Team needs

It is blatantly clear that we need a FS. In order of dire need: FS, OT (Byron Bell got abused), OG, DT, DE

Bell did not get abused. Our tackles were the only solid part of the line. Both our guards got kicked in the nuts, however. It was the middle of our line that was failing, not the ends.

The guards played like crap, I'm not denying that, but Byron Bell got manhandled often yesterday. I'm not even a Byron Bell hater, but the pressure from the right side was obvious.

They overloaded to the right, but most of the failure on that side was on Hangartner. Bell didn't whiff on anyone yesterday and only got pushed back into Cam once or twice. At least Bell had his hands on a man in front of him, same can't be said for others on the line.

We need to get better next week. I don't forsee making major personnel changes barring injury; we've got these guys for the long haul this year. We've seen the offense work efficiently earlier in the pre-season, we've seen the defense get stops when it needs to. Creating turnovers should be a point of emphasis in every defensive meeting room. The mental errors that stall drives and stop momentum need to be minimized. But because we're not in a position to do anything significant with our players, I want to see the ones we do have improve week to week.

basically the same needs we had coming into last offseason

Exactly

Ever since last offseason we said our needs were RG, DT, CB, S. And right now they are still needs. It's like Hurney ignores them to spite the fans and pretend like he knows something that any other GM in the league doesn't when really he's just inadequate.

Yeah, I'm going to say that the O-line is going to get one more chance, and then changes will be made.

    • 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.
