Thanks Redskinss!.  I also think "recalibrate" is a better word for downplaying the actual scope of the change -- it gives the media the impression that this team is close to being a decent competitor, and is just needing a few more good parts. 

 

And that impression is a wise way to project things to the media, at least so the next batch of free agents aren't reluctant to sign up with an organization that's being portrayed as 'on the rise', and not that far off from being a competitor than can contend for postseason action.

 

Of course, the eventual proof will be in how well this team performs with its new roster, coaches, and play-schemes.  And here, I remain cautiously optimistic, since I feel the team performed below its potential last year, and still has some very good players, assuming they buy into the new culture that Quinn will foster.

Do we expect more announcements about improvement after the money clears?

So note to Adam Peters, do better drafting than RR...I see that as an attainable goal

It was still slightly better than Ron's...

Any chance someone could post the full interview that Peters gave at the owners meeting ?

It's just stunning that the players Ron Rivera acquired in the draft just four years ago are all gone.

 

None of them are here anymore.  

 

That's unbelievable, and a sad commentary on what the team was like. ☹️

There's still 2 that could get re signed but yeah as of now they are all gone and it's a pretty sad commentary of riveras skill as an evaluator.

Did anyone post it or find it?

 

I would love to watch the whole thing, if it's available.

 

 

EDIT:

 

 

Just found this...

There's more than a month to go. They should be far.

We're going to be tackling this year? What if our players get hurt?

[CommanderInTheRye]

According to Sirious NFL radio the NFL owners stayed up late last night (aka hit the sauce pretty hard) and while they were feeling no pain and in a jovial mood evil Mara saw his opportunity and rushed through a quick vote on the new kickoff rules.

 

Unconfirmed reports suggest a few owners were drooling and semi-comatose and had to have others lift their hands to register affirmative on the vote. 😃

 

In any event it's a done deal for next season.

Based on the theory that a picture is worth 1,000 words and a video at 24 frames/sec is worth two dozen pictures.

 

Here's a few very short videos of what the new kickoffs will be like...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since we were planning for this with some of our cheaper free agent pickups and our ST coach is one of the top rugby tackling technicians in the game we should potentially see a significant early  advantage on teams for a change next year.

Seems like the potential for ST’s strategy and scheming to start to approach offensive and defensive complexity is there…looking forward to seeing how smart teams try to exploit the new rules and up their average return yardage.

 

Don’t think it’s a coincidence we’ve brought in more ST’s studs than people expected. 

 

 

 

This has the potential to be super exciting. Kickoffs have been boring for ages, even before they incentivized kicking it through the endzone in recent years.

Good find Conn!

 

I added that Galko guy and @Schwarzsteins to my follow list on Twitter.

 

Never get tired of reading what truly innovative thinkers have to say.

Agreed - every kickoff was a touchback save for rare occasions.  Plus, if the kicking team doesn't kick it between the 20 yard line and the end zone, it is a big penalty - similar to kicking it out of bounds - the ball is placed on the 40 yard line.  Should make these situations really gripping to watch for all involved - be it the team ahead or the team behind.  And isn't it nice to finally have some forward thinking: knowing that this change was likely coming, we brought in lots of special teams skill players to capitalize right away.
