Kind of funny, EB would be a RR interview. If they go outside the organization, then no. I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I am not suggesting EB would ever be a candidate there for anything other than a position coach who the players already seem to like. It didn't work here, but multiple times, unprompted, Mahomes and Kelce brought up they were missing the attention to detail EB brought. So, he might go back and instill that again as an assistant. 1 minute ago, sinews said: The more I hear about EB in KC it just sounds like he was some kind of guru figure for the offense, whatever else, at least on game day, seemed marginal. Maybe they should create a new title and bring him back. That's what I was saying, "special offensive assistant." Pay him and call it a day.

CommandB11 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 That was an INCREDIBLE press conference. Quinn is a leader personified. Amazing 10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan since a Fetus Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 3 hours ago, Spaceman Spiff said: I can't get excited for this ****, I'm sorry. Been here too many times before...and I know, I know, I know, this isn't a Snyder hire. I just keep seeing the dude who blew a 28-3 lead to Tom Brady and the Patriots...just with another stooge at his side. I sure hope Kliff'em All is the QB whisperer who everyone says he is, lord knows we're about 35 years overdue in needing one. I don't even know who the defensive coordinator is, I saw the alert come in on my phone that we hired someone who I'm sure will be making us pine for the Joe Berry days come early November. I just can't do it. I'd love to hear why I should think we're turning a corner and why we're in a good spot outside of having the #2 pick. if "SPIFF, DRAFT PICKS!!!" is all you have to be excited about, don't @ me. I think Quinn losing a SuperBowl while leading big to arguably the best QB the game has ever seen on a team that bullied everyone it came across coupled with the fact that our team hasn’t sniffed a SB in 30+ years is the least of the worries. im. Not excited about Kliff and his passing game. I think I’ll have similar complaints as EB’s system and calling. However, Kliff does create a really strong run game. If Quinn can somehow get Kliff’s passing game on point, the offense can be good. That’s a big if though. As far as the defense. Yeah, I’m worried about the late collapses. But didn’t Dallas this year have many banged up players in the playoff game that forced others to play out of position? I would give Quinn a break on that one if I’m correct. But I understand he has a history. I do like the fact that Quinn hired a team to see where he went wrong in his first coaching stint. That is a smart person that does something like that. Thats not ego. We’ve seen ego here plenty, I don’t think he has that and that’s a main reason I am willing to take a second chance on him. Also, we have draft picks and money. Yeah I said it mofo and im @ you and you can’t stop me! I’m not saying you need to buy in, but I do think everyone needs to take a deep breath and see how all of this plays out.

Voice_of_Reason Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 And we're out. Well, I don't think it was a "win the presser" type of presser. But there were some subtle things I really liked. I especially liked the way he said he evolved his defense, was self-aware, figured out what needed to change, etc. If he can build the team to be physical and explosive, that would be a really good start. I think the other thing which came through loud and clear: the roster sucks and they all know it. Ron, you're not getting the damn ring when they win because you left the team in shambles. I wonder if they're going to have intro press conferences for Kliff and Whitt. And for those wondering, now that it's official, EB is off the website. Kliff and Joe are on it. And they really need a better picture of Quinn. They also need to beef up the content just a wee bit: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdaddy Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I believe we are in good hands with the coaching staff, now it's time to find some players who can play. I have no doubt Quinn will be a great motivator and will have solid game plans. ****'s about to get real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinews Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Ultimately it will come down to what happens on the field, w-l, etc. but the "Ron Rivera 2.0" comments don't feel justified at all after watching that. Good first impression. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraCommander Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I’m excited. I don’t care what anyone says. We have a GM, we have a coaching staff that was chosen by the GM and and ownership group that doesn’t include Dan Snyder. 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I thought Quinn was just ok. Maybe I expected more. Like the leadership, like the self evaluation. Other than saying he canned EB this morning, though, there wasn't a whole lot of substance. Shrug. But pressers don't really matter. Winning matters. I also think a whole lot more about this team is up to Peters than Quinn for this year. They're going to have to strike gold early and often in FA and the draft for this team to be more than a 4-5 win team next year. Because Ron left us with a 4 win roster with 50% heading to FA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 We certainly have strong credibility now in our leadership group. We’re in a good position to recruit some excellent players this offseason. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalu44 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I think the more successful offenses in the NFL these days is all about pre-snap motion. Hopefully CK embraces more of this in his system here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s clear to see how his nature and drive builds strong relationships. I’ve been so/so on the hire, but what I would say is that he’s going to weed the rubbish out very quickly. I don’t see many frauds making the cut with him. As you say, the roster sucks, therefore it’s a massive task ahead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I think the only players to survive will be the pre-Ron players. I don’t think Ron’s players will be part of this team long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinews Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) Rivera talked a big game about accountability but when it came to coaches it was nowhere to be found. Here's hoping that Quinn handles his business and keeps KK in check on the offense (doesn't let him get too cute, etc.). I want it to work but I have questions.

clskinsfan Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 About half way through watching the presser now. Quinn is a natural leader. He exudes it. Love that he got into a little bit of details about his philosophy of how to confuse QB's pre and post snap. I would love to sit down with that guy for 15 minutes and pick his brain. And that is what makes him valuable imo. Because players, coaches and other personnel want to do the same thing. Feel even better about the hire than I did before. I would prefer he was calling plays. But he clearly trusts Whitt to do it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) I just finished watching his press conferences. Wow is he detailed. In one press conference, I leaned more about his thoughts about X's and O's on defense and thoughts about personnel than all of Rivera's press conferences combined. On defense -- it was clear as heck they will go get a LB and edge. That's obvious but I doubt its the bargain basement crap that fuels Rivera. Tackling in space is key for him. Because of how offenses these days are designed to attack in space and create YAC. That to me is heavy about the Mike LB and SS. He more or less admitted Seattle's Cover 3 scheme gets eaten alive by today's offenses and he had to throw that out the window and come up with an entirely different scheme. He highlighted that you need a stud edge. On offense clearly he wants explosive plays-speed. Edited February 5 by Skinsinparadise 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
