  1. That actually is pretty good for a January pre-combine mock.
  2. Very curious to see the figures involved.
  3. Every time Marshawn has a great game with 150+yds rushing we have to listen to the lamentations and whines about what a terrible trade our front office made. I think it's only fair to point him out when he stinks it up in a big game. I'm not trying to put Marshawn down, just the local chapter of his fan club.
  4. Here's one for the Marshawn Fan Club: 16 carries 46 yards 2.9 yds/carry 1 fumble (3rd straight game with a fumble).
  5. “I just know what our system is going to bring to the table. I think the fans will be excited about it because we’re going to be high energy and we are going to be an attacking style of defense. We’re going to dictate to the offense. We’re not going to sit back and let offenses dictate to us, so if you’re going beat us it’s because you’ve taken our best punch.” That's all I need to hear. OC still scares me though.
  6. Here's the PFF list, not really a lot to work with. Even if a good CB is available, you have to throw $50M+ at them (see Carr, Finnegan, etc)
  7. I enjoy reading PFF but something has to be wrong with that G. Wilson grade...
  8. He didn't look too hot in his bowl game, made some terrible decisions (i.e. heaving that ball into the endzone short). Kiper has him ranked #22 on his Big Board and the top QB.
  9. I think once fans realize his name is pronounced "PET-in" it's going to be a mild disappointment I am looking forward to seeing the Bills defense blitz again, that should be refreshing.
  10. We just hired our own retread? Here's his bio Time to bust out the hard liquor.
  11. Did you pull any muscles reaching for that?
  12. Getting back on topic, I like Pettine, and I believe we have a very good shot at him. I think he realizes that he won't get the recognition he deserves playing in Rex's shadow.
  13. Clearly I don't. Williams played his entire career as a 5-technique DE in a 4-3, and was only switched to OLB for 5 games before he got hurt. It primarily worked because Phillip's 3-4 scheme doesn't require the DE to handle two gaps, which let Mario play outside in effect acting as a 5-technique. We paid $125M+ to these two guys to come in and play DE with one hand on the ground, something they've done their entire careers (except for Williams 5 games and Andersons 3), and we have the inside of our line locked up for the next 3 years to play 3-technique penetrating DT. I'm not going to even argue with you how ridiculous it is to think we can move both to OLB, let alone play the same OLB rush position in a 3-4. I think every time something major happens with this team this board loses it's mind.
  14. I remember those playoff games, I didn't know he was switched to ROLB. Maybe that is his true calling, because I actually question him as a full-time DE. You're the guy that wants to switch both our DEs to OLB, and I'm the guy that's off?
  15. What have you seen from Anderson that leads you to believe he can play OLB? No, a 3-4 OLB is not the same as a DE in a 4-3. There are some similarities but this isn't fantasy football, you can't simply interchange linemen and linebackers on a whim. We don't have a true 0-technique NT (unless you count Troup). And no, Dareus is not a true NT, I don't care if he got 5 sacks his rookie year.
  16. He pats the ball like crazy. He needs a lot of work.
  17. I think it has more to do with Nix's comments and philosophy over the years and not so much the Chan hiring. We've heard Nix say things like "you'd like to get a guy with NFL head coaching experience" and "the percentages of being successful is hiring a guy that's done it." Of course he will then add the standard GM-speak like "we will hire who we think is the best guy regardless," but if you've listened to Nix intently over the years it's pretty easy to see that this hiring has Brandon's and Whaley's fingerprints all over it. A Nix hiring would be Lovie Smith or Whis, two guys with NFL track records at HC that went to a Superbowl.
  18. At least we don't have to put up with two dozen threads crying about retreads.
  19. This guy better knock it out of the park with his OC and DC selections.
  20. Wow, did not see this coming. It's going to take a lot of heavy drinking to try to get myself to like this choice.
  21. He didn't bring anyone in. That was the job of the GM, Rod Graves, just as it was when Green was HC. Why do you not understand this? Yes - Leinart, Anderson, Hall, Skelton, Lindley all sucked under Wis. Guess what? They would suck under Vince Lombardi. This is the entire point - the man had absolutely nothing to work with. As Ozymandius said, when he did have Warner at QB, he flourished, which is something that Green could never get Warner to do. As a matter of fact, he took the entire team Green had (that Rod Graves built) and led them to an 8-8 record. The next year, Superbowl. I think this discussion with you has run its course. I can't even begin to explain how simplistic it is to look at 2 coaching records (6-10 and 5-11), point at one and say, "this coach is better."
  22. I think you're right, I do recall something about the Bidwell's now. I just remember Warner was only average in the Green regime, and the fans started clamoring for a change.
  23. Ahh, the old cracked ribs excuse for Fitz. That one is up there with Lee Evans performing well as a decoy. What was cracked with Fitz this year? Nice, with all that talent Green must have really improved the team his 3rd year. Whoops, he went 5-11 again and got canned - way to build that team. You didn't even cherrypick his stats correctly. Bring in Warner? Green was the HC when they drafted Leinart. Well, they had to draft Leinart because Warner was completely ineffective with Green at the helm. Warner did flourish when KW got there though, hmmmm.... I would assume his players came from the same place that Green's players came from, Rod Graves. The only difference is that KW was able to take the personnel that Green had all the way to the Superbowl, while Green was winning 5 games a season (and this is a coach that had a .610 winning % in the previous 10 years as you pointed out). You're completely delusional, but what should I expect from a guy with a Cowher avatar?
  24. Hold on, are you saying Gailey was lucky to have Fitz on the roster? Huh? Oh wait, I think you're the guy that said Dennis Green was reason for the Cardinals turnaround. That was great stuff!
