I was thinking that with Rex coming in, we're very likely to see a few more years of dominance on defense. How does this help the chances of guys like Mario and Kyle (and Marcell) in maybe getting into the HOF? KW already has Pro Bowls in 4 of the last 5 years (only missing the year he had surgery I think). If he can get 3 or 4 more I'd say he has a pretty good shot of getting in eventually.

Hey, what the hell? I'm Spartacus. All in this year? Would be awesome.

Would it be prohibited for coordinators to move, or would teams just not be forced into allowing coaches to pursue HC opportunities? If teams can still allow the move (and it seems like you would have to allow it) then how many teams would deny the opportunity, knowing that you're going to have a disgruntled employee running your offense / defense?

Whoa, was just coming to post this. #1? We would be a playoff team, but it would most likely be a one and done kind of deal. My biggest question would be, is he finally willing to play any kind of a mentor role? Cause him showing EJ how it's really done could be as valuable to me as him getting us to the playoffs for a year.

I assumed if Schwartz is named Asst Head Coach then Thurman will be DC. Bottom line is, these are all just titles, and getting these guys on the same page to build a great defense is all that really matters.

exactly. not to mention, keeps some of the chemistry that schwartz had built up this year.

maybe move schwartz (or thurman) to asst. head coach?

Let Rex be the HC, let Schwartz run the defense with input from Rex and Thurman. There may be some differences of opinion during the season, but winning cures all, and these guys can all help us win.

Right, I'm sure he and Rex probably need to sit down and talk. All it means is that there is some hope within the organization that we can get both to stay.

If you draft that many QBs, how do you get them enough snaps to adequately develop any one of them?

Speaking of Jets fan reaction, can we put out the Bat signal for Jimmy Spags? I'd like to get his take on all of this.

We had similar issues at work this week. Our DoS protection didn't kick in since it's all coming from different IPs. We ended up increasing the number of max connections and decreasing timeout values on our web servers so that each connection would not last as long. We had a few hours where we were seeing a ton of connections, but after that it's been slower (but still coming in.) Someone in our security team did some research and found others reporting similar issues, it looks like there are a few ISPs overseas who have some misconfigurations and are directing this BitTorrent traffic to incorrect IPs. Good luck Edit: We do business in China, so it wasn't feasible to block a broad section of Chinese IPs, I'm not sure if that would be an option for you. Found some more on it here: http://serverfault.com/questions/658433/mysterious-misdirected-traffic-how-can-i-find-out-what-dns-server-an-http-requ

Looks like Sabrespace is still down (I'm getting an Apache Test page) is that still expected?

I understand his point. Jokes.

So the Buffalo media is the actual problem? Glad you cleared that up. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/170230-the-bills-are-not-your-problem/

Any coach who let the media run him out of town (your representation, not mine) should be boiled in his own pudding.

Bills colored glasses.

Can it play Guard?

This reminds me of the storyline on the Sopranos where Tony consults with every decent divorce lawyer in the city to ensure Carmella can't use them. I wish interviewing coaching candidates worked that way.

It's fiction, right? So someone did indeed make this up.

Will be tough since it's a lateral move. Even if you give him the Asst. Head Coach title, SD would not have to let him out of his contract.

This really should be a poll. My vote goes to open.

Yes, we could, although it would be a dick move. The only interviews we would have to grant would be for HC spots. http://www.csnwashington.com/redskinsblog/what-are-rules-nfl-teams-granting-permission-interview-assistants

If I'm Schwartz, I don't want to go anywhere else to be a DC unless there is a strong dislike of the incoming HC. He's got the players here to get him more HC interviews (eventually if not this year.)
