And so it begins...

 

 

i have mixed feelings about this. I hope he stays.  

 

 

honestly, I don't think teams should be allowed to even put requests in on playoffs teams until after the Superbowl. Period, too distracting

I would hate to see him go to Houston but if I was trying to pick a head coaching job, Houston might be one of the top openings.  

 

Granted there is a lot of work to do there, but that's true in pretty much any place that is hiring a new HC.  But Houston has Watson.  Give Watson a decent OL and a decent defense and they will probably be back to winning double digit games.  

 

And honestly I would trade away JJ Watt if the owner would let me.  He's a great guy but he'd declining.  Not worth what they are paying him.  And honestly they could probably find a team that would be dumb enough to give up a 1st or a 2nd for him.

They would have to change the rules pretty significantly.  Because as it stands most teams are ready to announce their new head coach the moment that coach's old team gets eliminated from the playoffs.

I figured at some point the Texans would want to switch to a 4-3 and go with speedy players on that Turf. As far as the Colts are concerned as long as Ballard is here you will likely to the Tampa 2. He likes that scheme on indoor turf.

I don't know much about his head coaching qualities,  but I heard today our pass defense is ranked #20. 

I personally not crazy about soft coverage scheme,  along with that ranking in a passing league is not screaming out to me "we need to hire this man". 

Again, people in the biz probably see the man and his qualities that we don't. 

Good luck to him.

That Jags drive before 2nd half wass alarming. Basically gave them 7. This team needs a #1 corner and i dont want a 2nd 3rd round zone corner. Sin looks like a wasted pick

I'll be shocked if he gets a HC job.  He does not come across as head coaching material and his defenses aren't good enough to where someone might hire him just based on Xs and Os.  

Yeah, I always hate the head coaching crap. Tell me why Eberflus is a head coaching candidate? I would b more interested in the DC from thr Giants. They dont have a lot of talent but man they play hard every week. That tells me a lot.

Ya Sin is a bust imo. He has some awesome plays, but he also has twice as many horrible plays

Also Panthers put in a request to interview Ed Dodds for their GM position, hopefully we don't lose him. I think he would be a bigger loss than Eberflus 

Agree with with.  He seems like he will be a good pickup at some point for a team that wants to build a good team culture.  That being said i think he will be very picky about what GM gig he wants to take.  A lot of these guys have one chance to make a good name for themselves at GM and if the don't they rarely get a second chance (think Grigson is taking coffee orders in Cleveland right now).

That would be a weird fit. They actually do need a offensive coach with a young QB. 

 

Dungy was a defensive coach, as was Pagano, as is Belichick. I don't think it matters that much.

I fear for him if he goes to Houston. Sure they've got a QB but not much else. With the Jets, I think the GM (Joe Douglas) is pretty smart and Flus might do well but the most important position is a question mark still.

Now, the Chargers? That would be an absolute hit. I think he'd crush it there.

    • I just cant understand taking D line over a CB this year.  WR or Bowers would make sense to me   If the team doesnt value corners this way then maybe they should start.  I dont like to pigeon hole what we draft this hard but our secondary is a bunch of nobodies and our Dline is ok, better than ok actually.  We dont even have many snaps for a rookie unless they are a really good edge right out of the gate. A rookie DT from this class isnt beating Buckner or Stewart.
    • We see many coverage failures by all teams caused by miscommunication.  Certainly there are exceptional individuals that play CB but experience and intelligence are vital.  Flowers had size and 4.3's speed, and Jones was decent. Juju has potential but because of his size and speed he will always be successfully targeted.   We are desperate for a 4.3's stud that can cover anytime, anywhere. That was Rodgers BTW. 
    • Isaiah Land he says.     Every year it happens. The Dallas Cowboys make some tough roster cuts and we all wait nervously to see if our favorite prospects make it cleanly through waivers. Most do, but every once in a while, a team will scoop up that one guy we were hoping made it to the practice squad. This year, that player is edge rusher Isaiah Land. An undrafted free agent from Florida A&M, Land dealt with injuries his final year in college, but had a remarkable season in 2021 when he finished with 19 sacks, 25.5 tackles for a loss, and three fumble recoveries. While there is a lot to be uncovered with him, he still flashed enough to draw interest from the Cowboys. Throughout the summer, the young edge rusher had impressed and it looked like the team had found another diamond in the rough. Land was fantastic during the preseason. In three games, he finished with 10 total pressures, which was the second-most of any player on any NFL team this preseason. He also finished with seven hurries on 45 pass-rushing snaps. He only recorded one official sack but finished with a pass rush win rate of 20%. Not only that, he had opposing tackles so worried about his get-off that they were regularly jumping early. There were several instances when tackles would get called for a false start.    Might as well be optimistic about  Woods and Land contributing to our resurrection. 
    • Nice catch Stitch.  Year two of Steichen, our very functional TE group and Downs gives me very high expectations that we will be highly effective attacking the middle of the field. If we do add another WR to help complement the other side of the field, Pittman's ability to be even more outstanding only goes up. And I feel confident another guy will be added. Our offense should be very strong for 2024.
    • I'm hopeful Colts resign Blackmon and do this in the draft
