The Falcons wanted to interview an old friend of the Panthers for their vacant OL Coach spot, but were denied.  The Vikings said no to Atlanta's request to interview OL Coach Jeff Davidson (lateral move).

 

Bucs just announced Lovie Smith's contract is a five year deal (no terms).  Darrelle Revis twetted that he's excited to work with Smith (wonder if anyone's told him what scheme Lovie runs yet).

 

Browns coaching interviews scheduled so far: Patriots OC Josh McDaniels, Seattle DC Dan Quinn, Cardinals DC Todd Bowles

 

Bucs GM Mark Dominik remains the only GM fired to this point.

 

Senior Bowl will be coached by the staffs of the Jags and the Falcons.

Giants OC Kevin Gilbride might retire.

 

Doubt there's much danger of anyone from our staff being up for that, though jim Skipper did coach there for a few years.

 

He announced it today. Mike Sullivan is the name being speculated as his successor.

 

 

In other news, Detroit is interviewing Jim Caldwell, but word is they may be waiting patiently for Ken Whisenhunt.

    • We both know there's more that goes into batted passes than just the height of the QB. Most people here have readily acknowledged this and there were numerous discussions about it before we drafted Young. But if you are presenting a POV that Bryce's height hasn't tied to issues with his footwork then there's nothing anyone is going to be able to say to sway you and you know this. Even beyond the footwork I recall a redzone play where Bryce couldn't see around his right tackle at all where a receiver was waiting practically alone in the end zone for a touchdown. There are real world circumstances that are going to show up over the course of the upcoming season and it's up to Bryce and Dave Canales to make adjustments and do anything they can to mitigate negative instances and yes that begins with Bryce's footwork again. Thanks for your time. Have a nice weekend.
    • I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.
    • Jackson actually played quite well for a #2 CB #54 in PFF coverage ratings 12 pass break ups solid in run defense..... Hes gonna be targeted just because Jacyee IS being avoided.
