For the Anti-Tankers: Can you provide a legitimate reason that this team should not have tanked last year?

Flores was fired, thus his lawsuit, so again any smart coach has no incentive to lose games. 

When you ultimately get fired for losing games. 

Hard to justify firing a winning coach. And likewise much more easier to get another job.

hahahaha people still using this article about a failed lawsuit from a disgruntled coach who was simply an awful coach and tried to use this as an excuse to why he was so awful.

"they told me to lose!!!"

tanking is the biggest myth in sports and the only people who believe it also believe the WWE is still real.

He wasn’t the only one apparently. If you were wining you wouldn’t tank. If the season is clearly lost or you are out of the playoff hunt, that’s when you make weird decisions like the Eagles did that got Peterson fired a few years ago.

Remember when the Eagles benched their QB to see what they had in a third stringer? And the players spoke out against it after the game? And the coach got fired after that? That’s tanking.

which year are you referring to? that is not tanking. evaluating other players is not tanking. get a grip.

    • I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.
    • From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"
    • Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
