Overview
- Davis said he will not make significant leadership changes now, voicing faith in Carroll and GM John Spytek while requesting solutions following the shutout loss.
- The Week 7 defeat in Kansas City produced 95 total yards, three first downs and just 30 offensive snaps, underscoring one of the franchise’s worst offensive showings.
- Geno Smith’s turnover-prone start included an in-game benching for Kenny Pickett; reporting indicates he could still be the Week 9 starter after the bye.
- The offense ranks near the bottom of the NFL, including 28th in total yardage and second-worst in scoring, with critics labeling Chip Kelly’s unit “brutal.”
- Outside of rookie runner Ashton Jeanty, the 2025 draft class has seen limited roles as analysts push for youth development and major offensive line upgrades, with some pundits even urging Carroll’s exit and floating speculative QB and coordinator options.
