In a (barely)related story, the voice actress of Marge Simpson died today.

I think bringing this UFL all star guy in negates us bringing in a known commodity back up. QB3 will be some kinda prospect.

Sankey released

Guys, its the fault of Shelbyville.

I'd take Powell out of Hamilton as a backup QB. Thought he looked ok a few years ago.

Also, the fact that the receivers were unable to create separation was a huge issue (also part of scheme too) our receiving core were buns at times.

Mike Kelly says "call me and we can chat".

Possible. Without seeing the play book it's hard to say but yea could be. All QBs get happy feet when they have been under siege. It's the name of the game for a defence,

That's not true. They ranged from showing well to ineffective. Look, no coach keeps crappy rookies out of camp over a clearly better player. You never know what you got exactly until they are under the Friday Night lights but you will never convince me that the newbies we kept were kept for any other reason than they looked the best in camp to not just OSH but the concensus of all our coaching staff, scouts and management. Cut down day all of these people weigh in on that, However, I am in agreement that many roster moves were baffling sometimes. I don't post this to exonerate MOS, he needs to be much better, I post my criticism of KW because some ppl are trying to give him a free pass after doing a horrible job because they want the focus to stay solely on MOS. KW and MOS, and their entire dynamic, is a problem and one that KW ultimately is the only guy that can resolve it. HE MUST DO HIS JOB BETTER. That means making MOS doing his job better as well. People are forgetting who the bottom line is on a **** season like last year. The GM has to wear it. If it was coaching then the coach should have been fired. It's that simple. You can spread the blame around certainly for last year but no one can try and paint KW as a victim of circumstance. That's BS. It absolutely is both men and furthermore the dynamic that has developed between them. At the end of the day though, only one man has the power to change that dynamic. You can't nlame an employee for being able to run over the boss.

It's really funny that there's a hardline stance of "It's absolutely Walters fault" and "It's absolutely O'Shea's fault" and no room for Grey area in between....

yup .......'Lard arse exposed' should be Jakes mantra.....when the hell is he going to ride off into the sunset....I hope soon

yeah...They both have that too fat to be athletic and effective look, and the looking lost image more times than not on the field At least Kolo kept his shirt pulled down so his arse crack and gut wasnt exposed for all to see....utter embarrassing

That was NOT a report, that was SPECULATION. There is absolutely no source that anyone can point to that suggests KW is some powerless dupe stuck in the middle. Let's be clear on that. There is nothing to substantiate any of that and therefore it is not fact, it is purely speculation. Miller is a smart businessman, that we know, Walters can be a very good GM, that we know, MOS can also be a very good coach that we know. What none of us know is why there seems to be a disconnect and who is to blame. It is just as likely that KW was burnt out and underachieving, or just decided to say F it MOS can do what he wants. That's not power struggle that;s lazy and there is a big difference in culpability.

Does Kola look anything like Jake??.......I guess their play is comparable hence the confusion

Lawson's second last paragraph in the story of his signing...and what he said...he gets it and see's it....Our HC/GM totally are the definition of what he said...so they best be doing their respective jobs again like their professional careers depended on it but when your 1's look like crap...pedestrian or are in the tub yet get the starting spot first game...justify that And just cause nobody signs our newbie cuts....doesnt mean they cant play....nobody does that at the start of the season basically with any teams cuts...maybe a surprise vet cut yeah....but rook's....hardly ever and I highly doubt if we made surprise cuts of Thomas..Kolo...Schmeck...Hallett..Korn...amoung other turds of recent yrs many teams would be crawling over each other tosign them and dump a player off thier roster...letalone start them like they were here And we have seen every rook who finally got a chance in a game...showed well and would have been even better by season's end if played...all the while the dead weight the HC favors....just continued to suck And of pre-season os a big nothing burger and doesnt matter when a guy or guys jump of the page and make plays...then why bother having it? To say that the talent brought in the last 2 camps that was cut for crap players who were holdovers just isnt justified....You dont know until you play...what we did know tho...is the guys kept...were not adequate...and end of the day the HC sets his roster, makes the bone headed in game moves...creates piss poor depth charts...over uses sub par Canadians...neglects using rules to our benefit cause his personal opionion of them is he doesnt like them...runs country club unproductive TC's....if Walter's had a major flaw it was not holding Osh's feet to the fire...and .just outright release guys from under his nose to eliminate the chance for him to play certain guys, and told him when he had his shouting pouting fits with roster/player discussion to suck it up and deal with it as he is not the Boss here......or hit the highway Hopefully thats all cleaned up now...or we will see much the same

The DE's you are referring to as having great games were brought in just a week or so before they played the final game of the season. They weren't there all year. So no, leaving them off the roster was not an issue....they weren't under contract. Agreed. However, all these shining stars that we heard about all year long ended up being duds when they eventually were played with the exception of Woodbey. It kind of tells you that they weren't on the roster for a reason.

hey kids loves these books even though Elephant and Piggie wrapped up quite some time ago like before COVID

Thanks for the clarification about the Walters-O'Shea relationship/power structure. If Walters is unable to replace his head coach that he is in overt conflict with and who has been serving his personal agenda ather than the wellfare of the team, that would exonerate Walters but places him in a very untenable position. I thought of Miller as a hard-nosed results-oriented person but from this report, that does not seem to be the case. That has to change or we will be repeating this discussion next year.

Jake Thomas????

So in summary ZC's protection issues are the fault of Jake Thomas, I mean the fault of a combination of things including scheme, linemen lack of execution, ZC's happy feet and lessening ability to adapt to and/or escape pressure not to mention the fact of other teams superior DLine compared to ours.

His protection has been getting worse year over year for the last three or so and been increasingly uncomfortable in the pocket. Scheme (this year) was definitely a factor but Zach himself has gotten happy feet and he's as much to blame for the shots he takes as is the inadequacy of the offensive line or any offensive scheme.

Antawn Raymond is a really good one on that list, too. He has such a great mix of power and speed/quicks. Both of them, plus Mesidor and Elad, will be NFL-bound, I'm sure.
