I don’t know why anyone’s view of McD would have changed. No one ever doubted he was a great coach who can win games. It’s what happens in January and February that is the issue. I guess we’ll see.
Dirty hit by a dirty player. He saw him going down and purposely lowered by angle and put his forearm out. Could’ve jumped over him. Guy should get at least 6 games. Probably more. Can’t see why the NFLPA would argue against player safety.
Assuming this isn’t outright smokescreen, which is possible, it doesn’t make much sense to play him then. A road game against a non-conference opponent who they still won’t likely beat. Now with poor weather possible. It’s a long season.
It’s not popular and I wouldn’t like to see it, but let Benford walk. Corners demand way too much money and McD’s defense has had success plugging anyone (but Elam) in.
I’m not against a QB in the 3rd round - a complete luxury pick. It’s much too early for us to start grooming the next QB, but I doubt we’d win many games with what’s behind Josh right now. We’ve been blessed by his durability considering how he plays. I don’t think his style of play will be sustainable once he’s on the other side of 30.
Draft a DB. I don’t like giving out $20-30M contracts to corners in this defense. Rasul is going to cost some and Benford is going to get at least $23M but probably more.
