oldschool Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 58 minutes ago, NashvilleNinja said: So, Breer can't say whether or not these were the moves... but they were the wrong moves? AAS should fire Callahan... but she shouldn't have fired Callahan? If Callahan wasn't the issue, what was? Is AAS the reason they keep running screen plays that don't work? Is she the one who didn't know she should challenge a legitimate catch called incomplete? Is she the one afraid to call an up tempo offense that fits her QB? No one in sports media loves the sound of their own voice more than Breer. NashvilleNinja 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a history of not respecting or getting along with people long before Carthon or the Patriots thing came up. He ran off every decent assistant he had because he thought he could do their job better than they could. You were either in or out with Vrabel. He either liked you and let you into the fraternity or you were trash and he treated you like garbage. He's an arrogant prick and I think Amy got to the point where she had had enough. I don't disagree with most of this. My intent was not to be generous to him. Once it became clear to him that being in NE was realistic he threw his weight around. I was more trying to get at possible reasons his eye began to wander in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a clip a day or so ago where Vrabel was asked about him calling BC after being fired, and he said something to the effect that he did it because "no one calls you when you get fired", and I thought that was a little window into his relationships. rns90, and Mythos27 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vrabel always struck me as a good human being (off field) but an arrogant jackass when it comes to stuff relating to his job (on field). Not surprised at that condolence call to Callahan.

scine09 Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 I just watched the Skoronski clip. He doesn’t exactly seem broken up by the news. tgo, TerryBoats, and DCTitan 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a couple of other guys that were giving off the same vibes. I guess that is just players being sick of the constant losing.

TeamRamrod Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 (edited) Lol Jimmy calling out the reporters that said there was no plan for if Callahan got fired and said their sources were people close to Callahan who of course didn’t know of a plan.

Jim is the mouth of the team, but considering how pissy and petty reporters of this team are I kinda lean toward thinking this is more true than not.

Jamalisms Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 9 hours ago, scine09 said: Sneed, Chig, Dike (as a returner), Hekker, Cox, Joseph-Day possibly, Key situationally, Woods, Ridley when healthy. Maybe I'm reaching but when I look at it the results on the field look worse than the talent on paper. Of course the talent is better than the results on the field. That doesn't mean we have great talent but there's almost nobody playing to their talent level and producing on a regular basis. It's really hard to be as ineffectual, across the board, as Brian Callahan's team was. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 10 hours ago, Mythos27 said: I was being facetious. Of course I don't expect any major changes. That's why I expect us to continue to suck. We literally changed play callers 2 weeks ago and things got worse, not better. Once again, I'll ask: aside from blind hope why should I expect this change to makes things significantly better? Because Hardgree was still calling Callahan's plays and systems. McCoy won't be. That's the reason for optimism that the offense isn't actually the worst in NFL history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 6 to 7 wasted plays a game. In there place run PA/PA rollouts. Give Cam more half field reads. Quit the dog shit long developing run plays and get back to more zone. Hit some RB screens against pressure...etc. The in-game play calling has been as bad as I've ever seen. There's no way around that. There's a lot of things they can do just by calling a better game and scaling things down for Ward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
