Mr. Scot

You missed some sh-t

Can't say that on TV?

Pat Shurmur will be the next.

This conversation has arisen in a couple of other threads, so I thought I'd give it a place. It's generally acknowledged that OC Joe Brady has a brilliant offensive mind. In my opinion, it's fairly evident in his play design. Now with that said, play calling and game planning are different skill sets. It's possible to be very good at writing out plays but not so much at knowing what to call when the pressure is on. It should also be noted that Brady is young, hasn't really been a true solo coordinator before and might still be growing into his job. So I'm wondering, what is people's opinion on how good Joe Brady really is overall in the job of offensive coordinator? Add to that how good you think he potentially could be.

Revisiting this in the light of our third trade in nine days... I can't really recall a prior camp where there was this much activity. There's always some churn of course, but in the past it kind of felt like once we got to camp, the guys we had were more or less who we would go with and eventually whittle down. Maybe a minor pickup here or there but nothing too big a deal. Also mentioned elsewhere that Fitterer doesn't seem to give a sh-t about optics. He had zero problems trading away a guy they just signed in free agency.

From what I've read, there was some thought in New York about using Santoso as a kickoff specialist.

If you get away with it, you're Patrick Mahomes. If you don't, you're Rex Grossman.

Yeah, it's a version of it.

It's actually what I should have said when I asked myself whether or not I wanted to click on this thread

It's been done, but guys with the skill set to do all three are extremely few and far between.

It's basically Payton's version of the WCO. One of Payton's trademarks is a tendency for a lot of rub routes and natural picks to just "accidentally" happen.

Regarding Eberle... Regarding the stache...

When done right, it wins a lot of games. Can't speak for anybody else, but I'd much rather watch boring wins than exciting losses.

Not that it's a big deal, but for the record I only count 79 currently on roster. As far as predicting the final 53, Fitterer trading every other day makes it tough Heaven knows what he'll do when everybody's final cuts are out there.

Which I guess you could say is the bad version of the Coryell

Said earlier it wouldn't surprise me if we called about him too.

Correct. And again, a staple of the WCO.

Slye could very easily wind up resurrecting his career somewhere else. It's a pretty common journey for an NFL kicker. Heck, I hope he does.

We gave up a pick we traded for anyway. If you decide the guy is good enough, you secure him rather than hoping he picks you once he's cut. I got no issue with it.

Backups frequently have fans, hence the joke that the backup quarterback is always the most popular guy on the team. That typically stays true about as long as it takes for them to play in some actual games wherein you get to see there's a reason why they're a backup. In the case of Walker, if at this point you still think he's anything more then a lower tier backup, you likely either don't know the game very well or you're just delusional.

That description fits a lot of young kickers before they hit their stride. We had David Akers as an undrafted free agent but let him go. He went on to have a long and very good career with the Eagles.

He does...and he's right.

I'm guessing Rob Schneider plays him in the movie

If he gets cut, we give up nothing.

The Greg Little trade was just last week.
