Our underperformers are the owners. The reason they built castles on high ground is because shit flows down stream. If the GM can't hire and fire or choose the best coach, because of money, the rest is doomed. (Unless you luck into a great young coach) This doesn't exonerate Poles, but it is like treating cancer three feet away from the tumor.

IMO, the roster is not terrible, it's just constructed funny. Poles simply neglected the premium trench positions. With roster construction remaining as it is, we truly only need OL and DL. That being said, we could always upgrade everywhere, but it's not as critical. That talent on this team is simply rudderless. Poor coaching and lack of identity has a bunch of bodies flying around. We desperately need a true alpha coach.

Yup. I'm out on him. OL and DL are the foundation of a rebuild and after year three they are two worst units. Fail. He's a nice guy and checks the diversity box, so the McCaskey's will probably demand he stays.

It's seems like Washington had some things he wanted to try out today with some funky handoff zones. It's obvious the team didn't grasp the concept. He didn't do himself any favors. So far, 38pts, 438 yards, with five plays over 30 yards.

Because he makes me want to vomit. Haven't we abused the OL enough? Lord knows the other team has...🤣

Ifedi is starting at left tackle, Patrick is starting at center, Daniels starting at guard, Whitehair starting and Mustipher is getting playing time. It's crazy Poles refused to pay Daniels as a 24 year free agent, in favor of the hated Nate Davis. I'm starting to think it's us...

The defense misses Flus.

Tremaine Edmunds is garbage. No instincts. He's always showing up as the play ends. We're stuck with his boat anchor salary through next year too.

🤡

Our linebackers were non-existent on that first drive.

That's complete BS. They love their money more than winning. That's why we get first timers or has beens as coaches. They don't want to pay! Georgie boy gets involved over the money.

💯. As I get older, it gets harder and harder to root for them.

Running point is just a dog sniffing for game birds. The guy with the gun does the shooting and eating.

Warren has already stated that he will personally oversee the hiring of the next HC. Poles to assist.

Let's play chicken and egg. The unverified reports say Poles wanted to fire Flus at the end of last season, but the McCaskey's said no. Now, the same reports are saying Warren made the call on Harbaugh. Since it's really Poles who should be hiring and firing coaches, do we blame the new scapegoat or the old villains for the latest scrambled egg? What we do know is that it took a meeting with George and Kevin before Ryan could do his job. What we also know is that Jim Harbaugh wanted to come here. The "they didn't want me" quote is seared into my brain as a reminder of the ineptitude of the McCaskey family. I'm thoroughly convinced they are in it for the money at the expense of winning. I'm not buying any more Bear wear and am considering other actions. At the end of today we have a GM that's powerless, a president with no plan for a stadium, yet is going to take his valuable time to find the next coach.(He was basketball guy). Lastly, we a 103 year old matriarch pulling the shorthairs of her moron son. I'm beginning to despise this franchise. What would y'all think about constructing a letter to the family from our site? We could use our membership numbers as something that may carry some weight. Or at the least, they may actually read it.

Totally get what you are saying. There are instances where Braxton holds up well to the bull rush. From tackle to guard there is a huge disparity in the percentage of times he would be susceptible. If he gets beat by a bull rush 40% of the time, he's out of the NFL, so let's say he's at 30%. At guard, it would be closer to 5%. Who knows, he could be tragically flawed with his set. Odds just don't tell it that way.

I played tackle, guard and center. Each is different, but guard was the easiest. He may or may not be able to do it, but he has size and mobility in his favor. The odds like his prospects...

Something else. I watched some film of Thomas Brown the player. He ran around and through opponents with a fearless nature. I hope he coaches with that determination and toughness...

Yes please. I could see him bringing in Robert Saleh to run the defense.

No. It's about being in a leverage position. It's not about him being weak. He's a big boy and handles it well when in a proper set. At OG, he'll always be in that position. Plus, they'll not have a run at him and the moves that I explained earlier.

There are opinions and then there are facts.

Not the same positional responsibilities. Guard is way easier to block on bull rush. IYKYK

This is the opposite of true. The anchor is everything and it's ten times easier from the guard position.

Yes. I even posted it on another thread. Pass sets are completely different for guards and OT. The hardest thing an OT does is to anchor after contact. Does the DE dip, rip, spin, swim or bullrush? When you remove the dip and spin with DT, it's just square up and anchor. That's why GM's draft OT's higher, because they usually can successfully transition to guard if they fail at OT. Draft a pure LOT highly. When he beats Braxton out, he can compete at OG to be a starter and swing tackle. Same Kiran.

We are winning this game.
