I actually like Bradley, but I know a lot of people don't.

I think he's probably better at running zone than Holcomb, but I don't like the stubbornness about sticking to one scheme and not blitzing. I'd rather take a chance on one of the younger guys to at least keep other teams guessing for a season. As long as the next DC has Chinn closer to the line and lets Horn man up I'll accept it. Also stop dropping DE's into coverage, that trend needs to end asap

Marquand Manuel....OWNERSHIP?    What does THAT mean?

Is he a Team owner that wants to be a DC?

Can they be a bit more clear on what that means?

It means that's who David Tepper might want as opposed to who Frank Reich wants.

I think I brought it up during the head coach search threads, but Tepper and the panel doing the hiring wanted to control Coordinator hiring. I was under the impression it was just for a young coach....but apparently it was full stop for anyone that got hired. Which is stupid and weird. 

Dude gets on my fuging nerves.  I understand wanting to be involved in the sense of being dully informed, but he just can't keep his hands off poo.  We've seen it time and time again in the sports world.  You might've been a good businessman in your profession, but that doesn't make you a good NFL owner.  It's a different business, and sometimes being hands-on with everything is the worst thing you can do.

Him hiring his own guy or preferred guy has all the makings of a disaster.

I think it’s realistic that there would be some candidates management would like. I’m not sure it’s a Tepper thing as all have connections to Fitt. My hope would be that Reich would review and not just go with guys he’s hired in the past. Anyhow, we’ll see what happens.

Tepper vetting candidates for coordinator positions is just the trauma of Phil Snow and Matt Rhule. I don't blame him. Plus, there was a great article in the Athletic about Daboll and his staff and how he didn't necessarily know them all before, but the Giants had a list and recommended people to him. This looks more like what Tepper and crew have done this time. Reich seems in a position to be able to choose but why wouldn't he want help with legwork? If we could have landed Fangio and keep Tabor and Campen, I see that as a win for the owner vetted coaches. Let Reich pick his OC and offensive staff. Without Fangio I don't know who to go with though at DC

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
