GunnerBill Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Agree on Searcy. Only big WR of note available was Marshal. Just not seeing him fit with Watkins and woods. Maybe... you don't know what they might have been willing to give up to get someone who wasn't "available". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 We'd still be blessed with Hackett. This is the key problem, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transient Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 He retired before Marrone opted out. Correct. I believe it was in season, approximately a half yard shy of a first down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Correct. I believe it was in season, approximately a half yard shy of a first down. Haha. How funny would it have been if he had just literally slid half a yard shy of the sticks got up removed his helmet, chucked the ball at EJ and said "You're up champ.... I've had enough... I'm going to watch the rest of this in the bar." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Iapati (sp?) is one. Resign Spiller too That fills 2 of the 4 slots. Maybe one of the other FA lineman? I don't think searcy was ever in the plans at that price tag. Instead of Hughes, maybe another pass rusher? Schwartz needs 4 horses up front.

transient Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) This is what's been bothering me since the LeSean McCoy trade -- I actually think this team would have been better hiring your standard non-Rex coach and then standing pat (other than bringing in Cassel or some other Orton type at QB). Getting rid of Marrone, or Marrone getting rid of himself? Excellent. Bringing in Rex and a bunch of personnel changes dictated by Rex? Not good. Whether or not these personnel changes work out, I find it refreshing to see the team making a series of bold moves in an effort to get significantly better now, with a bit of an edge, instead of the 15 years of conservative dumpster diving, Mario Williams aside, that led up to this point. If Marrone stays, or if they go with non-Rex and stand pat, it feels to me like it would have been more of the same. Plus, any player that Whaley added, assuming he was still here with Marrone here, would have found their way into the doghouse and off of the field in short order so that Marrone could wear his "I'm with stupid" teeshirt with confidence while sitting next to DW at pressers. Maybe I'm wrong, and Marrone would have embraced spending Pegula's money with a little flare for the benefit of the team without the end run on Whaley.

Kelly the Dog Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I think perhaps we still make the McCoy trade. They still would have called Whaley. He would have been excited and brought it up with Pegula and Marrone. We still would have had Schwartz and known that Brown and Bradham had been great in Kiko's place. Marrone didn't seem to like Spiller or didn't know how to use him. He liked a ball control offense. I still think we get McCoy. Oh, and McCoy is pissed.

Dan Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 My brain can't possibly compute all the potential player moves that may or may not have happened; but in general terms, had Marrone stayed, this team would stuck in mediocrity. Chances are pretty good he looses the locker room by mid-season and finishes the season as a lame duck coach. In essence, we would have lost a full year of football. Of that, I have zero doubt.

YoloinOhio Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Why wouldn't they have done the McCoy trade and paid Spiller instead? Did marrone love spiller? I didn't get that sense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get that sense at all.Imo they loved him. Ran him up the middle as much as possible. Brought him back from an injury others might have IR'd. With new guards would come new hope for their run CJ up the middle philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSOL Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Remember that video Freddy shot of them celebrating in the locker room after a win and they dumped the gatorade on Marrone. The look on his face was priceless. He looked liked, semi pissed and thinking to himself "im gonna make um run extra laps for that" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
