And yeah, I can see not being fully up to speed on the turf. It’s not like part of the interview process was “Well Frank you know we have a small town big controversy here about turf vs grass.” But he was not touching that at all. Set up the non answer right off with the “If I don’t answer the question you asked it’s because I am sometimes selectively hard of hearing.

He did intimate that a running QB who can pass from the pocket is preferable. Running is preferable to passing, but you need to have those chunk plays down field. It's standard fare that makes sense.

He hedged on whether he'll call plays. It will likely depend upon the OC. I don't think we'll get any big names out there, and "bye-bye McAdoo," it seems.

A running QB who can pass from the pocket...

sounds oddly familiar...

 

(though I prefer the QB not run for his life and just make passes in the pocket)

The logic behind running is a breath of fresh air after 12 years of "ThE mOsT wInNiNgEsT tEaMz RuN dA bAlL aT lEaSt 20 tImEs PeR gAmE"

Completely ignoring the fact that if you're winning you kill the clock at the end of the game by running.

Rivera and Rhule were so dumb about that crap it was infuriating.

He went a lot deeper on what he is looking for then I was expecting.  Dumbass fowler asked him to evaluate the qbs on the roster and he clearly side stepped that as of today we only have one and he is injured.  Fowler is a dumbfug, always has been

He didn't sidestep it, he just forgot to answer it because he was too busy waxing on about the first part.

Im guessing no one caught the comment about running a zone blocking scheme from Reich? Thats a huge change for us.  If im not mistaken... we havent tried a true ZBS since 2007 under Davidson.

Campen's Zone/Power Hybrid that he ran in GB shows well in that respect.  He knows every scheme and how to blend them.  He coached up two of my fave OL prospects in the past decade in Bitonio and Bakthiari so I think we've got a lot to really like with the approach.  This bodes really well for Brady & Icky.

I will go back and watch again but I think he side step because there is only one dude under contract and he cannot play.  There was really nothing he could say about the situation, but I will watch again and see if you are right.

 

But all in all the first question was damn near moronic

These kinds of events are rarely that good. It’s a formality and the truth will come out in the players we put on the roster and the success we have on the field. My take away is when it comes to football, he has a plan and has the NFL experience to back it up. We’re in a great position to get a great young QB in here with a lot of talent around them. They need to execute on a QB successfully and roll them out properly. Barring injuries and the unexpected this roster is built to compete this season.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
