Beck Bristow Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Thought the linebackers did pretty well u der Golden. Might have just been better drafting, but I thought Pratt developed really well. Wonder who fills that role? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ochocinco4pres Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 That doesn't shock me. But stinks as these young backers have really taken a massive step up. You think Zimmer wants to be a LB coach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 Zac Taylor extended through 2026. Hard to argue against it, but it still feels like we had success this year despite him at times. Conservative play calling may have cost us 2-3 games. However, hard to argue with the culture he's built here, even before Burrow all the young guys in the locker room loved him. The only pushback he got was from the veteran holdovers from the Marvin era. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not 100% how it works as far as play calling (especially in red zone), but they need to learn from the mistakes this year and should be ok. We were way too obvious with certain play calls. I saw that we also extended our coordinators per twitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two things I really like about him are the culture he's created and that he absolutely is willing to take a look at himself and work on his shortcomings. I think he's more aware of his challenges than most coaches show and that's really refreshing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But throughout the year they did continue the same trends that were unsuccessful including running the ball on 2nd and long for no gain. But it's a long offseason to look at and get better for next year. Excited what the future holds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Yes, Bettcher looks like a very good hire. Three top 10 finishes while DC of the Cards is impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safety is definitely a need this offseason. We need a backup but also a future plan for Bell. This is also assuming Bates gets a long term deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also assuming Bates gets a long term deal I'm guessing we'll add a day three safety. Brandon Wilson will be back, Trayvon Henderson has been around a few years and they seem to like Michael Thomas, but some youth in the depth chart is good.
