    There they go again >> 2 games = 8 sacks

    The scary part is PFF ranks Ifedi as our second best pass blocker. PFF pass pro grades vs Pitt are in: Brown - 61 Ifedi - 57 Britt - 50 Iupati - 37 Fluker - 14

    It's Time to Dispel the Myth

    These are great fan discussions, because there is no right or wrong argument. Since there are only two offensive plays, you have to call (by default) either a passing play or a running play. The only correct call (from a fan’s perspective) would be the play that results in a positive outcome...

    When do the other dominos fall?

    This happens with franchised players, they sit out all or most of training camp (say until games three or four of preseason), then sign. This limits their chance of a preseason injury and gives their agent a little leverage towards negotiating a long term contract. Absent a contract or trade I...

    When do the other dominos fall?

    I’m with Montana here, even 2015 Frank Clark wasn’t as good as 2018 Frank Clark. The chances of drafting a replacement (outside a top ten pick) is very wishful thinking. Whether he’s elite or not is a moot point in my opinion, he’s young, he’s already better than average, he’s getting better...

    Is it arrogance?

    Fans are fans, and most of us have played, coached, or watched the game most our adult lives. In the simplest terms, we all know if your team has 22 players that are better any other team’s 22 players your team will win the most games. Unfortunately, the NFL has spent years devising a system...

    Earl Thomas to hold out until contract resolved

    He has to be eyeing Berry’s contract (he mention it at the time in ‘17) “The Chiefs signed Eric Berry to a six year, $78 million contract on February 28, 2017. Berry received $40 million in guarantees including a $20 million signing bonus and the base salary of the first two years of his...

    Hasselbeck, Holmgren & Nordstrom: PNWFHOF

    Most fans recognize the names, some were around for the Holmgren/Hasselbeck years, but few know the always humble, always cordial, mostly quiet and reluctant 51% owner of the Nordstrom family partnership, that was the founding of the Seahawk franchise. I could expound for thousands of words on...

    Pick #120 TE Will Dissly

    In Dissly’s defense he’s only played TE at the college level for two years. He has a lot more to learn and is hardly a polished product as a blocker or a pass catcher.

    Brian Schottenheimer

    It makes absolutely zero sense to have your OC and HC with different visions on how the offense should be run. If you want a different vision you change the Head Coach.

    Doug Baldwin interview on ESPN's First Take

    All these is very true and a very big picture view, but ultimately it is about players executing. You can (theoretically) have the greatest OC, calling the best play ever developed and if the QB misses a read, lineman jumps offsides, RB doesn’t see a cutback, or the WR drops the ball, the play...

    Video of Potential OC

    What you say may be true, but your conclusions are not. By rule OC’s (or QB coaches for that matter) can not make lateral moves without the controlling teams permission, so it doesn't happen all the time. Whether Carmichael calls plays or not doesn’t change the rule, so it’s entirely up to New...

    Video of Potential OC

    Actually, the real question is does he have the patience to wait before taking on a Head Coaching gig. He's going to be offered one, but will he decide to take the most logical step and try an OC spot first. Going to Seattle allows him to hone his offensive play-calling skills with a potential...

    Video of Potential OC

    DeFilippo is a QB coach whose contract is over at the end of the season. This makes him available to talk to any team for any position he feels capable of performing including a Head Coaching position. Carmichael is under contract and is a wishful pipedream (albeit a nice choice) brought up by...

    NFL Anti-Tampering Rules

    Just by the nature of the Anti-tampering rules an OC to OC move seems pretty unlikely. I suspect they are looking at either freeagent OC’s (currently not under contract) or lesser assistants that have had play calling experience in the past. I would hope Pete would be looking for someone he...

    OC Candidates + Further Questions

    Lombardi was a name I mentioned earlier in the thread, the fact that he was Stafford’s OC for his best, or at least his only pro-bowl, year is a bonus. Apparently he and Stafford had a rather apathetic relationship, "Stafford never really bought in to offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi,"...

    NFL Anti-Tampering Rules

    The lack of interview announcements makes me think (hopefully) they have their eye on someone still in the playoffs.

    NFL Anti-Tampering Rules

    This may all be true, but it’s still up to New Orleans to decide if it’s in his and/or their best interest to allow him to make that lateral move. This of course assumes his contract runs past this year, and I have no idea what, or how to find out, his contract status.

    While I would disagree with some of your takes, he is a viable candidate, that runs the same scheme that Carroll prefers and had success doing it.
