Tyrod - 5th Cordy - 2nd Hughes - 3rd Shaq - 4th I think these are their peak values. Tyrod is probably not tradeable, Cordy is coming of an injury. Hughes did nothing this year and Shaq has done nothing in his career. Glenn is our best trade asset in my opinion. Duane Brown was traded with a 5th for a 2nd and a future 3rd. Brown is older than Cordy but also better probably.

Chudzinski?

Ok thanks!

Probably getting Gus Bradley back so letting Richard go with some dignity.

OC Rob Chudzinski QBs Ken Dorsey (FYI when Dorsey was at Miami setting a million records his OC was Rob Chudzinski and was a scout for Carolina during McDermott and Chudz crossover there) QB Josh Rosen or Sam Darnold...I think we find a way to trade up for one of the two.

Yep I'm with you guys. i think we were great in the redzone because of the scheme. Designing a red zone offense around Tyrod makes sense. Having him throw fades does not. I know I'm talking in circles, I guess the bottom line is that Dennison sucks and Tyrod can be good with a really strong run game and an offense that plays to his strengths. But he cannot be sucessful in the red zone in a more conventional WCO. I still want them both gone.

Dennison's play calling was putrid in the red zone pretty much all year. Tyrod also sucks in the red zone. You need to be able to throw balls in tight windows that get much tighter down inside the 20. You also need to be able to throw guys open with anticipation. He's terrible at both of those things. As much as Peterman sucked, he actually completed a great fade on the goaline in the snow. Tyrod can't make that throw. Did his play calling suck because he was limited by his quarterback? I hope we never find out because they both need to get kicked to the curb.

I think they definitely need to wait and see what happens in Indy in terms of who gets hired as a HC. If they go with a defensive guy, they may want to keep Chudzinski. If they go with an offensive guy, he may be let loose. If Chudzinski is let go I think he's probably the guy, with Bevell and McCoy as possibilities as well.

Hatley didn't stand out to me. He is tall and big, but isn't really a 1 technique tackle. Looked like he played rather high to me, but he did rotate a bit. I think he's more of a 3-4 defensive end with his build, but hes not a bad Swiss army knife guy for depth. He could play the 1, 3, or heavy defensive end in the under alignment.

I love it. The problem is that Tyrod doesn't throw slants.

I don't think there is any way this regime considers him. Good player though.

Not sure he really blitzed more. I think great coverage by linebackers helped those guys get to the quarterback. I also think dominate tackles helped to bring pressure up the middle. I'd probably go after Kony Ealy and draft a guy like Sam Hubbard.

I mentioned this in another thread but my target is Donte Moncrief (hopefully coming with Rob Chudzinski). He is fast, big, and a play maker. I believe we have an elite guy in KB and Moncrief is probably the perfect #2. He had a down year, so he should be cheap, but I think he has tremendous potential. He's also an outside reciever so you can play Zay Jones in the slot.

I will take a second to connect some dots. Bevell was originally hired by Mike Sherman who is a Mike Holmgren guy and coached with Andy Reid in Green Bay. When Mike Sherman got hired by Green Bay he brought Bevell on staff. During this time Brad Childress was Andy Reid's offensive coordinator in Philly. When the Vikings hired Childress, he hired Bevell. When Childress was let go and Leslie Frazier was made head coach, Frazier let Bevell go and he went to Seattle. So there are some connections there as McDermott and Bevell are part of the same coaching tree . It was 2015 before we hired Rex Ryan.

Frazier basically fired him when he went from interim head coach to head coach. But who knows? Frazier replaced him with Bill Musgrave and Bevell wound up in Seattle. But Frazier doesn't make the decisions, and one would assume he regrets that decision. I'd be all for a Bevell hire.

I think we are in a tough spot. We currently run a WCO, so guys like Keenum, Bridgewater and Falk and Rudolph in the draft should, in theory, be great fits for our offense. WCO doesn't require a super strong arm, it requires accuracy, timing, and anticipation. With that said, we are still Buffalo and asking a guy like Keenum to throw the ball around in windy conditions might be asking too much. That is why we haven't been able to find the "guy" for so long. You need a big guy, with big hands, with timing and anticipation, and accuracy to be successful in Buffalo. Those guys don't grow on trees. Keenum sounds great on paper, yet I do not think he is a great fit for Buffalo. That is kind of why I feel its Alex Smith...while he doesnt have the strongest arm he has been playing in similar conditions for years and his arm is strong enough. He has great size, accuracy, and is very durable. Smith is the perfect bridge. Kirk Cousins makes sense, but he wouldn't be a bridge, he'd be "the" guy. Being 30 years old, I'm not sure he solves the long term issue at QB. It would be like acquiring the 30 year old Drew Bledsoe again. In the draft I feel like you are limited to Rosen or Darnold. Allen if you feel you can get him to be more accurate. In my opinion, most of the other guys are too small, or simply do not have the physical ability.

Sign Chudzinski and bring Donte Moncreif with him. Perfect #2 to KB then you can stick Zay in the slot where he belongs.

Rosen and Darnold I think can be true franchise quarterbacks, obviously it's a crapshoot, but either would be the best QB prospect we've had really since Jim Kelly. We need a real top blue chip prospect, not a Losman type 4th best QB in the draft. Think I'd only trade up for one of them. If I can't get there I just sit and see how the draft plays out. I do think the Giants might consider it. Two picks in the 20s allows them to draft what they really need which is offensive line. Maybe they'd want Cordy Glenn too.

The whole offensive staff probably needs to go. Dennison had never called plays before is old and sucks. Castillo has done a crappy job wherever he's been. Culley is a WR coach coaching quarterbacks. Too early to tell on McGeoghan, but we got little out of our wideouts plus I blame him for getting us Zay Jones instead of JuJu, Cooper Kupp, even Chris Godwin. I like the job Rob Boras has done with tight ends, specifically with the development of Nick O'Leary. Kelly Skipper is whatever. I don't think Shady needs a coach, but it's too early to tell if he can develop a young guy because we don't have one. Just really underwhelemed with this offensive staff overall.

Seemed to have some chemistry with Peterman a bit. KB had no connection whatsover with Tyrod. No chemistry at all. I like his size and such but it's a huge waste if you aren't going to throw him the ball.

Norv Turner paired with Cam seems like terrible idea

I will say that Tyler Bray is one of those guys who never got a shot but has a lot of talent. He isn't your typical third string QB and Reid has kind of been hoarding him for awhile. I actually really liked him in the EJ Manuel draft. He's had injuries and things, but he was one of the most talented players in that draft. He want undrafted because he was a jerk. But he's been in the league for awhile so one would assume he's matured. Now I feel that if you are bringing him in to be the starter I would say no way! But he would be interesting depth. Who knows he could be the next Rich Gannon or Kurt Warner. He's still just 26 years old and the definition of "let's let this guy develop for awhile." I think you you still need to make a play forna guy like Alex Smith or something along those lines.

Great post. Great point on the unpredictability of the run game. I hope we get a coach in here who mixes things up in the run game and opens things up in the passing game. Dennison definitely needs to go. One of the things that I found interesting is how great the script was for opening offensive possessions. I think that shows that he is a good coach but a terrible play caller. Once the script was up it seemed like he had no idea what he was doing. I think you could keep him on as a senior offensive assistant and hire someone else. Chudzinski, Mike McCoy, Ken Dorsey, I'll take any of the three.

I am interested to see what happens. There are some serious flaws in some big spots. Obviously quarterback being the biggest issue. But they need to rebuild the offensive line, or adapt teh run game (can teh OC and line coach. ) They also need to rebuild the linebacking corps and the defensive line. Aside from Hughes and Williams, they were just bad. I like what I saw from Shaq Lawson, but he needs to take it up a notch. But if McDermott is going to rotate guys as much as he did, the backups cannot be Hatley and Cap Capi.

I think Castillo takes some blame because it's his job to make sure the line improves technique, and that just didn't happen. I think the problem is the personnel fitting the scheme. The problem with a guy like Tyrod is that they are asking him to do things he simply can't do. The problem with our line is that they were built for a power running scheme and they are just too slow and unathletic to make the zone scheme work. Again, we are asking them to do things they simply cannot do. Aside from Dion Dawkins, none of these guys fit the scheme. Go watch the Atlanta Falcons play and see how fast their lineman move in space. Guys like Jake Matthews, Alex Mack, and Andy Levitre (though he is on IR right now). That is the type of lineman you want, not these big slow plodders. Watch them run zone plays and understand that is what our run game is supposed to look like. When Abry Jones (I think it was him or Marcell) split the double team between Incognito and Wood you could see the flaws in their abilities...slow with zero flexibility and bad feet.
