With the cap situation, I think we have a very similar roster in 2021 as we did in 2020.  Will be very easy to see if the issues were coaching or the players.

 

Something to consider, picking 2 Coaches from a very stable stout team like the Colts does feel good in a way. Has nothing to do with the frank tree but looking at the Colts as a whole they look well built well coached and honestly had a chance to win couple weeks ago too.

More this sits with me and now hiring Gannon I am starting to get on board with this team.

A few things regarding the Colts defense, and how it was built...

* Valued long-armed LBs, which make sense for zone-based teams that want to force tight window throws between LBs and DBs. Leonard and Okereke have vines.

* Playmaking and rangy FS/center fielder is really important. They already had Malik Hooker on the roster, but they added Blackmon with a premium pick despite coming off an ACL tear.  

* Big, physical corners.

I wish we could bring Chris Ballard. He’s a stud. 

 

Another one.

hopefully we won't be seeing the DB's giving up all the double moves and 3rd and forever's that happened every weekend against our team.

Did the Eagles hire a DC?

Yes they did.

And maybe we draft quality linebackers, corners, safety's and even develop them

Patullo was the pass game specialist and also coached the Colts WRs for the past three years. 

At this point, I’d like to see a former HC on the staff, but the biggest coaching news left is whether Stout stays. 

BOOOOOOOOM

I like the fact that Gannon was well sought out by other teams yet he chose to be with Sirianni.

Yeah, is Howie gonna draft the way Ballard does... Hopefully with the influx of new ideas it reflects on the draft picks. 

Maybe Sirianni has a relationship with one of the Colts football personnel people and can get him into the mix here. 

 

Are sirianni and patullo twins

well part of the issue was an enormous amount of injuries. Lets hope that changes.

Part of it appeared to be coaching decisions and game planning. Calling 55 passes to 9 runs when your oline was on its 10th combo having back ups to the back ups playing and not doing well pass protecting, and wrs consisting of Jjaw, Hightower, Ward and Fulgham, and a TE of Rodgers, when Sanders was playing, just makes one pause and wonder if Doug is either stoopid, or just wanted to get fired.

It would be hard not to improve upon our 2020 offense. Even a slight improvment in Special teams, could generate better starting avg field position, which would also help the offense. Too many times our players waved off punts only to start inside the 20, also too many times we brought the ball out of the end zone on kickoffs and never made it to the 25, both giving up valuable field position. That stems from poor coaching.

It would be hard not to improve from 2020 

Leonard and Okereke both have 82 inch wingspans. 

For comparison sake, Davion Taylor is at close to 77. Singleton and Edwards is at 75.

Here his numbers from coaching in his previous stints. Gotta say looks bad can’t wait to see how some will spin this :

Curtis Modkins	Points	Yards	Giveaways	DVOA
2010 - Bills	28	25	31	26
2011 - Bills	14	14	25	16
2012 - Bills	21	19	28	21
2016 - 49ers	27	31	21	24

Acquiring Gannon and keeping Stoutland are such massive wins.

People were worried that good coaches wouldn't want to come to Philly!

Malik Hooker is a FA if I'm not mistaken.  If they can find any money to spend I would love to see him here.

Thanks for LII, Duce.

Not just LII but so many great years as a player, the pickle juice game, one amazing TD against the Cardinals (Donovan's broken ankle game), many other great games as an Eagle. 

Wish him nothing but the best.  I still think his best road to getting an NFL HC gig is to head down to a college program as an OC.
