Dayo is the one DE that should be able to bull rush. Latu was either getting mauled by Cam Robinson or they we chipping him with a TE before passing him off.

This is bad football team poorly constructed. Still in need of a qb because we don't have one. What a mess.

And if Shane doesn't want to fire his BFF Bradley fire his ass too. It's not like he has been all that impressive.

If Shane does not fire Gus, he will get the axe, because wins are what matters, and makes them increasingly more difficult to get.

I think that's what happened to Jim Mora when he refused to fire Vic Fangio.

Two words...
Tom Olivadotti.

Shitty defensive coordinator that Shula was blindly loyal to. Wasted Marino's prime as Marino consistently had to win shootouts. He never had the luxury of winning when he had a bad day. Shula's refusal to fire him was only ignored because Robbie was just a pig-headed in his loyalty. Whole organization suffered as a result. Irsay squandered Manning's talent, Luck's talent, and the trend continues all because he holds no one accountable, blindly loyal until the damage to the organization is catastrophic.

Exactly. What a dysfunctional mess those years were.

Chaos is spot on regarding Mitchell. Ballard had a conniption because people questioned Mitchell's shortcomings in YAC, making contested catches, lack of maturity, rudeness in interviews, and being nearly uncoachable. The kid better turn things around quick because the criticisms are increasingly credible and Ballard looks more and more the fool. And when did he become A D Mitchell? Thought he was known as Adonai. What the hell does A D stand for? Apprehensive Douchebag?

Another positive I wanted to mention...

-Josh Downs. He's a short-to-intermediate nightmare. Flacco illustrates that better than Richardson right now. Like with Minshew last year, we have all the pieces of a totally complete QB in the room...

They're just spread between two players. Old Flacco still has a better arm than Minshew.

You see that we have real WRs when Flacco runs a little more traditional style and is accurate.
