    I've never watched or listened to him much before, but I can't argue with anything he said.

    ...and whoever did his teeth whitening deserves a raise. I'll remember my sunglasses for next time.

    You better believe the Denver and Seattle offenses are glad they are finished playing against the Texans defense. Last week, the Broncos dropped 44 and the Seahawks already have 28 in the first half tonight.

    Alfred Blue gets in from the 1 yard line. Just don't ask him to get 3 yards

    No… they definitely Miss Mixon but they wouldn’t be 6-2. The line is bad. The OC is bad.

    I appreciate that he is aware and honest about the situation. I also don’t see how this is all that mysterious - they gutted their offensive line and didn’t address it… that’s how I knew they were not entirely serious about winning.

    Nate Tice's tweet from last off season still haunts. At least Ingram did something but doubling down on saving's bin center negates that positive, while placing a rookie left tackle next to all that chaos.
    The worst part is Nick just laughed it off at all the concerns.

    They didn't "gut" the OL, it was already comprised of guts and other chum. A halfassed attempt was made to fix it, but that only made it halfway halfassed better.

    Ingram and Ersery are the 2 best things Caserio has done with the OL in (how many years?) his tenure as GM

    Agreed but not Tomlinson. And the Center is the 30th. Ersery being next to crap makes it more difficult for him.

    Nate Tice, 35 y.o. nepo son of legend OL teacher and coach Mike Tice, and who played QB in college for 1 game and threw 2 passes, has thoughts on an OL? Please tell me more.

    A big part of ownership is entrusting the right person/people to run your organization and the McNair’s have been very poor in that regard.

    So yes - it ultimately does go back to ownership.

    A bad owner can win - it’s happened before, but it’s a lot harder.

    When the owner picks the wrong man run his organization repeatedly, it is a problem.

    You're describing everyone in the business. But he also had his father on and said the same thing. Point is everyone could see it.
    From memory: Coach Gruden after the Packers game. Mina at halftime vs the Jets.

    You hate to have a "hands on" owner...but sometimes you kinda need one

    Andrews looked good the first couple/few games and then fell off the proverbial cliff.

    No they gutted it - it wasn’t great to begin with but they traded their best lineman and moved other bad to mediocre ones and then brought in a couple other bad ones. It was a festering wound entering the season.

    I think it’s a fine line. You need an owner that has a knack for hiring the right person to run the kitchen and then you let them cook…. Cal will spend money and he will meet all the social obligations, he just seems to have really poor judgment when it comes to picking who is going to run his organization.
