RuskieTitan Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Breaking news out of Rio de Janiero this morning! Sources close to the team have stated that after a slow 1-2 start, including two home losses, the defending champion Pirates are looking to change things up. Early transactions this morning include some cuts from the practice squad (Taylor Heinicke) as well as starter Derek Wolfe, and the benching of young guard Damien Lewis. Head Coach Bill Belichick revealed little during the morning presser, but kept reiterating "Do your job" and "Next man up". It's told that he's also unhappy with how both the offense and defense have performed, and the coaching staff, particularly offensive coordinator Mike McCarthy, are on a short leash. Even bigger news coming out are the rumors that the Pirates may be shopping around Tight End George Kittle ([3 GS]: 13 receptions for 144 yards (11.08 YPR, 20 LNG), 0 touchdowns. 2 pancakes.) This was the big off-season acquisition that the Pirates made to try and take their offense to the next level, but the on-field result has not paid off. An anonymous source stated that it may be a case of too many mouths to feed offensively, but with the offense scoring ranking bottom 4 in the league, that's not necessarily the case. Offensive scheme changes may help right the course, as well as some potential coaching staff changes, but the Pirates could be willing to move on from Kittle if presented with a package enticing enough - likely either defensive help or draft capital. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the write-up, but I don't think it did justice to just how short McCarthy's leash is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally just looked back at what Ruskie posted. Considered stashing him for NT if Harrison doesn’t perform. I thought he put him on the PS until I just saw his write up.

TL-TwoWinsAway Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Side note: did someone tell the sim that DeCastro retired IRL due to knee issues? David DeCastro [3 GS]: 1 pancake, 1 sack allowed, 8 stuffs allowed. Ouch. Edited July 6, 2021 by TL-TwoWinsAway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considered stashing him for NT if Harrison doesn’t perform. I thought he put him on the PS until I just saw his write up. Oh well 3 games, 6 tackles, 1 coverage. I'm sure it's a slump, but I suppose I felt there were going to be better options for this season and not much point in PSing him as I didn't think I'd ever return him into the starting lineup. Might be better for 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be better for 3-4. Yeah, definitely. I'm not hoping for elite play, but I'm also not a big Aldon Smith fan. I'd rather throw Wolfe into the lineup at DE during Hendrickson's off-days and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuskieTitan Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Sources close to the front office are reporting that discussions are heating up between the Pirates and an unnamed team over George Kittle. Could he be on his way out after just 3 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
