You can get the Athletic for $2 per month. But it isn’t impressive. It is all columnists mostly, not daily up reporting, not much gets written during the week. Baseball coverage is the same. That’s mostly what I follow. Foot and base ball.

It would be more helpful they differentiated between the play action from the gun and from under center.

Yep. I couldn’t bear to read it all. Hunt is praising him. Derrick Brown is praising him. Reich is praising him to a lesser degree. He says not expected to be offered an extension before next season, but it is paving the way preparing the sheep for the news type of piece.

I would say if we did, it would point to Tepper keeping his hands off and letting his people work. Chances of that? Highly doubtful. I would have to assume Morgan is a 4-3 fan.

We’ll find out soon enough.

yep. They all went to the game last night scouting their number one pick. Brady and I guess Davis and whoever else from the Raiders.

Joe Person has a big piece in The Athletic today floating 3 years 33 million extension for Young. MF’n poo. Noteworthy it has Reich quotes in it. Complimentary too, but that’s Frank. Sure wish he would talk about his time here and why he was fired.

It makes better sense to go offense with a new QB. To me. But I wouldn’t mind the distraction of a DC search for some entertainment.

Evero’s interview is today in Miami. Might be happening right now. They had McDaniel last night. This should be wrapped up soon.

That is my thinking of. Never know, but I would be really surprised if they went defense.

I have a hard time picturing McDermott answering to Canales. .

Yeah the premier job part was pretty funny. But they have that number one pick and it is going to QB. IMO they are gonna follow the script, most likely, and go offensive guy to groom and develop the QB

We don’t have the level of talent to really make a comparison but washed up Jared Allen helped us a lot. Just in spots but he made a difference. Age can be dealt with. Don’t kill their stamina and use them in the high leverage situations, as much as you can orchestrate that. It depends, is he some kind of final piece? Maybe not for a SB but might be a difference maker in your division? If you can work the money out and it doesn’t restrict your other goals in terms of your roster then you probably do it.

Talk about bottom feeding. NYJ and now the Titans? What, Raiders turned him down?

I must have messed some context here. And have had a couple of liters of ale. So I defer to whatever the hell you are talking about. I was talking about where you pick in a draft. Upcoming situation where there has yet to be a consensus ‘best’ meaning for this conversation the 2027 QB draft rankings. A number of possibly viable players. Which devalues the top pick. But it’s still the top pick. And there is the Tepper blind spot. Not knowing. Knot nowing.

Oh yeah. They took him back in NY because of that SB. He proceeded to do the opposite of good. I ate his first PC up though. “You have to put the proper value on the player”. Sounded great at the time.

All things equal #1 is always better. As long as you can freely trade it you have the ultimate chip. Some years it is a better or more valuable chip but it is always the best one for that season. Incould denigrate Tepper here for not knowing that season stuff, but will restrain myself.

well, be real. He was having success and challenging for a SB trip while we were flailing around like usual in the Tepper era. Pick a year that you wouldn’t have traded outcomes with Buffalo.

Was listening to Chris Simms and he thinks Joe Brady may be promoted. A case of ownership thinking Brady could be hired away and they would rather keep him and lose McDermott. Rather than the inverse. Sounds logical to me. Especially given the timeline. It would be late in the game for this to happen if they didn’t have a plan

Lol yeah. I remember. Bull in a China shop persona too. No tact. I loved him when he took Star and KK I thought we were really on to something. I needed more and more chaser to swallow his bullshit as time went on.

These press people want clicks, they will jump all over smoke, no fire necessary.

I looked it up, Tomlin was not promoted from within. 1 season as Minnesota DC. They hired him from there. I was thinking he was internally promoted. So I guess maybe no real need to look at who is young inside their org but that’s where I was headed.

Can’t argue that he knew some stuff. Lifers know poo. Not quite as much as he thought though.

Gettleman sucked.

If they want to know, why ask Tepper? WTF can he tell anybody about football? Not to be harsh towards you, the thought of Tepper and football advice just don’t mix for me. Ask him about shorting the dollar or something. He might be a good fit though. They value defensive oriented guys.
