    I think we have the best Job opening by a wide margin because of Josh but all things considered that Raiders job is great.

     

    First pick in every round


    blank slate as far as a roster almost

     

    zero expectations, you’ll have a while before you are asked to produce results 

     

    live in Vegas 

     

    owner will pay you to not coach. The guys paying like 4 guys now.

     

    It’s a high reward no risk situation out there 

    I live in LA, but used to do work in Vegas from time to time. After three days, you start to lose your mind. I would hate to live there. 115˚+ in the Summer. It's a sweltering hell.

    I'll be surprised if Andre Jones isn't a PS call up.

     

    I also don't know why so many expect Wilkerson to be active.  If he was ahead of the other guys on our PS why was he released from it while we kept Harman and Gosnell?

    If all this was the case, why was he released from the PS?  It's not like we lost him because someone signed him to the active roster or something, we simply released him from the PS while keeping several other WR's.

    You were right. Hardman it is.

    Agree, but he does tend to disappear for long stretches, at least to a casual observer. Could be he's not asked to catch much and is doing a good job blocking. 

    One of the things I love about the TE duo of Knox, and Kincaid (who appear to be close friends, as well) is the way they were drafted, and then developed by the Bills. In college, Knox had never caught a TD pass. He was developed in college as a blocking TE. Then when he came to the Bills, they began developing his ball skills (and to his credit, Knox spent every offseason working on his receiving, including working with an eye-hand coordination specialist). Conversely, Kincaid was considered the best pass-catching TE in his class, but with poor blocking skills, which the Bills immediately began developing upon arrival. 

     

    The result has been perhaps the best TE duo since Gronkowsky/Hernandez.

  4. I think it's a pretty varied list, but if you're a team in need of a head coach, where else can you look? With so many teams looking for a new HC, man the competition is brutal! Probably, a team will grab some hotshot college phenom who's going to "revolutionize the game," like Cliff Kingsbury did, lol. There might be a team out there still willing to take Bill Belichick* seriously-- that would be a hoot!. And there will be plenty of current OCs, and DCs getting some interest.

     

    Of all the coaches on that list, I would agree that Harbaugh is the most overrated. And the Baltimore fanbase has been calling for his head for a few seasons now, by a much larger margin that McD gets on here.

     

    McCarthy is another one where I can't see why a team would put him in consideration. 

     

    It'll be interesting to see if Tomlin continues coaching in the NFL, after 19 seasons on the same team. It's a pretty incredible stat that he went his entire 19 years in Pittsburg without coaching a sub-.500 season. I'd love to see what he could do with a team like the Jets.

     

    Speaking of the Jets, I honestly think Saleh could have been a successful HC, had he not joined such a dysfunctional organization, whose culture was even further ground into the turf by Aaron Rodgers, who has now seen the demise of three of the head coaches on this list!

    Knox isn't going anywhere. They will extend him for another 2/3 years. He is going to be here until he decides to retire (and yes itll reduce his cap number drastically so he will "go very cheap").

     

     

    IMO, Knox is one of the best "all around" TEs in the conference. Along with being an exceptional blocker, he has quietly had a great season, with a fantastic catch percentage, and clutch play.

    At the time, Wilkerson had only been on the team for a short time. I think they saw a potential role for him that ended up being filled by Shavers, which included special teams. When it came to the practice squad at that time, I think they saw Gosnell, at al, as better developmental prospects. Wilkerson was already 29, and a known commodity-- as @Chandler#81 mentioned, capable, but not exciting. I'd be surprised if they didn't view him as a more reliable option over Gosnell, who has yet to play in a regular season game.

     

    But, you're right that it may be Hardman over Wilkerson-- neither has a particularly great stat sheet, and neither has been on the team for very long. But Hardman hasn't had a decent stat line since '22, and I don't see anything to suggest that he has an edge over Wilkerson. And to date, Wilkerson has probably caught more passes from Josh Allen than Hardman has, even if most of them occurred back in August.

    Kristian Wilkerson highlights. Capable but nothing exciting.. Will likely suit up tomorrow for us

     

     

     

    Wilkerson was really making a case for himself in the preseason, and I think it came down to him vs Shavers. To the eye, it looked like Wilkerson was the better player, with the exception of one spectacular catch that Shavers made in a preseason game. Shavers likely also had the edge on him as a ST player, and as an established teammate with a lot of respect in the locker room. 

     

    He struck me as an exceptionally consistent player. When faced with the opportunity in the preseason, and with a very short tenure on the team, he looked composed, and didn't rattle. He could surprise us tomorrow.

  8. Just in terms of public perception, Ravens fans have been calling for Harbaugh's head for a while. For context, the Harbaugh-haters in Baltimore have been significantly louder, and at a higher percentage than the McD haters in Buffalo. I wouldn't say "the writing was on the wall" at the beginning of the season, but the sharpie was in hand. And after their week-one loss to the Bills, it started to be written. 

     

    I don't even think it was missing the playoffs that sealed it. If their rookie kicker hadn't shanked that last FG, and they squeaked into the playoffs, I think the only thing that would have saved Harbaugh's job would have been an AFCCG appearance. (Maybe making it to the divisional round?) On paper, they have one of the best rosters in the league, but they have underperformed all season long.

    Duhhh lol serious question though.... has any athlete restaurant ever been known for good food? 

     

    Theyre competing in a market that has top 3 BBQ in the nation! Im sure a ton of hard-core Chiefs fans will go once. But dang so much killer food, how long will the novelty last; spending more money for lower quality food.

    Apparently, Isaiah McKenzie's short-lived La Traila Barbecue was quite good, but with lousy service.

  10. Mike McDaniel just lets words fall out of his mouth like he's eating a salad with his face shot full of Novocain. Plus, I think he smokes a lot of weed. If he answers someone with, "everything is on the table..." he may very well have forgotten to listen to the question. He always has that look on his face like he staring into a refrigerator, and has forgotten why he walked into the kitchen in the first place. 

     

    That said, I have to believe that all of Miami would like to part ways with Tua, and perhaps the feeling is mutual. Tua learned this season that the key to being relaxed in the pocket is to not give a *****. And he surely doesn't. He will leave Miami having banked generational wealth, and hopefully without CTE in his future.

     

    Maybe he will find a job somewhere else as a starter, but I think he'd make a fine backup QB for the Arizona Cardinals. Or maybe he just goes back to Hawaii, and coaches high school football? That sounds like a nice life to me.

    Knox more snaps than Kincaid is interesting.

    He can do more. Knox has blocked his ass off all year. Kincaid doesn't give you that.

     

    Knox has been having a great season.
