Bob in STL

Mike McDaniel sounds like he is making this up on the fly. His description of what his job is as a HC is not even realistic.

Josh and Diggs only need a few reps in each of the next 2 to knock rust off. The starting OL definitely needs to play a lot. Some new players, a new OL coach, a new OC, and lots of OL starters missed camp. The OL is the area I worry about on this team.

Dawson was a class act and a great player that helped bring the AFL to prominence. Those Chief teams of the late 60’s and early 70’s were excellent.

According to Ariza, Haack being there is helping him. Haack is competing and mentoring, something that will gain him respect with McD and staff. I think Haack stays another week and then, barring anything weird in the next game, he gets cut in time to help him catch on with another team.

I thought Deion was a bit overrated. He talks too much. No one talks about Mel Renfro. He was a great CB that was equally good on offense and as a return man. He was a star RB and played both ways coming out of college.

I thought he was going to say his biggest regret was not playing in Buffalo.

Oh, so labor and overhead no longer factor in? We can ignore that? Great advice. NOT.

Robert James. UDFA 1969 Wall of Fame Only played a few years but was dominating with 2x All Pro and 3x Pro Bowl. He was the premier bump-and-run corner; this style lead the league go to the 5 yard contact rule. Many that played against him struggled getting off the line and into the pattern. I think he was a DE in collage at Fisk. A player that could be a force in todays game.

Agree. This thread is off the rails. We live in the era were many people use social media to scrutinize everyone and everything. Full context is often ignored. Hopefully these practices stop in generations to come. No one is perfect. Everyone learns from their past experiences. Some actually put their learning into practice and some do not.

To name a few

He told Von that his family calls him “Maine”. Great name for an MLB, and great question by Von.

Oh, I thought he would be back.

This could definitely be a problem. We might get more Boettger than I care to see.

All those teams and he never got a shot? Three head coaches coach and threes OC's all missed something in him? The Cards are doing ok with Murray, what made them quit on Rosen? The Dolphins are sticking with Tua and putting better weapons around him. At Atlanta, Rosen had Ryan to learn from, that was an opportunity to learn and take over. Maybe it's Rosen that is the problem and not the franchises he played for? I will be surprised if Rosen does anything significant for Cleveland. The Browns do have a running game, they should maximize that and let Rosen manage the game and minimize mistakes.

He should play just one or two series in the last 2 preseason games and that is it. Just enough to take the rust rust off. And no planned QB runs either.

Thus far, Rosen is not good enough to be a journeyman. He has not played enough for that. He is still a bust that is hanging on by a thread. Fitz is the ultimate journeyman. McCown and Hoyer are also journeymen. Usually journeymen have starter status on several teams over a long career and are capable of being adequate.

My Tom Sestak sign on the WoF

Agree on this. I was at both. The Pats* game was sweet but the 1980 game was actually more satisfying to me and Rich Stadium went hysterical. Correct. The one time Jauron was not conservative and was a huge tactical error. This was a terrible home opener. Losing was bad enough, the injury to Everett made it even worse.

RIP Marlin. Great athletic and football player..

Live fire is different than study and practice. Time is limited, there is stress, noise, and no hindsight benefits. To be successful, Real time decisions require everyone in the chain to execute them properly. If they don’t, the decision could look wrong, even it is right. Conversely, a lesser decision could work out with a positive result if the players make spectacular plays, or the opponent fails on their end. Coaches get too much blame and too much credit because the buck rightfully stops with them. Example: Belichick and his OC make way less good decisions without Tom Brady on the team.

It’s not that cut and dry. McD may have called the short kick. The coverage team played it that way so someone called it, you can see it on tape. The call did not get to Bass, that is the problem. That may be on the ST Coach. No one is saying the exact roles each player and each coach have once the HC makes the call.

Byrd, Moulds, Kyle … that’s it.

Very possible, but i didn't see his name mentioned.

None of these players deserves to be on the WoF. Great guys and very good players but the WoF is for the great ones that were standout players in the AFL/NFL during their era of play.

If you have been watching since the 70's then you should know that Fitz's play on the field does not merit Wall of Fame consideration. As a Bill he has a 20-33 WL record and a 78.9 QBR - not the stuff of legends. His 80 TDs are quite good, but then look at the 64 INTs and you start to see the problem. He threw for 3,000 yards or more 3 times as a Bill, and yet we never had a 0.500 record with Fitz at the helm. He has 0 Pro Bowls in 17 seasons. He was a great teammate, a very fine person, a hard worker, a dedicated player, and he had the best beard in Bills history - but not a Wall of Fame player on the football field.
