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.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      I agree, but I've already said that the players will definitely take more money up front because it's more security. But they want more guaranteed money and NFL FOs don't want to do that for several and various reasons, and that's what's at issue.  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-second-round-rookies-finally-starting-to-sign-what-took-so-long-and-what-it-means-for-future-contracts/ It's a tug of war between teams and players, and, sure, paying a player a signing bonus may satisfy them, especially if--and sometimes "only if"--it ultimately leads to a guarantee of more of their contract, but the teams are on the hook for all of those guarantees when cap time comes, so if they guarantee more money, they're ultimately losing the contract game.

      C Mc. Gotta love this guy!!

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
