The Now Moment

I say 238 passing with 27 running 1 rushing td and 1 passing. He's got some running ability as well. Hope he plays his best against Bosa and Ingram who have been so dynamic this year

Man that would be my dream come true! I hope it happens

Easy recruits out of Florida. Good fit for him

I disagree but it's nice seeing another person on the other side I can watch eat crow. The moves they've made so far make sense to me. Let's see how they play this week. Truth is if Peterman lights a fire in the offense, we could easily be in the playoffs with a weak AFC this year. Don't dive off the ship just yet

Everyone of the posters who made fun of him will line up and eat their crow like they should. He'll look a heck of a lot smarter than them too

While I'm an optimist myself, it's only been a few games. They certainly have shown a lot of potential. And it looks like we have some guys that know how to draft. But I wanna see how they play down the stretch here as we compete for a playoff spot. If they are kickin ash in these playoff win or die type games that could be coming in a few weeks then I will be ecstatic. Can't wait to see how they play over the next 7 weeks.

I think McDermott had something to do with the move. I mean he is their draft pick. But I get your point. I just think these two guys look solid, give them a chance. If that doesn't work you can wipe out from top to bottom including every water boy and jock strap washer. But I've been impressed with a handful things they've been able to do so far. These moves seem huge now but they will just be specs on the plan. I just think they can put something together. Their draft picks have shown a lot of potential talent that just needs some coaching and developing. McDermott was just in the Super Bowl with Carolina two years ago. I just have a feeling these guys can get the job done. But it's nice seeing a different viewpoint, I'm not always right.

Two Shea

You're right because they don't let a regime see anything through. Granted, I didn't like the last few regimes because the GM and HC didn't seem to have a plan and weren't brought in together. This to me looks like the right direction

A All coaches specialize in certain schemes that they've coached in before. Almost all coaches bring those schemes with them. Look at the history of coaching, that's the case everywhere. That's how the coaches will be most effective. How are they supposed to coach a scheme they are unfamiliar with? Once they get the right players in their scheme, then the long term success is there. If you morph to a roster, you may get some instant success but the long term success usually doesn't follow.

...they just fired almost everyone because. Including the scouting department and a lot of the front office. Did I miss something? If you think these new guys will want to put a dud on the field, I think you're wrong. Both Beane and McDermott are first timers at their positions, do you think they don't want to be successful? If they don't, then they will probably never be a GM or HC again. I'll agree to disagree man because I don't see your viewpoint at all

Those players didn't fit the schemes for the coaching staff though. That's a huge reason. Those moves done so early will quicken the rebuild. This year is basically a throwaway year because most of the team is inherited players that don't fit the schemes. These coaches aren't gonna coach other schemes because they specialize in certain schemes just like all coaches do. The team has just played well and the fans don't know how to handle that with the moves that have been made. They are benefitting the team long term and now by creating that upstanding character culture this season, not waiting until the year is over. We got rid of some talent but if they aren't gonna be here after the season, you can only hurt yourself with them here. The coach doesn't want to be fighting the opinions of his players, that's a distraction that's not needed in a workplace.

Is that really evaluating Peterman? At some point people will be watching a ton of tape on him. I want to know if the guy can play not if we can deceive another team

You're right they need talent but it's not about this year. We will play as hard as we can with what we have and have chemistry and the right personality type players to create a culture until more talent that fits those traits is brought in. They told us that it is about building a culture...McDermott has said this so many times. You can't play with guys that get in the way of chemistry and the culture that they are trying to build. I'll agree to disagree.

I doubt he will be back next year. They can cut him and save some cap

Do you honestly think this regime has no interest in winning games? If they wanted to put fans in the stands they could've just kept all the players they had. Instead, they actually want to win and are holding people accountable including the QB. To me, they are finally making the right moves, unlike past GMs and HCs that we've had. We as fans look back at the continuing lack of success yet don't look at the fact that this GM and HC inherited the majority of the players on the field. As a business person, you really are okay with taking over a highly unsuccessful work place and not making any changes? They have come in and said the lack of success isn't good enough and are going to start it their way. You said it yourself, it's hard to lose as long as we have. These guys are stopping what we've done in the past and taken a new direction. It's refreshing and exciting for a fan such as myself.

No, I meant could have...would have...should have...If you're going to correct my spelling, at least do it correctly

To me, it depends on how well he plays. If he kills it and takes the league by storm, i'll draft one anywhere after the first 2 rounds looking for his backup. If he does well, I'll draft a 2nd rounder unless there's one guy in the draft that we just fall in love with. If he is average or sucks, 1st rounder all day baby! But I like the kid, I think he can do well. Reminds me of the Kirk Cousins situation in Washington with RG3. Maybe he's our Cousins?

I respectfully disagree. I've played on many sports teams in high school and the only reason we were so good was because we had chemistry and talent. You need both. He didn't want to make the adjustment to the scheme...you have to get rid of him. Whether you think he was a leader or not I also respectfully disagree. Higher talents in the league usually are looked up to by teammates. This year, he obviously lost that but he has been a leader on this team in the past. Bottom line is, if I were the Head Coach and my players were questioning how I do things and not playing up to their standards...I wouldn't have a problem showing them the door. You don't need that negative attitude bringing other guys down around him.

At the time it didn't make sense to do that, it's easy to say coulda woulda shoulda after the fact.

Really? You honestly think he wasn't a leader on the team? He's done speeches over the last few years for the team and led them out of the tunnel a few times. If he truly isn't a leader, do you think they want to pay a guy who isn't helping his teammates or being a leader on the team almost 20 million dollars a year? It may not be a ton of savings now but in two years he's off the books. The move absolutely was all about him and his off the field issues, potential long suspension and malcontent with the scheme/coaching. That's not something a new coach wants on his team. My thinking is the defensive coach of your team has some influence on developing defensive players. Just my thought. Maybe we should trust them, they have been in the playoffs and seen a super bowl and not too long ago they were the worst team in the league, two picks above where we took Dareus at 3. Their quick turnaround should make us feel better about them, not worse.

The biggest reason why he was traded. Being a leader on the team and having those issues doesn't help the rest of the team and doesn't show a good example for your young players

You are misunderstanding. We both agree that Dareus was well liked by the players. He didn't like the scheme. That poses a problem for a new head coach, if he is talking to his teammates about the scheme or coaches in a bad way, he as a leader could potentially side with him and go against the coach. Talent does need to be at the position yes but if there isn't chemistry, then someone will not play well. Dareus clearly didn't play that well leading up to his departure. 1 sack and 8 tackles isn't the kind of production someone with his talent should be producing. Even Kyle Williams said he needed a fresh start. That's disregarding the cap you gain and the fact that Dareus is one more problem away from being suspended almost a full season. That is not what you want at a leadership position in your locker room. You don't want guys who are selfish and have off the field problems being looked up to by your young players.

Those guys were brought in while Beane and McDermott were their and they helped coach them into that success though...

Was it not right? Dareus had a big hold as a leader in that locker room. Players looked up to him. As a new coach, if one of your defensive leaders clearly isn't buying in, things could go bad. You could lose a heck of a lot more than one player. If Dareus is talking $hit behind their back with the other players...that's a huge problem for a new coach. It's not all about talent. Chemistry on a team is much more important than people give it credit for. Look at the Saints trading Brandin Cooks because he didn't buy in. Doesn't seem to bother them. Once the position is filled in the offseason, it will be for the best. It absolutely needed to happen when it did though. You have to look at it from a new coaches viewpoint, not a fans viewpoint
