I think most knew this team was going nowhere this year with the OL , LBs and Merv This team had a damn good shot at the playoffs if they'd stayed at least a little healthy. Give me a healthy Dalton and AJ Green and they would have been players for this very winnable division. Be that as it may, let's use this yr to get some new coaches and some good draft picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was already sliding before the injuries. And note once again the team starts to play better when there is no pressure. I have little confidence Mikey will ditch Merv and i have even less confidence he would replace him with a good candidate and zero confidence the other changes that are needed will even be considered.

That said I don’t think dumping Marvin fixes the real problem. A new coach might breath life into the team but the last few drafts have been brutal. That new coach can’t be Hue. That would be a slap to the face of the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front office. We hang on to bad coaches way too long and replace good ones with trash. Tyrel Austin was a very marginal d coordinator in Detroit. Lazor sucked in Miami. Those were just lazy hires. There was zero effort to find someone who might be great. The organization just settles for mediocre/easy at every turn. It is why I think either Marvin will be back or Hue will be the coach in 2019, it’s the easiest thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostInDaJungle Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 40 minutes ago, Sea Ray said: That's a lot of starters for just two drafts Just playing devil's advocate... But when you draft a center with no other center on the roster, he's going to start. Good, bad, otherwise... He's going to start. Last year you could have easily said the we have Fisher and Cedric as "starters" from the previous draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot of starters for just two drafts Other than Mixon who we got because nobody else wanted to piss off their fan base the rest of the picks are meh at best. Lawson is pretty good. I like Hubbard. Our 1st rounders have been HORRIBLE. Jury still out on Price. Not a difference maker in the bunch. Not a guy anyone would say was an excellent choice in hindsight. The last decent 1st rounder was AJ. Dre has been ok. Other than that we got 3rd round talent at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too would like to see better first rd picks but it's not easy to get difference makers when you're drafting late in the first rd. It's not like we got Cleveland's picks. I think the Lawson injury really hurt the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spicoli Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Marvin steps down from HC, becomes the DC, and Hue takes over.. has anyone mentioned that? I could actually see that happening.......I'd say 50/50 shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
