Vic almost never blitzes. He only calls them up in very particular situations or to mix it up a little. He is a maintain your position and fundamentals and rush 4 guy. We just don't have the right 4 right now.

This team needs a culture change. Seems like alot of players have been sniffing themselves since the Superbowl. Brian Flores should be on the top of their list.

Wonder how they feel about Mannion. Sure, he has had his growing pains but they definitely showed improvment last night. I know some might mock it but I like that he took the initiative this past week to make everyone on O accountable in a group setting. The FO thought so highly of him when they brought him in so idk if they would try to keep in the building even with a coaching change.

Fixing the offense won’t be helped by hiring Flores. That’s the mission.

Flores would be a terrible choice. He can run a defense but he's not a "leader of men". This is the same guy who kept telling Tua they should have drafted Herbert and sued the league when he got fired from his job.

Does Nick get another HC job if/when he’s fired?

HC probably not but assistant is very possible.

I still say he should go try the college game. Offensive and defensive schemes there arent as intricate or complex as NFL ones are and I think he'd be more relatable with younger college kids.

Sure, it's a sunk cost and I'm hoping for the best - but realistically good teams aren't built by locking down the WR2 and TE2 positions, it's by building good offensive and defensive lines. It's kind of a cornerstone of this franchise, that we've moved off of recently.

Trading AJ a year earlier than planned certainly impacted plans. For me, TE has been a priority for 2 or 3 years, but the team, less so. But regardless, the cliff edge with Lane was clearly coming and Bell could be the solution. But the overall plan shows what a mess things have been where we have an inconsistent roster construction in place

Aside from injury, the only rationalization I can make for JC's play is that he plays a ton of snaps on a defense that plays a ton of snaps. I love Vic, but I don't agree with how he handles the DT rotation.

Byron Young played a lot last night and was dreadful. I don't care much for Ty Robinson but I would give him a shot over Young at this point. Even Gabe Hall on the PS. I don't know if Davis gave a lack of effort or he just isn't very good. He doesn't seem to be a lack of effort kind of guy but he is much worse than last year.

I still think when Fangio retires it's going to be Jim Schwartz as DC. Fangio will be here next season, he's already informed the team he'll be back next year, but Schwartz could be 2028.

Vic sure did say he was going to be back for multiple years didn't he? That's pretty reasonable thing to expect him to be back bext year. I wouldn't assume anyone would randomly argue with you about that

Nah we'd have the Seahawks issue. It's similar but not the same.

I’d argue that Seattle’s head coach is very good at implementing his defense and maximizing his defense. Our head coach does not call plays. Is not a great Xs and Os coach to begin with and before the year made switches from the offense he came up through the coaching ranks with. Sirianni is more of a CEO coach than the Seahawks. Macdonald doesn’t run the offense but he does more than just CEO HC

I believe it was a poster here that mentioned it at the time- maybe he said 2 years so he wouldn't have to answer questions about it every PC this year and then he'll retire in the off-season. Go before you're hated , run Charlie!

I'd much rather hire an offensive HC and then get someone like Dan Quinn to run the defense. Quinn might not be good as a HC but he can certainly run a defense.

Problem is they will hire someone we never heard of or never expected as HC. Thats pretty much been the theme going back to hiring Reid.

So you're saying we have a chance?

Are you saying Billy Davis wasn't prime DC material?

There is only one QB worth taking high. WR in the top 5 would be a mistake as well vs trading back and getting an edge and an extra first.

I could see a team hiring him.

Going price for veterans on expiring deals backs up that Howie overplayed for Greenard

Very good deal for Seattle. Schneider is a heck of a GM. Seattle will have a very low 3rd round pick and could re-sign Nelson making it a total steal. They should get no worse than a 4th round comp pick if they don't re-sign him.

Good moment to remind everyone Howie got a 2nd rounder for a backup caliber guard

You can have new DCs without an issue. They need an offensive coach for QB stability or you'll end up with the same crap we have been dealing with since 22.

Eagles got more for Jurgens than Colts did for Nelson who is a far superior player. Shows you what youth buys.

Ojomo is going to fetch a lot more than people think.

Speaking of which played his first Ravens game. Didn’t watch game and he had a terrible rep against Lawrence which would be the pressure but seems like he held up in pass blocking. Definitely a natural centre and not a guard. Their running game was crap though.

I thought they'd get more for him. Good trade for Seattle is right.

Listening to Sirius nfl they talked about not just the lawsuit vs. nfl part where he’s going to be found to have some incriminating evidence against the nfl/dolphins. But they had insiders and beats talk about his coaching in general. It was not flattering for him either. based off of what a couple of the beat writers and people who were close to the situation, he had a bunch of issues with players and treated guys poorly. He was kind of a Dbag even if he proves dolphins and the nfl were discriminatory

Ha they sure do hate me. That's ok. Vic said it this training camp he would be here at least 2 years maybe more. Right before this season started.

My vote is offensive minded HC as well. Then losing an OC to a HC position wouldn't hurt as much

Better situation than what we have but I'd rather opt for the offensive head coach.
