Possibly, but will you be ready to drop bradley and the coaching staff if the players you mention do not continue to progress? yes I will

 

Joeckel is used to NFL speed from last year.  He's in his 5 game as LT and is still making mistakes. You must realize that have unrealistic expectations here. Drafting a LT high doesn't guarantee he's an all-pro after 5 starts.  It doesn't mean he sucks if it takes longer either. I'm giving him till NEXT October to prove it - and I bet he does it by December. 


 

Shoelace made a nice catch as a WR, but hasn't really gotten off the floor in terms of running the rock.  He's only had a meaningful number of carries in one game. Yu should be looking at the O-line here, and not Denard anyway IMO. 


 

Hurns is still making the same mistakes, granted he's a rookie, I'm not even being critical of him..

 

I'm just saying at some point one group of fans will be right, and one won't.  We'll see.  I just don't want to start over again. Ugh 


 

I just don't like where this whole thing is going.  And I'm not even sure it's Bradley's issue so much as the fact that he hired coordinators that seem to be the bottom of the barrel… I'm not sold on Babich. Not at all.  Sick of this soft zone 


 

I'm being critical here, but I actually thought we played the best we have all year.

All your points are correct.  I think you're missing my point...

 

I start every Sunday expecting progress...  And on a few occassions  I see it.  Then I see the lack there of.

 

I'm with you regarding Joekel...  But remember the dude was taken 2nd overall, right?  He should be a game changer...  He may still be, but the trajectory for his career is starting flat and thus we need to see exponential growth from him moving forward.  I hope that happens.

 

I, like you, am a big Denard fan.  That's why I mentioned his catch in this game.  But if I'm going to be critical, I do think he needs to step up.

 

With that said, I am now fully aware of how horrid the O-Line is.  It's bad.  And the weakness of our line will impede the development of not only the RBs but also our QB...

 

With that said, Storm Johnson looked really good in the few runs he had.  Perhaps he's the answer?

 

I'm actually rather pleased with the offensive play calling this week.  I thought there were alot of plays that Fish called (still not going to spell his name right, yet) that were much better than prior weeks.  

 

I just want to see continued progress.  Heck, we didn't get blown out this week.  We may as well take that as a win.

 

But with that said, there are things I want to see get better, faster....
