Basically I want to know if there is enough of a difference choosing different skills to make a b2b playthrough feel fresh or would I be better off giving some time before giving it another go.
I found this video really interesting in light of our recent HC change and the general HC landscape. Arguably in line with the video idea, our best chance was 2020 and we missed it. We tried to reignite the fire with Watson and keeping Stefanski and we saw the results. Moving off Baker would’ve been the best time to do a a new alignment on HC/QB. Overall, we were 2 years too late on making such a move(and I don’t think most fans, including me would’ve been calling for it in 2023) yet what are the possibilities if we decided to look at our coaching options in those seasons? This isn’t the same idea as moving on from guys after a cup of coffee like the Browns were known to do over a decade ago but it is an interesting dilemma. The video even goes into the fear of making a wrong decision not being enough to hold you back and that was the talk even in 2025 when the team had bottomed out.
I know he’s had some rough moments but I don’t see why he’s in the doghouse. He can’t be such a negative to not at least get minutes Schroeder, Wade, Ellis got. He got a few minutes against Detroit, got in a little scuffle and then was pulled after just 3 minutes and hasn’t been seen outside of garbage time. I feel like he’d be a good use against Brunson and if start getting fouls racked up then sit him or switch him to someone else. I feel like he can be a spark off the bench which is missing outside of Strus and Merrill minutes.
I’d want to see him early in game 2 to see what he can do, have a tight leash but not one so bad that a bad 3 minute stretch vanishes him for the series big he comes in and gets picked on and picks up 3 fouls then sure but see if he can hold his own first.
