  1. Totally agree. There's a good mix too of vet and young talent. Of course several will be tagged or signed by their existing team. They have to know the pass rush wasn't good enough and keeping Murphy and re-signing Shaq won't change that. I think they also realize adding a pass rusher allows them to value sign at other defensive positions.
  2. One of the biggest trades in NFL history in terms of an iconic seemingly un-tradeable player.
  3. I'm confused why you asked if we would let him go for a promotion? When you seem to fully understand we would.
  4. The message for me is, Jerry still doesn't understand why he lost his job.
  5. Most forgot Ray Ray is still on the practice squad.
  6. Milano may not be a thumper but he plays the run well.
  7. We need McDermott to understand offense is necessary.
  8. The niners FB really makes an impact. Ours as the 2nd highest paid sucks.
  9. Can we start with learning how to run a screen pass?
  10. Damn Republicans ruined that beautiful state.
  11. ... when the team can't figure out the simple screen pass to easily get him over 60%. Finished the thought for you.
  12. Thank you Humphries for not not picking us.
  13. We do have these answers. It's our free will that won't allow for the understanding to manifest.
  14. That is beautiful
  15. Disagreeing that 2 + 2= 4 is your prerogative.
  16. Of course Rivera will help their rankings, but I'd think being attached with the Bills defense would be much more attractive.
  17. I think this is a very important point.
  18. You can tell he plays with some nastiness. This doesn't surprise me.
  19. I wonder if he got the sense or knew they weren't happy with his performance. I get the coaching with an old friend part but seems it would be better for your career to be attached with one of the best defenses in the entire NFL.
  20. I don't think it's about single focus because that would be ridiculous of a HC. I think it's more that your background as an offensive or defensive coach is your expertise. We all know these coaches spend hours and hours away from their families obsessing over their craft. McD was a safety when he played, then he moved his way up the ranks on the defensive side of the ball as defensive quality control - DB coach - LB coach - back to secondary coach - D coordinator, etc etc. So every hour of film, every drill, every fundamental, every OTA, every TC, every game day strategy has been defensive oriented - obviously. He knows how to teach defense. He can spot and recognize real time issues that happen on a defensive play. He can identify areas that need improvement fundamentally on defense. He knows that the DT didn't to X or the LB opened up his hips too soon or the DB took the wrong angle, etc etc. Of course these men are all wicked smart and they understand offense as they've spent their lives defending against it. But the instincts aren't on that side of the ball and they aren't teachers of each of the positions. I know they can and have knowledge of everything but it's not their expertise. It's for those reasons I identify a coach as minded on one side of the ball.
  21. I don't think you fully understand zone. Tre plays man and shuts his man down consistently.
