Official Kevin Matthews Thread

Do you think it is ego on te coaching staff as to why Amano still plays? Is it them just constantly thinking they're right?

 

lol Matthews sucks. If he had a different last name he'd have a desk job somewhere. He's just a product of the same Fisher BS loyalty program that's stuck with the team...guy gets a free job just becuase hes the coaches son.

 

Well, when Munch says with a straight face that we have an excellent OL and Harris and Amano would get the job done and then they didn't with a whole season last year with Matthews as OL coach and Munch as HC, clearly a change - and an improvement - needs to be made. Don't really understand Hutchinson other than to lure Peyton when there were 3 Pro Bowl OG's available. Then we brought in a bunch of OC's with the thought we need to make a change there. Signed no one and drafted no one.

If we want CJ to get back on track, he's got to have the blocking and we're not getting it done right now. Even if Hutch comes in and mauls in the run game like he used to, Harris and Amano will have a major negative impact on our consistency in the run game which has a major impact on our consistency as an offense!

Matthews is not the answer at OC unless he's significantly better than last year which is hard to believe. Give Velasco a shot but hope a solid vet gets let go and we can pickup for cheap. Shocked we didn't see OL as a need but took a backup TE, CB, DE but didn't look for a starting or developmental OC or OG.

If we had rebuilt this OL, all of our weapons would be devastating. There is a reason why the first thing you do to slow down a QB is to rush the passer. At the same time, if an OL gets blown up in 1 or 2 spots consistently, it makes it very difficult for anyone to run behind it consistently.

Gut

 

Honestly I think that's a big part of it. It seems like they feel they can coach up any scrub into a pro bowl level lineman. Amano proves otherwise if you ask me. I'm almost certain that's why they didn't take DeCastro or Konz.

 

We can hope. I remember Harris mauling the Ravens in the playoffs. Seemed a logical choice at Center, his natural position, after Mawae left. Logic...

 

Too logical! This is the NFL, nothing is as it seems!

 

My thoughts exactly.

People keep hoping that a veteran C is released… I highly doubt it! There weren’t many C drafted and with the exception of Konz I don’t see any of them starting. Even if Konz does start, he might start at G to develop him into a C. I don’t see any current starting centers having to worry about losing their jobs. If anything, second and third stringers will be cut.

I have the feeling the FO already sees someone on our current roster as our starter. I don’t know anything about Valesco and Mathews, but I think just switching Harris to C and Amano to G would already be an improvement. Surely Harris has been coached to snap the ball by now.

 

Ditto!
on Velasco.
