    Potential defensive coordinators - my suggestions

    I disagree, there is a big difference WRT the player body types (traits and measurables) and skills...yes, you can line up in any shell, 34, 43, nickel, dime, etc, but at the end of the day, your base defense requires different types of players. A 5 technique DE in a 34 (single or double gap...

    Potential defensive coordinators - my suggestions

    That is a solid list...the question that needs to be asked is "what scheme?" That group is 50/50 34 vs 43...If we are willing to move on to a 43, the investment in player "types" needs to reflect that...

    OT QB Dwayne Haskins will enter draft

    The trade back is a good option as well, I would be hesitant to do it unless it was a slam dunk...I think (IMHO) we need quality numbers.

    Kliff Kingsbury Interview Today

    Jeff Fisher hasn't been a DC since 1994, with the Houston Oilers...I think we can do better finding a mentor/experienced DC.

    OT QB Dwayne Haskins will enter draft

    That is the million dollar question...Is Bosa their guy? How concerned are they with his injuries? How concerned are they with his family (remember Joey had a pretty lengthy hold out due to contractual language...) if the answer is NO...(and I know there is a chart that gives "values" for picks)...

    OT QB Dwayne Haskins will enter draft

    I think the candidates to trade up for Haskins are the Jags and the Broncos...The questions are: do they view Haskins a sure thing and how high are they willing to jump up to prevent a competitor from sliding in ala the Chiefs with Mahomes (crossthread)...

    Kliff Kingsbury Interview Today

    I missed the tweets where BA was taken to task for unretiring (especially after saying the Browns would be the only job he would do it for)...These things happen, we have no idea what was discussed at USC WRT future, non-lateral job opportunities...and any reasonable person in any field would...

    Card coaching search rumors and speculation

    Amen...Nothing like driving the ball inside the 22, pounding away for a few phases only to have the back line call for the ball and promptly knock it on!

    Card coaching search rumors and speculation

    I finally hung up the boots last year (26 years) when I returned from Japan, but like you, my oldest is carrying on the tradition! I should have picked up on the 13, I made the old guy drift from 12-13 (occasional 15) to 6-7 about 10 years ago... I still miss the back line! Or as the meme...

    Card coaching search rumors and speculation

    The same Marty Mornhinweg who elected to go on DEFENSE during a sudden death (old system, first team to score FG or TD) overtime coin flip...and promptly loses

    Awesome! Glad to have a little premiership friendly rivalry!

    How do we build our offensive line?

    Colts have been collecting young, aggressive lineman and they play in a system that suits their strengths.

    How do we build our offensive line?

    It is usually for a 1st rounder who slipped into the second with a rival about to pick in close proximity! If we play our cards right, this could be a great offseason for us! Also look at a team like the Bears, after years of futility, you see how quickly they turned it around with the right...

    15 thoughts - Raiders game

    I love it when the defending team has 3 timeouts, ices the kicker twice and lets him kick out of rhythm on the expected 3rd...

    How do we build our offensive line?

    Also trading down in the second round might get us another 2nd or early 3rd...I think that is a great range to find a solid OL. We need solid picks across the board, no Chad Williams, (Picture SK, "look at me...I am the smart guy, finding talent at small schools wizard"), high risk-high reward...

    I think Williams was derailed with "bounty-gate" scandal

    Freddie Kitchens

    Kitchens has put in the work, cannot replace experience...I think if you follow Pederson and Nagy (and the like) you will see the common theme is that they were long time assistants vice lightning in a bottle type.

    GC, should have known that, I am the world's worst flanker (loose forward in general) and should have recognized that is who you meant!

    Awesome Ron, looking good rocking the All Blacks kit!

    Freddie Kitchens

    I hope we interview both of them...I have ZERO issues with Williams baggage...My only concern is he has been a 4-3 coach, but he has shown the ability to adjust to his talent level...
