Team Chemistry

Nothing to flame.

it’s not the DEscwho are over pursuing. at least not consistently. Van is much improved this area.

this was the linebackers over pursuing,

They’re frustrated. The team atmosphere is hosed. This team is capable of a lot more than what’s being shown on the field, I have zero doubt of that.

Absolutely nothing to flame.

It’s nothing that quite a few people here haven’t been saying for a while. The difference is that now, people that are die-hard Whitt loyalists are saying it.

This team has a lot of problems and, to me, it almost feels as if the staff/team is living off the period from 2018-2022. It’s really starting to get an “end of an era” feel to it.

Will the team suck once Whitt leaves? Whitt wouldn’t be the first coach whose career ends up in a downward trend. I remember that, even in MIami having the winningest coach in NFL history, Shula was shown the door at the end, given the option to retire or be fired. It could very well be that the team will suck even with Whitt here. I mean, based on what I’ve seen the last two games and the dynamics within the team, this could easily end up as a 5-7/6-6 year.

What’s left for the season. There is no championship. There isn’t. Throw out all that positive talk and face facts right in the face. This team can’t and won’t run the table. No way.
Cam is broken. He’s done. Thank him graciously. Tell him he’s medically done and just let him collect his check, by the way there’s some resentment in the locker room about his salary.
We are in the position and have been for years by not developing back up QBs. This season is over. It’s done. Move on. Develop Isaac. See what Huard has. Play rose. Any player on the team could have produced the same results cam produced last night with his feeble body.

It looks to me that it’s not just his hand. I know his ankle got rolled last night and it hurt. I believe his shoulder is also jacked up. I’ve wrecked a shoulder during college baseball. I’ve torn a labrum. I’ve torn an AC joint, I’ve torn my bicep. After these injuries I lost velocity I never got back. I lost a lot of distance. Cam has no velocity. No accuracy, he definitely has no deep ball. He’s done. He’s broke. He’s finished. Tell him he’s out already. Quit the gamesmanship. Quit the positive spin. Quit the excuses. He’s done. Let him go. Move on.

Scalley’s D is missing two very important elements that he relies on almost to a fault. He doesn’t have an eraser at ILB in the mold of Lloyd, C. Barton, Bernard or Hansen (-on?). Reid is a step up from what we saw last night but he is not that caliber.

He also doesn’t have a safety who can play in the box or at the LOS. Ritchie looked like he could be that kind of guy in 2020 but hasn’t approached even a poor man’s Cole Bishop since. Hall might have been able to but is now trying to learn LB on the fly.

You can’t run effective blitz packages with just your D Lineman and LB’s are routinely making first contact after a 3 yard gain. He’s being forced into a bend don’t break style and I don’t think he knows how to call it after a decade of attack, attack, attack. The late calls from the sideline is just micromanaging which can work for awhile but eventually leads to paralysis by analysis. If waiting until the ball is snapped to call your final signal was a gamechanger other DC’s would have copied it by now. Instead, they seem to be doing just fine getting their signals in early enough for everyone to get set and read their keys.
