Harbaugh Leaning Towards NFL Per Schefter

ESPN doesn't want Harbaugh in Carolina.

That much is readily apparent. Fact is he may very well not even be on the Panthers' short list - neither the fans or ESPN's "insiders" have a clue. But to automatically discount the chance is foolish. Carolina does not have a long enough history or enough coaching changes to have a tendency they can reference and to claim that our ownership is cheap based on one year when history shows they will write a check when they feel it's appropriate is simply silly.

This. As Gantt said, Harbaugh is the 'belle of the ball' right now, and who wants to see her go home with Carolina? lol... not the nat'l media.

I'm trying not to buy into the hype and get my hopes up, but I'm really starting to connect some dots here... Think about this, we're the only organization whose owner Harbaugh is actually familiar with to my knowledge, even before all this "JR is cheap" talk. By familiar, I mean that he actually worked for recently. We were the last team that employed him as a player, so he knows JR. Only organization he worked for after that is the Raiders.

So, in my mind, that gives us a leg up on the other teams pursuing him - familiarity.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, if Moore really wants out, then it would behoove the Bears to make it happen sooner than later. X is a lot younger and cheaper, and may be a better fit for Johnson's musings than a disgruntled, unnecessary, overpaid vet. If they can dump his salary and maybe get a fourth or so in return, it may be worth it to them. As for development, I'm not concerned. You're talking about a seeming bust, a day three guy and a UDFA. They are developing relative to their ceilings. I doubt any of them will ever command the coverage, money, or the respect that Moore has acquired. He's a tier above them. Yes, even X.

      OK, now it's time to discuss a couple of yesterday's problems. Let's talk "Evero."

      IMO, if Ceedee plays against us, the game probably goes the other way. Same with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Our team just isn't designed to beat teams with two high level receivers like that. But when you look at the league, how many teams really have two guys of that caliber?  There's nothing wrong with defensive adjustments, but sometimes I think a lot of fans want Evero to call a different play like a game on madden, and defensive football just isn't like that. That said, I thought we did a much better job this season against the Cowboys of flipping Jaycee and at least making them work for it, opposed to last season when they literally just lined CeeDee up on the other side of the field every single snap.  For us to just straight up switch to consistent man coverage, or a different zone, or whatever, we likely would consistently need different personnel on the field. Doing it a few times a game is a gamble and can work, but if we consistently run man coverage against the Cowboys, eventually a RB is going to beat a linebacker, or something of that nature with our personnel. Part of the reason Evero likes this scheme is that, while we have our defaults and presets, what we do is very multiple, and you can do a lot of different things pre and post snap. We are a challenging defense to read. But as you said, if guys are getting beat, it doesn't really matter what you call.
