I don't disagree that Ojomo can step in and do great. But one, you lose proven Superbowl quality depth and two, you have to pay Ojomo most likely, next offseason with an extension after the great year he has. So you defer this decision for one year probably. So you will have to pay one of these 2 studs one way or the other. Ojomo will only get more expensive if he does what you think he will. Have to pick one or the other going forward. Can have both for the next 2 years guaranteed just by signing Williams. I like that proposition. 

Ojomo cant be extended for two more years

- Patullo has never called plays in the NFL or at any level, but he’s been involved in the process on game days and has handled the duties before in practice settings.

- The scheme and terminology is expected to stay the same as it was under Moore. The 2024-25 offense, though, still had elements of Sirianni’s past scheme to emphasis Hurts’ strengths.

I'm a tad worried we're going to get Nick's aggressive and bad playcalling again

He's in his 3rd year next year on a 4 year deal.

Not interviewing a single outside candidate for the OC job is ridiculous. 

The good news is that we should be better off with Patullo at OC than having no OC at all.

He doesn't though.

2020: played 13 games

2021: played 17 games

2022: played 15 games

2023: suspended

2024: played 15 games 

That should be 4 accrued seasons. I don't see why one of those wouldn't count.

What may be the case is that 20, 21 and 22 were on his original contract, which was terminated by the Colts.  Then in 23 he signed the deal with the Eagles which had an RFA provision in its third year.

OTC says the following:

Contract Notes
Isaiah Rodgers signed a one year, $1.01 million contract with the Eagles on August 28, 2023. Rodgers will be suspended for the entire 2023 season and his contract will toll to 2024.

That play should have worked; Nelson just didn't buy in.

I think Parks Frazier is going to revolutionize the QB coach position.

It doesn't matter how many years you spend with a specific team. You can be in the league 4 years under 4 different teams. As long as you have an accrued season, that's all that matters. 

It looks like OTC just never updated him. They have him at 3 accrued seasons but I just don't see how they can say 3 when he clearly has had 4.

He's not QB coach, he's taking Patullo's old job

Left out goedert

Good point. He's kind of similar to Slay, but obviously younger. No way we are paying him $15.5mm cash for 2025, and I doubt he could get that on the open market. A short extension that lowers his cash this year and adds a couple years is possible, as getting him to simply cut his 2025 comp may be difficult. Paying him a $14mm option bonus and adding over $11mm to his dead money is not an option.

If I had to guess -- short extension with non-guaranteed fluff added. Drop his 2025 option bonus to like $8mm and guarantee it, along with a partial gtee for 2026.

I think a lot of that had to do with the tougher, longer, harder practices.  Go figure.

The OC role here is going to be Nick Sirianni being comfortable and maintaining his influence on this offense. I am not too worried about losing Moore. This offense's identity is established. And the players have full ownership of it at this point and dictate what happens. This is like coaching an all star team right now. The coaches just let the players do what they do best and not get in the way. This team is comfortable with its identity and will just keep doing what it does. And Stout is a big piece of it as well. OC hire today is much different than when Brian Johnson took over. We now have Barkley and this can run basically on auto pilot til he's gone.

Hopefully you're right. I do worry about the offense going stale, but as you said, Sirianni is still part of the offensive game plan and should give stability.

They'll still hire another assistant to replace what Patullo was doing; that one should be an external.

He'll be the scapegoat if the offense struggles

Not sure why the NFL want to make it harder to watch their product?

Yes you do.   They believe that no matter what they do, their fan base will follow and pay whatever fees are needed to keep getting the games they are gambling on (partnership with FanDuel, etc.).  They don't believe that the fanbase will have the will power, the gumption or the backbone to say, "Enough!"  So, they will squeeze the Golden Goose to get every bit of revenue they can find.

I already have with TNF.  MNF is slowly migrating out of my life.  If they choose to make Sunday football go to a subscription service... they will have whittled my fandom down to one game a week.   As I've gotten older, its gotten easier to just forget that NFL football is happening on a non-Sunday.

So who takes over QB coach now I wonder

Guys need to stop with this. No one is trading for Huff and paying him $16.75mm in cash for 2025. We are stuck with him.

In that case I’d cut him

Seriously, read through that thread.  They are REALLY f'n stupid.  

I tried but gave up after a while.  Each post was just "Mahomes sucks today" or "We're still gonna win" or "****" - and they all were like 10 words or less.  Do they have an f'n word limit on each post or are they just too dumb to elaborate on their thoughts?  That and the fact that the same giant post was pinned at the top of EVERY page.  Makes me appreciate all the idiots in here way more

Patullo has worked under every coordinator we've had the last 4 years, if he doesn't know what works and what doesn't with this roster by now then nobody does. 

People freak out about freshening up the playbook but with a roster this talented, the execution should still be good enough to best most defenses, add in a couple of new wrinkles here and there and send them out to do it again.

We're picking at the leftovers at NFL level after the new HC's have picked the prime candidates, bringing in a college guy as OC would be a huge risk, maybe you can get someone from college as QB coach / assistant OC to add in some fresh ideas?

I sure hope the banner unveiling is better than the last one. If you remember, that opener against the Falcons was delayed significantly (maybe forty-five minutes) because of a thunderstorm. So when they finally got the teams on the field and were ready to start the game, they had almost no time for the unveiling. It was so rushed. Yes, it happened but it was more along the lines of fans casually looking over and noticing that the drapes were coming down than an actual ceremony where they made a big deal about it. Basically if you blinked, you missed it. 

Yep, was there, was a miserable beginning with everyone jammed in the concourse.
