Still working with 'Rudys'


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

I brought up this idea after his first draft. I'm afraid Gettleman likes to get UDFA guys, and small school guys, and show that he can't find talent by having them play immediately by providing no better options there.

it worries me.

I don't necessarily see it as an ego thing. To me it's more a case of going to the well too often

"Hey this worked before. Let's try it again (and again, and again).

The only reason I say it may be an ego thing, back in Gettleman's introductory press conference he talked about how he found a player and they turned out to be special (a OLineman into a DT, iirc) player. It seemed like he was touting it like that would be his motto.

It's possible that his "we are cap challenged" phrase has something to do with our current roster. Looks like he's bringing in "mercenaries" in an attempt to seal up short-comings while at the same time.building thru the draft.

I'd agree. And I'm okay with that.

Just have to have the right building blocks long term.

I don't think Bell and Chandler are long term starters.

Gettleman hit it big with Victor Cruz. Sometimes I think it may have skewed his ideas about undrafted free agents.

 

I think its less that and more we had no other option. Money is and will still be a issue but DG has done well in the draft so far and look at Philly Brown. He looks to because a good role player for year to come. I takes time to build a program and Gettleman is building ours the only real issue I have with the Panthers at the moment is coaching skill on the offense.

It's possible. Not how I read him but ya never know.

The cap is absolutely an issue.

If I remember correctly we tried to sign some FA OL but really even the avg guys were being paid more than we could offer. I think it also takes a good coordinator to use Rudys and for sure Rivera is great at it but Im not sold on Shula being that guy. Sometimes the scheme makes the players or the players make the scheme and I think its the latter for Shula.

Went after Anthony Collins, as I recall.

And yeah, salaries were ridiculous.
