From Michael Lombiard, he wrote up the top defense and offense players by position... offense and defense

Definition of a blue-chip player

» Player demonstrates rare abilities and can create mismatches that have an obvious impact on the game

» Is a premier player in the league and a weapon on the field

» Combines competitiveness and skill to have a consistent championship-level performance

» Rates in the top five at his position in the league

Definition of a red-chip player

» Player has abilities that can create mismatches vs. most opponents in the league

» Is a featured player on the team and has impact on the outcome of the game

» Player can't be taken out of the game in one-on-one matchup

» Has a consistent level of performance each week

» Plays at a championship level performance

» Rates in the top 10 at his position in the league

We've got one blue chip on defense, one on offense, and 3 red chips on offense according to Michael Lombardi.

Some of our players getting some nice love on offense! I also think our new tightend belongs up there as a blue chip but I guess with Martz having run the offense for him the last two years, that's my hope and homerism more than anything...

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By panthers55 · Posted

      The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.
