Really strange because he had MAXIMUM effort as a rookie then it just appears he just go the big head and just doesn't play team ball. His talent will get him another contract, but he's certainly missing that spark that made him special. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly believe no one knows but following the HC situation here it 100% points to Ben Johnson and really, it's not even close. If I am wrong, so be it. I 100% could be and I'll take the flack back. I stand my ground that it's 100% Ben. Quinn is headed to Seattle and I think they will end up hiring him before the end of the week as HC. Just a guess and then it leaves Carolina. I think their guy will be Dave Canales to work with their #1 pick from last year. That just leaves Atlanta and I think they end up getting Vrabel. Thus, we wait for Ben Johnson. My guess. Sorry for the emotion and to all. It's been about JK. He is who he is. I like to see him be more open and not timid as a beat reporter.

Again, Harris refreshingly is tight lipped, but I've seen and heard enough for me to speculate too and that's where the 100 % comes from and I put it out there that's why I said I could be 100% wrong to and I'll take the flack back if not. Boomer put it out there that he was 100% and said, Ben was "locked in". I'm calling it the way I see it, bud! On 1/24/2024 at 8:54 PM, RWJ said: Bram says "It feels like a layup, and it's been in the works for a long time." Bingo! Sometimes Keim bores me. If you took him to a horse track and a horse was 2/1 to win and the favorite, he seems like a guy that would be $5 on it rather than a grand! Please stop speaking with any sort of authority in this thread. You decide on a new opinion to be “100% sure of” every other day and then pompously post it over and over again until you change your mind. 41 minutes ago, Bifflog said: Why is it so important for you to convince everyone else of this? Could save a lot of time to just unleash one big "I told you so!" if they go Macdonald rather than fight every inch until it's over with... He wasn’t even convinced of it 2-3 days ago. He was 100% sure it was Ben Johnson and wouldn’t stop posting about it. Edited January 29 by Conn 2 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bird_1972 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Is anyone concerned about the game Ben Johnson called? I know conventional wisdom has him as the top HC candidate out there but I can't shake an uneasy feeling about him not keeping his foot on the gas in the second half vs. the 49ers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson called a pretty good game. The 1st half was almost flawless. The 2nd half, it was more about the players not executing and Campbell going against conventional wisdom. All in all, it was pretty good sample size 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goff and the WR’s beefed multiple golden opportunities that Johnson put them in position for. Campbell’s overly aggressive 4th down decisions did the rest. I was very happy with Johnson’s showing in this game. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know conventional wisdom has him as the top HC candidate out there but I can't shake an uneasy feeling about him not keeping his foot on the gas in the second half vs. the 49ers. He called a great game. The Lions receivers kept dropping passes and MCDC decided to go for it on 4th down twice instead of kick FGs. On one of the 4ths Reynolds had a drop that would have extended the drive. One other drive ended in one play because of a Gibbs fumble, nothing coaching related at all. The scheme got receivers open consistently and they ran the ball very effectively. Offense was humming in the 2nd half too but the drops and bad decisions on 4th down killed them(and of course the Gibbs fumble). Johnson is a top class offensive mind, playcaller, and strategist. Now can he be a leader of men? We'll see. But I'm getting Sean McVay vibes from him. We gotta lock him down ASAP. You pair him with a blue chip QB from our #2 pick and we'll be running the division and conference in a couple years. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The only way I’d be concerned was if it was his job to a) catch the ball, b) not fumble the ball and c) not go for it on 4th down every single time it’s a close call. Seeing as how he had control over none of those three things, my concern level is zero. I do wonder though whether it was his idea or Campbell’s to run it on 3rd down at the goal line, forcing them to do an onside kick when they didn’t convert… I would think that’s a strategic decision the HC would need to push for and/or approve, but I doubt we’ll ever know.

There is an interview competition between the best OC and DC in the league right now and FO and management will make the call. Disagree. Granted nothing is done until it’s done, but to act like all the heat is spread evenly across several candidates and we don’t have any clues about who is the heavy favorite is just being willfully blind. From all the reporting, Johnson looks like the heavy heavy favorite. Yes, there are media people saying that’s it’s not a done deal, but there are also people saying Johnson is a lock. There isn’t any media reporting that any other candidate is a lock, or heavy favorite. Only Johnson is getting those distinctions. I just think that it’s pretty obvious that it’s going to be Johnson, pending the formalities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not only smoke but I SEE some fire too. My thought is they are absolutely doing due diligence on other candidates, because until they have a deal with Johnson they need other options. Now the Lions and Ravens are out we should find out by mid week were this is going. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But without the chance to be the focal point of not only a rebuild but building an entirely new franchise and team culture, along with the #2 overall pick to get his QB of choice. The Seahawks I could see for maybe a more veteran HC who wanted a stable and predictable situation to go to. But Johnson doesn't seem that sort. I think he'd like the challenge of getting to basically start from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’m saying is that, from the body of reporting out there, it appears to my eyes that the decisions have already been made and the interview process is something closer to a formality than a competition. It’s Johnson unless something really really weird happens in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
