I'm blanking on who it is, but I know Urban had a big fan on this board.

Also...

 

I found it odd that Greg Roman was virtually completely ignored in this year's HC hiring cycle. Maybe NFL people think Urban is the more important piece there? Or maybe it's just believed in NFL circles that Roman wouldn't make a good HC for whatever reason.

His "unique personality" was brought up a couple of times.

Also possible people believe it's more Jackson being amazing than Roman being smart.

Someone deserves a lot of credit for Jackson's utilization. Try to put that guy in an old school NFL offense and it'd be a disaster.

Not retiring...

 

Larry - "I'm going to retire."

Team - "Here's $11M dollars!"

Larry - "Ah hell my love for the game won't die, I'm in!"

LOL

I thought Marinelli might get a look.  He was Phil Snow's head coach in Detroit.

They were part of that team that went 0-16 though, so...

Rod gutted that 0-16 team in some very important ways.  He went with an "effort over talent" approach and got rid of the talented guys they had on their roster the years before.  Him and Millen were left with an undersized "high effort" group at linebacker.  They paired this with an undersized "high effort" group on the defensive line.  So what do you get when you have undersized defensive ends playing next to undersized defensive tackles playing in front of undersized linebackers?  One of the worst run defenses in NFL history.  Teams ran for close to 3,000 yards and 31 TDs.  They could have done more if they needed to, but many games weren't close so they just milked the clock.

A coach liking less talented "try hard" guys sounds vaguely familiar. Where have I seen that? :thinking:

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
