Prone ?

He would be a great candidate with an excellent shot at winning. Little doubt.

Not bad. Worth a Starbucks coupon.

Git R Done, Marv !

I want to think Ralph and Marv are doing the right thing. Please don't let us find out they're looking for Coaches who will work for Soup and a Sandwich, instead of talent and experience.

Why is this OL coach and ex-NFL Guard such a hot commodity for an OC postion ? He has zero experience calling plays, from what I've read. sigh..

I feel the same way. Frustrated fans of other teams can relate.

His leg injuries were constant. I remember too many plays during home games where I focused on the middle of our line and Chris V. was getting planted. I remember one play where the DT just spun him around and just ran over his back, as CV fell face down. Teague and Bennie became jealous and tried to do worse. We must be active during March Free Agency.

If the Pats go to the SB, I won't be hard.

Which Street ? Abbott ? I hear those guys are real toughies.

Andre Ware says hi.

You mean he'll be extra bitchy 1 week every month ?

Straight Trade For Urlacher ? I hadn't even considered that ! He's on the block ?

Manning can battle Vince Young to be our starting QB.

The NFL is going soft.

Major Applewhite, is that you ?

You can soon throw Bill Cowher in that group. An excellent coach in the regular season who almost always gets them there. In their last 8 playoff years, they are 8-0 in their first playoff game, 1-7 in the 2nd game. He's been to 1 SB but I don't know if they'll ever be back under Cowher. I've lost count how many times they've been favored and lost in the post season. That works in College but rarely in the Pros do fans say " Horray, we're #6 ! " and are satisfied with that, year in and year out.

Sounds like Cinci is Bledsoes' next stop.

You'd like my draft thoughts in the college forum. The passing and trick plays Mularkey loves can only work if you make the opposition respect the run first, as Darin and others emphasized in another thread regarding the Steelers success with such calls. Nobody bites on the play action when you can't run the ball with consistency. Granted, Mularkey is handcuffed with the OL and TE talent he currently has. His past in Pittsburgh seems to indicate that when he had a healthy Bettis, he would indeed run. Getting a OC who shows this philosophy in his resume would do wonders to calm the masses. Wyche thinks like that but may have too many health concerns to accept the job. Time will tell.

Marv was a ST's coach who hired a good ST's coach. Ted Marchibroda ran the Offense. Corey/Wade ran the D. Marv organized the team and worked the refs on Sunday. He was neither an O or D specialist. Mularkey is here because his salary is on par with most Asst. coaches. In other words, a bargain. He should delegate like Marv and burn his playbook. I hate it.

Sharp thinking.

Everett is anyones guess but the other 3 on our roster make Zero impact. Look how most good Offenses have a very productive TE. Losman would benefit greatly. My ideas did cover the OL and DL, BTW.

I like Williams a lot and would NEVER trade down if he was sitting there at #8. I'm thinking Kiwanuka may or may not be worth pick #8, much like Ngata. I just wonder about Kiwanukas' size in reference to holding up against the run. Still love his pass rushing effort. I have no such reservations with Williams, who has that Peppers build to him, if not bigger.
