Sweet!!! Sucks to lose McD, but Wilks should slide in nicely.  Did some wonderful things with JNo, Bradberry, Coleman, etc.  Give him Adams/Hooker or Barnett/Thomas on the edge and watch this defense return to prominence. 

Next questions now - Will Washington follow McDermott to Buffalo? That would be a huge blow if he does.  

Who takes over for Wilks.... saw some people saying Tillman or Harris.

The obvious choice.  Maybe he'll do something to keep us from blowing so many huge leads in the second half.  Actually kinda happy with this.  Would have much rather seen it on offense, but the team needed some type of change.  Wilks has clearly earned this opportunity

Very excited to see how he does. He is one of the best coaches in the NFL (I think) and I hope he doesn't move up to being a HC too  quickly, because he has the chops for that too.

I'll be interested to see if he brings in some new faces even beyond replacing guys that McD takes with him.

I'm excited to see his take on Rivera's base defense.

Probably assistant defensive backs coach Curtis Fuller. Would be great to see Tillman get on the coaching staff officially as an assistant.

      Mnf uniform combo White uni. Black helmet & socks

      I think those silver helmets look great. The logo is fairly primitive looking but I understand why it is used.  The dayglo type blue top/bottom, I think looks like a cartoon. IOW not good. White on white is a classic look, no issue. Black on black I can take but prefer black pants with a blue top. Or white pants with the blue top.  That is about as much fashion content as I am comfortable posting. Maybe go to E or Bravo for this stuff.

      Remember when the NFC South was the toughest division (circa 2002-2006 when every NFC Championship game featured one of the four of us?)

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By strato · Posted

      You are a fair point argument guy, but I disagree that Bryce got us out of that Miami hole. You know who Rico Dowdle is, right?  Just a small quibble.    IMO when I look at him and see his output in a typical game I imagine what he did that a replacement level guy wouldn’t or couldn’t have done.  And I have trouble seeing much difference.  So assuming they can’t replace him with someone’s backup, not everybody’s but there are guys sitting, assuming they can’t replace him for probably less money would potentially be an erroneous assumption.    But based more on his relationship with the team and the guys making the decisions, the question of will they? I tend to see them sticking with him.  I never wanted him at all. But after all the misery of the Bryce era so far, I don’t have a problem with waiting until the season is complete to decide. Bring it on, I can take it.  So I am not ranting that he needs to go, although I have certainly done that and can’t say he has changed my mind to this point.  He still could.  We’ll see.
