Good news, we've said it literally 1000 times now.

We should have been building the OL regardless if the Chiefs did it or not. That's the whole point. I dont need the Chiefs to tell me to build the OL. By "copying what the Chiefs do" we let them draft Creed Humphrey first because we were busy "copying" them by building our Pass Rush which they did 2 years prior. As long as we stay in "copy the Chiefs" mode, we will always be 1-2 years behind them.

Would teams not be trying to do that if the Chiefs didn't exist?

It's true, as evidenced by the million comments and threads already discussing that. This was a thread on Team Building Philosophy that has now been bastardized into yet another Coaching/OL thread.

Who do the Chiefs try to copy then?

OL and Coaching you say? Groundbreaking offseason comment.

I prefer the term "toxic"

Bills' Josh Allen gives props to Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes: 'You gotta find ways to be like them' https://www.nfl.com/news/bills-josh-allen-gives-props-to-chiefs-mahomes-it-s-a-copycat-league-you-gotta-f I've heard this before from Beane and McDermott (and probably others) and now from Allen. We need to be like KC. We need to build the team to beat KC... WRONG Because I guarantee you that KC isnt trying to be like anyone else. They're simply trying to be the best team in the NFL regardless of what anyone else is doing. THAT is what McBeane and Co. should be doing. Stop peeking over the fence and trying to copy another team and just go build the best team in the entire NFL. Go be that team that everyone wants to copy. Because by the time you see what they are doing, make the moves to copy them, and bring it to fruition... they are already 2 more steps ahead that you can't copy. This is such a 2nd place mentality it makes me sick.

So to recap... we need Better Coaching and Better OL. Groundbreaking thread.

Time to get off the skid tonight! Hopefully I can stay up late enough to watch. Two road games against the teams with the worst Home records in the league! Lets Go!

This is why I have Miami as my #2 option for where Lamar Jackson lands (after Atlanta). I can see Ross throwing a couple of 1sts at Baltimore to bring the Florida kid home.

We have Cook and Hines. And are already set to pay Hines a hefty salary for RB/KR. The RB FA market shouldnt be too crazy expensive. There are a lot of good RBs hitting the market, and we know the position value is already low. I also think Singletary wants to stay in Buffalo. Either bring Singletary back cheap, or roll with Cook/Hines. Or maybe Cook/Hines and a late round pick if we must. It mattered more, and the "experts" were more accurate, back when we were picking in the top 10 most of the time. This far back in the draft, it's a total crap shoot.

I'd be just as surprised if Rex chose to leave his cushy ESPN gig for the grind of Assistant Coaching again. I'm assuming the interview/meeting with Payton was to help get Payton on track of what he is looking for in a DC.

The release isnt much news as everyone knew it was coming. The news will be where he lands. I still think Seattle is an option (and likely the best fit for both sides), even with the success they've had with Geno. It does sound like Saints are most likely tho.

Not sure I would risk my future on Kyler Murray, but I get what you are saying. IMO, Baltimore would be the ideal landing spot for Bienemy. If I'm the Ravens, I try to hire Bienemy and then tell Lamar "Ok, we are going to franchise tag you this year. Come back and play under the tag for 1 year and see what the Offense looks like with Bienemy instead of Roman. And no matter what happens we will NOT tag you again." So he Jackson either proves he can flourish under a "real" offense and deserves the fully guaranteed $270-300M contract. Or puts up a stinker of a year and Baltimore moves on. And Jackson gets to hit the FA market and still end up well paid.

So pissed the XFL got rid of my Tampa Bay Vipers. Now I have no team to cheer for.

I see it the exact opposite. If it were just off-field stuff from decades ago, the NFL would promote him already. The NFL doesnt care about the kind of stuff Bieniemy was accused of. I think it ALL comes down to 1. Not being the play-caller, and 2. Being a bad interview.

He needs to call plays on his own before he can move up to HC. So that is why he wants to leave for a lateral move and be OC again. Reid calls all the plays, and will continue to design, run, architect, and conduct the offense. So that is why the Chiefs dont care if Bieniemy moves on.

I feel like "no sacks" was more on both QBs being very mobile and good at escaping pressure than on the OLs. I saw plenty of times the QBs were scrambling and being moved around and out of the pocket. Mahomes wasn't comfortable in a clean pocket from what I saw. That being said, yes, both teams have better OLs than the Bills and we need to address it. Still chaps my ass every time I see Creed getting fired up and making plays for the Chiefs.

Been saying Atlanta and Miami are the front runners since last year. My money is on Atlanta.

Dont forget there is an Edmunds on the Steelers too! (And we could probably use him at Safety)

I'll speak for myself, Shaq, and Jordan Phillips when I say.... "BYE B!TCH!" https://www.tennesseetitans.com/news/from-the-super-bowl-titans-lt-taylor-lewan-facing-an-internal-battle-on-whether-

This is old, old news.

Score points. Hold the other teams to less points than we score. Do that like 20 times.

Not at all my dude! I only pointed it out because we're usually in agreement on things.
