The last line says it all. There is quite a few OL we let go that have had a resurge elsewhere. I’ll argue that our OL coaching has been butt awful across the board and that is not helping much of anything. AVT would be a monster under a better coach and Becton would be more than salvageable. Mims was a bad miss for sure, but most every WR and RB we have gotten is an under achiever with this coaching staff and QB. See Cobb, Lazard, Moore, Cook, you name them.
Two hands. Rich Caster, Jerome Barkum, Rob Moore, Keyshawn Johnson, Laveranues Coles, Santana Moss Others: Quincy Enunwa - promising career cut short by injury. Wayne Chrebet - UDFA
Yes it was. this was well documented at the time (Becton aside). Now as it turns out essentially all of those guys didn't pan out, but it was part of his criteria FWIW that pick could also be criticized for letting "need" bias the process. there are a lot of posts here where people are saying we should be drafting for need. COuld be another case where that backfired Im in the camp who prefers plans and identities. Obviously you also want it to be a good plan/identity too the hard part though is actually implementing it. it's tough and requires resilience
Good read. I don’t buy into a lot of the wild numbers that no one knows what the fuck they mean but he makes a lot of good points. I don’t disagree with abandoning the screen game but it seems obvious when we’re going to run them hence they’re trash. The duo blocking stuff is fascinating. We have a man blocking offensive line coach with an offensive coordinator running a zone blocking offense. Makes sense. Of course McVay and LaFleur are leading the way when McVay literally ran the best offense in the league with outside zone blocking. League catches up, he switches to what works for his personnel. A novel concept.
That's an innovator. The closest we get to an innovator is Adam Gase tripping balls in his opening presser. Instead we'll get more CULTURE guys that bring INTENSITY and a mountain of CLICHÉS.
I have noticed 2 things about the playoffs -teams are running a lot of pre-snap motion. Fraud Hackett rarely does -Teams are getting very creative with the routes that their running backs are running in the passing game. Hackett LOL not a chance he does that. It wasn't in daddy's 1982 playbook
Sounds like something that would have come from the notebook of a twenty year old Adam Gase. Like him, Nania may be "where the league is going to."
