My main takeaway from that is that Josh Klein was right.

Makes up for him being wrong about the new head coach's name starting with 's'

I think others wanted to say it too, but were scared of Rhules wraith.....

Many on here seen it for what it was.....

Anxious to see what it looks like in a true collaboration.

Wondering where those guys are who kept on pushing that idea that Rhule didn't have total control over the roster. 

Come on now. We know ppl don't come to the Internet to escape their echo chamber.

They're likely ingesting vast amounts of copium by pivoting to, "Fitterer knew that he was going to be a yes man. It's still his fault that we traded for Sam Darnold."

Gotta wonder if it is Fitt's "fault" that they got Luvu. It was mentioned during an interview that while watching tape on a Jets player that Luvu was noticed. Can't help but think that the actual scout picked up on him rather than the guy micromanaging the marketing department that changed QBs every season instead of developing one.

I'm still not completely sure that trading for Darnold was as terrible as most think, had we just had a coach that could call a game and develop a QB. There were a couple of games in his first season where Darnold put the team on his back and ran the game -- that Vikings one that he almost made a comeback in really sticks out as an "I'll do it myself, dammit" kind of thing. I'm actually hoping we give Darnold another season here as a bridge QB to see if Reich can get him straightened out while developing someone behind him. And Darnold was, sadly, the best QB we fielded last season.

On the Luvu one, something just tells me that one of our scouts found him and snuck him in under the radar. However it happened, he's been a real find. He fits the mold of a Carolina linebacker.

I recall Luvu being scouted by Kuechly at some point.  

Thought I recalled that as well, but maybe not.

Also glad to hear that Frank is as advertised...a normal NFL guy, not addicted to his own ego.

Relevant note from Albert Breer regarding the coaching search...

After the initial round of interviews, David Tepper asked for everybody to rank their top five candidates.

Everybody except himself. Tepper refrained friend from submitting a list or mentioning his own preferences because he didn't want to influence anyone else's opinion.

That tells me two things.

1) He trusts his top people (in this case Fitterer, Morgan, Suleiman and Kristi Coleman)

2) He's learning

I remember hearing that Jets tape was being watched on a potential target and they kept noticing Luvu. That's so sick if it was Luke!

May well have been...

One of Luke's prime duties as a pro scout was to watch film of other teams.
