Random Commanders Thoughts

I agree - but we also have to recognize that the 3 new skill position guys you just referenced have a grand total of 10 games total between them. I doubt the offense as currently constructed is a finished product.
 
I have to say this all seems like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

This team is about to churn and burn another front office.

Every three years or so some front office head HAS to roll in order to solve the team's problems.

It's amazing, that.
 
What I am starting to see in Rivera is a lack of accountability. He really has driven the bus over others the past year plus instead of taking things head on as the Head Coach, President, and de facto GM of the team.

He has as much power in this organization as Belichick and Reid have but he still seems at a loss to explain why certain things happen and why the team can't seem to integrate free agents like Jackson III into the fold despite saying at the time 'they are a perfect fit for us'.

One would think with a new starting quarterback that is a pocket passer who tends to take sacks, Washington would have made a greater push to use draft picks and cap space to solidify the offensive line depth.

Instead we see the team target a running back in Round 3.

I was in favor of bringing in Norwell at OG based upon Rivera's review of his work the past couple of years after he made the all-pro team, confirming he could still play.

He looks done.

Again, for me Washington doesn't fail across the board in player personnel. But the 'clearing' rate is 50/50. For every decent acquisition who comes in and is productive if not very productive there is another that is a complete flop or guy that doesn't fit what we do and you wonder why they were a candidate to be brought here.
 
Just like always, now that we’ve destroyed his rep and minimized his value, we’ll trade him :wall:
 
The even bigger issue to me is...why not play man?!!

Zone has been killing us for a few years now!!
 
Arthur Carlson and Herb Tarlek run the show here fellas…..
Arthur was smart enough to move to rock n roll, and Herb was a really good salesman! Cadillac of worms doesn't just sign with some schlub!

the defensive backfield has been a mess since Day 1 under Rivera. The corners play soft and allow a high YAC. The fit of personnel to scheme seems to be almost completely absent. at safety, this team has drafted a bevy of players over the past 3 years in the middle rounds, where most teams get their safeties, and so far other than Kurl none of them has shown us anything of note. the free agent safeties have been largely busts as well or gap fillers like McCain who were let go from their previous clubs during cut downs and were taken off the scrap heap.

Rivera and Del Rio seem stuck in a time warp and refuse to match up their scheme with talent and just as importantly the opponent.

You don't play coverages the same way when you are facing Travis Kelce as you do when you are facing say the TEs of the Seattle Seahawks.

But we do just that.
 
Fitzpatrick saying we don’t adapt on offense to players’ skill sets reminds me so much of Scott’s dad staring into the cameras and flatly stating, “What we do works.”

I guess that’s why they seem so slow to adjust.The system works. No need to adapt to players or opponent weaknesses.
 
Beating the bears last night is like bragging about beating up a guy with no arms.

Yeah, we won. Cool? Congrats?

That was one of the worst games I've ever seen us put together on offense.

Ron Rivera losing his cool after the game shows he is now feeling the pressure and hearing everyone from the outside. The "sell the team" chant was even brought up by Sherman.
 
They won’t fire Ron - they intend to keep him for the full contract. But he may well decide this is all more than he wants to continue navigating. I’m feeling that vibe from him.

Get ready for the Scott Turner era to begin…
 
Well, that would be from bad to worse, now wouldn't it?
 
Scott Turner as next HC?

The stake’s already driven through the heart, so twist it and pour salt on the fatal wound to make death more painful I guess? Damn
 
Mussing :). But if Rivera opts out (which I think IS a legit possibility) I think Turner will be who they turn to. Sorry, just the vibe I get.
