Well on the second part, they believed they addressed receiver already when they took Reagor even though they obviously took the wrong guy. First part is fair.
Will the second round of interviews start this week? Who they interview then will show who the true contenders for the job are.
It's hard not to be. He seems to have an aura around him. Not sure we're the team for a young guy like him but knows, maybe we are.
Thanks boozer. I remember watching a football documentary and Ron Wolfe saying “trust your eyes” and that really resonated with me when evaluating prospects. Since then I feel it’s helped me with recognizing that IT factor you look for. I was really high on DK Metcalf as well. I originally had him going in the top 10 in my mock draft and somehow he slipped to the bottom of the 2nd round. Just crazy. This year it was all about Trevor Lawrence which is so obvious but I think he will be an incredible player. I really feel Najee Harris also has a chance to be special coming out this year.
Hard to deny what a great job Smith did with Tennessee’s offense and getting the most out of Tanehill which is really a game manager, after been very poorly used under Gase in Miami. Give him someone like Fields or Watson and he could be amazing IMO . He could also get the best out of Sam.
So whom do you want? Daboll has been coaching in the NFL for 20 years, 10 of those under Belichick, one of the greatest coaches of all time, and also spent a year under Saban. He also coached under Romeo Crennel in KC, Mangini with the Jets and Cleveland, Tony Sparano and Todd Bowles in Miami, and Sean McDermott in Buffalo, so he has coached under great HCs, some very good ones, and some awful ones. Unless he is dumb and wasn't paying attention, he couldn't help but learn in each of those situations things that worked, and things that didn't work. He has coached both offense and defense. What is so scary about him? It's not like he's Joe Brady and only 31.
So now 7 teams are looking for a head coach. The top coordinators are getting tons of interviews, except with Houston where no one knows what the hell is going on. We better start the down select process soon.
Things got waaaay more interesting with Pederson hitting the market. I’m hoping our draft picks and the allure of building their own team is enough for JD to pull someone decent in. Of course the stigma of our franchise, and dealing with NY doesn’t help anything, but trying to stay optimistic
Well, we will see how your predictions go. Winning those worthless games threw our plans off. Everyone wanted TL now we are divided about what to do with the 2nd pick. I want nothing to do with Fields and leaning towards either Sewell or trading down. But not too far down. Putting alot of capital into high picks on offensive limeman don't make a ton of sense.
Did Pederson do what he did at the end of the season so he would be fired so he could join JD in New York. What is scary is Gase did the same thing , they were in playoff contention, Gase got in a fight with Ross, the fins tank out of the playoffs. Ross fires Gase. Pederson gets to work with a qb in Wilson , who compares to a qb his mentor Andy Reid had so much success with. Pederson is not a bad hire. I have stated that our GM and head coach need to change the chain of command. Build a strong organization. JD and Peterson can do that if they work together. It is more than drafts and hitting on a few free agents , it is building a structure that defines our team. I do not think Pederson leads us to a superbowl win, he could though. What he could bring is coach up our team and establish the NEW YORK JETS CULTURE with JD. Then we can hire the guy to lead us to the next level. I believe we are two coaches away from winning
Guilty here too. But it's not like the idea wasn't based on some level of common sense: Quinn was coordinator for the league's top defense, helped put together The Legion of Boom, and held Payton Manning to a single TD in the Super Bowl two years prior. Nobody knew that he basically was what Rich Kotite would have been if he had the talent the Falcons have.
