Coach Tuesday

The Dolphins should interview Brian Flores.

Congrats and wish him well. He frustrated me often but he played a huge part in Josh’s ascent and honestly he’s better then 3/4 of the OCs league-wide. Some of his predecessors here trotted out some weak-ass schemes.

Too soon.

In a heartbeat.

Yeah me too - not sure about "character concerns" but I wasn't crazy about his public griping about his benching, I mean dude you fell down over your own feet and lost the ball in a critical game situation. Get off of Twitter. Maybe spend as much time on ball security as you spend on your BBQ game.

I know it's a common knee-jerk reaction here always, but there does happen to be a team in our division that needs to add some speed at the WR spot and whom McKenzie just happened to play his best against this season...

This staff has a nearly unblemished (aside from the one jerk who quit in the middle of opening day) record of developing secondary players who they draft or sign. Nearly all of them have become the best versions of themselves in this defense under this coaching staff.

Josh is still learning how and when to use the running game - another thread asked what he needs to work on this offseason and I'd say that, understanding better when to hand the ball off, when to keep, when to check out of or into running plays, etc. Obviously this task becomes complicated by a likely OC change.

Let’s face it we’re just in the wrong simulation, there are many versions of “reality” where the Bills won that game, we just happened to be trapped in the simulation where the improbable happened. That help?

Just amazing his career arc. Went from riding Marrone’s sidecar from Syracuse to Buffalo to Jax. Was the first heavy object sacrificed off the side of the boat by Marrone and somehow landed in Rogers’ sidecar and parlayed that into a head coaching gig. Sometimes picking the right horses is all the talent you need. Just incredible, a Great American Success* Story.

What a world.

Why because he yells and drools on himself? Their LB corps was a mess this past season. Never understand why fans still pine for this guy.

good grief

Beane confirmed what many of us @Simon have been saying all year which is that they viewed Oliver as their most consistent d lineman in 2021.

I am with you I just don’t think they are. McFrazier would cut off his arm before he’d part with one of those two.

They have two All Pro safeties they LOVE and two young guys they’re very high on as well. Unless you’re talking about an upgrade from Neal I don’t really see them going in that direction unless some blue chip prospect falls into their laps on draft day.

My read is that they’ll make Cole an offer he’ll have to refuse.

Anyone have a link to this?

You raise a good point which is that if this had happened in Dallas or NYC the head coach would be Dead Man Walking, for better or worse.

Not just “some fans.” The FO has basically admitted they focused last offseason on stopping the Chiefs, specifically, which helps explain among other things the second round pick on Basham (because protection and pressure became an issue for KC in the Super Bowl) - as if it didn’t occur to the FO that perhaps the Chiefs would improve their o-line to the point where it would be more important to outscore them or cover their fast guys.

Interesting. So draft a corner high and some good WRs will be pushed down. Fine with me but if a special elite receiving talent like Jameson Williams is sitting there at 25 I probably still pull the trigger.

The Denver Broncos are about to sell for close to $4 billion dollars. With that kind of brand value at stake you simply cannot have glorified gym teachers screwing up basic game strategy decisions like this - it is 0% acceptable.

Odd to see the financial info made public for a GM hiring, no?

I think they legitimately like their young d linemen. Oliver is a star, Harry had an insanely good run to end the season, Rousseau already is one of the best run defenders in the league as a rookie, and Basham showed some real juice toward the end of the year. They need a bit more depth at d tackle and they need one impact edge rusher to emerge. May or may not be Epenesa (who appears to be the only one in this group with real bust potential) - could be a twitchy tweener OLB they draft or find in the dollar CD bin in free agency. Star, Addison and probably Hughes moving on will open up spots for younger guys. Overall I don’t see d line as an issue and don’t think the Bills do, either.
