  1. More likely that Beane gets a vet like Za’Darius Smith for a pick. Can’t possibly see him trading Groot
  2. What you’re neglecting is the college to NFL pipeline for assistant coaches. As bad as the NFL is on this issue the college ranks are equally horrendous (12 out of 130 programs IIRC). This is particularly important as a substantial portion of offensive coordinators and QB coaches get their start in the college ranks. By contrast there seems to be a disparity where minority coaches who are former nfl players have a higher percentage of representation on the defensive side of the ball. Now, it would be reasonable to assume that this is due to a historical lack of black QBs for the majority of the NFLs history…. But it’s also reasonable to speculate on those QBs seeing a lack of coaching opportunities in the college ranks, especially if they didn’t play ball in a power five conference a la Sean McVay, Matt LaFleur, etc.
  3. He owns several houses in Wisconsin. He sold one of his California homes. Guy invests in real estate, and has a tendency to buy houses instead of rent them.
  4. Gill Byrd and Robiski as well as a few entry level coaches. I think McD subscribes to the same philosophy as Reid who came from the Holmgren tree…. Let those guys spread their wings as stunting a career could breed resentment or poor performance. It’s about having the right mix of people who are all in. He’s eluded to that in pressers before, and if anything McD has shown a level of consistency and professionalism.
  5. McD has let a few other assistant coaches take promotions elsewhere. I doubt he’d block guys unless it he either didn’t see an available upgrade or Daboll was basically raiding the staff. In any case, Bennett would be a nice addition to the staff if he’s stuck floating after the Raiders hired McDaniels.
  6. He was fired by McCarthy as a scapegoat along with Van Pelt and Dom Capers. He wasn’t bad, but it’s really difficult to figure out how much blame Bennett deserved. The guy was beloved by his players though, so that says something. I’m not sure how I’d feel about Bennett as an OC as McCarthy did most of the playcalling during his OC tenure, but if they’re bringing him in as an experienced assistant I’m all for it. We have no clue who Daboll may take with him to NYG. Bennett is possibly the best available WR coach available and his track record there speaks for itself; Nelson, Cobb, James Jones, Davante Adams, etc. He’s also a Holmgren/Reid guy who probably speaks McD’s language.
  7. Watch this become the most well funded childrens hospital in the country.
  8. Facts. We have one sub 4.5 CB (Tre White), and he was missing in that game. Expecting a 4.5 Jackson and a 4.6 Wallace to keep up with KC’s speed at WR was a massive oversight. This team needs to add physical talent to the secondary if they expect to compete with top contenders.
  9. Instead of Mack, I’d actually put my money on Za’Darius Smith or Preston Smith getting moved out of GB if Rodgers leaves. The former Smith would give them a cap savings of over $15 million if moved.
  10. And he’s not one of the bigger (6’3”+ and 260 lbs) 3-4 OLBs like Judon or Za’Darius Smith who can be effective with their hand in the dirt.
  11. Considering Washington and Babich’s track records I’m inclined to think it’s talent evaluation. For example, Edmunds doesn’t really have much of a coaching excuse when he has Urlacher and Lance Briggs’ LBer coach. I suppose those coaches could be a bit complacent at this point in their careers though. 🤷‍♂️.
  12. “Opportunity to possess”…. Which is where my curiosity stems from. A kickoff that enters the field of play as a live ball should probably considered an opportunity to possess said live ball.
  13. I quoted a section of the league’s overtime rule, but I have no clue if that would count as an “opportunity to possess” or not. There’s certainly a possibility that the refs might not know on the spot either.
  14. Out of curiosity, if a team recovers an onside kick to start overtime, could they have a walkoff win with a field goal since the opposing team had “the opportunity to possess” the ball?
  15. If you want one of those Valdez-Scantling might end up on the market for less than what Sanders was making. 🤷‍♂️ Its gonna be interesting to see how Beane approaches the draft and FA.
  16. Wright meant to say second best QB until Tyreek Hill or Kelce aren’t top talents or can’t be afforded.
  17. Please elaborate? Those of use who aren’t into blowing lines are curious about your viewpoint.
  18. If you want the NFL to change their modus operandi don’t watch the rest of the season. If they lose a total market share of WNY & Ontario/Toronto the league will view things differently…. Any wishy wash plays will go in favor of Blo if they lose millions of viewers….. get drunk, but ***** the SB and championship games. The season is over and anything until the next season starts does not matter to us.
  19. Squib it and we may not be having this conversation……
