What brilliant thing has belichick done since Brady walked out?

Was it replacing offensive coaches with defensive coaches?

Someone show me how me how he's currently smarter than everyone else.

He cheats better--spy cams and deflate gate.  Cutting edge

I'm happy for Corral.  He has a little talent and I would have preferred him be the back up rather than Andy Dalton.   Dalton gives us no chance at developing an asset behind Bryce.  If Bryce gets hurt I would much rather have Corral being developed so maybe we could get something in return for him down the road.

We drafted Corral knowing that he wasn't running a pro style offense in Ole Miss.  We knew that he was going to take time to develop and transition to an NFL offense.  It's the same thing we did with Will Grier.  I think, just like Grier, we have another player that we pulled the plug on their development too early, and he will end up being a good backup.  

When you draft qbs out of spread offenses in college, it take abouts 3 seasons for them to fully adapt to the pro game. If we weren't willing to accept this then we should have never drafted him to begin with, but that's a Fitterer mistake.  

When it comes to GM's, their track records shouldn't be judged on 1st round picks, those are easy, but rather the later rounds.  Fitterer has an absolute dogshit track record when it comes to mid to late round picks.  He has also traded assets to move up for these picks that haven't worked out.

Some of the picks like Grier, may have worked out, but Fitt was too impatient to allow the development to happen.

Dalton being the backup is to best develop our most important asset - Bryce.

Really not any different from the Hurney years but still people hype him up. After all the "Finesserer" circle jerks it turns out we're the ones getting finessed more often than not.

Apparently Corral was not released. He went AWOL after a practice and the patriots couldn’t locate him for 2 days. Terrible.

Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reported Corral left the team late in the week without notice. Greg Bedard of Boston Sports Journal then added more context to an increasingly bizarre situation.

“The Patriots could not put him on that list unless he literally left the team,” Bedard wrote. “From what I’ve been told from a league source: Corral disappeared after Thursday’s practice and no one could find him for two days … that would seem to indicate that they found him. They have not released him.”

Bedard added: “Corral went AWOL.”

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
