In the NFL it is imperative that you are able to find and develop low tier free agents to play useful roles. There isn't enough money or draft picks to address everything. And they are failing at this.

It seems like we are getting the mirror image of Quinn, he was more pro player personnel than draft and Holmes so far has been more draft than pro player personnel..

At the same time… if the game plan was for the DBs to be physical with Hill and Waddle yesterday…. That certainly didn’t happen.
AO regressed this year. Nickel CBs have been awful. Okudah has been mixed, but perhaps more positive.

So 6 seems to be the consensus. They are currently 0-5 against teams with winning records, 1-1 against teams with. 500 records and haven't played anyone that currently has a losing record.
They have 6 Games left against teams under .500 and 4 over. With how close they've been in some of these games is 4 wins unreasonable against the lesser teams? Stealing one win from the winners? Or some combination of that to get 5 more to get to 6? I don't think it is. I'm not convinced it happens but I'm also not convinced it won't.
They had a similarly front loaded difficult schedule last year and picked up more wins and a tie in the second half. Why is this year so different? Its a rhetorical question. I know the answer is frustration with not seeing W's in close games. I know some of you hate the patience word and I wouldn't argue with you that the Fords have been too patient in the past. I also think some of you are being too impatient in not even letting the season play out.

Originally posted by JGSpartan View PostI was surprised after the game to see Campbell pissed saying the game plan was press coverage because if they were trying to press they most certainly failed which is weird considering they have big corners. The question is of course how much of that is actually Pleasant's fault? How much is on the players? How much is on Campbell? I don't think anyone on the outside likely has the complete answer to that. Heavy press coverage does seem to be a good logical gameplan for the opponent if actually executed.
The AO decline being a big mystery. Not too surprising to see mixed safety play and poor production from nickel CBs. Hard to ask much more out of Okudah given the achillies injury and he only has 17 games of experience in his career.
Seemed like Tua was quick releasing the ball all game and had monster success. I can hardly blame the lack of pass rush because that was evident yesterday too.AAL 2023 - Alim McNeill

I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

Trickalicious - I don't think it is fair that the division rivals get to play the Lions twice. The Lions NEVER get to play the Lions, let alone twice.

How many times has an opposing QB had to check down? Maybe once a game?

When the talent level on the field is piss poor, who could be responsible other than the person who assembled the team? Is there someone else making personnel decisions behind the curtain? If so, who?
