Loomis’s inability (1 Viewer)

[Goatman Saint]

Here’s my opinion. Loomis is a guy who has his coaches involved with the talent acquisition and departures. It’s been said on here before that Loomis picks the 1st round, coaching staff the next 2-3, then the scouts. But Loomis, even though he’s picking is getting the guys his staff want.

Here in lies the problem. Our coaching staff has been loaded with former Raider coaches and connections. What sort of player do the Raiders draft? The greatest guys in shorts at the combine. That way you physically outmatch your opponent. Davenport is the perfect example. He was a beast, but not a good football player. Then because of his great physical skill was kept and still worked with while your average talented, highly motivated player was let go because he was just an effort guy.

Thing is who wins you games? Sure talent and effort. But how many players is this really? Very few. Thomas, Colston, Sneed, Shockey by the time we had him, all effort guys. None were physically dominant, and none would be gotten by this past coaching staff. Would Allen have taken a Sam Mills, a Vaughn Johnson? No, but he would’ve loved some Turnbull and Mario Bates.

Whoever comes in needs to get us the lunchbox gang. Maybe not flashy in shorts, but know how to play and are going to give it 100% every down, every day.

Who are all these former Raiders staffers?

Hasn’t this forum had an off-and-on longing for Mister Raider himself, Jon Gruden?

Loomis does not really pick anyone. It's a consensus between the HC and the scouting Dept. If they can't agree the ML decides, and I'm betting that ML sides with the HC. ML is not in the war room saying " I don't care what you guys want I'm picking this guy"

His replacement is already in the building. Never seen his name mentioned here.

Are they still in the building?

My guess is that Rebelmax is talking about Parenton, who's probably a buddy of his from Thibodaux or Tulane and is also his inside source with the Saints for the past 12 years. It would make a lot of pieces of the puzzle fit.

If I guessed wrong, then of course it will be denied. If I guessed right, then of course it will be denied. So I expect a denial is coming either way.

Interesting.

Why was the other Loomising thread locked? Because someone compared him to Swimmer? Not good at reading restaurant menus?

 

[MJ in Calif]

The problem is Loomis picked DA and then did his bidding. If he picks another bad HC and does his bidding, we'll be going nowhere all over again.

True. But what if he lands another Sean Payton?

What upsets me is that we did not play players we drafted and/or let them go. Now, two are going to the Super Bowl with Philly: Baun and Gardner-Johnson. Really disappointing.
