When I watched it I kept asking myself if he had ever done these drills before. His footwork was god awful. It looked like a really bad tire drill. None of it was fluid. It was all clunky and painful to watch, like one of those videos where someone loses their balance, tries to save themselves, then face plants down a staircase.

And when you find a guy that takes extreme pride in turf management, it shows. I do turf maintenance and lawns are cut with a 45 degree directional change weekly and I'm fanatical about the stripes, watering, fertilization, etc. If you set it up right and train the lawn correctly, maintenance is pretty damn straight forward and even high traffic turf can take one hell of a beating and bounce right back.

There's only so much flex you can engineer into a product and have it withstand safety standards and durability for transport and installation. It also has to be stapled/staked into place to keep it locked down and prevent the product sliding. Weight alone won't do it. Grass roots tear in small areas or stretch like a mesh, but the product as a whole still retains it's rigidity, unless it's a sopping wet monsoon. Then the roots actually lose their hold in the soil. With proper drainage and vacuum systems underneath, water can be sucked out from underneath the field to keep it relatively dry.

Fields can be heated and drains installed underneath real turf. There's ways to do it but it's obviously a lot of maintenance and it's pricy.

People still watch this poo?

If he does or doesn't, it's all on him at this point. I hope he finds success. It seems like any QB associated with Rhule has pretty much watched their career go down in flames, except for T2G, and he's just a backup right now.

I'm not suggesting tie them to MC for a new HC to have him as their starting QB. I'm just saying here's what I got from him based on his limited time last year. It wasn't good, but how often do you get a Dak, RW or TB12? I have no issues drafting a new QB. At best, MC is QB3 for now if PJ hangs around and we draft a new QB. But I also think any HC with any NFL experience is going to look at what Rhule did and shake his head saying WTF. Right now MC is the equivalent of Will Grier to me.

I have a hard time with anything the guy did in preseason as a preview to what he can do. Matt Rhule was god awful and put no one in a position to have any success. Icky, Bozeman, BC, QB competition, it was all god awful. Getting mental reps doesn't mean squat. He needed to be practicing live reps to gain experience and adjust to NFL player speed. That's how you develop QBs. At this point, I see him as a 3rd round rookie since he never made it through TC and preseason. All I ever hoped is he might be a capable backup at some point and possibly surprise us with some starter potential. I don't expect much from him going forward or that he will even have any shot as a starter. The whole situation is one big poo stain.

I guess it depends on which trade you're looking at. Remember, we traded up to get him.

We have had some of the most boring offenses in football the last 3 years and Turner wasn't exactly an offensive mastermind. Depending on what Shanahan does with him that offense, he could be ridiculous.

They like overpaying for used up QBs. Maybe we could trade straight across for Sammy D or the brown bomber.

All depends on how he performs. If he can lead this team, with PJ at QB and actually improve the team making good roster decisions, then he deserves to be part of the coaching search. That's about all I'm willing to say because I want this process to be thorough and as many qualified candidates as we can interviewed. If he's the best out of all those we interview, great. If not, so be it.

Tom Brady looked like a shell of a man yesterday. He is skinny, getting divorced, eating kumquat paste smoothies or whatever his diet regimen is now and he played like ass. That ain't the same tb12 from last year. I always enjoy a win but I ain't drinking all that kool-aid yet.

So who's out? Moton?

It's like there was some type of spider bite.

He might have more talent than he was able to show under Rhule? The hell you say.

Same thing. Our entire offense was run through CMC by coaches design. They finally had to do something different because they had no choice.

CMC made this offense predictable. I am really interested in seeing what happens when he isn't the focal point.

Anyone still think McAdoo isn't the biggest problem with this offense?

Too soon. Too soon.

You have to stop at some point since you don't want to have too many high picks coming up for contract at once. If we're stacking picks, I hope we go for Harbaugh. HC with experience which seems to be a Tepper requirement. Not too many young offensive minds with a lot of experience available.

Eagles would be the ideal trade partner with 2 1sts. Teams know they have a small window. If Burns can help get them to the SB and elevate their defense to stop Mahomes, Jackson, etc, he's worth it. A ring fixes a lot. I'd ask for 2 1sts and their 2nd since it would be essentially a 3rd. 3 1sts, 2 nds, a 3rd and 2 4ths will attract a really good HC.

Baker was playing worse than Pickles. Of course that's like asking yourself which poo smells worse. They both stink.

The Giants offense has almost no one at WR and they have Saquan. Our version of CMC. They are winning games with less offensive talent than we have(had). Coaching matters. Culture matters. Daniel Jones is actually looking like a QB. I don't give a poo if we have all top 10 picks in next year's draft. If we don't get the leadership right in this organization, we're on a fast train to Shitsville.
