I realize COULD is an important word here but it stinks we are likely to lose Washington or Holcomb. Both are GREAT position coaches.  I'm sure Garafolo didn't just just a name out of the hat either, he's been told they are working on it.



MORE SMOKE TO THIS
 

Holcomb is a bigger loss than most will think.  Look at the LB he has developed  :  Kuechly, Davis (obviously not his whole career), Klein, Thompson, and now Mayo looks promising.

I mean, Holcomb coaches Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis - might be the easiest job in the league? LOL

Make fun all you want but don't you think he had something to do with helping develop them.  The answer, of course, is yes.  He is a hell of a coach.

I'm sure he's a good coach, I'm also sure Rivera can find another good coach to replace him.

Why are we worried about losing Holcomb? He was a QA guy or something the year before we hired him. Luke was entering his 2nd year here. Holcomb didn't develop anyone. I guarantee Luke and TD are more important to Klein, Shaq, and now Mayo's growth. Holcomb probably learned more than he taught.

Not saying he isn't a good coach but Luke and TD just need a guy to run them through drills and offer some outside perspective from time to time. Those guys coach that group.

If that was the case, I doubt McDermott would make him his DC in Buffalo.  While I agree, Luke and TD don't need much coaching, I'm sure he had a larger say in the defense as a whole than you'd think (especially in light of McDermott's decision)

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.

      Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
