Yeah, coaches are for the birds! We should just keep iPads on the sidelines and have them Google how to do things!

Whatever.

Does anyone know if were gonna run power or zone with this coach

That’s going to be up to Daboll, right? Probably some of both.

My biggest issue with this hire, is the TE coach for so long.  If all that experience was with the O line, I would be fine. 

 

I really think these hires tell us how other NFL personnel feel about McBeane's job security outside of Buffalo.

 

FA could get ugly.

 

Yeezus

Just hit the ignore button. I did it a while ago and it's made my time on here more enjoyable.

Your posts rot.

 

We won’t be reading his witty input for a while. Hoping he’ll learn from observing and be tolerable upon his return.

He had to have some input in Indy! At least we are getting a guy from the best online in the nfl this year opposed to hiring Juan Castillo’s assistant.

The best o-line? Is this a stat or conjecture? Either way they are done for the year. Hardly seems like they are the best.

Statistically he's right in that they gave up the fewest sacks. Best is a broader judgement. But if not the best, certainly they were one of the top lines

 

But equally to suggest because they are out the playoffs that is somehow a judgement on their O line seems a bit strange

Talent is one part, coaching is another. You still have to get the players to execute. Both of the remaining AFC teams have pretty solid offensive lines. I believe Eric Fisher is the only first round pick on either line.

....agree.....yet at the same time, I think McDermott is firm yet fair with players.....if a similar situation arose, I could see him stepping to the forefront compassionately and calling the shots.....

 

 

@OldTimeAFLGuy You do not have to image it.  Look at how they treated Shaq Lawson when his friend died this year.

 

Pegula plane to the south.  Take your time.  Here is the playbook for the week - study.  Provided full support of both team and needed resources.

 

Shaq came back and was able to play, staff and players worked to make sure he was ready.

 

It created a more family type atmosphere.

I see your point to a large degree. Guards are usually not drafted so early but then they are, they are often good picks. Reuben Brown, David De Castro, Nelson, Branden Albert, and Steve Hutchinson come immediately to mind.

 

Good coaching helps a lot, but our OL either stayed the same or  got worse with Mouse McNally if you recall. And, high quality blocking almost never comes in a trade (unless you are getting them from the Bills) and rarely comes from free agency. I am not saying that they all need to be top 10 picks but the draft IS the place to get good, solid blockers.

Indianapolis Colts have 3 free agent linemen, Matt Slauson G, J'Marcus Webb RT and Mark Glowinski G. Maybe we can sign a few?

 

Slauson is probably going to retire.  He only played a few games last year because he broke two vertebrae in his back.

Someone that didn't need to coach TE's for three years to stay in NFL.

 

Yeah because they are never involved in the blocking scheme ;)

 

I guess it  will take time...…..for you to become a quality poster ;)
