  1. That’s the way to do it. Another team can show him the market value, then we can chose to match or cash in on 2 1st rounders. I agree with you 100%!
  2. Well you kind of just made that up. 100% of reports says Houston would have taken Bryce if they had the choice. They lucked in to us taking him ahead of them.
  3. Overall I think his intentions are the right ones, unfortunately he has no idea of how to go about it.
  4. And that’s why we need a clean house after this season. This was all preventable, but happened anyway.
  5. Ickey is in a hard spot. He finished last year strong, then the new staff built a scheme that negates most of his strengths. Would be nice to hear something more fiery, but he’s a very young guy that’s been served a you know what sandwich.
  6. Bryce did carry Alabama his last year, but the concern many of us had with Bryce was if the way he played in College would translate or not, e.g. holding the ball forever and then make something happen. It hasn’t so far, but hopefully it will eventually, but I have serious doubts. The same way I have some doubts about Caleb Williams (even though he is obviously physically superior to Bryce).Spectacular plays are fun to watch, but if you can’t do “regular plays” on an ongoing basis, spectacular ones doesn’t matter, and you won’t make it in the NFL. And that’s why Mays is the easy #1 QB in the draft next year.
  7. I think this is good and balanced analysis. It is refreshing to also point out that while circumstances are not great, Bryce also have plenty of work to do. He is not absolved due to his surroundings. He has to show more. And that is the main point of many of us criticizing him, he has to show more.
  8. A very good friend of mine is a Colts fan, and he says the same thing. I expect little to no adjustments.
  9. I agree, I’m really excited about this core of players.
  10. It is sad that it feels like we would be better off just buying a copy of Dane Brugler’s draft guide every year and get rid of that whole department.
  11. 100% this. I also can’t understand why nobody has asked that question in a press conference. It is absolutely mind boggling and why the whole offensive side of the coaching staff should be fired. It is such a basic thing.
  12. That scheme would also fit our line. Let Ben choose his GM. Tell him he’s not tied to Bryce if he doesn’t want to. It could happen.
  13. This is 100% on Frank and his choice of scheme. And the refusal to make any changes.
  14. It might be to our benefit the more they distract Frank. I’m all for it.
  15. I think our defense will show out and create plenty of pressure without Burns. But bad field position will doom us. Bears 17 Panthers 10.
  16. This is a really funny and painfully true preview from CBS. I will try to watch the game, but not sure I will make it through the whole thing.
  17. You might be right, but if that’s true they should all be fired. Drafting a QB #1 overall and having to adjust the scheme so it only fits him and makes everyone else suffer is brutal.
  18. I actually don’t think our o-line talent is bad. We have at least 4 good ish starters. A lot of other teams have comparable, or slightly worse talent, but are performing much better than us. The new scheme/coaching is the main issue for our o-line.
  19. This is the one question I would like to be asked at the next press conference. Why are we using a scheme our o-line can’t execute?
  20. I agree with Varking. Not only is the offense and Bryce bad, the offense is also incredibly boring. Manning threw tons of interceptions etc. but he also had tons of exciting plays while making those mistakes. Bryce is mostly safe, boring and makes a lot of mistakes, a very rough combo.
  21. Best way to improve the Monday morning meetings is to do better. Nobody should have had to force him to give up playcalling, he should have figured that out on his own. He also should have adapted his system to fit the team personnel. So it is his own fault. Tepper also seem difficult. Both can be true.
  22. One huge strike against Frank is that he came in and said what every coach does, “we will tailor our system to our players”, and followed that with a system that doesn’t fit our o-line. That is his fault and nobody else’s. Being blindly married to a system is the sign of a limited coach unfortunately.
  23. The only good next step is to clean out the front office after the season. Hire an outside consultant to do the GM search. Give that GM absolute power over any and all football decisions. Then you start fresh.
