Front 7 has talent

The whole point is to give power to the head coach to overhaul the roster.  I'm noticing that Howie Roseman is already adding players to the roster. It should be up to the coach to have final say on personnel. It's really disappointing as to where this organization is headed.

The players they are adding will fight for roster spots in tc.

Yea, but Howie shouldn't be in charge of adding players to the roster.

Howie is the GM and they have a scouting staff that reports to him.  Who should be in charge of adding players ?
We don't have a head coach at the moment to add his input.

Agreed but are you still pretending Roseman has done a good job? He's been GM for 3 years. The team has gotten worse each year and now you say the roster needs an overhaul

In many ways, we're worse off now than we were after 1998.

Well, they should of waited to hire a head coach before they decided to add players to the roster.

You don't think it should be up to the head coach to make the final decisions?

I think the head coach will be able to cut the guys they added....that would be the final decision

Do you honestly think that Jeffrey Lurie will allow the head coach to make the final decisions on personnel?

The last HC here did, but to answer your question I think the goal is to have the HC and GM work together.

I would say work together, but I think the head coach should have final say.

It's REALLY tough watching a guy with no real training or experience in player scouting trying to develop from scratch in a profession where 10-15 years of doing the dirty work may not be enough to prepare him.....and then KNOWING that the present and the future of the franchise rests on his shoulders......

If Lurie keeps him there at GM, it will be ANOTHER counter intuitive move that is beyond justifiable in any way..........yet I expect Jeffrey will do exactly that because while he likes football, he doesn't really understand it.

Here's a piece of advice for Jeffrey Lurie:

"The best victory is when the opponent surrenders of its own accord before there are any actual hostilities...It is best to win without fighting." - Sun TZU

In football, it's done by breaking the will of the other team by building your own team to be....bigger, stronger, faster, nastier, and more relentless...make them quit before you even play. When they look at the schedule, they privately think..."we can't beat them...I don't even want to play them...it hurts too much". In this age of soft prima donnas and paycheck players, it's easier to break the will of 31 teams than it used to be.

To build that type of team, you're gonna need a top shelf GM......and you don't have one Mr. Lurie.

WOW!!!! SPOT ON...... You said it perfect... lol
