Rufus T Firefly Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) 23 minutes ago, Destino said: It feels like the only way any team can keep a young creative OC is by making him head coach. They’re gone fast otherwise. Vrabel's tenure is kind of instructive of that. It's not the only thing that went wrong in Tennessee, but he lost LaFleur and then Smith and then ended up having to fire the replacement as the offense goes downhill. That's the kind of thing many of us worry about if we are developing a young QB (Maye perhaps). That QB getting comfortable with someone and losing them during his development. Then potential losing another one a couple years later. Edited January 10 by Rufus T Firefly 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Curious, how many HC interviews has EB been scheduled for? Are teams requesting permission? Have they liked what they saw with what he did here? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 2 hours ago, Rufus T Firefly said: This is wrong. His guaranteed salary would be paid by the team that trades for him. His cap number is 24.1 mil, his dead cap hit if traded would be 16.8, for a net saving of 7.3 mil. Thanks! I got the dead cap number from OTC. Hes still not going anywhere. 31 minutes ago, NoCalMike said: Curious, how many HC interviews has EB been scheduled for? Are teams requesting permission?

If I look at all of the candidates in a vacuum, I might like Mike Macdonald the best. Isn't Macdonald a defensive guy? Do you mean Monken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrFan Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 It seems that the stars are aligned. Draft picks, QB/OL draft of plenty, great GM, HC, coordinators candidates, some very good FA, and on top of that we're the most attractive rebuiding franchise. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philibusters Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 9 hours ago, RWJ said: Nugget from Keim: Rick Spielman's brother works for the Lions (Ben Johnson connection). Spielman is part of the advisory process for Harris as we know. I am assuming you are talking about Chris Spielman. It seems weird not to just name him because he is so famous in his own right. Growing up in the 1990's he was one of the top 5 or 6 LB'ers of that decade playing with the Lions with 5 pro bowls and 3 All Pro's selections (One 1st team and two 2nd teams). And then after the retired he was ubiquitous calling games for Fox for a decade or so. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Listening to a Detriot reporter on the Junkies talking about Ben Johnson, that reporter was cynical about other coaches but then when started talking about Johnson he gushed. "He's a stud". "It's going to stink when he leaves." He makes everyone on the team better. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 My only reservation about Ben Johnson’s scheme is that they seem to struggle with the blitz (to my untrained eye when I watch Detroit play). Not sure how much that is Goff/scheme/etc. But it did stand out to me considering that they have lot of talent on the OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I’d be beyond thrilled with a Peters hire. I think we should all be happy with that (although I know there will be some dissension here…it is ES 😆). This new beginning feels really good. Kinda like that first ice cream sandwich in the morning, 5 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which ever one of the top 3 QB's this front office covets and drafts doesnt matter in that regard. They can all move. And all move well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HigSkin Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Mike Valenti - radio host from Detroit on with The Junkies on Ben Johnson He's a stud Revitalizes guys careers, all the guys have gotten better Aggressive, great play action scheme on first down Tons of intermediate attacking shots Detroit leads the league in passes over 20 yds Run scheme diverse, tons of action One weakness is redzone EDIT - I'm slow this morning in getting to posts! I see @Skinsinparadise is on it. LOL Edited January 10 by HigSkin 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
