CREDIBILITY WATCH: David Gettleman


Recommended Posts

He hasn't deviated from his plan. He said he wanted to fill holes in FA and upgrade talent at the draft with BPA. He's done exactly that

Exactly. You look at what he did in FA, then in the draft, and there is a clear plan at work here. Most of FA was spent on secondary and WR. If people were expecting us to go into the draft spending half of our picks on secondary and WRs, it would completely undermine the work he did in FA and what he said he was going to do. If people don't trust what he did in FA then that's their prerogative, but if anything that's what he's proven himself most capable at in his last job. I think given the shitstorm of a cap he inherited, he worked FA and the draft about as well as anyone could expect a man to.

    • And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.  
    • The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
