But the biggest factor was in 2022 our coverage was good. 2023 it was almost worst in the league. There is a symbiotic relationship between coverage and pass rush. With receiving targets always being open….QBs weren’t holding on to the ball as much. Hence pressures more than sacks. Bradberry situation alone was massive. Was fantastic in 2022…garbage in 2023. If the CBs are locking down the targets? The pass rush gets home. Again... if you pay attention... I never said Reddick was a bad player. I just don’t think keeping him ...giving up everything we discussed in order to keep him.... was the right move. You need to stop taking every comment to the extreme. I don't think Hurts sucks...don't think Reddick sucks.... we can critique aspects of their games and results without thinking they suck. Really Sanders is the only one I think actually sucks.

Mostly just was it Fangio being anti-Reddick or so very pro Huff and Hunt? Or both? I feel like I have come across strong intel on Fangio loving Huff and Hunt. Not really uncovered the anti-Reddick part. Why is it " anti Reddick "? Why not pro $13 mil, day 2 pick and more snaps for the other guys?
May 31, 20241 yr I think every offseason provides opportunities. You are locked in on guys signing deals and if you like them having them finish out the contract. I look at it as ...thanks for playing well...but are you worth keeping if I can open up better options if I move you. Keeping you is a good option...but moving you is better. That's what I see with moving Reddick.

That's what I see with moving Reddick. That’s where the backloading of contracts plays a heavy role. Rosie can sign and bring in new blood and only take a 3 mil cap hit on good size contracts. So this will always be an appealing option.

Not really... it didn't effect Reddick one bit. 3 years 45 mil 2 years $32.2 mil. They saved the $13 mil, which is less than the $15 mil per..wasn't like it was 20 mil savings. Don't over think it.
May 31, 20241 yr With Reddick it comes down to I’d like to win the SB. Having our top pass rusher I see as aiding that goal. Losing him and Cox feels like we took a step backwards along the Dline. Just simple and basic as that. Huff broke out with his career season. But how much of that reflects from being on a very talented D with the ex-Niners D mind as HC? Sauce Gardner locking down the receiver aids the pass rusher…that symbiotic relationship I previously was referring to. Plus he just came in super fresh only to pass rush.

May 31, 20241 yr Lol.. Google Kelce talking about the playbook and how he didn't look at it once since they went to iPad. Said the rookies will have zero problems picking it up. Gotta love a dude that keeps it simple.

What does Fangio, Siri, Howie and Lurie think.... you think you want to win a Superbowl more than them? You don't think they made the decision because they think it's best for the team?
May 31, 20241 yr Just now, cunninghamtheman said: Saved 13 mil by having our best defender play for the Jets. Again...say 3 years 15 million each year....it would have saved $15 million to have Reddick ( who isn't our best defender) play for the Jets. No extra savings by unloading Reddick due to any method you think Howie did for that contract.

Jason did acknowledge the difference in their positions and how that impacts the need for the playbook. "It's different in the pass game. In the run game we've got like four or five new concepts a year," Jason said.
May 31, 20241 yr 5 minutes ago, cunninghamtheman said: This comes after the Eagles were reportedly fielding trade calls on Sweat, who is entering the final year of his contract Ohhh. " fielding calls" because other teams were inquiring. Not that they publicly gave permission for Reddick to seek a trade... but they were not hanging up the phone without a conversation that the other team started about Sweat. I see.

May 31, 20241 yr What Jason Kelce said is he hated the way they try to describe and install the plays in the playbook. Nobody in their right mind goes out there 'play side gap comma number two.' No! The center and the guard are going there, I got this motherf-----," the former Eagle said.

Yeah... in short... it's simple football, no need to over complicated things. Its not rocket science. Love the comment... the podcast is great.

That’s why he’s talking about how he doesn’t need much explanation on run plays …but pass plays are different. Jason understood Inside and Outside zone runs without needing to dive into his playbook constantly.

So Sweat is so much more coveted than Reddick? You can’t actually believe that. Fielding calls for the player understood to be available for trade.

Pretty funny how Travis is talking about even under the same guy AR this whole time still adding plenty of stuff. Really sucks we don’t have him as our coach anymore. He freakin owned Gannon in that SB.
