With roster turnover a new norm, building chemistry a daily process


Recommended Posts

Honestly, I love this approach, and I think it is the only right one to take when your team finished as the worst in the league last year. If you are on a poor roster, you should never feel secure. It promotes energy, effort, and focus of all the guys that come in.

And I love that they are bringing in so many different guys to see if they can help us more than just this game or just this year. I never understood why we weren't doing this every year, especially with the practice squad. Get closer looks at guys and you might find someone valuable.

I agree. To find gold you have to shake away all the sand.

I get what you are saying but this won’t build a winning team. Drafting well is the only way we get better. That’s it, simple.

Worrying about bringing in some guy to threaten TMJ did nothing to make our WRs better. Picking the right guys, like Creed Humphrey instead of TMJ would. Drafting a guy who works hard even though he knows he’s the starter is fine. Our projects haven’t succeeded because they were pushed  they failed because they weren’t really good enough to start in the NFL.

At the end of the day, guys like Addison, Norwell and maybe Philly are once every few years guys and still don’t make a large enough difference to jump from bad to contending. It makes a nice story but most of the PS/end of the roster guys are going to have no real impact on how good a team we are.

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.

    • Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
