Face it, Gute left us real light there. Don't think he expected so much success in year 1. Cut Daniels at a dumb time if he did expect that. Pettine's run fits only made the talent issue worse. This. Very much this. Lowry, Goodson, and Lancaster played 123 snaps COMBINED. That's an average of 41 snaps per player. Lancaster averaged 24 snaps per game, Goodson averaged 16 snaps per game, and Lowry averaged 39.9 snaps per game. Lowry was the only one playing close to his season averages.

I feel terrible about it because that’s a hell of an offer, but Vegas I know I would not enjoy at all. I also know there is no way we would draft a good player if I was there. Most people I would feel this was them trying to make a joke. You, I have no doubts that you did this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that he meddles, it's that he's complacent. Complacency is friggin' terrible in sports and there's no damn room for it TBH. It's how you end up with the Herb Kohl Bucks for 25 years. Complacent enough that he gutted the organization and it's long standing leadership structure in 24 months? Your proof is a report about a ST coach? Murphy is just the last in the line of the old regime (a regime that brought us 4 NFCCG appearances and a SB Championship, so one would think we'd look fondly on it but that sure as hell isn't the case) and therefore will be crapped on for anything that goes wrong in the organization because everyone likes our new aggressive HC and GM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll trade out of #30 the first and get Jordy V2 in the 2nd. Sure I’ll just tell my boss that I can’t accept it but I can accept it for a stranger online. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After how many years? You don't get credit for doing something too late. Sorry. Yeah, and old regimes see the game pass them by. Like I said, this franchise isn't progressive whatsoever and they are complacent as hell. It is what it is. And, yes, a ST coach. You don't get the right to ***** about ST if you're going to criticize that hangup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key next year will be to not only improve run defense, but NOT lose much, if any ground anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasquatch Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Wait, so MLF holds a press-conference this morning and basically says nothing has been decided and that there's many things to process and evaluate. Then three hours later says we're done processing and evaluating - Pettine stays. WTF? Why not have your meeting with Pettine first, THEN have your little press conference? This was poorly handled, IMO. Edited January 23, 2020 by Sasquatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexGreen#20 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 There's a lot of ways to look at this. On the positive side. The defense improved significantly overall. The defense was altered to fit this year's crop of talent rather than last year's. The defense seemed to really enjoy playing for the guy and he has the support of the locker room. Guys like King and Jaire took steps forward. Potentially found a passable Dime DB off the scrap heap in Sullivan. We were able to work in an older Tramon in such a way that he became an asset rather than a hindrance to the defense. We had a rookie Safety who never really embarrassed himself in the regular season. Amos proved to be everything we were hoping for and was integrated into the defense well. At no point in the year did Martinez kill us and was overall a positive contributor. Kenny Clark showed strong again. Both Z and P were utilized very well and had career years. On the negative side. Was there enough improvement considering the talent level improvement on the defense? There are a lot of plus talents on this defense to be rolling out a league average unit. The worst game plan I have ever seen in a playoff game. A truly embarrassing loss. Is the defense too simple to succeed in the modern NFL? Are his tendencies to play a ton of light boxes capable of succeeding in the NFL? You have to be able to stop the run and with Lancaster/Lowry/Goodson getting snaps, I'm not sure it can be done light. Is he overly conservative to the point of damaging the overall unit? We baby our CBs and we didn't blitz this year. Pettine had to have some input on Lowry and his deal, and that blew up in our face. Adams regressed this year, and truthfully so did Lancaster. No positive development of Oren Burks and a failure to develop another ILB. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
