Culture change and reset needed (merged)
We have 3/5 of an offensive line and 1/5 of that has been a problem since training camp
We have zero WRs. Sorry, but Olave is complimentary. Shaheed if he comes back, and that’s a big if, is your one dimensional speed guy. We have no big possession receiver. We have no reliable TE. Without that we have no quick out to save the QB’s butt when the pressure comes. (See 3/5 of an offensive line)
Kamara is a great change of pace back, but we have no dominant runner. Don’t say Miller. He is not
We have no quickly DE and 1 good DT
Our starting safety is losing a battle with Father Time.
We have a QB that does great when everything goes well, a to be FA next year and a guy who just got embarrassingly shut out.
Loomis deserves a bunch of credit for this, as does the scouting department and whoever is choosing the talent. We have a great team for the underwear Olympics. And a real marginal one of football players when it comes to drafting.
As far as setting the stage, coaching, getting the team ready, that’s in training camp. Rizzi is simply crisis management so I don’t really blame this mess on him.
