BADOLBILZ Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Gillislee has so far in his career looked about 50 times better than Williams. And while Darby may not have been a great fit for this D, he is a lot better than Gaines. I expect him to do well in the Schwartz D. It's a typical GG post........lazy. MG's production in the past two seasons was insane. Most of that plus production was admittedly because of the scheme and the impact of the QB.......and Taylor is back and while it hasn't been promising in preseason it's conceivable that Dennison could put Taylor in position to do well again and in the process again raise the level of the RB's.........but JW hasn't actually done anything as a pro except be hurt and fumble. What I don't like about losing Darby and Seymour is that it really boxes in game planning defensively..........the guys they have now can't play a lick of man defense.........which means they are going to be VERY predictable on defense. Not necessarily WORSE.......but in a league where the good QB's feast on zone defenses it would be nice to be able to mix things up. It's a very Jauron-ian situation.

BADOLBILZ Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I think McDermott is a better coach than Badol does. I share many of his concerns about his team building vision. So you are expecting McDermott to pull the wool over on guys like Belichick or Andy Reid with his less talented rosters? Jauron was a good defensive coach........he totally cleaned up a sloppy, undisciplined ship left behind by Mularkey........I'd say he was probably a better football coach than Ron Rivera..........but he wasn't good enough to beat ANY good opponents without the talent to support his conservative systems and ultimately he had a lot of say in his mediocre rosters.

GG Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Gillislee has so far in his career looked about 50 times better than Williams. And while Darby may not have been a great fit for this D, he is a lot better than Gaines. I expect him to do well in the Schwartz D. Is that even a fair comparison? Are you comparing the Gillislee who got cut three times or the Gillislee who walked into a comfortable running game in Buffalo? Are you comparing him to Jwill's rookie camp, or this year? Darby was abysmal last year, and you bet that Eagles are hoping they got a player that looked good playing against and offense that he's practiced for 3 off-seasons instead of the guy who was grossly exposed vs 'phins. Imagine GG trying to create a narrative about my opinion because he's been embarrassed by me calling out his lazy, misinformed takes so many times on TSW. I wasn't against keeping the vets........I was ALL for keeping the veterans on this team and trying to win and build upon that. But when you dump the young veteran talent and have a roster that is nothing but old players, expiring contracts and rookies........that's not building ANYTHING. Keep swinging. Because only BADOL can regale us for a year about how awful of a draft choice Ragland was, and then turn around and slam the new regime for cutting ties with him. I do admire your moxie.

GG Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Has Badol slammed the new regime for trading Ragland? He wrapped it in the overall slams that the new regime is ripping out the young core, even if that core doesn't really work going forward. And that's the beauty of BADOL's posting history. There are very few posters who are as knowledgeable as he is in breaking down the players and schemes. But he's also an insufferable narcissist who would never admit a mistake and always reframes his argument to appear that he was right all along. Would make a great politician if he ever decided to go down that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Oh Badol loves reminding us when he is right and less so when he is wrong, sure.... but it is all part of his charm. and he is right a lot more than he is wrong. I think you are reaching a bit on Ragland. It is possible to generally be opposed to the moves and yet think specific individual moves within that were right.

BigdaddyinOrlando Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Loading team up with coachable veterans.......filling developmental, bottom of roster type spots with old players and prolific special teamers so there is no drop off in the mediocrity in event of injury.......what makes people think McDermott is trying to go 2-14 so he can lose with a young QB while he tries to find 18-20 new starters in 2018-2019? When fans favor a coaching change the tendency is to think that the coach shares their vision. I'm not sure that ANY fan would support McD's actual plan. I support and welcome it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do admire your moxie. Gerry you are just a raving idiot.......you want a 100% love em or 100% hate em takes........and that's not how it actually works if you are reasonable. Trading up for Ragnuts was a terrible decision...........taking him in the second round at all would have been a very poor use of draft assets.......I said it at the time........in fact I said taking him early would be a mistake time and again all the way leading UP to the draft, not just after it. And it wasn't that I thought he was terrible it was that he was just OK at a non-critical position and they already had a virtual clone of Ragland in Preston Brown. But, I didn't BLAST the organization for getting rid of him. My take on both he and Darby's trades were that both of them are guys you can get in ANY draft........not *huge* losses.....but there is the matter of Preston Brown being a free agent after the season.......and something will have to be done about that now rather than possibly just transitioning to Ragnuts. Has Badol slammed the new regime for trading Ragland? No. Gerry just creates whatever narrative he wants to and when he's called on his false-facts he just moves on to the next scoop of bulls*t.

GunnerBill Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) Whether they keep Preston after this year is certainly debatable but I'm not sure I think he is a clone of Ragland. Brown definitely moves better. Brown is a 4-3 MLB. Rags is a 3-4 two down player only. Edited September 3, 2017 by GunnerBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
