  1. I think part of the plan to help the CB situation was to improve the pass rush, which we’ve done. Hyde and Poyer also make up for average CB play, and their help over the top and in the middle has allowed Tre to shine and elevated the play of our other CBs. With the pass rush improved and Poyer and Hyde, I think finding elite level CB talent is not as big of a deal.

     

    Yes, I absolutely feel we need CB help. Hopefully a veteran and an early draft pick. But, I also feel the other pieces of the D are designed to take some pressure off a young CB or a veteran who has lost a step.

     

    I also wonder how long Hyde and Poyer both continue to play at the level we’ve come to expect, and how long until neither of them play at that level. With this in mind, a CB drafted with first or second round picks for the next couple years makes sense, as you expect your young CBs to adjust to the game and pick up the slack as safety play begins to fall off.

  2. I skimmed the pages and did not see this so far, but it seems like an obvious win to do a "photo booth" type event. The best part is you could have 2 or 3 players at a time, either at different photo stations (I'm going to say stations because you would not want an actual booth, but more like a photo shoot area) or all together at one. Though having multiple stations would help more fans move through the activity. So say you have 4 photo stations with one player at each, fans could choose which player they wait in line for and the rest of the players could be off doing other activities, and then maybe swap out the players every 30 or 60 minutes.

     

    You could do football themed backgrounds or use green screens. Football themed props seem like a no brainer, but maybe mix it up. Who would want a picture with Josh while you're both wearing Buffalo Wing hats and holding light sabers? Everyone, that's who.

     

    The best part is, you could give a wallet sized photo or 5x7 photo for free that prints off immediately at printers set up by the photo stations, but then provide a website where fans can go to order additional prints and photo packages, magnets and coasters with their photo on them, etc. This puts more money in your pocket while providing an amazing experience for the fan.

    Probably making it more than it is.  This stuff happens all of the time.  Daboll was here 4 years.  How many OCs across the NFL have been in their position longer than 4 years?  I'd bet the majority have not.

    How many have worked for the same boss for 4 years and not been pissed at them at least once?

  4. Good coaches who have transformed a franchise and have a current team near the top of many important statistical categories all while being in great position in yet another playoff race. Is it the 7-5 record that bothers you? If so, then all but 8 NFL coaches should be fired. Just stop.

    "He can't beat his mentor, Andy Reid!". He beat Andy Reid.

    "He can't beat good teams!". He beat good teams, multiple times.

    "He can't win primetime games in a national showcase!". He won primetime games, multiple times.

    "He can't win playoff games!". He won playoff games.

    "He can't beat Bill Belichick!". He beat Bill Belichick, twice.

    I guess the last two dragons left to slay are Belichick in a "meaningful" game and the Super Bowl. So far, he's done pretty well at slaying the dragons placed before him.

     

    Last two? That’s not how it works around here. Some people are never satisfied.

     

     He could win back-to-back Super Bowls and people would start complaining about how he can’t three-peat.

    I will be parked in front of the big screen with a fine Belgian trippel chilled to the perfect temperature and some high grade smokables.

     

    I'd watch it out on my deck if it weren't for the damn mosquitos. With all the rain they are really bad.

    Triples are under appreciated, in my opinion. I’m planning to brew one a couple weeks from now. Good choice!

     

     I’m currently enjoying a nice IPA from New Anthem brewing and getting food ready. I’m making a mac and cheese with extra sharp white cheddar, Asiago, and peppered bacon. I couldn’t find wings in the store at a decent price so doing homemade buttermilk fried tenders and serving with buffalo, bleu cheese, and jerk bbq sauce.
