This. Honest introspection on his behalf would have seen that size and strength were his biggest weaknesses. He looks no different. With the programs in the NFL, he could have come back to camp 10 lbs of muscle heavier. Easily. If had done so, it would have been reported on. It would have been the hottest story…. But we never saw anything of the sort, so it probably never happened. He showed improvement this last game, likely from Andy’s tutelage. He has to show something VERY special to close the season out to change my thinking on him… like 4 game winning streak with a clutch 4th quarter comeback. Then maybe.

With Dan Morgan, I don’t see this team trying to get cute or gimmicky talent, and I especially don’t see him REACHING for gimmicky tweeners. Football Players If he can get guys in his image, we’ll be rolling. I also don’t subscribe to the multi year plan to rebuild. If you hit a couple drafts just right…

Dawg he is not. A dawg’s goal on game day is to hurt someone’s feelings. That’s not DJ. Now X, I’m telling y’all, that’s a dawg in the making. We have to hear that man mike’d up.

You have been erased.

I hereby bestow a name on Bryce, which shall stand from hence forth: The Terminator

Thus far, most of the players that Morgan has fingerprints on have contributed. Several in the draft class and UDFAs are showing potential. I don’t think he has picked up a tweener. I’m cautiously optimistic.

The majority of huddlers by and large are fair and objective, even the people that want Bryce out. I don’t see anyone that ‘hates’ Bryce. So fair is fair. Objective. Bryce has been canned ass all season. Saints are terrible, but we are terrible-er. Yesterday he played a clean game. The third and long pickup to XL was the best throw I’ve seen him throw. He looked like he wanted to play. He walked the sidelines and engaged teammates. His decision making was improved. His lack of arm strength was apparent on a few throws yesterday, some passes should have been picked. All QBs have those, so ok. His long throws were better but need more oomph. I think Andy has been very good for him. Bryce is still a galaxy away from what we need, but yesterday was a big improvement.

Agreed on the internal stuff. The whole team felt looser today.

The team played hard from go all the way to the end. It was really nice to see. I have no false ambition but a watchable offensive performance was a very pleasant surprise.

Was he missed today or was it addition by subtraction?

He threw a pseudo-dart to Xl I think for a key first down that was nice. His runs showed more waggle and confidence He had some near picks but all QBs do. Overall a clean game and he appeared more calm and confident. His calls at the line seemed correct. He roamed the sideline and engaged his teammates. Fair is fair, and today he showed some good play. Yes, it was the saints, but this is a better look than any of his other games this year. Im far, far from convinced of his ability to be a franchise QB but I’ll ride the ride for now.

My optimism lies in the fact that Dan knows what a football player who loves the game looks like.

Rhule strikes me as the grown man who shops at buckle and wears Abercrombie cologne. What is it with T hiring narcissists but insisting at the same time that he is the lead dog?

UGA is a very difficult watch.

#90, Stephiylan Green on Clemson. Another local product. I know him well. They have him at DT, but he played DE in HS. He’s beasting tonight. He’s put on tons of weight but his speed and power is something. He’s put guys on roller skates all night. It’ll be fun to watch him develop.

I love Seller’s game. Dude is a baller.

New guys, even Luke, come in completely blown away by the speed of the NFL. Expectations should be tempered, but my fantasy team is hurting for a stud RB. The Chuba train may have come to a halt.

I see him as a bridge. Knowledgeable. He won’t win you games, but I’m not sure he’s really supposed to either. I see his role as someone who can at least complete a catchable pass and show our receivers some of the finer points of the game. With him throwing the ball in practice and in games, I can see our receivers and line having a chance to at least improve. Get a rhythm. Tempo. Will he throw picks? Hell yes he will throw picks. Lots. Will he win us some games? Yes. Lots? Um, nope. Will the individual players improve around him? I actually think so. So this leads to the ultimate question: What is the ultimate goal/purpose of the bridge QB? Win half of the games and kill draft position? Lose all games and destroy all morale, get players injured, promising players regress and coaches get fired? I argue that the perfect bridge QB is a veteran almost has been who has played at a high level for a time, student of the game and knows the finer points. Will make plays that give receivers a chance to develop. Since his style of play is predictable, the offense can develop a rhythm, hopefully helping to avoid injury. ALSO: They have to be just bad enough to lose you most of your games reliably. throw 2-3 TDs in a game, but also be good for a critical pick and/or strip sack. To me, this guy IS Andy. We need a good pick, so we need to lose, but we can’t let our young talent get hurt with hospital balls or grow stale with dump offs all game and never being targeted. You can’t have the locker room hate the guy because he’s going to murder their payoff contract. Guys will still have a chance to show out, but they’ll still lose quite a lot. He knows his role and he seems to be cool with it. I’d be 100% cool with him being a tutor for whomever we draft as our QB going forward.

I love everything about Steve and what he represents. He wouldn’t/couldn’t be bought. He is the only coach under T that left with dignity still intact. He was a winner, but I concede that he was not a champion.

I need to see him in a few more games before I can say either way. I was a staunch Andy-stan. Still am, but I need to see some more games. Father Time robs you of endurance and will hurt your damn feelings.

Wilks’ stare would have cut Bryce in half like a laser. He wouldn’t have ever agreed to being tied to Young.

So here’s where I get weird…er. Hypothesis A: T is pulling ALL the strings… probably not ALL. Hypothesis B: T pulling NONE of the strings. No sane person would say this. Therefore: T has to be I pulling at least SOME of the strings. No evidence is needed for this conclusion because it just makes sense. To what extent he exerts is where the opinions vary. The access this team gives the media is pretty limited so evidence of malfeasance is hard to come by. Everything we get is a 3rd hand account at best. Every former coach has been completely mum so I’m sure a strong no disclosure is in the contract and no one wants to cross T in the legal arena. Dionte I’m not really upset about. We got something. There’s obviously damaged goods going on with him so whatever. I just want to win some football games.

You forgot to add not taking the 2 firsts for Burns, destroying any leverage in the process. Promoting Dan? You will have naysayers, but as the obvious becomes even more obvious, they will become fewer and fewer.

The list is endless with the Tep regime hype train with nothing but turds floating in the bowl. Whisperer! NFL ready. Super processor. Dream team. Innovator. Bryce, Rhule, Reich, Canales (TBD), Evero, Fitt, etc. Only the afterthoughts, for the most part, have shown anything promising. Chuba. Luvu. Wilks. Sam was hyped, and actually did show progress but he was dished out. So the harder they sell, the bigger the failure. We just need some honest to God football players that actually LOVE the game itself and can’t stand losing. Those are the dudes that expect the same from their teammates, don’t quit and don’t check out after contract #2.

The NFL knows that Sanders = money. A way will be engineered so that he only is allowed to go to a big market, major city team. They will want him on as many national games as possible and that’s not happening if he comes here.
