Not interested in Anthony Lynn as OC. He was going to start Tyrod Taylor over Justin Herbert, even after seeing Herbert play very well in his first game. Chargers OC from 2020 Shane Steichen, though, I would be all for.

Doug to Indy as OC? 🤐 

I bet that would be a wonderful spot for Doug... the Doug/Frank team was magical here.   I could see it working there.

Someone really needs to tweet Trotter and tell the eagles hired a minority DC in Juan Castillo. Who was also replaced by Todd Bowles as interim. Unless we only refer to one minority as minority candidates now. 

Why reply? All these losers do is create these hate tweets to get responses. Its what they get paid for. Id rather just give them no attention that they crave so much.

I’d love to get pep Hamilton as OC he’s the QB coach there. Doubt he leaves chargers for OC position without play calling duties though.

Well in this case just proves the fact he’s wrong or he only cares about one minority group which is just as wrong. Diversity doesn’t mean just your minority it means all minorities

Can’t wait for him to make a you tube channel about ice cream to pass the time this year 

This talk of ice cream reminds me something that happened to me last week. I’m took my daughter to cold stone and the lady I front of me was a real”Karen”. She was asking 100 questions and taking her sweet precious time after about 10 mins she asks to sample the Vanilla!?! I said loudly " Are you serious all those question about all the icecream and your gonna Sample Vanilla!” The girl working the counter laughed and the lady took her small vanilla with nothing and left lol

Trade for nick foles. Being the entire band back together for vanilla ice cream during bible study! 

Can’t remember if I posted this about Gannon. 

All of this toxic stuff said about Lurie stems from Critical Race Theory. Not to get too sociopolitical here, but it's becoming more and more pervasive in institutions today. It's a very radical belief system that focuses on core basic principles that only two people in the world exist: oppressors and the oppressed. You have to fall under one or the other. It also teaches that any inequity, anywhere, regardless of reason or context is due to racism. And if you try to argue against this, that itself is proof of your racism. At its core, it's a Marxist belief system that pushes for redistribution in all forms of society, and pushes for forced quotas based purely on skin color.

The scary part is it's being pushed in schools, being taught to kids, and even the government is adopting some of these training sessions and is spreading like wildfire on social media. It's toxic toxic stuff, and the outrage is where this all stems from.

There has been a ton of "reports" on all types of topics about the coaches, players etc. Can't really believe any in today's media. Could be true, Could be BS. In the end, Duce didnt get the HC job. We will see what his next step is. GL to him in any direction he goes. 

true.

Sometimes I wish every HC, OC, DC, all position coaches were black.  I'm tired of hearing about it myself.  I'd like to see more get opportunities but what can you do.  The owners are going to hire who they know and feel comfortable with. 

Some of these HC's should start being more vocal about their staffs and promote them.  Some do already.  Just as an example, maybe Bruce Arians can take a few seconds during an interview and say Byron Leftwich deserves to be a HC.  Give some of these guys that we dont know about a little promotion or advertising. 

BTW, not saying Leftwich should be a HC right now.  Just using those 2 as an example.

The amazing part of it is that Lurie hired Rhodes before there was any kind of woke pressure or mandate to interview minority coaches. If there’s a biased or racist owner in the NFL, surely it isn’t Lurie.

Rhodes' DC was also a minority... Emmitt Thomas.

Blue checkmarks on social media ripping Lurie... not because they didn't like the hire. But because they hired "another white dude."

A lot of racist divisive toxic people out there. I hate the Fing hire, but I'll be the first to defend Lurie on this. Just unjustified and unwarranted criticism in this regard.

that's basically all twitter is...how can we accuse someone of being racist and the sad thing is people actually listen to those on twitter.

So first you said " Playcalling is overrated, it's like scheming"

Now your saying "Scripting is a different concept than play calling"

All I had to read to know you are full of doggy poo

No, when people talk about play calling, they talk about it as if it is magical. A special OC/HC can win games with brilliant play calling! of course play calling matters, but to me it's far less important than coaching fundamentals and executing the plays you call, compared to which plays you call.

It's what you do in camp and during the week which determines which plays you can call on Sunday. Preparation is the key to "brilliant" play calling.

It's not like there's anything new in the NFL, what was the last major innovation? The spread is just an updated version of the "run and gun" (or against Ryan, "run and duck."). The RPO is a modification of the ole wildcat.

So it's not like play calling is nuclear physics, that only a few brilliant minds can comprehend. And being clever designing plays can backfire, the more twists and complications you add, the less likely it is that your players will execute that play properly (for one thing, the more complex your playbook, the fewer reps of each play in camp and practice - and complex plays require more reps to master - there's a tradeoff between complexity and execution).

And scripting is pretty standard practice. It's just stringing together a sequence of plays to test a defense early in a game and reveal anything they're doing that's not their "norm" (again, you can't reinvent your defense in one week, you can install some wrinkles, but that's about it). But even if you identify a vulnerability, you have to execute to exploit it.

To me, the fundamental problem with the Eagles wasn't play calling last year (could it have been better, sure) but execution. Screens are a good example, to properly run a screen you have to both hold your blocks long enough to sell the play, then get out in the open field and hit your targets. Teams know in a 3rd and long when you're having trouble pass blocking a screen is a high probability, but if you execute it properly they'll hesitate, and if you hit the targets at the second level the play will usually work. The execution on screens last year was terrible. Blitz pickup by RBs was terrible, so even if your WRs sold the double move and caught the defense flatfooted, the QB is flat on his back. And so on. Bad routes, dropped passes, whiffs on pass blocks, the list was endless.

Could've guessed that

At some point, the woke checkmarks need to think in depth about Eric Bieniemy (for example) and why multiple teams have gone to other individuals.  It's not just one job. He has serious rub because of KC, so clearly there is something more than race/ethnicity that means teams are looking elsewhere; maybe it is a case of availability, but the Eagles waited for Doug last time.  I have nothing against Bieniemy at all nor a negative perception of him; I hate even having to say that.

As for Sirianni, he's proof of a good interview, and presumably, being prepared in it, getting you a long way in life.  References only get you so far in life. 

The staff will be key, just like it was Doug.

And... Thank Eff its not Josh McDaniels. Phew

Twitter is on it's way out.  Not too long ago I considered it the mainline of information.  Everything happened there first, so you kind of had to look at it.

With the decisions they made to censor and cancel voices they didn't like, the future of the platform changed.  Now it is basically an online CNN shitposting site.  Personally I don't even look at it anymore, except in rare cases where a link takes me there.

Twitter's decisions were existential for them.  It's going to be replaced or at least displaced, by similar or maybe different technology... that process has been set in motion.

Someone should tweet him Eric Bienemy's past.  I don't care about the "2nd chance" crap.  Some of this is downright creepy.  

"As a player at Colorado, Bieniemy was arrested along with a teammate following a February 1988 bar fight.^[11] He pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct and fighting in public, and was sentenced to community service.^[11] He also received discipline from head coach Bill McCartney.^[11]

On July 4, 1990, Bieniemy pleaded no contest to interfering with a firefighter who had been performing his duties to extinguish a fire in Bieniemy's mother's garage.^[12] Bieniemy received an eight-month suspended sentence^[13] and was suspended for one game.^[14] Bieniemy was instructed to do 40 hours of community service and attend an eight-hour firefighting training session.^[12] An assistant city attorney said Bieniemy failed to attend the firefighting training session as stipulated in the plea agreement, but Bieniemy asserted the session was optional.^[12]

In 1989, Bieniemy was ticketed in Westminster for driving a defective vehicle, and in Aurora for speeding. In October 1990, Bieniemy's license was suspended for a year after another traffic violation. On March 21, 1991, Bieniemy was caught speeding and driving with suspended license on I-70 near Rifle, Colorado, going 92 mph in a 65 mph zone. On April 17, 1991, Bieniemy failed to appear in court on April 17, 1991, and a bench warrant was issued in Colorado for his arrest two days after being drafted in the 1991 NFL Draft on April 23.^[12]

On September 27, 1993, Bieniemy was arrested in Boulder, Colorado, for allegedly harassing a female parking attendant. According to the police report, while with his friends, Bieniemy put his hand on the attendant's neck, startling her. She told police he also made a comment about "a bunch of black males all at once being her worst nightmare,"^[13] and that Bieniemy and his friends took off their pants and began urinating nearby. Bieniemy was also named in an outstanding warrant on a charge of driving with a suspended license. As a result of this incident, Bieniemy was banned from the University of Colorado Boulder campus for one year.^[6][15]

In April 2001, Bieniemy was arrested for driving under the influence and was docked a month's pay.^[16]"

So you’re saying the Doug bubble screen on 3rd and 7 with our slowest WR with three defenders and two blockers on that side of the field hasn’t been a consistent problem the last three years. I must be dreaming or tripping balls. 

That's not a play calling problem, that's not using your personnel properly problem. Run that play with Watkins or Reagor instead of Ward.

That's why I used the Ertz example, Ertz may have a TE body, but he's a H-back and blocks like one, I'd see pass plays with him blocking a top pass rushing DE and cringe.

A play can be just fine if you don't put your players in a position to fail.

The whole point is brilliance is overrated (not just in football, but in life) - common sense, competence and a perceptive mind are more important. How often do we see brilliant people screw up b/c they're so enamored with their ideas they forget to reality test them.

I don't follow McLane (or anyone on Twitter), but just to ask:  How many opinions did McLane share regarding this hire?   Did he only share the opinion that he (potentially) agreed with, and suppressed any other opinion?  

I know Danny Woodhead has been effusive of his praise for Sirianni.   Just curious if McLane is offering both sides or just one.

That goes without saying.

Sigh... Lurie is the one owner you can’t really play the race card with. It’s nonsense. 

Honest question...are white people not allowed to admire and look up to MLK?  When lets say 85% of your players are black don't you want to share messages that relate to them?  Isn't that half of what we're being taught now?  If you watched any of the major "news" networks on MLK day this year you also saw people ripping on Republicans for quoting MLK.  Since when did respecting, looking up to and taking pride in a man become so partisan?

If Jeff Lurie wants to have MLK in the lobby so be it.  Maybe someone like Malcolm Jenkins requested that Lurie show more acceptance towards AA culture.  I'm absolutely sick and tired of this trying to find racism behind every nook and cranny.  This is the the fallout of identity politics. 

I most likely don't agree with Jeff Lurie on a lot of stuff but I do know that the man has gone above and beyond to be inclusive.
