Lovi Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 This dude turned around a complete Sheet Show of a team to now have 4 straight wins. We look night and day difference from last year, and we still have a complete dearth of talent. He's had to deal with serious off field issues within the organization (idiots as well as those involved with scandals), dealt with all of the name change issues, players wanting to leave, no players wanting to come here (even for crazy prices), completely retool the coaching staff, implement completely new schemes, handle the qb carousel extremely well (something no coach has really done well here in forever), all while fighting cancer on the side! If this dude doesn't deserve coach of the year I don't know what qualifies short of having the best record. So glad he's our coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 Here’s something I just thought about. The 49ers game started rough. I feared a let down after the Pittsburg win, but by the third series, the coaches got the team to focus. So often, this team spiraled out of control and a sloppy start meant a bad game. This time, they wrighted the ship before the first quarter ended (defenseively) and the team was sharp for most of the game after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedBNG Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I credit the white uniforms. No, wasn't really thrilled at the time of the hire but must admit he's exactly who we needed for HC right now. At least the D is rolling over teams and taking no names.

Funny thing is, if you take a critical and honest look at our 2-7 start, you wouldn't really be surprised. 3 close losses and -11 in turn overs. Further, while our defense had some brain farts, it usually was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever the cameras show Coach Ron on the sidelines, he seems like he's meditating like a baseball manager in the dugout. Not talking to anyone, screaming, or even talking on his boom-mic headset. (actually, the mic boom is stowed upwards and not on his mouth - like the pic below). Does he just let his coordinators do all the talking? I'd love to be in a live game and just watch what Coach does on the sidelines. Yeah, I've noticed it too. He seems detached from the game-day coaching. My guess is, he trusts JDR to do his thing and knows he doesn't have to help. And with Turner, he knows he's not going to help by staying in his ear and trying to call the game for him. It's like that old golden rule for owners, specifically "hire good people and stay out of the way". The coordinators know he's there if they need him but otherwise follow the game plan. It quite Zen if you think about it. In the heat of battle but having the self control to stay above the fray.. At least that's the way I read it.

I am convinced that this team is a 2nd half team because of how badly the defense wears down their opponents. The proof is in their record the past several weeks. These guys play hard til the final gun...that's good coaching and good character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petey hodge Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I listened to Coach's live interview today... he mentioned on their day off that there were 30+ guys in the training room working out, visible to their other teammates. Not an ominous sign of them working out with their own "personal trainers and gyms" but with their Teammates! This nucleus is feeling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carex Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I think we've been coached pretty well, I do have one concern. Roster management. The Gibson injury kind of highlights something. We came into camp with six RBs. We cut two, one was picked up and the other was cut for doing crappy stuff as a person so he's not coming back. During periods we had 7 WR or 10 DL with more on the PS we frequently brought in zero extra backs. I think this was pretty dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTskin Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 In years past, this game was a classic spot for a letdown... I was telling people that this game would be the test for this team to find out if there really has been a change and boy did they impress. Unfortunately, I believe our qb situation caps us but that’s out of the coaches hands. They are getting everything they can out of these guys, turned us into a team with a “closer” mentality and I freaking love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabbyrwock Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 We are actually playing meaningful games over the holiday break. Feels incredible. Whether we make the playoffs or don't make the playoffs, the coaching crew and team have done a helluva job. In the past I would turn on a game, watch the first quarter or so and say "yup we're gonna lose" and just let it fade into the background while I do other things invariably cursing Brucifer. This last game I was at work and on my way home, caught the game on the radio in the truck and heard how bad the offense was doing, that we were down 7-6 and I actually thought "no worries...there's always the second half." I was actually happy we hadn't spotted them two touchdowns...a deficit I realize I almost expect them to overcome these days. Ron's not just changing the team but the fans as well (at least this one). Having said that, twenty years of battering has me bracing for Dan to pop out of a shadowy corner, like a pasty white miniature troll, yell "Happy Thanksgiving" and ruin everything.

lovemaskins Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I’m just happy to actually like watching football again. The past several years were pretty low for me and I’m starting to cheer again. I grew up in a redskins household where the three of us would watch cheer and high five great plays and be down when we’d lose. We went football caroling at family’s houses that were cowboy fans after super bowl wins. Diehard skin fans, even made the local newspaper. I stopped cheering the last couple years. Nothing to cheer for, no hope no plan just apathy. But Ron has me believing again. We got us a captain now. My boys play hard now... expect to win, team full of dogs, and that’s all I need to support them. Hail to the WFT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does feel good to be invested, doesn't it? Like you, the past few seasons for me have been void of any real emotion, ultimately indifferent to the outcomes of games. The most excitement I had was hoping to lose to snag Chase Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the Rivera hate was rooted in Haskins love. Since that time, the team has thrived and Haskins looked like Haskins again. On that front, there is no time like the present to serve crow. If Rivera loses his mind and Haskins ends up being a solid pro, make no doubt about it those folks will crawl out from under rocks to tell us all about it.

D’Pablo Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I’m convinced that our team looks better because our coach is healthy and fully present. That’s got to have a huge impact on the tenor of meetings and overall morale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't checkout at the half. Big question is if we ever have real success in the first half, will we still dominate in the second half? If the answer is yes, I believe other teams really need to worry. The only real question on this front besides this one is if we can demolish someone when there is nothing in it for us.

HigSkin Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I don't know where to put this but if anybody gets a chance to catch Get Up, Foxworth in his U-nique Perspective segment predicts Washington's Super Bowl window opens next season. Claiming there are so many star players playing out playing their salary hits. They aren't perfect but easy to see them making a run, much like 49rs a year ago. The whole panel agreed the team is being built right and going to be a tough out this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
