Ron is trying to win now to save his job. I wouldn't be shocked if he went w/ the safer option that will take care of the ball and have less negative plays.

Al Galdi made the point that if they don't win he's out, but if they do win a lot his probably out too cuz Bienemy gets his job... Unless they win 10+ games with a very good defense and an awful offense, I do think the point can be made Ron is on the hot seat either ways.

For RR, the safer option is not the safer option. Ron apparently thought that Wentz was the safer option to start against Cleveland last season. The truth is that he doesn't have a feel for offense in the modern NFL or for the QB position.

He had better leave the offense to EB and let him develop Sam if he wants to keep his job for the entire 2023 season. He's gone in 2024 no matter what. But if he stays out of EB's way in 2023, he may be offered a nice front office job with the team when EB is promoted to HC.

Re: 2023 Commies training camp thread

Interior OL is becoming intriguing, aside from Mason Brooks I heard Logan Paulsen today say that the OT they signed from the XFL was moved inside to guard after failing at OT and was looking good running with the 2nd string OL. Difficult to see how they can keep everyone with maybe only 10 OL places on the roster, wonder how they keep Charles if he doesn't win the starting job or Daniels as a project if they end up losing some promising guys elsewhere

Keim and Bram said on the podcast the fourth round tackle Daniels pick has been awful.

Yes I saw that, it was Bram that said he couldn't see a place for Daniels on the roster and that he might get cut, which would be a shocking waste of a 4th round pick. The hubris of NFL front offices wont let them cut him so early, so we are likely to lose a more promising player, albeit from the back end of the roster. The new owners wont be impressed.

John Keim
@john_keim
Not working in full team drills today: TE Logan Thomas (calf), G Saahdiq Charles (calf), RB Curtis Samuel (leg). CB Emmanuel Forbes is taking reps.


Thomas, Charles, Samuel injured….or as I refer to them, the usual suspects

Oline still scares me. So does Ron. Luckily EB is here to run the offense and Sam has wheels.

Re: 2023 Commies training camp thread

Charles is always hurt and might just suck altogether, and Daniels looks like shit so far apparenlty.

I hope Paul is ready to play and Brooks is a UDFA gold pick-up. Otherwise, LG might be a clusterfuck this year.

That left side of the 0-line is going to be a disaster. How are those guys going to block the Eagles?

Agreed. It's so bad I'm willing to stop complaining about David Mayo and start whining about Saadhiq Charles.

Re: 2023 Commies training camp thread

Sadly they once again didn't lift a finger to truly gain talent on the o-line. I don't care who's scheming/calling the plays... it won't mean a damn thing if the opposing D is in the backfield in 2-3 seconds flat 80% of the time.

We will see how it plays out but I'm not looking forward to how badly Ron & Co may have handicapped not only Howell, but the team this season.

I'm curious, which part do you think they could have done better beside signing 2 FA OLs and drafted 2 OLs?
