  1. If we don't upgrade the lines with that first draft pick, I'm gonna be pissed! It doesn't matter what QB you put behind the current OL, he isn't going to do a damn thing, until its fixed. We need jsut as much help on the DLine too. If we pick a QB, RB, or WR, I'm going ballistic.
  2. Prayers out to the whole family.
  3. I still can't believe that was 20 years ago. It sure doesn't seem that long ago.
  4. I don't suppose this could have been said in one of the other 500 threads about Bates.
  5. This team has been so bad recently, I'm not sorry to see any of them go. The only coach I want to stay is April. He was the only one doing anything worth a damn. This team needs to leave behind all traces of its losing ways.
  6. I'm not worried at all about the 'phins next year. What worries me the most about next season is the Buffalo Bills.
  7. I read that years ago, also.
  8. Henderson has signed with the Lions. From KFFL: Lions | Henderson brought on to serve as defensive coordinator Tue, 24 Jan 2006 10:58:48 -0800 Sirius NFL Radio reports the Detroit Lions have signed Donnie Henderson to take over as their defensive coordinator.
  9. Just heard on Sirius NFL Radio, Henderson is going to sign with the Lions.
  10. Thin skinned or not, that teacher was way out of line, especially since the kid was taking a test.
  11. I was reading Sullivans article...why, I have no idea...and it got me thinking about DJ's feeling regarding the starting QB. I have a feeling that after DJ and the new staff study the films of last year QB debacle, that he will decide on Holcomb penciled in as the starter at the beginning of mini-camps and training camp. This team is going to have to go into the camps with a win now attitude and technically KH was better than JP. Although only marginally, I would think a ten year vet should have been much better than an eratic first year starter, but I'll save that for another time. Last year is only part of that decision, the other part is DJ is going to want to see how JP reacts to being number two and what kind of competitive fire he has in him. In other words, DJ will want to see if JP can earn the job rather than just having it handed over to him. If he shows that kind of fire and earns the job that would go a long way in earning back the respect he may have lost from the veterans last year. I do believe that there will be another veteran QB in here also, that he must compete with. Its not going to be an easy training camp for JP and if he can get through that and is named the starter by September, it will go a long way in his development.
  12. I don't know why everyone is so high on McNally. He hasn't done crap with our OLine. I'd almost like to see him gone.
  13. I wouldn't call it boring, I'd call it more of a "What the F__K?! ", kind of offense.
  14. The thing is, I don't think Saban would allow that.
  15. This is the one thing I have to really criticize about this quote. How often does an interim HC actually get the job at the end of the season? I can't think of one recently. Maybe the guy from Washington several years back, but I don't really recall and frankly, I'm too lazy to go look it up.
  16. He's under contract, exactly how can he do this?
  17. Actually, I think we're much better. The team was in total disarray after the season. This is a chance to start over. What exactly has TD done for us? We were only 1 or 2 seasons out of the playoffs when he got here and we only sniffed the playoffs once while he was here. And that one year, the team showed its true colors by getting wholluped by Pittsburgh's second and 3rd stringers when the playoffs were on the line. I don't know what the future holds for this team, but I don't think it will be much worse than the last five years.
  18. I'd like to see Caldwell as OC, maybe even Wyche. On the defensive side, obviously would love to see Bates. I wouldn't mind Haslett either for that matter. He had pretty good defenses in his Pittsburgh days.
  19. Don't worry Bill, there was no criticism whatsoever about Vermiel or any of the other coaches Marv mentioned. He was simply contrasting how different personalities can also be great coaches, thus the comparison of Ditka/Vermeil.
  20. The question something along the lines of "Did you learn anything since your time in Chicago about hiring Coordinators, such as Schoop." It was pretty close to that. His answer wasn't really defending Schoop but it also wasn't a ringing endorsement. Typical coachspeak and political correctness.
  21. I would say thats kind of BS. They are all under contract yet, so they are still with the team. However, DJ just said the the press conference that they will talk with all of them before any decisions are made.
  22. Yeah, like Greg Williams and Mike Mularkey.
  23. I can't say I'm really happy about DJ. But I'm delaying my vote until I hear who makes up his coaching staff. If he comes in with a good staff then, yes, I'll be happy. If he comes in with guys like he had in Chicago...I'll be pi$$ed!
