I felt this way at the start of the year but another year of Grudens finger blasting has wore me out.

Not solving the LG issue before the season and not having a young 3rd string QB with two QBs on the wrong side of 30 is a big problem for me.
You might have a healthy Alex Smith if you didn't settle on Lauvao and his bullshit backups.

You can't complain about injuries if you bring in the same injured guys year after year.

I wonder how much Jay has to do with player personnel, if/when we get a new GM it will be interesting to see if they keep Jay

That's what I'm wondering too. It seems Gruden has lot of inputs in draft boards, I think it might be safe to assume that he has inputs for FA as well. I really believe that GM's job is to serve head coach (in general) - GM should learn coach's style and philosophies and then find players that will accept the style and philosophies.

Well hopefully the GM hires a coach that will fit their drafting philosophy and not hire someone and then try to adjust to that person.

I get the idea and don't disagree outright but talent should trump scheme every time.

Pettibone and Dexter are great examples.

He worked the other 10 guys around Dexter, which is what good coaches do.

We have the best running back we have had since Alf or Portis (debatable for sure).

AP has experience and has had success running behind a FB for most of his career.

But Bill Callahan's scheme is a single back scheme, so we don't do it. In fact, the jags game was the first time, aside from short yardage plays, we ran a play with a FB this year. Not to mention how crappy our TE run blocking has been.

Failing to adapt quickly is the biggest negative on this coaching staff.
