Manoueverable posted:Most of the appeal of training camp news is about seeing what shakes out from the sheer attrition of all the season ending injuries in the first week. And maybe some holdout drama. I seem to remember the Pats beat watching camp last year and saying “oh no this offense is a Butt Fumble level disaster but it’ll probably come together in the regular season *tugs collar nervously*” It did not come together So my camp wish is for an offense that isn’t visibly dysfunctional and hopeless to a bunch of reporters watching from the stands

Doctor Teeth posted:did it eve come out why the pats had matt patricia as OC instead of DC last year? I don’t know that there’s a deeper reason than Bill likes doing his football homies a solid when he can and he thought it would work. It was never going to work. If you want you can layer on the conspiracy theory that he gets one lump sum to pay himself and his coordinators and therefore avoids naming legitimate coordinators. Which would be insane behavior by both him and Kraft on a number of levels but they are both nuts so  And oof that sucks about Hines and CJGJ. That Lions defense can’t exactly afford to get worse Docjowles fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Jul 24, 2023 |

Those white Broncos helmets whip rear endGatts posted:Don’t the Jets have Breece Hall? Did he get hurt? I assume Dalvin isn’t…Cooked lol They do and he's great, but he's coming off a torn ACL and last I heard is missing camp on the PUP list. So at best he probably won't be at 100% to open the season and at worst starts out on IR. Adding a respectable vet isn't a terrible idea. The Pats rumor seems more pointless since they have like a million RBs on the roster behind Rhamondre, surely one of them doesn't suck (???) They do have cap space to spare though.

Kalli's proposal of combining RB / WR / TE into the same tag number seems good, imo. Nobody tags RBs in that scenario, and they get a shot at at least one post-rookie contract before they're chewed up and spit out

Shinjobi posted:Eagles nearly lost to Cooper Rush, that really can't be overstated. The Bengals DID lose to Rush, as did (less impressively) the Giants, Commanders, and Rams. I have no explanation for this except NFCE Bullshit. If anything you could spin this as an indictment of Dak, that he went down and they didn't miss a beat. The Eagles probably ran a little hot last year, and they indisputably had one of the easiest schedules I've ever seen. They still seem like WAY less of a mirage than the Giants. They have legit stars all over the field on offense and defense. Losing both coordinators is a potential issue although I think Eagles fans would tell you "losing" Gannon is addition by subtraction. Shinjobi posted:Yall never stood a chance against Mahomes. This is a weird take on a game the Eagles very nearly won if any single one of a bunch of things went their way (in before "yeah but they didn't") Metapod posted:People hate him but he's right.

wandler20 posted:28. He was never long for the league with those knees tho. I have mixed feelings on Sony. On the one hand, he was instrumental to the Pats winning their last super bowl, which is the whole goal. Dude went loving HAM in the playoffs including scoring the only TD in that dogshit Pats/Rams SB. On the other hand, I have to imagine they could have found similar production elsewhere. Being Brady's RB tends to make guys look good. And it's brutal looking at that 2018 draft and seeing Chubb right there. (Also Lamar but outside of my fantasies that wasn't gonna happen with Brady still playing at a high level). I'll go with being happy about the Lombardi. Hope his knee issues don't keep him from enjoying retirement.

In case anyone else didn’t realize, it’s an aggregate ranking from a survey of “50 NFL coaches and execs”. Wilson and especially Watson sure seem to be getting a huge pass for last season. Tua feels too low. Agree about Lamar and Hurts as well.

Yeah it brings me no pleasure to day this but I think both Wilson and Hall are budding stars. I mean Wilson won OROY with probably the worst QB play in the last 5 years. Breece needs to actually show it for a full season but he was looking electric before getting hurt. Watson and Jones are good too. But if I was making my own tier thing Wilson at least would be a tier above. “Most TD scored over a 4-game span for a rookie WR in NFL history” is real but also such a cherry picked stat just to set up the bit that he’s Randy Moss 2 (nobody is Randy Moss) Docjowles fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Jul 31, 2023 |

Dexo posted:Prooobably, if only for an audition for another team. I don't think there's anything concrete out there. He got hurt very late in the year. You can certainly argue that they SHOULDN'T play him and tank for Caleb Williams, maybe roll him out there the last couple weeks with the #1 pick locked up to audition for a trade. But that also assumes 1) you can move him and his huge rear end contract, and 2) that a team will willingly and completely tank. The coaches and players just want to win games, see the Texans last year lmbo. Dexo posted:The Bucs are a pretty decent situation. But their quarterbacks are rear end. shirts and skins posted:The Geno blurb was basically, "this is one of the biggest year to year jumps we've measured; he needs to do it for more than one year to be tier 2." Which I think is fair. The hopium case for the Bucs is that they hired "the QB coach who fixed Geno" as their OC. The reality case is that if the dude can consistently turn scrap heap vets into top 10 performers he is a magical unicorn who teams should be paying the $30 mil a year they're saving on quarterbacks

Lifespan posted:I'm really excited to see what Russ does this season. He was great in Seattle and loving awful in his one season in Denver, so either we will learn that he needs a very specific system, needs to not be a part of another specific system, or totally lost it. Payton fixing Russ, or deciding he is broken beyond repair and shooting him in the head, or being unable to do either because he is a massive fraud propped up by Brees is definitely one of the biggest national storylines. We will all have a front row seat. Denver doesn't have half their games in primetime this year thank god, but they still have 4 vs Chiefs, Bills, Vikings, Patriots. Tbh their schedule is full of games that look awesome on paper. And then like the Commanders and Texans I guess. If they can't win one of those, maybe they are in the Caleb sweepstakes and Russ starts trying to compete with Peyton Manning for the Denver fast food franchise title.

a neat cape posted:I don't think Denver is anywhere near the Caleb sweepstakes, even if Russ is broken I may have been reaching for a terrible Peyton/Payton fast food post. Was just saying their schedule looks tough and if they can't even win the cupcake matchups, yikes. Everyone assumes Payton, Russ, or both will figure it out. But what if they don't? What if Evero was more crucial to the defense than anyone realized? The Broncos' floor is still some circle of hell.

Catching up on Robert Mays' podcast and I thought the extremely premature lookahead at coaching candidates was funny. Mostly in that they spent the whole thing talking about how X's and O's don't make a coach, what really matters is the friends you made along the way. Also The Athletic: puts out a 5 part documentary on how all the best young coaches, headlined by Kyle Shanahan, are total loving sociopaths who spend 22 hours a day thinking about Xs and Os. And the other 2 thinking about how to crush everyone else under their boot including coworkers and family in pursuit of their own greatness. I think he also said he could see 10 coaching openings next year which seems... insane? There's never that many, and just looking around the league most of the bad teams already have new coaches. Unless he''s expecting a bunch of dudes like Belichick and Carroll and Tomlin and McVay to all retire I have no idea how you get to more than ~5 Anyway I was mostly just lollin at the cognitive dissonance of "relationships are what matter" and also "Jourdan Rodrigue thought Kyle Shanahan might murder her in his office". We can save lollin at bad coaches for Benne's thread in a couple months

I was considering Campbell, Eberflus, Smith, and McDaniels as part of a rebuilding process and probably safe unless they look like Hackett level hopeless. Same for the first year guys. Gannon was handed a roster that's been stripped for parts, as long as he isn't tripping over his own dick (which uh seems possible based on that pew pew lasers video) he's probably got some leash. Vrabel seems entrenched. I did flat out forget about Rivera (easy to do), who is just keeping the seat warm til the new owners figure out what they want to do. There's often one "holy poo poo" firing too. Maybe it's Fat Mike's year! Balanced by several "are you loving kidding me they kept that idiot" outcomes. So yeah you can come to a list of 10 guys but I think at least half of them are pretty unlikely. PostNouveau posted:Downtown stadiums rule.

Incitatus posted:im still legit confused how the top conjecture for team wants new stadium = racist reasons White flight and putting poo poo out in the suburbs to limit access by people of color and/or lower income from the city has been a thing for hundreds of years in America. When the first highway from NYC out to the Long Island beaches was built, the architect deliberately designed the bridges too low for city busses to pass so only people who owned cars could get there. Less hilariously overt versions of this happen all the time. It's not an insane take. That said I know NOTHING about the Chicago stadium situation or whether there's anything going on with it besides "welp this is where there's space to build a big rear end stadium"

The Jon Bois Vikings thing is good so far. Episode one wasn’t super funny (although there are a few wild rear end stories) but it was very interesting. I don’t know much about this era of football in general or the Vikings in particular so it’s all new to me. He’s done a good job setting the stage for how improbable it is that they’ve never won a Super Bowl.
