Last night I couldn't log on here but okay now.

Way better than the last little while. Big thank you as always for all the volunteer time you and others put into this. Greatly appreciated.

Today has been okay... Last week or so has been intermittent. Some days works great, other times the page will stall out. But today has been good. Normal.

Can't figure out what email I registered under, only had username and password saved on chrome, doesn't seem like I can login without knowing the correct email with the site update. So fly like a Phoenix I shall! Been lurking all TC reading your bad takes (jk) time to chime in again. Mostly want the site to remember what post I last read when I go to this site.

Curious if anyone has seen a slowdown or the site hanging today. I think I’ve tracked down the problem, but wondering what other people’s experience has been.

Tell me you've only worked in toxic workplaces without telling me lol! Delegation and trust is rule number one for a successful coaching hierarchy, what you're describing is just micromanagement

The reincarnation didn’t work. Love you.

yeah true...there was lotsa suck that game tho too that had a big impact in outcome...and most that suckage is still here too....lol But his season as a whole had nothing wrong with it was all I saying...If we were to cut guys who chockd a play or 2 in playoffs ZC would been gone 3 yrs ago now

nothing except for that time that he got totally deked by gimpy Davis Alexander on a critical play in the final two minutes of the ESF. He makes that tackle, we're getting the ball back with a minute left in a one-score game. Totally not clutch.

exactly....we draft and accumulate talent and go against the grain with how we dont use them

Look at Demki's stats for the first 5 years of his career. Neild has done just as much with much less targets, to be honest.

there was nothing wrong with Kyries play last yr...none at all Watch Jone's drops in coverage...rarely right spot...and always to slow to react...I said he be a good situational guy but he shouldn't be a player we settle with And why couldn't woodbey play in the middle?...And asking legitimately and want your take as to why....not to be a ****. I see no reason as to why he couldnt and a lot of reasons why he would excel

I think at most we keep one of them. We've dumped a pile of draft capital into linebacker so IMO, if we're settling for a guy who can tackle down field why aren't we settling with a Canadian in the position and using better imports in other more required positions? There's no reason to shoe horn as many Canadians on offense as we do when we draft so damned many defensive players

I'd get rid of Kyrie and Jones and have said this many times. Stop lumping us in together.

Got some names? Cause most times there's a bump in play. Like I know you like to **** on a bunch of the DL who left here but they all showed more than some ofnthe guys who played before them. It's a running joke around here that you can write the depth chart in pen on day 1 of training camp... you think every position is an open competition?

Woodby is not a MIKE. PERIOD. Ayers could be but the reverse of your argument is also true....prove he is better than TJ, you can't. Every year we do this song and dance with someone that is being "wasted" on the bench because of OSH, then they play and we hear crickets about it afterwards. Getting younger is good, but so is winning. This whole Tony Jones should be replaced because he can't cover theory is nonsense. We rarely put our MIKE in any kind of coverage situation. Younger's coverage schemes put a lot more of our WIL and SAM into those coverage roles and keeps the MIKE out of coverage. I mean honestly, Tony Jones was one of our better defensive players last year. If we are going to grouse about LBers let's talk Kyrie, that validates everyone's point yet we seem to be fixated on the one guy in our LBer corps that actually earned his paycheque.

Jones got released for a rookie...thats how we got him...so that blows your theory right outta the water....they kept the unproven upside rookie over the vet, and he got R.O.Y And yes coaches have input and say in final roster anyone can agree on that, but in the end of the day the HC picks who he feels is right and the Coordinators deal with it...and if they dont like it...tough titties...thats how it goes and how it always will go. whether you wanna believe it or not, Its the HC ass on the line in the end and he is gonna fail and be canned on his own accord....as would anyone in charge of anything Woodbey, and or Ayers can play MLB....Same body type as Jones basically and way more athletic and can actually work well in coverage...Kyrie could too. You say nobody stepped up...what did you see Jones do?...Do explain the reason behind your opinion. Did you take in all the practices to base this on? Go to both games and watch something other than a scoreboard feed? How many snaps did Jones play to beat anyone out....did you count? And shows how much you were watching as Clinton for example made more than 1 play...but whateves....Guess its dumb to turn over parts of roster when an opportunity is there with younger upside guys and pooching an older vet who has plateaud or is on the downswing Keeping a new LB and dumping a Jones or Wilson basically allows the proven guys we already have who been here now 2..3 yrs to step in and a younger guy fills that role they were doing for 1 to 2 yrs...basically effective roster turnover in phases as opposed to having to deal with a team full of old assed broken down guys...we seen how that worked 3 yrs running now...and its at a downward tilt

Tony Jones was good but he didn't start playing at a higher level than Bighill until after Bighill's injury. It was at best a coin flip between the two and Bighill was the QB of the defence at the time. The argument is not false. Soooo many times the guys that this forum pines for finally get their chance and then fall flat on their faces. It really is becoming a bit ridiculous. Jon Jones last year is an example. Guy was a complete turd out there when he finally came off the bench, so bad he got immediately returned to the bench. Yet, he was the guy all season long that was being "Oshed". Turns out OSH was 100% correct in having him on the bench. I could go on and on but our depth the last couple years was almost comically bad. This year it looks a little better but we are still very thin in a couple areas.

I hope Nield is really great but nothing he's ever done says he'll be more than a bigger version of Dom Wooganowski...

Our defensive strategy works, that is all that matters.

This tired old argument that is demonstrated as false so many times.... we need only look at the very same MLB position to see how it's not a fair comp. Jones arguably "won" the job over bighill uet bighill kept getting trotted out until he was too hurt to play and lo and behold the position play improved.
