It's expected by most that Rob Chudzinski will take Scott Turner with him to Cleveland.

Worth noting though that Norv's son may not be the only guy who goes.

Chudzinski may well try to take some others with him. And if you're combining your thinking on that to the offensive side of the ball, think again. The Browns are going to need defensive staff too. Like many new head coaches, it's reasonable to expect Chudzinski may cast an eye toward his former employer.

The good news? The Panthers would have to grant permission for anyone Chudzinski wanted to interview. But with that said, Chudzinski amd Coach Ron Rivera are on good terms and the team has generally been willing to allow coaches to seek opportunities to advance. It's possible they may even allow guys to look into lateral moves as well.

And while we're focused on the flux caused by Chudzinski's departure, let's not forget the team already had three positions to fill before any of this happened. Four if you count Special teams Coach, and given that the team just interviewed Dave Toub, I'd say you should.

Yeesh :unsure:

We all knew we were going into next season with a new GM, but outside of that I'm pretty sure the vast majority of us expected most everything else to remain relatively calm. Instead, this offseason is turning out to be wilder and more unpredictable than anyone expected.

And it's not over yet.

new OC could set this offense back. I'm even less confident in rivera than i was last week.

Possible, but improvement is possible as well.

We'll have a better idea once we see who gets the open jobs.

(and who else departs, and who replaces them, and...aaaahhh screw it, I'm going to bed)

I held my breath when I clicked this topic, hoping it wasn't a PT bi-polar rant. Instead it was an awesome well thought out Mr. Scot thread! Life is awesome sometimes!

This offseason has been very tumultuous, given how quiet everything was leading up to this week. New GM, fired assistants, OC gone to the browns. This is really an interesting time for us fans. I can't wait to see how it all pans out.

One final tidbit for the night.

Being reported that Chudzinski plans to have a 3-4 defense in Cleveland.

For the record, DB coach Steve Wilks would be familiar with a 3-4 system from the years Rivera ran one in San Diego.

you just want to add to the stress level, don't you?

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
