of you. You can't create a pocket that deep. Bryce can chuck it when he has an airport runway in front of him to step up into. There's a reason why "ease of creating velocity" is such a talking point evaluating QBs. It's not how hard or how far you can throw the ball given a perfect situation. It's how hard and how far you can throw the ball in a typical NFL game situation and that's where a lot of my concerns with Bryce were going into the draft. There were way too many plays in his college tape that if you were watching that purely in terms of translating it to the NFL it just didn't work.

      cam Newton makes his return to Madden football

      Yeah, like I said I get it. From a revenue perspective I'm not a good customer for them. They've probably intentionally tanked offline franchise mode to try to get people online. Again, not a terrible strategy from a pure business perspective. I can't really be mad at them for doing what's good for business but yeah, from my perspective it still sucks.

      Ok let me be more specific. Smith was a stud before Newton got here do you not agree? Yes, LaFell improved under Cam but then had his best years after leaving the Panthers with Cam as the QB and going to NE. So he improved playing with someone else. Olsen was in Chicage the year before Cam arrived and statistically had the same numbers his first year with Cam.  Hope that's clearer for you.
