Poles gotta make every prospective HC/OC come up with a mock gameplan to beat the Eagles/Chiefs defense during their interview. Play call sheet and everything.
Take it a step further, make them create a gameplan for Fields, Bagent, Caleb Williams, AND Drake Maye, even Jayden Daniels if he’s in play. Have them come up with a plan to maximize each guy if they’re the starter. Can’t do it? Can’t coach this team, period.
This kind of gameplan ain’t it, man.
Fields has made costly mistakes playing hero ball, this gameplan has been utter trash. You knew they would blitz, where’s the preparation for it?
Ryan Poles has to be pissed right now, can’t evaluate anything like this. Rarely do things come easy in this scheme, in the playcalling, the design. Only thing you can count on is timely mistakes, EVERY SINGLE WEEK.
Screen pass incoming?
Getsy’s eyes gonna start twitching if he doesn’t run another screen soon
Every game, we see Poles look at his laptop then shake his head
Absolute GARBAGE playcalling. How do you not have shot plays in your gameplan against a team that blitzes ~50% of the time?
Screens are fine, but you should be able to anticipate them getting out of blitzing if your scheme is working, where’s the counters to that?
How do you come up with a game script full of screen passes? Why are you game planning to run screens on 2nd and long?
I’ve literally never seen a coach call the same play 3 times in a row as much as Getsy has. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it at all, the arrogance is unbelievable. Aaron Rodgers ain’t back there man.
Luke Getsy worked on this gameplan all week, just to come up with a play sheet full of screen passes, think about this
Refs putting the Bears back in their place LMAO
Brian Daboll has Tommy “Not Danny” DeVito looking competent, better than former 1st-round pick Mac Jones.
Jones got f’ing Matt Patricia/Joe Judge as an OC and now looks mentally broken as a QB.
Coaching matters.
Nathaniel Hackett had Russell Wilson looking washed LMAO now he’s having an under-the-radar great season, might be a front runner for comeback player of the year if the Broncos keep it up.
Having Justin Fields here doesn’t prevent the new staff from drafting a QB. Caleb Williams or Drake Maye (or the field) don’t HAVE to start week 1, especially if they’re not ready.
Fields can play out Year 4, likely with his option declined, and become a FA at 25 years old. If he’s performed well enough, then he still gets paid and he likely gave us the best chance to win.
Poles, again, doesn’t have to pick up his option, extend him, etc. if a new staff decides they want to develop Caleb or Maye… that’s fine. As long as Justin is here, he’s still under his rookie contract. Whether or not he starts another year or is a backup or traded isn’t really up to him outside of performing to the best of his ability.
Number 1 target should always be Jim Harbaugh until he says no. I honestly think this team, really this entire organization, needs leadership.
He’s turned programs around and succeeded. His players believe in him wholeheartedly, and they believe in each other — that’s examples of real leadership. He understands the rivalry with the Packers, but more importantly, he understands the position and what it would take to get it right HERE, where he played.
Hiring Jim Harbaugh, at least going after him intensely, would convince me this organization knows what needs to be done to move out of the basement of the NFL.
Hiring another flavor-of-the-week “genius” coach tells me they’re grasping at straws, hoping something works. We just tried it with Luke Getsy, we tried it with Matt Nagy, we tried it with Dowell Loggains, we tried it with Adam Gase, we tried it with Marc Trestman.
This coaching staff is full of frauds and men incapable of leadership.
This team lacks discipline and identity. It shows up all 3 phases of the game, especially offense. Players don’t know where to line up, constant boneheaded penalties, guys running into each other, etc.
This team is extremely “behind the times” on both sides. Little-to-no misdirection, creativity, or innovation on either side. Our coaches call games like it’s the preseason, every single week, and it makes you wonder what they actually do DURING the week to prepare.
An extension of the previous point — our coaching staff is out of their depth. They’re still falling victim to classic traps that are hallmarks of bad coaching: playing not to lose/being overly conservative, focusing more on Xs and Os over putting guys in the best position to succeed, failing to adapt, etc. They seem out of touch with the players as a whole.
This team needs a leader, BADLY. The McCaskey’s need to swallow their pride and go after Harbaugh, but honestly I wouldn’t mind a candidate out of left field: Dave Toub. Make Toub an offer he can’t resist, he’s past due to get a shot as a HC.
Bro I got a job w/ so many red flags that I overlooked because I get Sundays off. I’m finally over it, I’m going into NFL RedZone mode until next season.
Brisker gotta get out there on that corner route, JJ clearly playing underneath that’s on Brisker IMO
Put Sanborn at MLB, move Edmunds to the weakside. Thing is, without Sewell we might have to live in nickel
Mercedes Lewis has no receiving instincts LMAO no disrespect but he didn’t even make himself available for a catch
TJ Edwards is looking like an amazing pickup. Man has balled out all year under the radar.
3rd down screens baby that’s winning football
Personally, I believe that TE is one of the few positions where it’s a good thing that the sum of the parts can be better than the parts themselves.
Blocking, catching/route running, and YAC skills. If you can do one of those three, you’ve got a chance to make a team. If you can do two? You’ve probably got a pathway to starting and you’ll probably get paid.
Kmet may be average-to-above average at any of these, but that makes him good by comparison because there’s so many TEs that just exist on rosters and really don’t contribute much. No disrespect either, it just seems hard to stand out when you have to take on multiple roles on offense.
