Seumalo Injury

[Ike Kelly]

I'm not pitting Munch vs. Tomlin. Lloyd said 10 people would have a beer with Tomlin. I'm saying he would fill a room. Easy.

Oh, definitely he would.

Mr. Dumb *** himself would also be one of those standing in line to get in. He isn’t fooling anyone.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

Something weird went down, anyone could see that. When he left, he had a problem with SOMEONE. And there seems no love lost between the two. Munch was too much of a real leader, that would threaten a known megalomaniac as Shades is reported.

It’s borderline Ray Finkle Bleed. It’s almost as if he’s obsessed. Tomlin lives rent free in his head. Ironically, it appears he wants him to.

It also improved around the same time in Meyer's first year with the team and Canada was the OC then.

The OL has not been ready at the beginning of any year since Munch; always needs time to "gel" since Munch.

That to me has been more a product of the play calling than the line coaching.

Well, Canada started in 2021? Some would argue it was Tomlin's play calling by then. Has it changed with Smith? We shall soon see. If it's more hyper predictable, fear of throwing in the middle I guess we will know.

The entire reason for hiring Smith is his use of multiple plays and options from the same formations allowing for less predictability.

Right, that's the "plan." We shall see how much of it is actually achieved with Shades looming around. It's quite possible, as with the chopping of Kenny, that Tomlin has been ordered to change up his ways and has been forced to. He may well have been put on notice to keep the **** out of the offensive plans and we will see something less predictable.

Lets hope so.

Seumalo was their best OL last year and probably would be again this year. Do you bump Daniels from the lineup to get Seumalo back in there if McCormick locks down the job?

Tough call, but my gut says McCormick is going to be special.

I don't thin Meyer is a top OL candidate. I think he is familiar with the Tomlin way.

There has to be better OL coaching out there, but Coach Tomlin like familiarity.

The times those OL seemed to improve was mid to late season, any OL should be showing improvement at that stage of the season. It's the earlier in the season that good coaching can make things "GEL" much sooner. Look around the league, we are historically slow in the GEL department.

I believe he had really good numbers on the short shuttle or something like that and it translates well to good NFL OL. I'm excited for his future.

I believe you're right on with this. Also, not that it's a major deal, but I'm almost certain it should be "jell" not "gel."

Part of the reason COULD be to have a competent in-house replacement for Shades on the staff so after he stacks another 9-8 this year they can trade him for another teams 25, 26 and 27 first rounders since he is Sooooo valuable to every other team in the league and they will be lined up around the corner to acquire him (that one’s for the dreamers)

Part of the reason could be he interviewed well and they liked his moral character

Part of the reason could be they needed an experienced OC and he was willing

Part of the reason could be accepted what they were willing to pay

Could be a million different reasons

You don’t know the entire reason, it’s PURE SPECULATION…
Reminds me of some other posting here about the reasons behind decisions

I wouldn’t be so sure he’ll actually be allowed to run his offense without obstruction from above so while your reason may hold some truth to it I highly doubt that is the sole reason…but much like you neither of really knows what goes on behind the decision… this is the sort of pure speculation Lloyd gets ridiculed for

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I feel like I heard the same thing about Matt Canada. Or at the very least, something similar.

I thought the reason they hired Canada was his crayon assortment. He had this one nice shade of Jet Blue….

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

He used too much Burnt Sienna

Canada was an unknown mostly, Smith has a very good track record at the NFL level as an OC. He only had issues trying to be the head coach and the OC with no QB's worth anything in ATL. There is no comparison between their resumes, at all.

Close slash, He was actually one crayon short in his 8 crayon set……

B-U-T

He had the only crayon sharpener that was built into the box………….. That was the REAL reason.!!!

You can’t go wrong with those crayon sharpeners, I hear he thought the shavings was delicious and would sprinkle them on his salad.

Whoaaaa! Hold a second Drink, the speculation was that Canada had a fabulous Ultimate 156 Crayon Collection including the rare “Laser Lemon” color! The Ultimate Collection includes not only a sharpener, but also a superb collection stand. Obviously he meant business in diagraming plays in the playbook! But of course this all pure anecdotal on my part.

I like McCormick also.
I watched Tomlins press conference today and he said Spencer Anderson will be starting at guard.

That was the overall miss-conception, not just by media, but al;so by fans themselves. The “eye lids” being cut off and the questionable vision forward can be adhered to that thought process.

Matt, not from economical hardship, but by mental capacity limits, was ONLY able to handle 8 set crayons. He his father broke the “Laser Lemon” crayola and garbages it as an example of the “garbage time” future Matt was headed for. In Matts defense, Dad recognized that Matt could handle the addition of the built in sharpener, minus the single crayola.

Coach Tomlin, being the motivator that he is, bought Matt a full 8 set with the “chromed” in box sharpener. As many here could tell, Matt just couldn’t progress further with the added burden of the 8th crayola. Coach Tomlin kept encouraging him for near 3 years………………… and the rest of the story is history in the books.
