Yep. That national commentator was Adam Amin. He is a sharp younger guy who is one of the best in the biz right now He comes from a family of educators. The ability to communicate gets passed down

Not only that but it feels like teams are consistently finding starting caliber corners in the 2nd and 3rd and beyond these days

I would think he has a great shot at the NO gig after letting Carmichael go. They have talked about a role for Gruden next year to work with Carr (doesn’t seem like it is the OC role). Carr absolutely cooked in Oakland w Olson as his playcaller

Yep. Regardless of QB, I am excited to see how a mind like Ben Johnson can utilize him next season.

You didn’t actually watch Wilson this year, did you? Payton managed him this year like he did Jameis

Not necessarily. Ben has been under a lot of different offensive minds and does not come from any one tree. There is a school of thought that he is running the scheme he is running in Detroit because of Campbell’s preferences

I don’t get it. Was Gruden a great leader? No. Was he a good X’s and O’s guy who put QBs in a position to succeed? Yes. Kirk got where he got to under Jay and McVay. Furthermore, on the other end of the spectrum, this team actually won games with Josh Johnson and got almost got a Josh Johnson led team with a group of backup OLs and a bad D to the playoffs in 2018

Given how complicated offenses have gotten since then, I think it is even harder for a rookie to be a green dot LB day 1 (as the last moronic staff tried to do w Jamin). A veteran who has been around has become even more important. As examples, in this FA class, Al Shaair was the 3rd LB in SF and learned over 4 years before becoming the green dot in TN this past year. Similarly, Luvu just earned the green dot this year after years in the league as a special teamer in NYJ first.

We should sign Snyder to play QB and give him Stephon Heyer, Tyler Polumbus, Casey Rabach, Trai Turner and Wes Martin as his OL

Yes. Luvu is the best off ball LB in FA and he wore the green dot this season in Carolina.

Very overrated. What Harbaugh built at Stanford died over time under Shaw

He found Curl in the 7th because other teams struggled evaluating college players. That was arguably his greatest draft pick. Also his COVID FO class > any of his other ones

Yep. On JPJ, if they take him, I don’t like him as a rookie center. I believe he has only a year of experience in the role if I’m not mistaken. I do like your idea of drafting him t be a guard and eventually move him to center if there is a need. I’d hope, given the intellect needed to play center, he can pick up the NFL nuances of playing guard relatively quickly and not struggle like many of the rookie IOLs taken round 2 this year

He is not getting cut. He is guaranteed his contract for 4 years. Worst case, he is a depth piece who is kept around until his contract runs out

The guys he is closest with around the league are the Eagles guys from the 99 staff. Reid is set with Spags and I see Harbaugh promoting the next guy on the staff vs hiring Ron when Macdonald leaves I believe Ron burned his bridge with the Bills guys over the McKissic fiasco.

My guy Canales is the dark horse in many HC searches. If I am Canales, I am trying to bring my longtime colleague and mentor Waldron with me as my OC so that I can focus on being a HC

Absolute load of ****. For me, he is my most hated coach to come out of the Snyder era. Given the depth out there with folks who have done well most recently as DCs, why would you hire Ron? Maybe he gets a job as a position coach + assistant head coach title

As Keim likes to say, the weight isn't the major issue. The issue is that he played with bad technique, especially in the first half of the season. He needs to focus on cleaning that up first and foremost. To his credit, his technique seemed to improve incrementally in the second half of the season. He needs to really focus on that this offseason...a real pass rush next year will also help him look better. Again, my take is go sign a proven starting corner (Peters's find Lenoir will be available in FA I believe) and let Forbes and St Juste fight it out for the other starting corner spot. I bet at least one of the two bounces back next year. It also helps we play the NFC South and AFC North next year. Both divisions currently lack a #2 receiver worth a damn (outside of the Bengals who are probably losing Higgins)

Regarding the scouts, didn’t they generally keep a number of folks from the Kyle Smith era around?

Info via Logan probably

That is a lot of talent on defense. If Quinn leaves, minus some of this talent, that leaves their D in the hole it was in pre Quinn. The difference though is they have 3 All Pros to work with in Parsons, Diggs and Bland

Nielsen from the Falcons is out there to be had. He is going to be talked about as a HC candidate in a year or two

I would definitely be interested in Kafka with a defensive HC. I was impressed with the job he did last year and this year with Devito and that garbage OL

Peters did start his career in BB’s org

Wasn’t he the Lakers coach and GM for a bit? He sucked at both though
