You’re not very good at taking a hint. “Temper expectations” is probably a better way to put it. Maybe next time don’t be so arrogant that you put down a poster who doesn’t agree with your baseless statement 3 2 1

Cash Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Interesting that both Beane & McDermott are saying pretty emphatically that "we can run with the guys we have". I missed the initial question, but I wish there was a follow-up. In multiple games the opposing D put like 5-6 defenders in the box, and we still couldn't run against those defenses. Would love to know what the FO's plan is to address that if it's not personnel.

We're through the first wave of FA and the top DL have signed elsewhere. I'm pretty sure they're not going to come out and say anything other than what you mentioned, effectively showing their cards to the rest of the NFL.
Cash Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 McDermott looks deeply unhappy to be having this press conference right now. This is why I usually keep my camera off during zoom meetings at work!
junior Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Interesting comments on the Bojorquez situation. Essentially, McBeane said Bojo had a good year but they wanted someone who wanted to be here long-term. (Said Bass is a young guy and that they plan on having Ferguson at LS for a long time.) So perhaps Bojo didn't want to be here over the long haul?

Had his punts almost cut in half from '19 to '20 (79 - 41). Edited March 18, 2021 by The Wiz

I'm pretty sure they're not going to come out and say anything other than what you mentioned, effectively showing their cards to the rest of the NFL. Oh yeah, definitely not taking anything as gospel. But both of these guys are pretty good at messaging, whether intentionally or unintentionally. There's more than one "coachspeak" answer for any situation, and the one that BBB/McD actually use does send a message. They could've focused more on "we're not done improving our team", but instead focused on "we can run with who we have". Now, maybe they're just trying to make sure no one trades in front of them and takes Travis Etienne. Or maybe they're planning on running it back unless something unexpected happens. (Like Etienne being available in the 2nd round, or an elite O-line prospect dropping to 30 or something.) If it's the latter, then I'm really curious what their plan is to be able to run enough to keep defenses honest. EDIT: At least against certain defenses. The run game was great some of the time, most notably to close out the Steelers game. But the Chiefs and a couple other teams basically dared us to run, and shut it down with just their front 4.

Cheektowaga Chad Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Do we believe that the press conference today and hold up was about Matt Barkley and Mitch trubisky?

Had his punts almost cut in half from '19 to '20 (79 - 41). He probably wants a short-term contract to have the chance to get paid by a dome team in a few years. Ridiculous that the media is asking about the punter instead of Ertz.

Ridiculous that the media is asking about the punter instead of Ertz. Ertz is under contract with the Eagles, so there's not much the team can say. The reporters know this, so they don't want to waste their limited time asking questions that won't be answered. 5

Not sure they could even acknowledge that they had discussions even if approved by the Eagles. 1
ColoradoBills Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 I do agree with Beane about the "restructures". He said he will do them if needed but he is not going to mortgage the future.
