Subtitled: "Who might be looking at Steve Wilks"

This year's whirl might start with an unexpected name. Adam Schefter is reporting that Bruce Arians is "likely" to step down after the Cardinals finish the season.  That'd certainly be an attractive landing spot.

The opportunity we expected Wilks to get looks like it's not happening since the Giants announced they want an experienced head coach.

Word that the Lions might give Patriots DC Matt Patricia a look.  Makes sense since their GM is a former Patriots front office guy so they're probably not looking at Wilks either.

I'm of the opinion Wilks is a great positional coach, above average DC, but has definite HC qualities.  It's why he's been on short lists even before becoming a coordinator and if he interviews well, could very well land a gig.  I don't think Indy or NYG are fits but the Bengals are an interesting team.  If Marvin Lewis is involved in the FO, I think he could very well target Wilks.

Cleveland is in a weird spot (shocking, I know) because ownership wants to keep Jackson but GM John Dorsey doesn't.

I think all of the "in the air" jobs end up open except maybe Houston.

If that's the case, I would still say the Bengals could be his best fit.  He just seems like the type that I can see Cincy wanting to take the reigns to compete against Harbaugh and Tomlin squads.  Solid defense in place and could help change the perceived dirty culture but stay mean.

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
