The assistant s&c puts down the cones and the s&c assistant picks them up. Looks like they plan on using a lot of cones.

But for example, Big Ben started on the bench until the starter got hurt early in the year. I think there is a responsibility to your team and the year long effort they make (and you as a coach expect them to give) to start the guy that gives the team the best chance to win.

I thought we had decided as a fan base that the KC model was the best - build a team to make the playoffs then start dropping draft picks on possible franchise qb's because chances are you're not going to get a surefire franchise guy unless you get lucky with a high enough pick in a deep enough class. We have our alex smith and need to put together a team around him so the development of a franchise qb will be smooth. That way the pressure of winning is not on a developing qb's shoulders and hopefully that guy will be able to actually develop in the same system. Of course we need organizational stability to have that happen, so good luck to us.

Could make practice squad as guard

So why not announce the decision earlier? Did something change with the medicals in the last few weeks? Don't think it really changed how other teams would view their draft, but maybe. Seems more related to a disagreement in the building with one side talking about potential if healthy and the other talking about "Samantha".

True, but I was surprised Yates was brought in. I think there is a difference between being in a room learning and actually running the offense and learning from game film.

So let's follow kc's lead, build a team that gets to the playoffs with a decent veteran qb then blow picks on possible franchise qb's. We can start with keeping the same coaching staff for more than two years. IF Rex was still here I think the chances of taking a qb high in this draft would have been greater. Instead we have self inflicted holes again, just like we will next year when darby or Ragland or whoever doesn't get it done under these coaches. The point of building a team before developing a franchise qb is taking the pressure off the kid so he can, you know, develop. TT and Cardale are going to take a step back this year with the new system. And Cardale might not be the right guy now for Dennison and McDermott so we may need to get another guy using up more resources. In the end I would rather "tank" with a crappy coach for an additional year to add talent than constantly changing schemes and having to cut players because they don't fit. For me, that is why we always pick db's and rb's and don't have any depth.

In Pittsburgh input is taken from the coaches, Colbert has said that many times. You get guys to fit the scheme, especially defensively. So since we've flushed coaches again McDermott has assessed the roster, dumped a couple guys and will move forward with the guys he thinks he can win with for this year. Next year there will be another batch of guys that get dumped because they didn't perform the way the coach thought they could. So we are dumping draft picks and it happens every time we change coaches. So if you want to take chances on qb's and you want comp picks, pray for a coach to survive for four years or that we happen to decide on a new coach who's philosophy lines up with the talent at hand.

Don't know if you saw this or not. I thought this happened in Pittsburgh but I didn't look long enough to find out where it happened. http://boston.cbslocal.com/2017/03/21/new-boston-treatment-relieves-pain-without-surgery-brigham-womens-hospital/

You can hit the report button next to the multiquote/quote button and put a word in there to help the mods understand your concerns. It goes directly to them and allows them to focus in on the issue without having to sift through a lot of posts. The same thing can be said for anyone crusading etc that is against the terms of service.

I look at what wvu did to him and I think that's what defense he'll get in the nfl until he shows he can move a team consistently in the pocket. Especially the first half tape made it look like he would have problems running an nfl offense and I don't think his escape ability will be as helpful in the nfl as it was in college. He could learn to make plays from the pocket instead of on the run but I personally don't think that warrants the #10 pick.

Not to be a cork or anything, but I'm going to throw owner on that heap too.

I've seen enough, thanks for trolling.

I just don't see how Mahomes is going to be able to consistently throw from the pocket. Seems like he really thrives on getting out of the pocket and letting it rip, which he does very well. I don't see that translating to the nfl real well.

Just get them out of the house asap, it's too late for you.

They mentioned on nfl network that mayock would re-order the qbs as necessary after all their pro days were complete.

I don't think he changes our draft plans, just a nice combination of Hunter and Easley.

Get his phone before he destroys it!

That's a rule to live by. If you get a hangover drinking a particular brand or type, find something similar that will not give you a headache.

Uhhh coaching change.

Now add a third round pick and call it a position group.

Lots of new fish in the sea.

He's trying to get EJ a job?

The dust has settled guys are just looking for a job, they'll be plenty of them around.

Yes, i would rather bring in talented guys instead of letting them go and if the coaching sucks we would have more talent via higher draft picks to bring to another coach. So instead here we are again in between defenses hoping or projecting how guys can play in the new defense. And in two to three years we'll be in the same boat paddling up the same creek. Coaches and qbs don't happen by accident. Cleveland had BB and let him go. Chances are we would have too. How can anyone succeed in this environment? Cardale jones takes a step back this year because he has to learn another offense or worse yet he isn't the right type of qb to develop for this offense. That's ok, we'll just draft another qb or two this year and really give McDermott someone to work miracles with.
