Question?? About Chan Gailey/Buddy Nix

IMO he failed to bring in a quality RT. I hope that Cornel Green proves me wrong, but it is my understanding that the first two attempts he wiffed at and the money on the table for Green should of landed a better option. Other than that he has built a solid foundation and Chan has given Jarmon Meredith alot of work this preseason.

Chan Gailey has prepared this team mentally that they can compete with anyone, even the fans to some extent. This was no easy task in it self. He still needs to put it on display.

Realizing that the playoffs are a long shot this year, a real long shot at this point, I give them both a B-. If we can stop the run on defense and if we can play a full 60 minutes on offense, I would be willing to raise the grade with the understanding that the playoffs are still a long shot.

Nix gets a C-, to many questions along OL. Chan gets a B-, waiting to see team performance under reg. season conditions to really grade his performance.

Chan has been the man. In my opinion, he’s done the most and more with what he’s had to work with. I’ve been extremely impressed with how he’s prepared and led the team thus far. Buddy has also done well, but he drops to a B because I consider Cornell Green a pretty weak pickup.

Chan Gailey = A

Buddy Nix = B-

I think Cornell Green is a stopgap for Jamon Meredith on the right side. I also think they fully believe Demetrius Bell could be the franchise LT. The problem is the lack of depth along the line this year. If things don’t pan out with the current line-up, they will be scrambling next year. They are taking a big risk.

Chan B
Nix C
Looks like he hit a HR with spiller, but that was a really bizarre draft overall. Can’t judge it yet, but the early returns are strange. Everybody’s favorite late picks (Brown and Calloway) have already been cut, and the 2nd rounder hasn’t seen the field despite good reports from training camp.

I like Chan’s changes to the offense, but I need to see it agains real defenses before I believe it.

Either S+ (Super Satisfactory)
S (Satisfactory)
S- :(Almost there dude, improve a little)
or N: (Needs improvement)
If you got an N- , then you were in big trouble.
No matter what your rating, the teacher got to write nasty comments in the remarks section if she wanted. “Tommy is a very smart boy, but talks too much in class and tries to be the class clown.” NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I got good grades and still got screwed by the teacher! Not fair.
So, for this report card, Chan and Buddy, they both get an “S”. Second report card will be issued in four weeks.
