NFL (since 2016)

Post crystal falace »

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

You had a look at the two main candidates to go at 1? Who do you want? And what's the situation with Kafka being given the assistant head coach role instead of just OC, is Daboll ready to be binned?

Miike. I’ve said Ward all season. But I’m happy with either. As for the coaching side. If they bin Daboll. It’s best too clear house. Getting Jones to drag us into the playoffs. And winning coach of the year. Put a hugh target on his back. And we have gone backwards on the field. Schoen certainly ain’t without blame. But his picks last spring have been solid. And the mess he has untangled us from. Is only now being aspirated. And he still hasn’t yet picked a QB. Hopefully the worse is over.?

Just caught up in the highlights of Washington/Eagles.

Superb stuff from Daniels, again. Mad game, that.
 
 
SB, he's doing this historic shit with a pretty ordinary (bar terry mclaurin) group of weapons. one name to keep an eye on as another potential superstar, 17 year old bryce underwood who's just committed to michigan, after switching from LSU (clearly for money). he looks special

Raiders seemed to forget they were tanking this weekend, and ballsed up their draft hopes. Had to laugh.

Must say, though: unless there’s an absolute nailed on star QB sitting at #1 in the draft - like Elway, or Manning - I don’t quite see the point in tanking.

Too many #1 draft picks have failed, expensively, for it to be worthwhile. Especially at sides that can’t coach (like the Browns or Jets!). Cam Ward and Shadeur Sanders both look good at this stage, but you just can’t tell can tell until they play in the NFL. In the 2018 draft, Josh Rosen was a top 10 pick: 22 places above Lamar Jackson.

There is often value in the mid-picks.

At home, i think you'll beat Green Bay. You should have battered them in the first match but allowed them to come back late and nearly blew it. My one doubt for you this year was keeping Jones (RB) fit, but he's there and will be extra motivated next week against them

Jets now just playing out time this season.

Rodgers was hopeless again against the Rams and got hurt again.

He looks 40. Going on 50. It’s time to cut him in January - and for him to end his otherwise-superb career. Playing in front of that line, which can’t block, as a 40-year-old is just asking for trouble.

After the Woody-Douglas-Saleh-Hackett-Rodgers empire built on sand, it’s time to rip it all up and start again.

That was a fantastic game and some ride.
Jayden Daniels is the real thing.
Cowboys and 49ers gone from the play-offs already.

So, I think they have to know off the bat who the GM, HC, OC will be.

See the three of them as a joint brains trust.

They went all in on Saleh, but without thinking through the rest of it. That ended with Rodgers (not Saleh’s choice) picking his own OC (not Saleh’s choice). That did not help an inexperienced head coach.

Vrabel wouldn’t be the worst appointment for us. Could think of worse, given who’s likely to be available at the end of the season.

But of the two, I’d probably opt for Aaron Glenn. He’s got the Jets in his veins and some fire.

With either man (both defensive specialists), the GM and OC will be crucial. I think the HC job needs to seen as part of a bigger coaching/drafting group. That was the problem with Saleh: he was an excellent DC, but (in fairness to him) they just appointed him as HC and left him to his own devices. Didn’t really join up his team - it was all a bit disjointed.

Hey TM,

Yeah, I’m hearing this one quite a bit. The two most commonly linked names are him and Aaron Glenn.

Vrabel certainly started well at Tennessee, before falling away. If he gets the job, the appointment of GM and OC will be become really important.

Spot on - I think the recoveries shown by Washington and Detroit show that you can change bad cultures from top to bottom and then thrive. Although the least said about the Browns the better..!
