Wheatley was handed a stable of RB's that can't stay healthy. Fournette started eight games. Yeldon started five. Hyde started two. Grant was gone after the 5th game of the season. We pulled Jamaal Charles off the streets for a few weeks at one point. And then we activated David Williams off of someone's PS I believe.

Flaherty's ENTIRE offensive line was TRASHED throughout the season. Just obliterated. We had to bring back Omameh and sign Flowers mid season after we were down to our 3rd or 4th string LT. Norwell was in and out of a walking boot. Linder is always good for missing a game or two (or more) each year he's been here. Robinson was done early. Parnell couldn't finish. It was bad.

And Fewell? How the [BLEEP] does that work? The secondary still finished as one of the best in the NFL. That's in spite of Church blowing assignments, and then a rookie taking his place and being in and out and ending up on IR which technically means he was down to a 3rd string SS. Then we lost Bouye for a few games and I believe Hayden. AND.. that's on top of the defense being out on the field entirely too much thanks to the injuries and overall ineptitude of the offense to begin with!

ALL of these firings are head scratchers. Even Hackett's firing was a head scratcher when you look at the injuries going all the way back to Lee during the pre season. This is just a piss poor excuse for Marrone. A load of bull [BLEEP] really. I don't know what the [BLEEP] Coughlin is doing in that building either. Just a bunch of dumb [BLEEP] decisions being made so far. Not good...

Has ANYBODY been [BLEEP] fired yet from the strength and conditioning staff?

Maybe the firings are not just about on field performance...
Besides, people would complain about keeping the same staff and say the oft misused "definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again."

Gotta do something to shake this team up with the bosses staying in tact. A new QB and a couple of new offensive players isnt going to do it.
