You know him. He was the guy standing behind Ron in almost every on-field press conference.

It was him, Marty, and Tep who went to Rhule’s house to hire him.

He was with Luke when Luke made that retirement video.

He’s been around for a long time. Players seem to love him but his accedence past PR guy is a little concerning.

I dont know why this is weird... plenty of teams have exective advisors. I think the fact that the article is comparing Drummond to Easterby automatically gives it negative context, but what about:

1. Tom Coughlin
2. Bruce Allen

3. Stephen Jones

4. Sashi Brown

5. Mike Brown

 

Those are just off the top of my head. All serve roles as advisors to the owner of the respective franchise. This is not out of the ordinary.

Who the F is this Drummond guy I’ve never heard of him until an hour ago. 
 

unfortunately, I do know who Jack Easterby is and familiar with the Rasputin like hold he has on evangelical McNair family. Big yikes. 

Drummond is the guy you used to always see chaperoning Cam between interviews and would stand off to the side during the pressers and cue him/them on what was appropriate and when the presser was over and such.  I always saw him but didn't know who he was until last season.  He hasn't been nearly as visible over the last year or so, but that's apparently tly because he went from a communications guy to football ops.  Not good.

Agree a guy who doesn’t know crap ab football besides being a fan and really no formal training in sports administration and talent evaluation …don’t need a guy like that making personnel decisions

So who made the personnel decisions Rhule or Drummond? This is all getting too confusing.

He doesn’t make player personnel decisions. He’s basically Tepper’s right hand guy. 
 

His full title is:  Senior Advisor to the Chairman and Vice President of External Football Operations.

He's a former communications guy who Tepper elevated to Vice President of Football Operations.

He's also one of the three people responsible for hiring Matt Rhule (Marty Hurney and David Tepper being the other two).

I don't know that the Jack Easterby comparisons are fair. Drummond doesn't seem to be that kind of personality.

Now with that said, if Tepper is looking for advice on anything football related, Drummond isn't really qualified to give it.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
