You are already putting Kyle on his status? Or using him as a defense for Kyle?
If that is the case, along with many of your other posts in Kyle's threads...seems like you(and others blindly support anything he does) this is going to be a long year between us buddy o'l pal.. buckle up!
As for the others.. I don't hate Kyle and still believe in him... but I'm worried he is "too smart" or he thinks, for his own good... I don't want this to be another Josh McDaniels Broncos situatuon.
We had a guard these past few years that pass protected well.. but we constantly tried to force others to start over him... and Kyle let him go, because he wants his own players/*fit* his system... Now yall want to complain about guard issues? Pass protection issues? Please.
I said the same s**t about Nolan when he first got here and shipped away a bunch of players...just so he could establish his empty suit wearing self.
Our issue last year was halftime adjustments... we did well in the first half of games (at least with Kap) games were close. We have had the talent on both sides. As far as defense, O'Neal made it harder for our defense to just "play" along with weird alignments that opened up running lanes... and of course Chip and our offense not adjusting in the second half...tiring out our defense.
When folks scream KYLE IS TAKING OVER A 2-14 team!!!!111!! It was the coaches who had a big part in that, which is why they were fired after one year.
Every elite player on the team not named Bowman left this team. Bowman is coming off injury and may or may not be as effective as his pro bowl years. Which players were capable of playing much better but for coaching last year? I'm not saying coaching hasn't been a problem but realistically, this team is being put together from a dead start.
