Ricky Proehl and WR development

Steve Smith has directly credited Ricky Prohel as a big influence on his career.  Ted Ginn showed a lot of promise under his tutelage.  This next season will be the test of his coaching skills because he will undoubtedly be working with some new, young talent that will need to produce right away.  Especially if Smith misses any time next season...the WR corps could be the weakest link on the team unless somebody steps up.

I think Ginn could one day move into Smitty's position.  They both started out doing special teams and are very similar in size.  Smitty once relied on his speed and heart.  Ginn relies on his speed and I think he is developing into a threat.  We still need a No. 1 to go opposite Ginn.  I would use Smitty next year to go slot and move him around.   He still has talent, but has slowed some and is not as durable as he once was.  I would use him in situations and let him rest.  He still is the best we have, but we must look to the future.

yep.

 

allen had talent. i have to thihnk that a lot of the reason for his success so early had to do with prep work he had done with proehl.

Agreed which really surprised me that the Panthers passed him up in the second round especially since Prohel was praising him before the draft... Maybe if we would've had a 3rd rounder

      A lot of young QB's struggle with holding on to the ball top long. He has gotten better progressively in that regard. Pocket Time(in Sec):  2.5(2023), 2.3(2024), 2.2(2025) Time to Throw(in Sec): 2.9(2023), 2.79(2024), 2.82(2025) The divedends have been fairly small, is the issue.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      I'm firing DC, though I think it actually makes the job less attractive. He's not prepared to be a HC and it's showed. A new HC is not going to be tied automatically to BY. He's going to want to bring in some level of competition in the QB room because anyone who has ever watched football knows our QB room is lacking. If he doesn't, that tells a more interesting tale of who's really calling the shots.  Dave hasn't been decisive enough in game and that leadership council BS has trust fall vibes. Our offense has been pathetically stale and vanilla. Our run game while good has made no sense based on who has been playing best. Our defense is improved but they can't be expected to hold opposing teams to below 17 a game because our offense can't score consistently.  We've beaten some teams we shouldn't have beaten, specifically GB and the Rams, and I think our record doesn’t accurately reflect where the team and the coaching really is. We've fallen flat against a geriatric rookie QB leading a 2-10 NO team and got our ass handed to us TWICE. We're unprepared for the biggest games.  This is what happens though when real coaching candidates turn down interviews because your owner is a narcissistic butthole. You get someone no one else bothered to call and you get the results everyone else would have expected if they had.

      The Saints would be 2-12 if not for us. We are 50% of their wins. A organization serious about the playoffs does not get bullied by a sh*t team like the Saints TWICE. It's over my brotha.
