This is not a good team. Idk what people expect. I’m on the fence whether Canales is a competent coach but I’m certain firing Canales won’t fix it this year

Nobody is ignoring it. It’s just we’ve invested all our resources into drafting Young, finding him weapons, and signing offensive linemen. We’ve had one of the least talented defenses in the league and an offense who keeps giving the ball away or going 3 and out. Whether Evero is a good coach or not…. He’s certainly more capable than what he’s shown here.

Yeah… the top of the QB draft class isn’t looking great. Seems Sellers is at the top of most boards. But he’s completed 11 and 12 passes on his first two games. Idk if he is an nfl level passer. Maybe Nuss cuts back on some of the silly plays this year. It’s still early, Beck is off to a good start in Miami. Maybe Dante Moore at Oregon shows QB1 talent. So guys could emerge. But I also wouldn’t be mad if we ended up with an Anthony Hill, Bain/Faulk, or a Caleb Downs type on defense.

At least Jamarcus has the excuse of being high out his mind for his bad play

True. Look at the Colts. Brought Jones into compete with AR, Jones won the job and led them to an impressive win today.

This is true… but also signals that he can coach a competent defense with talent. Which we lack because we invested all of our resources into supporting Young. And today we gave up 26, but that included two picks and a lost fumble and two times we turned it over on downs. If we had a semi capable offense capable of sustaining drives and not giving terrible field position maybe our D looks okay

It pains me to say this but Morgan might need to go if some of these rookies don’t start flashing soon. look at our 2023 draft class and then our 2024. How many guys can we say are reliable starters? I didn’t love Scourton, Princely, or Etienne and felt Etienne was a reach. tho by doubling down pass rushers who fell in the draft I’m hopeful one pans out. But even great coaches need talent… and we don’t have much on either side of the ball right now.

He was surefire top 5 pick prior to the season. They had a new coach and severely underperformed this season. Went from ranked 11th with multiple NFL prospects to 4-8. Fifita also regressed a ton with the new staff. I watched them early in the season and their whole offense was just throw the ball in Tet’s general direction and hope he gets it and makes a play. which is kinda why I think some of the separation stuff gets overblown. When your QB isn’t throwing with any anticipation and accuracy or is staring down one receiver you’re going to be making more contested catches

He seems to be sticking to his board and stacking talent. Which is what great franchises like Pittsburgh and Baltimore have done. They picked Tet because they ranked him higher than the defensive players available. They took multiple edges because they felt like that’s where the value was. Princely was a guy who probably should’ve went R2. I think long run this will payoff. Stacking talent with playmakers and the front 7 after building the O-Line last year.

There’s some legitimate talent and potential available. I like Stutsman. There’s a few guys at DT I think could pan out. Like Walker or Stackhouse. Like Damien Martinez as well. Solid blocker and strong runner.

A little disappointed we didn’t grab Winston or Watts who I really liked. Also loved Burch. But can’t complain about Princely. Athletic, productive against high level comp. We had a huge need and he helps fill it

Wasn’t a huge Scourton guy. Lack of production last season, didn’t test at combine. Bit of a tweeter imo

He’s nothing like Legette as a prospect. Legette was very raw. Had 12 total TDs in 5 college seasons and had 1500 yards for his whole 5 year college career. Tet has nearly averaged that as a Sophomore and Junior. Hes not as athletic but much bigger and much more natural as a receiver.

You ask if Frank was the problem as if we were good this year. We went 5 and 12. Our receiving core consisted of Mingo, Chark, and Terrace Marshall last year and we had one of the worst offensive lines in football. Adding Coker, Legette and Sanders and the additions to our OLine. I’m sure Reich could win a couple more games as well.

I like Damien Martinez. He’s big and an absolute load to bring down. Also shifty and he was very well rounded. Easily Miami’s best blocker in its backfield. And showed nice hands as well. I’ve seen people suggest he could go in R4 later and having watched about every game of his… I think he could be a steal.
