If they end up with a top-10 pick, I could see Johnson pushing to move on from Caleb as early as next year. Especially if they bring in a new GM. Then Caleb isnt tied to either of them, and neither of them will want their HC/GM careers tied to a QB they didnt even pick.

Yeah, it's the coach that has been there for all of 9 months

JFC...

Yeah, the league effed him bigly And Im ok with that

It comes with the position. LBs get hurt a lot. They're basically in a laundry machine with boulders when those big Guards can come hit them with a head of steam. Zach Thomas, for example, was always injured. You'd think he'd be a bit luckier, but I'm never surprised when I hear about an injured LB.

Agreed. He had a decent run stop but seemed like a liability in coverage which had previously been a strength of his. On the busted coverage play to the Jets TE, Milano ran into our own guy and took him out of coverage. Not sure we're really losing much here at this point. Either way, 5 cupcakes until KC. Let him rest.

This is what happened: https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-added-sentence-rulebook-curb-160313266.html In 2024, the NFL clarified its rules on "cheat motion," a tactical pre-snap movement popularized by Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel and other Shanahan-tree coaches The new rulebook language specifies that a backfield player in motion cannot legally move forward at the snap to gain momentum, explicitly defining and restricting a tactic that was previously in a grey area. The clarified "cheat motion" rule The new language was added to Rule 7, Section 4, Article 2 of the official rulebook to state: "Any eligible backfield player who changes his stance does not have to come to a complete stop prior to the snap, as long as his actions are not abrupt (false start) or forward (illegal motion)"

Pretty sure both Grier and McDaniel will be fired after a loss to the Bills this Thursday. Good time for Ross to do it with the longer week for the interims to settle in. From there, any dummy can make the call to trade Hill away for a bag of footballs. Chiefs will probably take any firepower at this point.

Dean Blandino on the broadcast...

Quite a take, and I wont roast you. But I will say, I'd rather bring back Daboll as OC than bring in McDaniel. I think after they banned his cheating double-motion thing, his scheme is donzo regardless where he is. He'd probably do best going back to SF where Shanahan can help fill in the gaps and develop him to the next level now that his one trick doesnt work anymore.

I was cracking up at all the "Mike McD-OVER" jokes

I have a hard time enjoying it while seeing the Eagles allowed to false start on every Tush Push. The NFL better get this addressed before we play them. And better not wait until after the Eagles beat us in the playoffs (Super Bowl) to fix it like they've historically done.

LOTS of Andrew Luck comparisons being thrown around on various platforms today. The problem for Joe is, he's only in year 1 of that new, big money contract. So he cant walk away anytime soon without having to give back some signing bonus/guaranteed money. And you KNOW Mike Brown is coming after every penny he can get back.

Is it worth it to do what we did to the Pats last year and just let them win in order to screw them? Let's face it, the division is still ours.
