Coach Tuesday

I give him credit for not accepting their first offer of free coffee for life.

He was top ten in pressures last year with less snaps than many of his peers. I don't see an overpay here. Rousseau has justified his draft position and of course they're betting on continued improvement, that would be the case for any second contract. I don't think they view Oliver as an overpay either (he was better in 2023 than 2024, for sure).

Unlike the Bernard deal, this one actually rivals what he would’ve gotten in the open market.

He would’ve broken $100m if he was able to hit double digit sacks.

I just don't see why this was a priority offseason event. He was under contract for next year. He's more valuable in our system than anyone else's - I am not too worried about a bidding war breaking out after next season. And if it did? That money would be better used on a premium position.

I’m just telling you, a good longtime poster claimed to have it on good authority that it’s not us. Don’t recall who it was. Maybe it was @Kirby Jackson?

Someone posted on good authority that we are not going to Ireland.

Yep I agree.

Nope they need a good OL and a running GAME to make it work. You’re totally off here.

Will 2025 finally be the year you take in external information and use it to change your opinion about something? I’m guessing no…

They are a maddeningly stubborn regime at times.

Sounds like he skipped his rehab sessions.

It was that way looking forward as well… Weren’t any of you here for Moulds? Sometimes I wonder if most of the fans here are recent bandwagoners - mixed in with old fans with dementia…🤣

I bet McVay is just bored.

Totally good and fair topic that will trigger a whole swath of folks for their own reasons.

Your feelings are valid.

I went to college in the 90s and had plenty of fraternity brother friends and this was how they all talked to each other. Not defending it but it was the norm.

Ugh I do not miss this era. And boy if this same event happened today it would be like driving a needle into the eye of public discord.

Yes you are perhaps describing a player development issue moreso than a talent acquisition/scouting issue. And you could say the same thing about Beane’s free agent signings - many of them have been slow to acclimate on the field. Player development and scouting/pro personnel are related but not the same. Perhaps they’re doing some self-scouting in that regard by firing Ciano or perhaps that is totally unrelated - but on-field player development has lagged behind much of the rest of the McBeane sectors.

Deal with the merits instead of attacking the speaker.

He used one of his 3-5 yearly posts for that. On some level I deeply respect it! But he’s also wrong.

“The speech makes me scared and upset so I’m going to attack the speaker and his motives.” LAME

Kinkaid. CyBo. Even Coleman. There is room for improvement with how the young guys acclimate physically.

You have an elite QB and offensive line - that should be a good enough environment for any good back to succeed in.

If those are the actual numbers - then yes, it would make zero sense.
