really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.

If he doesn’t say it’s about money first and foremost then it doesn’t really matter what else he says. The international games are not good for the players or teams or overall product as far as quality of game. Same for Thursday night games. And they clearly start the scheduling process by looking at which games/teams/storylines they can make the most money on, then the rest of the schedule just gets shoehorned in from there.

The Vikings with back to back international games is fascinating. Their bodies will certainly acclimate to the time difference in a two week window, then they come back to a bye week. 

 

That said, if they stumble after two weeks in a row abroad, it could really impact the league's decision making on this in the future. It's not even remotely a big enough sample for a true study, but I think you'll see uproar from owners if this doesn't go well. And as someone who attends every home game, I personally hope it doesn't go well.

he pretty much talks about all that. worth watching. there is a balancing game they have to play and he talks about the decision making process and the issues they run into figuring it all out. 

they have a lot of mouths to feed is what he says. everyone wants their prime time high profile games to broadcast.

      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."

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      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.
