    Too bad he thought he could be a HC and not just understand his place in life.

    Such a frustrating era...

    I don't know. Munchak had three years and during that span the FO missed on a QB (that he liked, admittedly) and, more importantly, it seemed like we had a revolving door of injuries every year.

    If we ever get to a point where we can obtain information about parallel universes, I certainly wouldn't mind learning how Munchak's head coaching career would have played out had he had some consistency on his team. That said, his personnel decisions were pretty real bad.

    He had no shot, all of the 2011 QBs turned out to be turds.

    Then 2012, just 2 guys he had no shot at.

    2013 same problem as 2011, all turds.

    It's all about the QBs.. if you don't have one you're screwed

    I never thought about it like that, but yeah, you're 100% correct. Given the situation we were in, no coach could have been successful with this team over that time period.

    Which, really, when you think about it, it's kind of crazy that he did as well as he did. I mean, dude did get a winning season out of the team (admittedly against a weak ass schedule).

    But him being 0-3 against winless teams (5+ weeks in) is a bad look.

    He knew how to operate within our team, but he had no master plan. Over time that came out. Most line coaches never cut it as HCs, hes not the first or last.

    Meredith needs a chance with the 1's. Poutasi might turn into something if he can learn to not lean on people, lose his balance, and then whiff. He will get Mariota killed. He whiffed in the last 2 games and Mariota is not gonna last the season if he takes shot after shot like that. Bell took a step back against the Chiefs but while he gets beaten here and there, he's not whiffing on a pass rusher.

    Meredith has been very consistent with the 2's (and unlike Levitre, knows how to block for a screen pass!). He's played OG and OT so any combo of Bell/Meredith at LG/RT and see how that goes. Meredith is not definitely the answer as all his game time has been against 2's, but I'd say he earned a chance to work with the ones and at least push Bell/Poutasi for a starting role! Don't know if he can play OC but if he can, he can push Schwenke too!

    Watching the Cowboys OL and the Giant holes they are creating in the run game and the time for the QB to eat a Ham sandwich in the passing game is awesome. Which we had that!!!

    Bump

    So have we settled our line issues for 2015? Meredith looks as good maybe better than Warmack.... Should we keep him over Warmack.... Im fine with that if you couldnt tell..

    I am good as long as we swap Poutasi out with Meredith when Warmack comes back.

    Poutasi is our weak link right now....he has been beat several times and his holding call was one of the plays that costed us the Colts game.

    Zach Brown cost us that game, if he goes in for an easy TD instead of tackling Derrick Morgan we dont settle for 3 and lose by 2....

    But back to linemen,, you want to put Meredith at RT and pull Poutasi?

    If we're pulling Poutasi then he gets Bells job, that guy is crap..

    If ZB doesn't make that interception, we don't settle for 3 either.

    ZB set the offense up in a position to score which is his job and the O failed.
