Mr. Scot

Dan Orlovsky picked up on a problem after a relatively small amount of film viewing. The more film there is for opposing DCs to watch, you can imagine what's going to happen.

But he has to help save the coach's job

Not for anyone else, it isn't...

I'm not seeing him talked about as much this year but he could be. Rivera didn't interview well, but I never heard of anyone attributing red flags to him.

There's something there. Maybe it's the criminal record. Maybe it's his personality. Maybe it's something none of us knows. But it's there...

Also Wisconsin...

Dude...it's not happening

Young offensive options: Ben Johnson, Brian Callahan, Shane Steichen, Ken Dorsey Defensive coaches: Demeco Ryans, Jonathan Gannon, Patrick Graham, Jerod Mayo Guy I like best: Rich Bisaccia Second choice: at the moment, Don Martindale Guys I don't think are ready: Byron Leftwich, Kellen Moore Guys I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole: Eric Bieniemy, Sean Payton Guy I think probably gets the job: Dorsey

Pretty sure Dodds wasn't willing to work under Matt Rhule. Funny thing is since then the Colts have started trending in the wrong direction, especially with the Carson Wentz trade. They're trying to fix it with Matt Ryan but the jury's still out on that.

I think you're letting what happened with Beane cloud your judgment a little. That, or Morgan fanhood. Morgan doesn't have the scouting experience Fitterer has, nor the interview experience for that matter. He's only had one interview that I know of. That was with the Steelers, who basically interviewed everybody. At this point, he's not really on anyone's "hot list" and I don't expect this season will help his cause much.

"We will respond. We always do." (still trying to figure out when that was supposed to have happened)

You know what? Scratch that... Cam Rising clearly needs to be drafted by the Buccaneers

I wouldn't bet on it.

To be fair, that might happen anyway. Gotta figure that unless he sh-ts the bed over the next 13 games or so, Morgan could reasonably be expected to lobby for him. Our old buddy Greg Olsen is a big Dorsey fan too.

Morgan. From just after Fitterer was hired but before Morgan came aboard... Morgan, now the Bills' player personnel director, first met Fitterer when he joined the Seahawks as a scouting intern in 2010. Fitterer was ascending the college side of the scouting department there, but was eager to help teach the new guy about the business. "He was very helpful to me when I first got there," Morgan said. "All those guys were really good with me early on, but he took me under his wing when I was new and was willing to let me pick his brain about college scouting and what he did. And to be clear, besides being co-workers, the two of them are good friends. The professional respect is clear, but it's hard for Morgan to draw the line between his friend and his former co-worker. Fitterer's a guy who helped teach him the scouting business, but he's also the guy he travels with in the offseason, building the kind of relationship that develops as you pack the cars and hit the road together. Just before he moved to Buffalo in 2018, Morgan and his family went to the Oregon coast with Fitterer and his family, just a couple of dads on vacation with the wives and kids, shooting off Fourth of July fireworks and having a great time. "He's just a cool dude," Morgan said. "You guys are going to love him. And, he's going to do a great job." Former Panther great Dan Morgan vouches for friend and mentor Scott Fitterer I'm not so certain Morgan would be all that high on the idea of getting a promotion at the expense of Fitterer.

I've heard good things about Utah quarterback Cameron Rising too. And besides the name, there's this... If he wins a game, he can tell his opponents "You will always remember this as the day that you almost..."

It was Ed Dodds who dropped out early, likely because he wanted full control. Peters made it to the second set of interviews but then the Niners offered him an elevated title and a pay increase.

They "always do"? When exactly did that happen?

That's not where he got his start. Look again. While you're at it, look up who he credits for teaching him how to scout players.

Fitterer is the reason Morgan is here.

To be fair, that guy was a moron.

Unless you're framing Marty Hurney and Steven Drummond as "experts", he didn't. And when asked about it, Tepper said he didn't need help from anybody outside the organization.

The website? Sure. Us tanking? Why would we need to?

Why didn't he do it last time? Why did he specifically state that he didn't need to?

No begging. The way Tepper told the story, Marty just gave him a look that he understood to mean "this is our guy" and at that point they all went into "recruiting mode". He also related that he just "had a feeling" Rhule was going to be to the right guy for the job.
