If you watched the Petzing presser he said he's pleased with where Marv is but "he needs to clean some things up." Now Petzing says clean things up like most people use the word "the" so not a big thing but if you watch the whole thing he says it on Marv several times. At one point someone asks him about the analysis(from people like Kimes) that alot of the plays to Marv are low percentage or 50/50 balls and does he have a comment on it and he said no.

I've watched 3 of them now with Petzing I think it's obvious that he thinks the issues between Kyler and marv, are largely on Marv, and that there's communication and just being in the right place issues that they're working on during the week. Week after week he says Kyler is doing a good job of keeping even keel, which is a polite way of saying he's not blowing up at all the drops, bad routes and other things he's seeing.

Petzing was asked if the Wr group is performing as they expected and he without batting an eye says yes, if that's true the entire staff should be fired for knowing the Wr room was this mediocre and not doing anything to upgrade it.
WR coach is going to be the fall Guy if nothing changes.

Really did not want us to draft him. Wanted us to trade down and still manage to draft Rome Odunze but get some other picks as well. Even if we missed out on Odunze - I wanted us to get more players. We were not one top WR away from being a contender.

Something just seemed off about MHJ with the way he was handling everything coming out of college. And then there is the history of all of the father and son tandems that have ever played in the NFL - no son has ever followed a HOF career by their father with a HOF career of their own. We are already bad enough - we don't need to try and beat history while we are at it.

Just like Murray, I will keep hoping he proves me wrong. As a fan - even if you wouldn't have drafted either guy - you have no choice but to cheer for the players we do have. SMH.
You wonder if, because he doesn’t necessarily have the money motivation because he grew up with money and, presumably, his pops still had a good chunk of change, maybe he doesn’t feel the urge to have to put in the work to have a long career like a bunch of these guys do.

It’s too early to tell but it is something that might be worth considering and keeping an eye on

Where are you getting this, "he doesn't feel the urge to have to put in the work..."?

Every word I have read about him says the complete opposite.

I mean after mini camps an entire training camp and into week 7 of the season you prob shouldn't be making mistakes as to what routes your running at this point. Could very well be a lack of knowing the PB like you should IE a lack of putting in the work?

FWIW Petzing implied that Zay Jones will be a big help because he's so experienced. I took that to mean both we need Wr help, and one of the issues now is only 1 WR on the roster playing, Dortch, has much experience so they're hoping Jones will have a better feel for things
