NFL (since 2016)

"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."

Location. Location. Location..!

But with all things in life. “When the money gets tight. The shit gets real.!”

GO G MEN.

Looks like Rob Saleh is going back to the 49ers for a second stint as DC.

If so, that’s a good move for him and the 49ers. He’s an excellent DC. The head coaching move just came too soon for him - he was very poor on offense.

He should ask to act as an effective assistant HC and attend some of the offensive meetings, while being hands-on as a DC. Because he needs to understand how to move the chains.

Good luck to him: a decent man who got promoted a little too soon.

True! Both the Jets and Giants charge plenty for seats. In 2023, the Jets came in $8 below the NFL average price ($120), while the Giants came in $6 above it.

Not sure anybody, but the owners, are getting value for money there! I should have been paid to watch Rob Saleh and Rex Ryan's offenses!

Raiders ($169) and 49ers ($161) charging silly money for tickets, milking the tourists.

Btw, Jets had the second-highest average attendance in the NFL last season - behind only Dallas. Despite the mad prices for seats.

Massive. Like West Ham. Despite the longest play-off drought in the league.

And that, in a nutshell, is why the incompetent Johnsons are in no hurry to sell up. They milk every dollar out of a passionate fan base.

Staggering that either NY team is up there TBH given how appalling they both have been for a good few years. Then again I guess if you have the second biggest capacity you're likely to get the second and third highest attendances

After the Patsies hired Vrabel, Aaron Glenn felt like a shoo-in at the Jets.

Could go either way. He’s a thoroughly decent man, and the fans love him after his Pro Bowl standard as a player in New York. He will throw himself into the job and it’ll be great to have a passionate Jet on the sidelines. I don’t mind “shit or bust” (Rex was like that early on), it’s the tepid coaches on the carousel I can’t abide.

But his Detroit defense was not an elite unit (it was good, though). So he’ll need to appoint high quality co-ordinators.

The GM hire could make or break the coaching situation. Newmark would make sense, TM: knows Glenn already and has a lot of experience.

And then they have to convince the Johnsons to back off team affairs.

It’ll all come down to the coaching details, of course. But I like Aaron Glenn’s mindset on defense.

Basically does not accept any player who isn’t showing maximum effort on the three key phases of any defensive play: initial burst, speed and finish. “If you’re not showing on those three, you’re a traitor and you can go play for someone else.”

Secondly, he openly wants to bring “violence” (his word) back to the NFL. Within the rules, but he wants players in opponents’ faces.

Third, he says he wants to attack the ball to get it back. Less containment. Go after the QB and the ball.

It sounds pretty Rex (Buddy) Ryan: which is probably why Rex, eight years out of the game, didn’t feature as a serious interviewee. The Jets probably think they’ve got a modern version of Rex. But let’s wait and see - they said that about Saleh and it did not work out for other reasons…

Back in the world of shit, failing teams, the Jets have already interviewed 12 head coaching candidates, with five more expected to be contacted this week.

That’s on top of the 15 general manager candidates.

32 people shortlisted. Which just confirms - as though anybody needed it confirming - that the owners and their suffocating acolytes have absolutely no idea what they’re doing. They genuinely don’t know what a good GM or HC even looks like on paper, let alone when he’s sitting in front of them.

32 people is not your shortlist. And it’s not being “thorough”, which is what some claim. It’s a scattergun approach to your most important personnel appointments.

It means you have no blueprint for what you want, you have no concept of which type of GM/HC you want and where to start in terms of selection.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they get very confused and interview Lopetegui.

I’m sure some of the candidates are decent or even very good. We might stumble upon a winning formula. But what are the chances? This is a franchise which, like West Ham, seems incapable of helping itself.

Just heard you're taking our assistant GM Lance Newmark (previously with the Lions) to work with Aaron Glenn

RG Sam Cosmi out for months with an ACL, next man up

[oh dear II]

will be in Philly for the game but have to say i'm not confident. We haven't played well in either post season game, our passing game is non-existent despite having one of the best receiving groups in the league, and we now have injury problems at corner, so Daniels could have a field day unless we can get Mitchell fit.

But...still feels somewhat ridiculous saying that given the strength of our roster, and you wouldn't necessarily take too many of the Washington team in ours... if we can keep the game in the trenches then we'll be ok - just don't think we've been convincing at all, and Washington are rolling.

"and you wouldn't necessarily take too many of the Washington team in ours" 

To a point this might be true, but that's what good coaches do they turn good or very good players into elite performers. And by extension they also make elite opponents look average on the day. 

Have a good time in Philly, I wish i could be there too. 

[oh dear II]

I did, I can show the screenshots from numerous channels during the week. Problem is, nothing's been achieved yet and we're on the road again next week

I did too, based on nothing more than blind faith though!

".................fight for ol' DC"

 

Quinn & Coach Whitt faced and beat them at the back end of last season in Dallas, limited them to just nineteen points and their best defender that day (Cam Sutton) moved on in the summer to Pittsburgh. Goff also threw two picks in that game, and Ceedee Lamb had over two hundred yards receiving. I was confident our WRs would expose them, and Jayden would handle the pressure. Just gutted I didn't bet on it

It's amazing what having proper coaches, owners and a QB can do isn't it.

So the best teams from the NFC are from the East. The worse team from the NFC is from the East. And the Cowgirls are irrelevant as usual.!

Kansas was Kansas. And Goff had the worse moment to start having brain farts. But a massive salute to the Commander’s.! Nobody. Not even Washington fans themselves even thought they would be in the NFC Championship game.

GO G MEN.
