We improved the staff, so WTF is going on?

I’m looking at our 2021 staff and comparing it to our 2022 staff, and this is one reason I was expecting an improved product on the field. Better, more experienced coaches should equal better play.

So why aren’t we seeing results so far? Are the players not as good as we thought or are the coaches being hamstrung by Rhule?

Cause we aren’t winning the turnover battle, we aren’t winning the 3rd down battle, and guys hit the fg they kicked from 50+ yards.

The team has looked completely unprepared for the first halves of both of the last two games. No one here can pinpoint exactly why because we’re not in those practices and not in that locker room day-in and out. That said, we can judge the result and it seems like sporadic talent is the only thing keeping this team competitive at this point. The game plans have been crazy limited. Not sure we even have a go to for third and long. 

Which is strange because last year, we'd start fast and then be unable to do anything in the third quarter. This year our third quarter has been better, but we look horrible to start the game.

Here is the cold hard truth right here. 

The offensive problems were not Joe Brady's fault. That's why you see the same product on the field. We have pretty much ignored offense until this last season in areas where it matters. Mainly OL and TE. I know some will say TE isn't super important but for a New or Young QB it is. The OL should have been rebuilt day one and it's still not great. It will take another few years to really have a unit you can trust. 

 

On the defensive side we have good players in almost every position. Coaching is the biggest problem there. 

What DC looking that this roster goes yeah this unit will give up 20 points. 

You have Burns, Luvu, Jackson, and Chinn that play at a high level. 

That's all players you can build around. There is zero excuses on why this unit gives up so many 3rd and 4th down conversions except poor coaching.

We're like a week away from another players only meeting, and I wish it was one where all the players went to Tepper and asked him to fire Rhule

I think the players like and appreciate playing for Rhule. Rhule didn’t fail to stop Daniel Jones from running for a 1st on 3 and 6.

The staff was not improved. The new hires were actually guys who could not find other coaching jobs and really didn't have many suitors.

Right now, the biggest nightmare would be to find out that McAdoo and Wilks were brought in to be the replacements. And they could certainly be even worse head coaches. Their own histories point to that.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
