I'm meaning that Quincy was nowhere near that level of play this year
I made the comment a few times (towards the end of last season) that having Wilson on the field was very similar to having Vontae on the field a couple years back. He did not give up much.
Wilson is a baller. If he matures then he can be a special player.

Not really since the abbreviation is IUP so it is a common mistake if Indiana University Pennsylvania is not written out
the same way people get Indiana University and University of Illinois mixed up or Kansas and Kentucky mixed up
IU and IUP are VERY different.
There is no excuse for a journalist to make that mistake. It's very poor workmanship.
I am not even sure why you're sticking up for the writer.

Actually it is. They are 2 separate colleges with 2 completely different football teams, and they are in 2 completely different states. It is actually an error that is very difficult to make. It takes some heavy lack of comprehension to pull something like that off.

All I want to know is can the man call plays?
My hunch is, we are about to find out.

Easy mistake
Maybe for someone who has never heard of Indiana University in Pennsylvania.

That report is very wrong.
It says Nick Siranni worked for the Indiana Hoosiers. No he did not!
"Not to be overlooked, Sirianni has roots in the Hoosier state, having spent three seasons (2006-08) coaching wide receivers at Indiana University before making the leap to the NFL with the Chiefs."
He ACTUALLY worked at Indiana University in Pennsylvania.
Man, these writers aren't even trying to be right about anything.

I’ll give it a chance but there’s a lot of firsts going on here... first time HC, DC, OC, first time coaching Dline in the NFL, etc... the only guy who has experience in his position is the Oline guy who I’m hoping they replace because he hasn’t been stellar at any of his stops...
It kind of reminds me of how Bill Belichick built his empire in Cleveland. He brought a lot of younger (first timers) with great minds together, and it worked. Most of them are still working in the NFL today.

Anyone know?
If he had, how much better would this offense be?
Because he hoodwinked (Love that word Reggie!
) the Redskins on a deal of a lifetime.
We were too broke (cap-strapped) to pay him a fifth of what he got.

Vontae was a lockdown corner that year (I believe this is the year you're talking about)
I like Wilson but that year was special
I am quite aware of how well Vontae played 2 years ago. Which is why I made the statement to begin with.
-
To be honest, I think Quincy Wilson (towards the season) played as well as Vontae played 2 years ago.
Why go backwards now?
Wilson, Melvin, Hairston, a couple of free agent additions (along with a draft pick and a few UDFA's) should be good for us.
Assuming we bring Melvin back.... And Ballard wants to be the GM who keeps his own so Melvin returning is likely.

https://g.co/kgs/5JSVwU - Is this real, this guy had a 4.21 40 dash before he was drafted, Don Beebe?
Beebe was ultra fast. He showed off those burners on the Leon Lett “would be touchdown” Super Bowl play
-
He had a lot of issues setting the edge. I don’t think PFF takes those plays into account.

For what it is worth, the surprising stat for me was that the Chargers were 4th in the league in passing. So, Frank probably knew from his Chargers days the work of Nick Sirianni.
Yep. I am sure he has had this name in his back pocket for a while now. People who make impressions on you, well you remember them. and when you need someone, you call them up.
I think Nick Sirianni could be our guy.

Big thank you again to the Colts Front Office!

This could get interesting.
Looks like we could have the advantage, because Pat Shurmur wants to call his own plays, whereas Reich will probably delegate the responsibility to his OC.
A choice between calling your own plays or not calling them is not too difficult to make.
Therefore, if Bevell does sign a deal with the Giants then "it would appear" he did so because we passed on him.
I like that both Darrell Bevell and Frank Reich ran the West Coast offense. They already speak the same language.
Colts, Eagles, Giants, and Rams all have OC openings.
Frank Reich hiring by Colts could impact Giants

Reich wasn't even interviewed until Saturday.
Sounds like Reich started making contacts asking assistants if they'd like to join him IN Indianapolis IF he's offered the job. That way, in his interview, Reich can tell Ballard and Irsay that he has commitments from certain assistants to join him.
Smart move by Frank.
Yep. He showed up with answers.

calm down there are still some vet QBs to hit the market Cle and Den might have QBs already come april
Calm down? Who do you think you are? You don't talk to me like that.
Cleveland is more than likely not bringing in a veteran. They will likely hedge their bets on the young QB to make a long commitment with. Most likely it will be Darnold.
Denver could try to bring Cousins in, but it's no guarantee. Many teams will be fighting for his services. It is very had to say where he will end up at. I think Minnesota might be his best home, but anything can happen.

The writer was wrong because of lazy journalism.
