Jerry Jones says Dak needs surgery and will be out several weeks.

 

We need to sieze on this.

This is really disappointing news, I hope he’s back quickly. The only way to measure our improvement is by seeing if we’re better than the best in division so I wish him a speedy recovery

Jesus why can’t they just make the wins a little easier for themselves

Can’t say I’m overly impressed by what Iv seen, Jack Del Rio get your house in order ffs

I genuinely don’t believe in a knee jerk reaction guy, I just can’t see why we wouldn’t fire JDR it’s actually hilarious how he’s wasting our drafted talent

Carson Wentz is ass cheeks who knew? Philly and Indi did

Receivers roaming free of coverage sure does look like JDR’s defence is back, they have to be the most reactive defence in the NFL just 0 effort at being proactive

An offence that starts bright and runs out of ideas, sure does look like a Scott Turners offence

Aaaaaaaand that’s your lot

Del Rio running out of lives quickly 

If Trevor Lawrence was any good this score line would be a lot closer

Playing some good stuff but our refusal to put them away could be really costly, we’ve already had some good fortune on defence we don’t need to keep putting Lawrence back out there 

I’ve been thinking about Ron’s job security going into the new season, firstly I’ve liked some things he’s done in the past 2 years but they are mainly culture and franchise wide actions and not so much on field actions.

I’m of the opinion that if we see no tangible improvement in results this season then I would be fine with Dan firing Ron and here’s an example of why that has a lot of similarities, I’m English and for my whole life have supported West Ham United what you guys may call a soccer team, since 2010 West Ham have been owned by David Gold and Sullivan two ex porn barons who lets say saw the opportunity of a club financially on its knee’s and bought it whilst transferring it’s debt to themselves and charging it annual interest, not a great start. In the years that followed a wholly unprofessional culture was developed at the club around Transfer dealings with other clubs, owners picking players and eventually a pretty botched transition into a stadium that the fans have still not really settled into, sound familiar?

Managers (Head Coaches) have come and gone in that period and largely been unsuccessful commonly fighting to avoid relegation and having to deal with the racket upstairs, and for many years it was just accepted that whatever manager came in was going to struggle because the ownership was just that bad, a mindset I myself had adopted for a long time, in 2019 again trying to fight off another relegation West Ham turned back to David Moyes a man who kept them up previously but was not offered the role long term with the same outcome of keeping us up, except this time he had the job long term. Fast forward 3 years and Moyes has guided West Ham to a top 6 finish in the Premier League, a European Semi Final and back to back European qualifications in my lifetime, his focus was on the players, not only stabilising the squad but having them challenging at the top end of the richest league in the world, up until recently a limited budget.

So how does that relate to Ron and Dan? Iv seen numerous posts, social media and otherwise, interviews in the media and so on claiming that whilst Snyder is head of the organisation Washington can’t challenge in the play offs and beyond, but that’s simply just not true, this isn’t a justification for Dan of course we’d all like him gone, hell the West Ham owners are still what they were, but more to point out that Ron could and perhaps should still be producing better results than he has done. His inability between him and Jack Del Rio to find a commanding Middle Line Backer despite playing in the league as one and having a couple of the leagues best in Carolina is a major issue, and the jury is out on Wentz as a QB that can challenge in the post season. With those things in mind and entering his third season if Rivera doesn’t take us to the play offs this season and maybe even win a game in them then I’d thank him very much for his service to the organisation in cleaning up the culture etc and keep riding the Coaching carousel until one lands that has the ceiling to take us all the way

Ron’s pre match conference not exactly exuding confidence let’s put it that way

Howell is in

Ron has fixed the culture to a degree, but the standard of play is Jay Gruden levels of mediocrity

He’s on the block this year imo, and it needs to be better than what we’ve seen so far

Patiently waiting for the Sam Howell show now

Wentz and the gang when they finally get to play against the second string defences

Starting to become very difficult to imagine a scenario where JDR is still with the team this time next year.

Didn’t this guy come in talking up wanting to be a HC in the league again?

Perhaps he should focus on being a competent DC first

Keep hearing about how great he is in “practice”.

Vintage Washington 

Oh dear, has a defensive coordinator ever been fired in pre season? Asking for a friend

Still waiting on Jamin Davis to make a play

 It’s been a year and counting …

Iv been following this team for around 7 years now, much less time than most of you I’m aware, in that time they’ve invested a heavy amount of draft capital into the defence and bar 1 season against back up QB’s they’ve been trash

nothing has changed, on paper they’ve got talent but they just do not get it done at any point! 

I really really really like this, Howell has got some serious upside

They noted he had the same agent as Wentz and therefore potentially some familiarity so let’s hope that’s a positive relationship

That's fine,  but you weren't really discussing draft picks, only claiming matter of factly that our front office and their picks are basically trash. I just wanted to know what your qualifications were for making this kind of judgment before any of the players we've drafted have played a down.  

 

I assume you must work in the business to have that kind of confidence. So, what front office do you work in? 

I don’t know whether to be sad or impressed that you managed to fully contradict yourself in your first sentence

My qualifications are:

- 1 full season of watching Jamin bloody Davis, a Ron Rivera special drafted around 5 rounds too high

- An understanding of the front office’s complete mishandling of the defensive tackle position leading to the overcompensating pick we’ve just made instead of taking Brisker or Dean and filling a genuine position of need with high ceiling quality

It’s a short resume, but it’s growing with every draft this Front Office heads up

Yeah I'm not entirely sure what people expect others to do in a football forum other than...express opinions on football. You don't have to be a pro scout or coach to have an opinion on something.

Spot on Mistertim! That’s the beauty of fan forums

Just now, MrJL said:

 

Just because you're in a place where you can discuss it doesn't mean anyone's got to take you seriously

Where have I said that? You either like it or you don’t? I really couldn’t care less either way but to suggest your opinion is only valid if you have some kind of NFL scouting experience when commenting on a fan forum is laughable

Man these QBs are falling harrrrrd

 

I thought more would fall than we thought, including Willis, but I didn't think it would be this bad.

Has a QB ever attended the actual draft back stage and then completely dropped out of the first two rounds?

That must be really tough to take
