Ricky Proehl and WR development

LaFell just strikes me as a complacent player... and he has for a while now.  I think as long as he's getting a check he's good.

 

Smitty has always given Proehl huge props for helping him take his game to the next level when he was younger, and Ginn looked like an actual WR for us this year... I think he caught more TDs this season than he had his entire career up to this point.

 

Let's see how McNutt and King look this preseason/season.  They're both young, good-sized (McNutt is 6'4"), athletic receivers and we'll probably be seeing at least one of them in an increased role after an offseason of development.

I think the jury is still out on Ricky.

 

An example of a WR coach getting the most out of his players has to be whoever the coach is in Seattle. They don't exactly have an all-star cast of wideouts, but those guys make spectacular catch after spectacular catch. 

 

Would love to know his teaching methods.

Would that training include having the guys run around the field  in comeback drills and toss the ball up the air to see who can leap for it or make a circus catch  The best get playing time and a big contract and the rest get released.

He did a great job.  I mean Lafell, decent route running which is coached but Ricky can't catch the damn ball for him.  Ginn....we got him cheap because he was horrible at routes, still has problems with catching it, but he'll get better with more chances....hopefully we keep him.  Olsen is just a beast most of the time and well smitty....no words can describe this man... McNutt...I think he shows promise did you see him in that atl game I believe almost pull down that TD, fully covered just the ball was thrown a little too much to the sideline....his first catch in the NFL could of been a TD.....I think he's doing great...KEEP POUNDING!

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      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.
