January 17Jan 17 Jim Bob Cooter is a fascinating one because the guy hasn't called plays. The whole city and its media had a collective meltdown over turning it over to someone with no playcalling experience in Patullo. To, in turn, bring in someone with no playcalling experience would be wild.
January 17Jan 17 Very uninspiring so far. But the bigger names may just not be interested which wouldn’t be a surprise. Hurts is very limited.

A competent OC should be drooling over the idea of Saquon/Tank. He's not a feature back. If the Eagles offer a solid contract, I'm sure he'd consider.
January 17Jan 17 Howie traded for Bigsby smartly with another year of control on his rookie deal, I assumed because they wouldnt want to re-sign AJ Dillon. Currently, they will have Barkley, Bigsby, and Shipley under contract and have to spend 0 new dollars on the position next year.I can see them potentially drafting one and replacing Shipley. Potentially. But I think there is still upside there, and theyd have to really LOVE a player to do that.Only way I see an extension for Bigsby is if they decide to try to move on from Barkley but I dont see that happening. At least not this offseason.

I really think Nurse not playing McCain is a really bad move for McCain, and the 6ers organization.If hes still hurt, then he needs to be shut down and rehab. If hes not hurt, then you need to increase his minutes and let him shoot his way out of it. He proved last year he can be a special scorer. And it wasnt some fluke game. He was consistent. I hate how they are managing him.

It's one thing to hire the wrong person and another to keep him in the position knowing he was incompetent and could cost them a season. They must have been influenced by replacing Desai in 2023 and having it blow up in their faces.Letting him do it again it seems. There are only 3 names. Stick to the big ones, Nick. WTH is wrong with them letting him pick

At least not this offseason.I see the point you're making, but you don't want to put yourself in a situation where no RB is under contract in 2027. Saquon has a potential out after next year too when he turns 30. He's not here in 2027 under his current deal, that's for sure.You lock up Bigsby when his value is tanked (no pun intended) and he's still under team control, rather that wait for him to hit FA and having to compete with other teams.

Its a horrible career move for him.Id let him play, and pay him fairly if they decide hes their RB1 moving forward.
January 17Jan 17 Just now, HazletonEagle said:He didnt stink last year.His best play was the swing pass before he got hurt in the first game of the year. It all goes back to KP. From that point on he became the 3rd and forever draw RB. It all goes back to KP having no idea how to use the players on the roster. Shipley on RB Screen would have been great to see. Nope, never. He's a good option out of the backfield. Hopefully the incoming OC knows what he's doing.

January 17Jan 17 The Bills have made some personnel errors with Josh Allen throwing to Brandon Cooks. They just need to have a better WR situation.
