They've got to learn to draft before they will ever be able to get out of this awful "rebuild" stage. Until then it's just a snake eating it's tail.

Yea that 2nd int was entirely on him. Dalton trusted him in a 1v1 match up and threw it pretty much blindly and Johnson totally quit on the route. #1 receivers don't do that.

Morgan doesn't need to be. Neither does our scouting department. You can never turn around a team devoid of talent until you can consistently add it through the draft and we haven't been able to do that in a very long time.

Gotta blitz, and sometimes send more than 5 which we literally never do

We have to be one of the slowest teams in the NFL in an era where speed and quickness are the most important aspects.

Morgan can't draft and our scouting team is garbage. Its what I was afraid of before the draft and confirmed imo immediately after the draft.

This soft defense play calling is ridiculous

Good thing we never blitz, especially more than 5. Could you imagine how bad the defense could be? Thank goodness we keep everyone in soft coverage.

So far to me he seems like a guy that needs to stick to college. He can get by with name recognition and sizzle in college. I haven't seen anything special about him from a coaching perspective, and the way he talks to and coaches college kids won't work with grown men.

I wish we would go back to 4-3 base defense anyways. We are in nickel 80% of the time. I'm just not a fan of 34. It feels the most dated against modern offensive schemes.

What would you be looking to accomplish right this second with a billboard?

No? I would much rather him continue to learn from his experience/mistakes. He clearly wants to win, he clearly came in mistakenly thinking he knew more than everyone else. He definitely seems to be taking a step back. I have no idea why anyone would cheer for the team to be bad long term, especially when that doesn't guarantee in any way that he would even sell the team if so.

I honestly am still on the side of stack defense, especially pass rushers this draft and sign a stop gap qb till next year. Being forced to pass most of the time because you're playing from behind because your defense cant stop anyone isn't good for any qb, especially a rookie, especially with how good our running game has looked when we are able to use it before having to go one dimensional every game because of the score.

Our offense has been much more explosive with Dalton in there? In literally every facet. Every single player on the offense has improved statistically with Dalton at qb.

Spoiler alert - he's not. I think Canales is already pretty sure of that.

If this is a quote taken from the processing blue podcast this morning then it's definitely cropped in a way to make it seem more more official than what he said on the podcast. On the podcast he had no idea what was going to happen and threw it out hypothetically that if we didn't play him again this season then he was definitely done here and he didn't know if or when they would play him but he thought after these next few winnable games that if we lose them then he sees a world where they might as well play young. He definitely wasn't declaring anything or talking like he had some inside information

I agree. There is no way any coach could make our defense good consistently. I just think there is a stubbornness to not try things or change the approach.

Elite defensive coordinators can scheme up pressures the same way good offensive coordinators can scheme people open imo.

I disagree strongly. Blitzing and being aggressive puts you at risk of getting burned. We are getting burned anyway. We are giving up the most points in the NFL by far playing it safe and letting them run down our throats and the qb stand back all day and pick our secondary apart. At least when you play aggressive and blitz you have the chance to cause confusion or make the qb make a mistake. We don't have the coverage talent to play super soft and let the qb have all day to throw either. We are a historically bad defense this season playing soft and safe. What is there to lose?

So 22.5 points per game without young which would put us right in the middle.

What do they rank in ppg the past 4 games?

That is going to happen once you're behind and the other team is running the clock out and your offense has to pass to try to get back in to the game.

Exactly. That's the problem. You could say run the ball and it takes the ball out of the other teams hands but that doesn't matter if you can't make a defensive stop. If they score on almost every drive then it still doesn't matter and you're still going to end up playing from behind and inevitably forced to pass anyways.

I don't want to reach on a qb just to take one. If there is no qb worth the #1 pick then don't reach. We clearly need defensive talent and especially pass rush which this draft should have a lot of.

Yea. Ian Thomas being back is a net negative. No idea why we keep looking his direction. Dumb decision by Dalton but he was assuming Thomas would run a better route and use his size advantage to screen off corner.
