Todd Monken was given the title of "works with what he's got" but I just dont see how that's true literally at all. I can think of just so many examples of roster mismanagement and the inability to adapt in-game. The forcing of bad plays and concepts or even good plays but at ridiculously predictable times.
I hope we can sign guys and actually use them appropriately. Goes for both sides of the ball. The reason I didn't even bring up Orr here, is because he wasn't even competent. At least Monken deserves some kinda job.

Falls on our offensive philosophy since the beginning of time

I think he definitely wanted to go down field and pass more but it felt like he wasn’t taking advantage of what we had. Player usage is a consistent issue and simply rewarding players for playing special teams is ASS

He irritated me more than Orr. Because Todd should be great, but has some mental issue stopping him. Orr was entirely unqualified to be there.
he had two good seasons out of three and last year wasn't as bad as it seemed. He was totally handcuffed last year.

I feel like he barely played last year
I'm talking about Monken, not Hopkins.

Yeah I guess he was alright in 23, felt like he had a monster year in 24 tho

I only said guys coming off injuries. It hasn’t worked out for us in a while. I don’t think we really benefit from it. I never said anything about measurements or testing or injury histories. I specifically stated guys who are injured right now, which would also extend to guys who would be injured into camp.
Jones could be a great G but we really need year 1 impact players unless we’re talking about late day 3 picks, then sure

Oh, I thought you were talking about Hill. You think Monken was handcuffed?
the bad offensive line and an injured Lamar and Bateman, but I also don't think he did bad this year either. Just not as good as the previous two seasons.

I think you put him in a tier or two above me. I think AJ is borderline top tier if not the top of the 2nd tier.
AJ didn’t need to do anything during Saquon’s historic run last year, and last year they arguably had the worst OC.
Meanwhile we point to Zay last year, and yes he was great, but you also had Bateman and Likely out a majority of the season. Plus add in the fact Monken couldn’t utilize his WRs to their strengths.
My list would look closer to this, in no order besides tier:
Tier 1: JJ, Chase, JSN, Nacua, Nabers
Tier 2: Brown, Lamb, St. Brown, London, Collins, Pickens, McMillan, Pierce
Tier 3: Higgins, Waddle, Flowers, Smith, DK, Thomas, McLaurin, Addison, Sutton, Moore
At best Zay may be 14th, but I could see an argument for the other guys in that tier above him. He’s more like 14-20.

This team was awful in the redzone last year and I do not see it getting better without another outside threat.
Henry is fine in the redzone, but gets stuffed behind the LOS a lot. Lamar is not really a run threat near the goal line besides extending plays. Andrews is the only real threat and is steadily declining.
