Mr. WEO

this again!! one really has to look past a very large forest to find this tree

I asked about the 53 man roster. PS doesn’t count as so few get called up. Picks Beane let go who ended up on other teams don’t count either because there’s no reason to believe many or all would not have been selected by other teams initially. see above, Pavlov’s dog..

how many are still on the roster

we never stopped! lol

such a lazy response: https://nflpaweb.blob.core.windows.net/website/Departments/Salary-Cap-Agent-Admin/2022-NFL-Personal-Conduct-Policy.pdf

it's not weird--it's the system that the Players and their union and the owners have, collectively, agreed to. tell them you think it's weird...maybe they will change everything.

NFL typically waits for the criminal case to be adjudicated. In Jones case, that resulted in no charges. Rice's case hasn't ended in any way. anyway, this same topic was just beaten to death in another thread:

I'm not sure who would do better in Miami right now, so I would rather the Fins have a guy like Daboll at the helm, than a sharp Offensive mind like McDaniel. Beating the Fins won't guarantee the the Division for the Bills.

I disagree with this part. Hiring a subordinate from within creates a totally different power dynamic between coach and coordinator. None of the inside guys would ever challenge McD. Especially on Defense. I can't imagine much of a degree of independence in play design and calling. Always waiting to get the hook.

Why is this a bad move? Bills extended McD (the first time) with 2 years left on his contract.

he'll never have to be locker mates with Milano..

he was heavily recruited...for Practice Squads? lol

lilmo is a legend

I think we all understand that. yet many of the words still ring true for each team, however.

Fangio was hired and let go as DC for 6 different teams before the Dolphins made it #7. McVay, Shanahan, Tomlin and McDermott were all coordinators hired from other teams, not from within. normally, I would not questions your expertise in the field of idiocy...

Well, obviously that's the wrong question. Should be "why didn't they hire him?" I'm "that guy"? It's hardly a unique position. From another thread on page one from today: https://defector.com/why-your-team-sucks-2024-buffalo-bills Look, this is Weird, right? The team’s previous defensive coordinator, Leslie Frazier, “took a year off” after a 13-3 season in 2022 and never came back. Brady is the fourth—fourth!—offensive coordinator of the McDermott tenure, and only one of his previous OCs, Brian Daboll, left for a head coaching job. Rick Dennison and Ken Dorsey were both dumpstered during/after playoff seasons, with Dorsey’s firing coming under especially dubious circumstances. How many head coaches get to hire this many coordinators? How many refuse to hire from outside the organization like this?! Maybe most interestingly, former special teams coordinator Heath Farwell left for the same job with the Jacksonville Jaguars after the 13 Seconds game. I can’t prove that this is because, say, hypothetically, McDermott overrode Farwell’s call for a squib kick and had Tyler Bass kick it deep, which then gave the Chiefs just enough time to send the game to overtime, thus creating conflict between Farwell and McDermott that could never be mended. Nobody will ever go on the record about such a thing, so I guess we’ll never know what happened! Aww, shucks! What I can say for sure is that a lot of Sean McDermott’s coordinators seem to leave or get fired at the exact moment people start calling for McDermott’s head. Honestly, good luck to Babich and Brady. If their boss forgets how many timeouts their opponent has—again (allegedly)—they might be called into his office on Monday morning. A little hyperbole there, but not much. You pretend like this hasn't come up here many times before.

I was dubious when I saw the byline. But this was pretty funny, well done.

no need to ask a question already answered. what is gained?

breaking news...

their profits are massive every year. what has this to do with Goodell?? He's not the one ***** out bits of NFL teams. That would be Terry, and Jerry and the rest. your question is why Goodell gets $40 million a year.

simple: owner didn't want to trade him player didn't like the team's initial offer...then he took their offer when he understood they were not going to honor his "official request" to be traded this was on Aiyuk

And why do you think he would hire his position coach over guys who have been NFL play callers?

I already did. who else did McD interview for that job?

but but but, he officially requested a trade!

It's in the best interest of the team to have a career position coach to be calling the plays? lol, come on. McD smells something sour brewing and he's heading from the kitchen to the living room...
