Aztec Hammer Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Only thing worse than a Bengals-esque NFL purgatory is conducting a tank incorrectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Just now, Don Roshi said: Those 4-6 win teams drafted poorly. Made poor decisions with the salary cap. Had bad philosophies or no plan at all. Correct. Tanking was a plan and a “Moneyball” the philosophy. I can support a man with a plan. Sashi was great with the cap, that was his specialty in fact. Sashi had 2 drafts, his first netted a Pro Bowler, I think his second will net multiple. Those aren’t poor decisions imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when we were trying we weren’t good enough to be in purgatory, it was still hell. We never had winning seasons or playoff appearances to balance the 5 win seasons.

I think that was a bad philosophy. You can draft good players throughout the draft. You don't need to try to lose in order to have a good draft class. You just need to draft well. I don't dislike Sashi. He'd still be here if he didn't go too far. I loved the way he went about the draft, just not anything else. He didn't need to tank to make moneyball work.

His issue is he couldn’t evaluate pro personnel to save his life. Signed some dudes and let go of some studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrawkcab321 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Sashis biggest mistake was hiring hue. He can’t develop anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is hard to say because he was widely viewed as the best HC candidate during that hiring season. Hopefully with Zamp and Haley, Hue no longer is stuck with developing guys like a QB. He needs to be a manager. Mange the roster and the personalities, mange the coaches, and mange the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman93 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 What are the 4 “pillar positions” in football? QB Pass rusher CB LT I bet we spend a 1st rounder on a LT next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosko1616 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Unless Corbett takes over. Ultimately I think Corbett takes over at C and we Draft a guy next year. Remember Wolf and highsmith were on the same front office who like tretter walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly feel like McGlinchey would be the top LT in next years class as well. The college game is doing and exceptionally bad job at developing lineman and it is getting worse by the year. Greg Little as of now is supposedly the best for next year and he was flat out garbage when I watched him. In no way is he or Adams at Top 50 pick. I know from watching Ohio State that Isaiah Prince is terrible as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbett can play any position on the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with a better passer at Bama next year, we will truly see his ability to pass block. He didn’t get the looks with Hurt running. Watching that title game, Georgia couldn’t get pressure on the freshman and Williams was one of the reasons why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed some dudes and let go of some studs. The guys he let go had one foot out the door when he was hired. IIRC Benjamin didn’t even negotiate with the Browns. Schwartz was trying to leverage us for a better deal, failed and then came back hoping for the original deal. He’s a good player, but nothing special. I’d have resigned him though. Mack was over 30 and wanted 50 million. Not sure how he fit with a long term plan. Gip should have been resigned. Tagged of need be. Who else?

Why pay Tretter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
