New Staff Selection

I’m not even saying Raiola is at fault at all, didn’t mean for it to come off that way. Just saying being associated with the bears isn’t a selling point lol. He has pedigree as a stud lineman at Wisconsin though so who knows what kind of coach he will be. Would prefer we get someone more established but would give Raiola a shot

In our situation, we might not have a choice and almost anyone would be better than Austin.

Fair enough. One thing I’ve been thinking about is, the problem is clearly that Frost has brought people who’s only experience is working with him. Luckily that worked out ok on the defensive side, but he needs to go outside his immediate tree on these hires. The one hire he’s made outside his prior staffs has been an absolute homerun (Tuoti), so I think he can get these hires done.

Yes, but part is him holding the ball too long.

That and still not having a pass rush,  we are regressing next year no question.  Folks who aren't worried are gonna be in for a surprise.

As someone who has harped on our failure to recruit a legit pass rushing OLB for like five years now: right now I'm WAY more worried about finding a replacement for Daniels at NT than I am about pass rushing. Nelson is serviceable as a rusher, but without a legit NT, a 3-4 defense like this just plain will not work.

Nash isn’t even close to being ready to play. The hype for him needs to go away.

Easy to forget that we had the elder Daniels come in as a grad transfer for a year to anchor the line while his little brother continued to develop. We probably need that for Nash, too.
