To put our suckyness into perspective


Awesomeness!!

Recommended Posts

In John Foxes first year, Rodney Peete was the starting QB, and we started 3-0. This coming off an awful 1-15 season, and Fox had the same players mind you. We ended up 7-9, winning 4 out of our last 5. In his season year, Fox went to CAREER BACKUP JAKE DELHOMME and started 5-0, and of course, ended up a John Kasey kick away from winning a Super Bowl.

Ron Rivera punted the ball on a 4th an 1 from the 45 with a 6'6 260 QB that would have won the game.

Offence is but the defense is not.

The only year our defense was actually top tier was 2003 when we everybody on the line was a stud and our secondary actually belonged in the NFL. Every year after that we had a lot of injuries, and it was never really that consistent, and a lot of patch work and good coaching went into our decent defense. I agree on the offense.

Say what you want about Fox but when he was allowed to he fielded a good defense. Not a great one but itwas simple and would take advantage of the other teams mistakes. The rest of his coaching flat out sucked though.

So and this is interesting because THIS team is way better than any team John Fox ever had here, and he won.

lol....that simply isn't true.

Fox has some better teams. Don't sleep on how great defensively some of his early teams were up front. We were the NYG's back in the day....hands down best DL in the NFL. Some of those also featured damn good special teams to go with it.

2003 > 2012. Don't let the video game offense fool you. Thay team was flat out built to play in 2003 with the rules in place

    • It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly. 
    • If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
