I think Castillo takes some blame because it's his job to make sure the line improves technique, and that just didn't happen. I think the problem is the personnel fitting the scheme. The problem with a guy like Tyrod is that they are asking him to do things he simply can't do. The problem with our line is that they were built for a power running scheme and they are just too slow and unathletic to make the zone scheme work. Again, we are asking them to do things they simply cannot do. Aside from Dion Dawkins, none of these guys fit the scheme. Go watch the Atlanta Falcons play and see how fast their lineman move in space. Guys like Jake Matthews, Alex Mack, and Andy Levitre (though he is on IR right now). That is the type of lineman you want, not these big slow plodders. Watch them run zone plays and understand that is what our run game is supposed to look like. When Abry Jones (I think it was him or Marcell) split the double team between Incognito and Wood you could see the flaws in their abilities...slow with zero flexibility and bad feet.

Yes this! Kiko made some splash plays but that dude was constantly out of position, terrible gap fits inside Pettine's 3-4.

Of course he should say that. He actually played this year, as opposed to other years.

I would really struggle with that decision. He obviously wasn't the first choice and to stick with him after this type of year with other guys on the market would be insane. Plus he's old. Let's say they turn it around and he decides to retire next year. Chudzinski, McCoy, Ken Dorsey...something like that. If they wanted to keep Dennison around as a senior offensive assistant like they had with Chris Palmer a few years ago I'm cool with that.

I'm down with that but I do think he will be a top target of Gettelman with the Giants

Jerry Dipoto style

Looks like a 2 and a 5 on those two jerseys. I'm guessing they are Jalen Ramsey and Telvin Smith who were both teammates of Benjamin's at Florida State. I do believe that the players get fresh jerseys after every game anyway, but I'm not sure. Those things get beat up.

I think you can have your cake and eat it too. I think McDermott could keep Dennison (that way he can stay loyal) around as a senior offensive assistant and hire Ken Dorsey. Hire a young guy in the role for the first time and have a guy around with a ton of experience like Dennison around. Or look at McCoy or just wait for Rob Chudzinski to shake lose from Indy.

I know you kid but I wouldn't mind Chan. I loved his offense. The defense just was awful those years. Always liked Chan, just wasn't a head coach.

All the articles I found said we interviewed him for the OC position. Maybe they blocked us from hiring him as QB coach? At any rate I think a young guy with a fresh innovative mind is the way to go. I think he has a little McVay, or young Jason Garrett in him.

Good point. I hate the fact that we did not run, but Benjamin ran a terrible route, pushed off, and Tyrod threw a terrible ball. Also the refs threw a flag they never throw on the 1 yard line.

I think McCoy or Chudzinski, or both. A bit outside the box, but I would strongly consider Ken Dorsey from Carolina as our OC. We interviewed him last year and McDermott went with experience. Dorsey is a really creative guy and I like the idea of a young mind on this staff. Someone is going to hire him as an OC at some point soon. Might as well be us.

Pretty much this, but I think we need a starter at guard and tackle. We may need two guards as Richie looked old yesterday. Jordan Mills sucks. I also think we need some real talent at defensive tackle. Kyle is old and teh other guys are JAGs. Next I would say we need a good backup RB. When LeSean McCoy is off the field it's like the offense doesn't work. A lot of work to be done.

I think he goes to San Francisco and plays with Jimmy G.

thought he retired?

Great points. I love the idea of bringing on Mike McCoy and Joe brought up Rob Chudzinski...I honestly try to get both. Overhaul this entire offense with a new offensive staff. And a new QB.

We need more speed here. Brown is just too slow. Milano is really the only guy who fits this defense. Our lack of speed at the linebacker position is really what cost us the game in my opinion. Bortles scrambling could have been limited with more athleticism at the linebacker spot. That and the inability to get to the passer really hurt us. Dynamic, athletic linebackers in the mold of Deion Jones and Telvin Smith are what this team needs. Most importantly we need a Mike. One of the problems is that there isn't going to be much on the free agent market unless guys get cut. My first call in free agency would be to Tahir Whitehead to make him my MIKE. I also try to sign Star Lotulelei, then suddenly I feel better about the front seven. Draft a defensive end with one of the first round picks and you effectively fill some holes.

Jacksonville's defense is stacked with high first round picks. The GM did a great job of surrounding those guys with veterans like Campbell, Jackson, Church and Bouye. It's the value of sucking so long. The difference between Jacksonville and the Browns is that Jacksonville has drafted better. This is Gus Bradley's defense with a couple of vet signings. Marrone had very little to do with that and he seems like a major prick. I'd roll with McDermott and his incessant clapping any day. Obviously.

Rosen and Darnold are the only two franchise type quarterbacks in this draft in my opinion. They fit in any system and while they have some flaws, the huge potential is there. Neither should start right away as they are both just 20 years old, though I do think Rosen could start right away. I think Josh Allen has this potential as he has all of the tools, but he needs a lot of work. Without development he could just be Blake Bortles. I put Drew Lock in this category as well. Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson are really hard to place. They are both awesome college quarterbacks who don't fit a traditional quarterback type. I think you can win with them if you build an offense around them. They are awful fits for our WCO, just like Tyrod. I don't think Beane touches either of these guys personally. Jackson is also just 20 years old. I think they can be good, but you are placing your future on their shoulders and I really think McDermott and Beane are way too conservative for that. After that there are two guys who could be successful early but are probably system quarterbacks Mason Rudolph and Luke Falk. I think they are both good fits for our system but I'm not sold on their physical talent. They may just be slightly better Nathan Petermans or Trevor Siemians, or they could be the next Tom Brady. Then the next tier are guys like Ferguson, White, Stidham, Finley etc. Basically total crapshoots. Therefore think the quarterback next year is a veteran like Smith. I do not think it is Tyrod. I think we try to trade up for Rosen or Darnold. If we can't get them maybe Allen at 21 or 22. If not I think they draft someone like Falk or Rudolph later. I think the QB decision really depends on what we do at offensive coordinator.

If you are the Colts you at least consider 2 firsts and Cordy Glenn for Luck? I guess it depends on how you feel about Brissett.

I know a lot of people like Baker Mayfield, but to me you have the same problem we have with Tyrod. Baker is not a WCO quarterback. He is a guy, like Tyrod, like Lamar Jackson, like Mariota, that you need to build an offense for. Sticking Baker Mayfield in Dennison's offense solves nothing. That's why I like Mike McCoy...he made Tebow serviceable, worked with Manning, Rivers...I think he can make an offense fit any skill set.

Future is very bright. So glad to have the monkey off our back. I told my wife I was wearing my Andre Reed jersey to work if the Bills won. I changed my mind and I am going to do it anyway. The season was a hell of a ride.

If you keep Dennison you need to find a guy to run the West Coast Offense. It just does not fit what Tyrod does well. You can win with Tyrod, but you have to run an offense that fits his skill set. So I think either Dennison or Tyrod go. To me both should go. I think what we do at QB will be dependent on what we do at the OC position. However, I will say that Dennison's play calling sucks and Tyrod's fit in the offense also sucks. The WCO works...it isn't the scheme. See what happened with Jimmy G in San Fran. They were bad and then good and all they did was get a QB who could run the WCO. I probably trade for Alex Smith and hire Mike McCoy. And have McCoy and Smith get together and install the KC offense. Let Smith call his own plays and draft a guy this year. I bet if Reid let Smith call the plays they probably win yesterday.

Gotta give the ball to Shady down there. At least once no?

Yes Bryce Paup!
