The Sam Howell Thread

It's easy to sack a coach that's made the playoffs once in his tenure, and not come close in his next 3 years. Harder if he does it again this year, especially if we get at least 1 playoff win. I say it doesn't matter how many wins we get, unless we make the playoffs and don't get hammered in the first game, RR is gone.

I don't think SH is on a short leash, though that will change if he falls apart by mid-season, which i doubt he does. Plus I doubt anyone on this staff sees JB as a future starter. Swapping to him at any point except injury smells of desperation and that's as good as a nail in RRs coffin. He's hitched his wagon to SH for richer or poorer, and i think he sticks with him barring disaster.

I hope the new ownership stays out of the decisions about who plays. If they do, then I do see a scenario where JB takes over at some point, if SH struggles or is not making any progress.

Damn! 3rd and 11.

A heckuva opening drive.

These are some ugly blitzed schemes on the two blitzes.

Sam looks way better than Pickett and it's not even close.

I am impressed how Howell bounced back today, after last week. He was by no means perfect, but he played way way better. Can't be anything but a good sign.
