So earlier in the season, well towards the end of the regular season, Gamble had some rumblings on here that he "mouthed off" or did something to the team where he wasn't even activated for some of the games. Some say it was due to injury (which I believe some of it was) and some of it was just not active.

Now with a new DC and HC that might actually game plan towards our CB's strengths, do you think he might have changed his tune a little? If not that might mean we will be going CB in the first round in the draft to have a replacement on board for him. Anyone hear anything or know anything?

I understand Gamble's gripe 100% and don't hold mouthing off against him.

I do think he'll be re-energized by the change in staffs and philosophies.

Yep. With Fox essentially giving up, it was painfully obvious his agenda for this season was to get back at JR rather than win games.

Honestly surprised more players didn't react the way Gamble did.

Gamble is one of the most laid back, easy going guys on the roster. I don't blame Fox either, nor do I blame JR--I am happy we moved on. I understand why JR would not fire Fox too. Just a bad situation.

Bright side? McClain got some good experience. He looked bad at times, but let's face it--our rookies were not brought along last year. Meeks will get this group right. Throw in a rookie, we are set.

If my memory is correct, didn't this start when the team was reviewing the Ravens game (ugh...) and on the 1st TD pass to Housh, Gamble was blamed for giving up the TD instead of Godfrey which frustrated him to the point of walking out of practice?

Also, I believe Gamble's injury as much as I believe Delhomme's injury the year before...

gamble isn't really the issue though i'd like to see him work on his tackling more. the real issue are on the other side of the field but still on defense. those guys worry me. based on height we're giving up and too much attitude with the other guy. eventually, they'll all get replaced but this is more reason to chase pat patterson.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
