I can't imagine in a million years that Rex wants to start over as a defensive coordinator and try to work his way back up to HC.

Yeah, but then we wouldn’t have a border wall on Mexico’s tab.

Your business model has to be like the Patriots. You keep your QB, spend money on defense and then try to make chicken salad from chicken #$&# with the rest of the team. Unfortunately, you can’t have a balanced, stacked team once your QB passes his rookie contract in the salary can era.

I liked his personality and he was a very good OC but the defense totally tanked when he was HC and him not giving a rats a$$ about that side of the ball was a major factor, IMO. He was also oddly committed to Fitz when they should have been looking for a franchise QB.

That's hasn't really been McDermott or Frazier's philosophy. Blitzing teams play a lot of man coverage and I think they want to limit that in the secondary. What they need is to get a better pass rush from their front 4 so that they don't have to blitz as often. They only have 1 pass rusher right now and that's not nearly enough. They need a LDE and a DT who can bring it too.

Would be awesome but they would have to overpay to get him and that doesn’t sound like the “judicious” kind of FA that Beane was talking about. I’m thinking that they are basically going to sign role players and try to get the stars through the draft.

I hope not. He’s the second best lineman on the team and would be an ideal “swing” tackle backup long term, IMO. Sirles certainly didn’t show enough to pencil in as the new starter or even the primary backup without proving it in camp first.

When you have Blake Bortles its time to air it out.

I saw plenty of times where he wasn’t double teamed and was handled fine. And the Bills run defense wasn’t really that good last season so I don’t really get what they’re saying.

The only downside is that next year will be his last. I know he’s 36, but he’s still playing at a high level. His production is going to be missed.

Come on. This is New England’s division and has been for 20 years. All the other teams are the Washington Generals until proven otherwise. All focus should be on doing what it takes to beat New England. Forget the Jets.

That’s going to be up to Daboll, right? Probably some of both.

No one can tell me that the NFL isn’t an old boy network.

It's interesting that last years final four- Minnesota, Philadelphia, Jacksonville and New England were ranked #1, #2, #4 and #5 in total defense.

Oh he will. He's young yet. And very talented.
