Two giant holes there... It will be extremely difficult for Campbell to succeed this season and be the new head coach for next year.. We will see i guess.
Get Jason Fox out of the lineup. Slide Billy Turner over to RT, and hand Linkenbach a chance at RG. Give Shaun Phillips a long look as a potential rotational DE, and while we're at it, buy some extra alcohol. It's going to be a long season.
That and recent history of poor personnel choices including drafting, trading players and FA signings.
if theres any silver lining in this nightmare. campbell has 10 days to make chicken salad out of chicken poop. we should know by seasons end if we hit lightning with him or we need to hire a new hc. he already had a big mess to clean up and it just got bigger. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk
Thankfully RT aren't that hard to find, although finding capable pass protecting RT is problematic. A serviceable RT and renewed commitment to the run can bridge the gap until JJ gets back. Getting down two scores and Lazor can't go pass happy he has to stay with the run and believe the defense will hold and get the ball back.
Good teams overcome this type of adversity. The Patriots played with two rookies and a backup on the offensive line against the a Dolphins and they certainly didn't have any trouble moving the ball against the Dolphins defense. All teams have injuries during the season. That is why they have 53 players on the roster and a practice squad. Good teams simply plug in the next player and continue to win. The rest of the teams and their fans use these injuries as an excuse or complain that, "this crap never ends".
My problem, jw, is how do you take a player who isn't good enough to start on a team, and turn him into a guy who can go against starters? I get it if you have young guys that pan out, but guys are backups for a reason.
You want the argument you're about to get or you want the truth, haha? You get a better front office that doesn't leave you stranded with guys like Jason Fox and you get better coaches who can take guys like Jason Fox and make them serviceable. Nothing in these equations is fixed. Everything affects everything else and right now very little is working well. The argument about Lazor vs Tannehill is not black and white just like the argument about Tannehill vs Wallace was not black and white. All sides need to be better. We're not looking at a team as lousy as the one in 2007 but there's still a lot of very mediocre elements to the team and it goes far beyond just the roster.
just saying they have two rookies and a practice squad player doesnt mean anything. you might as well say they have two germans and a french guy. the patriots have three avg to good linemen that they inserted in after thier starters went down. we have fox. now is it the GM of new england or is it the oline coach that is better than what we have. that is the question. it might be both. i know new england has had great oline coaches recently. this guy and the guy before him coach their guys up to be at the minimum serviceable. i personally cant tell if our oline coach is any good or if he's given crap to work with
You have to begin to suspect that coach I think when you see very little short-term development. I views coaches as being the most direct influence in that initial 2-4 year development of a player. The player may disappoint at first but if the coach is good you'll at least see certain things corrected and you'll see the player begin to transition into being a decent or "serviceable" starter. Haha, I mean, isn't that basically the primary thing positional coaches are their to do anyway?
