  1. Speaking of Howell seeing a lot of break down vids from recent games and people seem optimistic.  I'm not saying he's Peyton or Brady, but I wonder if he could be serviceable a while like a certain other ACC QB was in Atlanta and Houstan (Matt Schaub).  And may give us the windoe to retool the core of the O and D while we figure out if he's worth the third contract.  At the moment I'd strongly be leaning toward early extension talks next year unless he craters at years end .

  2. I would hate to lose EB, but I trust Harris to do what he thinks is in the best interest of the team generally.

    His first hire might be a flub, there's no way to know, but it can't be worse than Jim Zorn or a retread Shanahan.

    What I wondered, is what happens in Dallas if McCarthy Gets fired.  Do they elevate Dan Quinn?  if Quinn is available, do you grab him as a a HC and let EB run the offense?

    I know, 'stealing' a dallas coach got us a Norval syndrome, but we've had a hard time with consistency since Norv (minus 2 years of Gibbs).

    I wouldnt mind if they talked to Lincoln Riley. He is known as a QB guru. Would be a good thing for Howell. And I love his version of the Air Raid offensive system. He runs a RPO system with air raid route trees. Lots of crosses and one on ones in his offense. It is lethal.



    Riley is one of the college guys I keep hearing, but I have not seen how he plays now as coach.  I'm worried this looks like Spurrier 2.0 Just with a lot less Gun and almost no Fun.
     

  3. so I thought for a while that they were doing a 5-2 set up not a 4-2.   five lineman means unless they keep in 2 tight ends and maybe the back, that you have mulitple guys with single blockers. a 5-2 could easily become a 3-4 if an end or tackle drop, or a 4-3 just to mess with people.  I'm not sure we ahve the smarts at end for that, and I think allen payne are btter being disruptive in the middle of the dline than dropping into coverage.  so I would not switch to 3-4.

    Better to sign Good-Jones as opposed to Bad-Jones, I always say.

    This is why I remain a fan, because we as a franchise after all the crap we've dealt with can still have humor like this.  Its why I keep coming back here, despite being at arms length with the team right now.  But I think if Harris continues to make wise moves, I can stop being standoffish soon.  I'm hopeful.
