Look, I'm not mad at the guy for doing what is best for him and his family. All I did was offer my opinion about the timing of this situation, and I just don't agree with it. We gave the guy a chance after Philly ran him out of town back in 2010, just expected some courtesy.

 

I'm not sure where you're going with the Hardy thing. Is he actively speaking to other teams right now? No? Okay.

 

It's already happening, so hey, I accept it. I've said my peace.

 

Oh, I don't disagree with you. I had heard another assistant had tabled his interview till after the playoffs (forgot who, and what team). So I get you. 

 

McDermott's scheduled for Saturday. And realistically, you can fly from Charlotte to DC, and back rather quickly (especially by Snyder's private plane, if he uses it). And most of the heavy practice this week will take place (most likely) on Thurs or Friday.

Posted a similar perspective that Growl just gave and felt I had possibly overeacted. I will stand by the one truth that the Seahawks coaches refuse to interview for other jobs until the season is over, and that's everyone of them who have been contacted to interview. You cannot deny it says something about their commitment to the team during this most important time for any franchise.I can understand his desire to advance his career, but still would rather it not have to happen at this time.

Lots of crying in this topic about  a guy whose defense is second in the league. What's he preparing for exactly for that one day he's going to miss? We don't even know who we're playing and the defense isn't exactly broken (just needs rest, which they are hopefully getting).

 

Sean McD was run out of Philly and is of the same line of defensive scheming as Ron. If we lost Sean, so what? It's not like Shula didn't step in for Chud and create an offense that wins games. It's not like someone else can't come in with a weak zone Tampa 2 that only works because of how good our personnel is. Look at our defense in prior years. The addition of DTs and Luke allows for the cover 2 scheme. Tackling won't stop being coached. Hell, with CBs, we might not even use Tampa 2 next year anyway.

McD has done a great job this year, but do people forget how many games our D lost for us in late game situations last year?

 

And you're kidding yourselves if you don't think this is a major distraction.  He's not interviewing to be a cashier at Wal-Mart.  He's going to have to put a lot of prep time into this to get ready.  I'd prefer that he be watching tape on our potential playoff opponents, not watching tape of the Redskins to prepare for his interview.

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.

      there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.
