CRA

there were really 2 games this season where Dave and Bryce were pressed to the move the ball with a legit time constraint forced on them.....both times, the ball never moved an inch in 4 downs. Dave Canales needs every single rep he can get next preseason. He he needs to quickly move on from his mindset last year that he has arrived and doesn't need work.

the Capers way is basically the primary flaw of the Evero D. Prevent the big play. Let offenses nickel and dime you. That's not the defensive mindset of my preferred defensive folks.

I think Dave is horrific in big moments. But you can't excuse Bryce from that final drive. And I mean, Bryce played a great game for Bryce. I'm not trying to overly bash him. He gave us way more than he generally does. But if we are talking any other QB in final drive scenario......not moving the ball one inch w/ 4 downs is going to be a QB convo to some extent.

Given it's rookie Jimmy Horn Jr who probably caught 4 balls all season downfield....throwing it down and behind him probably does matter. It's the whole Bryce conundrum. His role is to lift boats. Instead it's the rookie who doesn't really get passes needed to make all the adjustments.

the real sin here is..... game on the line. 4 downs. We didn't get one ball to the hands of Tmac or Coker. That's a choice. final play and we are going to Jimmy Horn Jr? Losing is fine. Not catching the ball is fine. Going to down swinging and not taking a swing w/ the dudes he got you there is the sin. And it's a choice made. I could live w/ 89 not catching a ball in double coverage to win the game. You got to go to the dudes that matter in the big moments. I put that sad final drive on both Dave and Bryce

I don't think Frank put together the all star staff. I think that was a Tepper thought process. I also think Canales only has offensive input. I think Evero and that side of the ball was forced upon him. lastly, I think the sooner we get rid of Jim Caldwell and Capers the better.

I think the basically entire improvement as a team was largely just the difference Brown and Jackson made. O pretty much was about the same. D made a huge jump off the work of 2 players.

Canales is clearly tied to Bryce at this point. I think that's hard to deny. I would say Morgan now is as well. I don't think Tepper is an anything guy. He is a get me winning team guy. And now he is simply stuck where he knows reasonable time is now PR for his future hires. and I think Tepper did what every single owner would do with Bryce. I think the move to #1 was Tepper. He listened to the people he hired to do the job and they sold him on Bryce. So Bryce it was. He listened to the GM office.

He installs his boy Brad. Then he gets to “save the day when he sucks or claims he made Brad if he is decent.

the 27th ranked offense is back baby!!! If you only focus on like 3 games and ignore the rest, it's pretty dang good stuff! Said, every poor performer in NFL history.

In no way did I suggest that though. I merely said Tepper is setting the table for a complete clean sweep to dump everything in the trash can. So there was really no need to replace Evero. You just align him the rest of the group. Canales has past the stage where he gets a shot at another QB. I would suspect if things go meh next year...literally everyone is gone. Tepper is always evolving. All he is doing is ending his greatest mistake which is having things misaligned where bad people stay and carry over to the next era. He seems to be making sure that is over IMO

Jake Plummer come on down!!! Dan Morgan has on opportunity for you. I mean, we all know Dan can't bring in an actual young NFL QB. They would have an auto issue in camp. They have to bring in bodies that can't compete with anyone.

well, Dan helped draft him. Bryce is a Dan guy. Evero was already here. Canales in too deep at this point. He is past the point now of getting a shot with someone else. Morgan concedes all the contracts now align. So yeah, I think Tepper has aligned it all. They can sink or swim. If they swim? Great. But when they sink it's really setup for a clean sweep at this point. Bryce goes, Dave goes, Evero goes, Morgan goes. Tepper can claim he gave them a good 4-5 year try. Which is fair.

whatever arm he had, he wouldn't pull the trigger. He was the Teddy B's brother from another mother.

Alex Smith had NFL tools. Just not a NFL trigger.
