  1. When people predict the collapse of the NFL i ask: where is the sport and/or the league going? The sport has been around for a century. Football is woven into the fabric of american culture.

     

    The EPL isnt going under in the UK

     

    The NFL, MLB, and NBA arent going under in the US

     

    La Liga isnt going under in Spain

     

    Stop the drama. Pay your taxes. They arent going away either.

     

    So... we should add federal NFL tax and then no ads on TV or on jerseys? I'm game.

  2. WR1: Watkins

    WR2: ideally Woods (2nd FA priority behind Z. Brown), but for slightly less $ we can get D. Jackson from WAS (who has said he wants to play with Shady again), or for even more savings, Taylor's former teammate Aiken from BAL

    WR3: Hunter

    WR4: Powell

    WR5: Listenbee

    WR6: Patterson would be an upgrade, but also okay with retaining Tate

    WR7: Easley (depending on if he is valuable enough to make the final 53)

  3.  

    Reid mentions installs and you're right about film study.

     

    From what I understand, some QB coaches work a lot on mechanics (footwork, throwing motion, etc) and some not-so-much if at all.

     

    Reid's complimentary words do encourage me though I wonder how much of that is him uptalking one of his guys.

     

    My understanding along with that is that Taylor does not need so much to work on his mechanics as work on seeing all of the field better. Giving him the perspective of an ex-QB who has coached receivers, installed game plans, and studied film for years should help the latter.

  4. Interesting way of looking at things.

     

    Seems as if Buffalo made out pretty well in that department.

     

    Also found this group interesting:

     

    PITT 25,334,805 11 2,303,164
    ATL 25,500,000 11 2,318,182
    NYG 25,588,400 11 2,326,218

     

    All similar and playoff teams, 2 in conference championships.

  5. Unfortunately re: Peyton Manning as QB coach:

     

    “I do not see myself coaching,” said Manning when asked about his coaching future. “I will not be a coach.”

    Manning, who stepped away from football after winning Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos in his 18th NFL season, also squashed any rumors that he will return to Tennessee to coach the quarterbacks at his alma mater this season.

    “No, I will not be coaching quarterbacks at Tennessee, but I’ll be the biggest Vols fan this year,” Manning added.

  6.  

     

    I'm working under the assumption that Taylor is back and was waiting to see who the OC might be.

     

    Yeah I think Marshall would be very good in that $5M-$7M range, which is where I see him in a one year deal.

     

    Denver connection.......had 100 grabs in both 2007 and 2008 with Dennison at OC.

     

    Marshall had a down year but still put up good ypc and had 100+ with a ridiculous 1500+ yards in 2015.

    Assuming we are priced out of keeping Woods, would love to see Marshall brought in if he gels well with Rico.

     

    Also, can we please talk about the fact that Dennison's nickname is Rico?

  7. but does he check the playcalling, own playbook and running an offense box? i thought he had a marrone-esque history of not being a true offensive guy

    No one really does before coming a coordinator, but would it not be refreshing to have an offense focused through the line and superb blocking? He's a true offensive guy:

     

    As player: As coach:
    • Houston Oilers (19941996)

      (Offensive assistant/quality control coach)

    • Tennessee Oilers/Titans (19972010)

      (Offensive line coach)

    • Tennessee Titans (20112013)

      (Head coach)

    • Pittsburgh Steelers (2014–present)

      (Offensive line coach)

    Just reeeeeally line focused. I do get your point though re: play-calling.
