Actually, in the OLD Al days we were winning Super Bowls. And even in his last season alive we were 8-8.
And we look about like an 8-8 team right now.
So Reggie came in here and tanked for 3 straight years. Had 3 straight top-5 draft picks. And this is what we have just one season removed from a 12-4 “how can one team have THAT much luck?” Season.
Now we see that our defense has gotten worse and so has our offense. Now we see that our OL isn’t actually the best in the league or even close to it, and that caving to Penn did absolutely nothing for us.
I’ll slam Reggie for a LOT of things, but Coop is not one of them. Cooper was the right pick for us. We just can’t -or won’t- get the ball to him. We should be regularly ripping the lid off defenses with him, taking shots downfield and scaring the shit out of DCs. But our offense seems to think he’s nothing but a decoy. If i’m Calling plays, every time I see Cooper drop a ball i’m Throwing right back to him on the next play or two. You have to get the fucking guy reps. You can’t watch him drop one and then never throw to him again. That’s not how this works.
There are many reasons we’re not a good team this year
The OL has shit the bed, for whatever fucking reason. And let’s not forget, they were never a good running OL to begin with.
Either our playbook is nothing but west coast short passes or our OC is too stupid to figure out how to spread out an opposing D.
Reggie makes dumb fucking decisions all the fucking time. And in this case, he made the conscious decision to completely ignore multiple positions of dire need, primarily on D. We’ve talked about the DTs, old man Nelson at FS, both of ur starting CBs being average, not to mention MLB has been atrocious for us ever since Reggie took over. And the bottom line is that there have been a SHITLOAD of elite to very good players available at all those fucking positions in the last couple of offseason. AND we have had fucking TON of cap space to get the job done.
So what does that last thing tell you guys? It tells you that the whole “Al left Reggie in cap he’ll” excuse is total bullshit. Because Reggie can’t get the fucking job done even when he has $50M in cap space. He is shit. Period. And here’s a fucking guy who was voted best exec or some bullshit last season. He has everyone fucking snowed.
Unbelievable.
BETTER be a playoff win in 2022.
