Isn't the word on Rinehart that he has had "mental" issues that have made it difficult to adjust to the NFL game. Mental isn't the correct word here but I thought there were rumors concerning his maturity and comitment to the game.
If true, I'm not sure a better supporting cast would make any...
I'd just appreciate the FO taking a long term outlook to rebuilding this team. The record NEXT year doesn't matter.
If the FO sees a guy at #4 they deem is a "franchise" guy I'd support it.
I don't understand the need to get rid of Smoot.
Fred seems like a sold vet 3rd corner for this team that probably won't be easy to replace. Is it an age issue? I dont think the team can afford to get rid of ALL its veteran CBs....especially since Rogers may or may not be back.
I know it. However, I question his ability to be a long term viable option for a team with his kickoff deficiencies. That will alway be an issue for him and a reason a team might look to replace him.
Guys have been able to last in this league without a leg for kickoffs I guess but not only...
Its been a two-fold problem with this team over the years. FO acquires players that don't fit the system and the coaching staff never changes to schemes to fit the talent.
Under Gibbs/Williams these same problems existed. IMO its mostly on the FO for acquiring guys that the coaches have no...
I don't remember it that way. SS had lost the team, wasn't putting in the required effort, and overall seemed complacent and unwilling to adjust. I was screaming for his head.
Can anything be done to fix this team THIS year? I seriously doubt it.
Stripping Zorn of duties won't accomplish anything but give the organization/FO another black eye for their treatment/undermining another head coach.
OTOH, Zorn probably deserves it. Clevland may be the only offense...
Ya Cooley, Samuels (for however much time he has left), and I'm not sure about much else. Never was a fan of Dock....he is pretty limited but I guess other line positions are worse off. Hell its all pretty bad.
Like I said before the rebuild isn't not going to be painless but I do wonder...
