McDermott to Philly speculation already starting


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

I LAUGH at those worried and wants McD to stay! 

 

Wilkes was the first choice of Rivera when this whole thing started here. Wilkes is Riveras first choice. Its CLEAR wilkes would be the successor. Wilkes worked with Rivera in SD and had the #1 degense. Itll be addition by subtraction folks. I HOPE McD goes to philly

Which portion would be a lateral move?

Thought you meant Shula following McDermott as his OC.  My mistake.

He was given a new title and a raise last year when they gave Kelly the grocery basket. He is still pretty young but is now getting an increase in power to match the job title he got last year.

That was a bit of an illusion.  He got the title but had, at that point, lost the power struggle with Kelly for control of the team.

Those two had an odd relationship.  Roseman hired Kelly.  Kelly essentially took Roseman's job.  Now Kelly is gone and Roseman is back in play.

I kinda wonder if Roseman's relationship with Jeffrey Lurie is a little awkward now.

No sorry probably wasn't clear. I was saying Shula could possibly get a HC gig as well as McDermott, thus leaving the vacancy for Proehl. My bad.

I too wonder if McD would return to a place that treated him the way they did.  Also, the roster/personnel/contracts resembles a dumpster fire that Chip set in motion two seasons ago.  A good young WR core, but QB issues and an aging RB that isn't the same behind that brilliant Dallas offensive line.  Defense has an oft-injured LB and a secondary that is overpaid. 

That being said, he makes too much sense there given his past and his name couldn't be any hotter than it is right now. There are deficiencies to our defense that we know about, but the top teams usually get poached, and again, the Philly connection is too logical.  

I'd feel very confident in Wilks taking over the helm.  I'm a huge McD fan, but Wilks and Rivera will keep this defense afloat.  Throw in a 1st round DE/SS and/or a top flight FA at either position as well, and this defense should hopefully not skip a beat.

 

Their OL isn't that bad. They just need to improve the interior (guards) which could be addressed draft or FA. It sucks they're stuck with those linebackers (due to their contracts). I thought Jenkins and Thurmond played well earlier in the season.

I haven't really gotten the impression that too many are worried,  more so just find it interesting to speculate and discuss.

    • The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman. 
    • And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!
    • If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
