Some random cherry picking here too. I think I want to say Dan is going to be really good. Continue to be. This thing with Phillips is his injury risk. They took a pretty big chance. But the talent is there. His thinking is good. He learns pretty quickly, we lost out last year with our big FA swing, he did not lose out this year. He seems to be handling Tepper very well, that in itself is a feat. All the people were are signing are young still. Big windows for them compared to 29 and 30 year olds. He will have on odd older one here and there but I bet you it will be a small deal, or a one year deal. To me that is a new way of doing business. And is is a good policy. It looks like he is building a good team, methodically. After this FA period, this could be be a very interesting draft.

I am not reading into Brooks’ situation off of this. As far as what have to work with I believe a pass catching RB helps more than a pass catching TE. Also we need a short yardage hammer. If it is the same guy, okay. Ideally the alternate RB can do a lot of that. The catching.

This was cool:

NM,wrong thread.

I would have been great with him. The ground rules though, were the coach comes from offense. And the latest trend was playcaller so that too. And Bryce is our QB. I am not throwing Canales a parade right now, at all. However, for the sake of argument, if results are the final arbiter? He came in not ready for the job and in year two, technically, they were a division champ. So whatever you think of him, he has some ammo for his cause. This year should tell a lot with the reorganization of offensive chain of command and Bevell on board.

No? Lol. As if you have a clue. Get back to me when you escape that cloud of delusion. The people Tepper wanted to hire wanted nothing to do with job. poo is documented.

He was hired because there was no one that wanted the job. Tepper and Bryce Young in early 2024 after that 2023 season? People they wanted to hire were ducking out of the way. It was openly discussed that maybe we would need to hire one that wasn’t ready and let him grow into the job. And that is what they did.

Notice I did not use his name, and repeated my wish for a Tolbert type. Which for me would completely justify keeping 4 RBs. I am not sure he is what I was calling for, but I am glad to see a bigger back brought in.

We could. If we had a Tolbert type, short yardage beast and good as an outlet receiver, I would probably rather do that than have 7 WRs or 4 TEs

Yeah. Until they know 100% about Brooks they have to replace Rico. At the minimum.

Morgan gave a press conference on FA today.

What won’t happen is people won’t see a real NFL arm putting Bryce to shame on a daily basis so they got that part right.

The main thing Field’s has impressed me with is his attitude after leading Pittsburgh to a winning record and being sat down because Wilson was healthy. He handled it like a man. A pro. I wasn’t sure he would. I don’t know about his actual quarterbacking potential having any real chance to parallel Darnold’s progress.

Warming up to him. I expect good things. Turns out he is from a military family and was raised with discipline and decent manners. Hard to go wrong with that sort of foundation.
