During his press conference, someone asked if he would stay a 3-4 or change to a 4-3. He said he has experience in both, and said they have not made a decision yet. He will go through the draft and FA and get players, and then AFTER that they will see what system to use.

IMO, this shows one of his main flaws, the whole putting square pegs into a circle hole. Instead of signing/drafting players that will fit the system he wants to run, he is going to try and make players fit, and that leads to problems.

Also, they gave him alot of trouble about "3 yards and a cloud of dust", and boring football.

Looks like the media did their research! lol

I was watching it as well... a few things came across my attention.. one being I'm glad he got another shot and think he'll do well there. I'm not sold he'll have the same success as he did here at Carolina.. I think he had a better team here then he does in Denver..

You have to keep in mind that what he was saying was less about fitting square pegs in round holes than saying just the right thing to keep the players happy while they figure out where they go from here..

They could bring in a 3-4 DC.. at the end of the day, like he explained, whether 34 or 43 it's all about filling spaces on the field..

he doesn't want to say he's switching to a 43 and risk losing the locker room... he danced around the Champ Bailey question as well..

"The quarterback situation is better than the one -- some of the ones -- that I've been at."

Owned.

Damn. He played us, joke would be on him if Clausen turns into a good QB. And he had the option to start BSP the rest of the Season, did he? No.

“The quarterback situation is better than the one — some of the ones — that I’ve been at,” Fox said. (Translation: Thanks Jimmy Clausen!)

Fox also likes the wideouts: “This may be as good a corps as I’ve been with,” Fox said. (Translation: Thanks Dwayne Jarrett!)

:lol:

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

      Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
