I know a lot of you probably don't want to talk about this today given Hurney's offing.

But do you guys think that losing Shockey was a bit of a bigger loss than anyone really realized. This offense is almost identical to last year, yet it seems as though they fold in a lot of tough situations. I think we honestly miss the fire, passion and edge that Shockey brought to the team. I couldn't see him just sitting around on the sidelines when we are getting embarassed, I just picture him trying to hype up the team or start a fight with the opponent.

Almost identical players maybe, but very different schemes.

So must of our runs last year weren't read options? Must have been watching the wrong Panthers. By virtue of what you are saying, you are saying the team implemented a completley new offense in this offseason which isnt even close to true.

The 2 TE "Coryell" downfield passing game was so money last year that they thought they'd put it on the shelf. Clearly not signing Shockey was a huge error as the entire system has morphed into this ugly cluster-fug of read option garbage.

The effort NOT to re-sign Shockey was essentially a harbinger of this 1-5 season and the Hurney sacking. It didn't have to be Shockey, but Barnidge just can't give you the veteran savvy needed in the Coryell system. That TE needs to be a monster blocker and a crisp route runner. He needs to have toughness, experience, and a little swag.

Shockey was the epitome of this offense last year. Mike "oops, I dropped the pass" Tolbert is now the epitome of this year's failure.

Hurney is the one to blame. Then Chud, the Rivera.

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I always get lectured every year when we inevitably win some meaningless late season games to tank our draft position that we're building culture and you always have to try to win no matter what. This is why that's bullshit. Once you're out of contention it's to your competitive advantage to LOSE.

      You’re tripping I hear what you’re saying but you’re not thinking of the benefits that trade gives us. We can then move around in the second round or late in the first to grab a specific player we covet like M Starks late in the 1st. Let me clarify if we’re at 21 we grab W Nolen or K Grant then trade up late in the 1 or early in the second giving up next years second for M Starks or T Amos there so much that can happen with that additional ammo.  Allowing us still so much leverage in next years draft as well with two first rounders we’d be dam crazy not to take a trade like that it’s not the big haul or heavy amount of picks we’re hoping for but it’s gets us multiple players especially ones we’ve seemed to taken a liking to like Nolen etc along with the safety from SC. or even a Luther B or James P early in the second. This nice influx in talent would help way more than a player like Jalon W. because of his high bust rate or probability  to bust….you know what I mean.  We need players we all know that those extra picks allow us to give up something this year to add key pieces from the 29-40 range that we may really like and have a need for (T Amos) and it not hurt as much because we’re stacked in round one of 26. Which could also be a pick one trade one scenario next year giving us more ammo to manipulate the draft to a winning situation for us long term. Al that to say we desperately need to be actively seeking a trade because we could add real talent in multiple spots this year and next with that current trade your opposing.

      [The Athletic] Do teams pay attention to NFL media mock drafts? Maybe more than you’d expect

      According to their list, the top guy hasn't put out a mock yet and the 2nd guy has us trading to 4 for Carter.
