When I look back at this season and the memories I’m going to have, the highs and lows, there were a lot of situations to learn from. That’s one good thing that going 2-14 can get you. You definitely appreciate those wins more when they come, and you value those opportunities when you get to play in meaningful football games.

If you’re going to go 13-3 you’re going to need a little luck. I don’t want to downplay what the Falcons have done, they’re not just lucky to be 13-3, but it was Week 17 before they had to make their first roster move of the year. The group of guys they put together at the beginning of the season stayed healthy and stayed together for 16 weeks. That is a blessing that can’t be controlled by the organization, by the coaches or by the players.

...thoughts on Rivera:

As far as our new head coach, I just want to say that I had the opportunity to meet Ron Rivera when he was with San Diego and they brought me in before I was drafted. He’s an upstanding guy with a great personality and I hear he has one of the better football minds in the game. That was further validated by Chris Harris, who played safety for him in Chicago. We talked about Coach Rivera a few times and how he did things in Chicago, and Chris never had anything negative to say. I think he’s going to be a great head coach.

he a FA? we should be able to get something for him.. a 3rd isn't too far fetched is it?

sounds to me he threw a lot of our lack of success on the back of injuries. the only injury that can be used is Otah not making it back.. all the rest were late in the season.. or none had a big impact to cause a downward spiral during the season..

yeah, he seems to have a pragmatic view on the state of the panthers' LB's. not sure if anything will happen this offseason with Connor, but perhaps after the CBA is sorted out the FO can find some suitors or perhaps another prospect to exchange for him.

Sounds like he's not looking to move back outside. I get the feeling he will be completely ready for a new start next season, and as the unquestioned leader of the defense, that is a very good thing. I expect him to be ready to go and form a winning defense whenever the players are allowed back in the locker rooms.

side note, this would be an awesome year to have OTA's and minicamp to get players up to speed on the new "way things are."

Unless the CBA is ironed out before the draft, teams will be unable to trade players. Therefore, any trade we made with Connor would have to be after the draft and for future year picks.

I see.. how does that work with FA? everyone has to sit tight until the CBA is formed?

I might have to expect the FO to go BPA in the draft regardless of need and attack our needs through FA once they open up.. although, both could go hand in hand..

only way they could go I think..

this means Orton could be had for next year draft picks.. interesting, I think I might have to go troll this info.. ;)

I've always said trade him to a 43 team that's transitioning to a 34 for a D lineman that doesn't fit their scheme. It's win/win.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
