Campen was a fine add.  I still largely look at the top of the food chain if I were to rank the 32 NFL staffs. 

I at least think I give Snow decent credit.  I don’t go around trashing him.   And I’m not shy about doing those things, I’ve always said he has been the key to Rhule’s success.  Which he clearly had in college.  But I wouldn’t call him a great NFL DC. 

I think the staff is improved.  But I consider it bottom 3rd of the league.   So I wouldn’t call it great. 

Fair enough, since we aren't going to know one way or the other until we start playing for keeps. 

Potentially

I was pretty excited about getting Campen. He's well respected around the league and has a solid resumé. 

If there's a downside to him, it's that the last two or three head coaches he's worked for have all been fired after one season with him.

(granted, some would say that's not necessarily bad) 😐

As far as Snow, i kind of feel like the flipside of what was said. In my opinion, it's been the talent we have on the defense carrying him while his schemes are weak.

I get the sense that we were bested in individual drills but proved better in team competition.

Not necessarily a bad thing...

I walked away with that, too.  It's a team sport, so I'll take that as a win. 

The Pats have had a lot of successful teams in the last 20 years that might not have won a lot if individual drills, but put them on the field together and the total was a lot greater than the sum of the parts.  Not a bad situation to be in.

Speaking of coaching staff, I get the impression that the  lesson Belichick may learn this year is just how good Josh McDaniels was.

(or at the very least that Matt Patricia isn't exactly on the same level)

When this commercial came out... my boss at the time's name was Michael Dumarr. However, I called him Mr. Dumbass. This was the only timein my life where it was forgiveable to call my boss Dumbass.

I've said a thing or two in prior jobs that I could have (or arguably should have) been fired for.

I thought McDaniels was probably the best choice in the last round of coaching interviews.

I'm not absolutely certain he's going to be a great head coach, but I feel pretty comfortable saying then in the OC transition from him to Matt Patricia, there's going to be...a dropoff 😕

A lot of whining about our beat reporters. Personally I think we have a lot of good writers, Joe is great over at the Athletic, Ellis is great at the Observer, Panthers.com has a lot of well written pieces.

What we don’t have is the “breaking news” crowd.

I take writers over breaking news tweets any day, but maybe I’m old school.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
