Jim Skipper and Ricky Proehl

Recommended Posts

Quite possibly two of the best coaching hires this team has made in recent memory. We all remember the impact Skipper's departure had on Stewart and Williams as neither were happy to see him leave, especially after their record-setting year when both ran for more than 1100 yards, only to get canned less than 2 seasons later.

 

Ricky Proehl's impact on a relatively unproven group of WRs is already noticeable. I'm one of the biggest AE detractors on the planet, but if he actually develops into a serviceable WR, I'll have to ive props to he and Proehl. David Gettis showed signs last night as well, but it's early. Ricky will teach these guys how to become disciplined route runners, how to find the seams and how to sit down in a zone- attributes every WR on this team not named Steve Smith was lacking.

 

If we see a couple WRs have breakout years while Stewart and Williams return to form- look no further than Jim Skipper and Ricky Proehl.

Yeah, man, I know it's only one preseason game, but between what we've heard from camp, and seeing a rookie RB seemingly fix his biggest flaw in such a short time, as well as seeing a couple of projects at WR actually showing signs of life and turning the corner in a real-game environment speaks volumes as to receiving great coaching.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
