This is a bigger deal than it may seem. What Jerry is doing could threaten the entire system - parity, the salary cap, etc. I wonder if this is just his first salvo with an eye toward all of that. He probably resents that he just gets one vote despite a larger market share. I’m very curious to see how this plays out, especially with the collective bargaining agreement coming up for renegotiation. And I can’t help but keep thinking about Mark Cuban’s “pigs get slaughtered” comment. The NFL as we know it may be coming to an end soon...
Donahoe got rid of Pat Williams and Ralph was wise enough to quiz him about “how are we going to stop the run?” Tommy D gave his boss his typical arrogant answer and it came back to bite him when they got gashed repeatedly the next season, Tim Anderson wasn’t cutting it and Donahoe lost his job.
Or something like that happened.
I was wrong about the Rex hire. I liked it for two reasons: (i) I thought he'd continue to pressure other teams' QBs with exotic pressure packages, making full use of our defensive personnel; and (ii) I thought he'd give the team confidence and credibility that would help bring in quality FAs and a playoff mindset.
I didn't realize he'd lost his fastball and wasn't interested in putting in the work it takes to be a successful coach. He literally didn't try - it's so ironic that he's calling out Dareus for stealing money. That's exactly what Rex did here.
Man. I posted in his draft pick thread that the Lawson pick would cost Whaley his job. Many of us expected this from Shaq - not a bad player just a “meh” player who lacks quick-twitch athleticism. We were screamed at here...
He’s not a bust - he’ll last in the league, but he’ll never last here. His second contract will be elsewhere.
Eh, I hear you but - I remember Jimbo getting clobbered on Monday night in Arrowhead, this stuff happens and it can snowball fast during a game. Last week they dominated the Oakland front seven. Lets see how they respond.
