Alfred Morris for RoY. Seriously.

I know right?

I'm gonna be pissed when Griffin (or, ridiculous as it sounds, Russell Wilson wins it) and Morris gets screwed.

Dude broke the Redskins rushing record (which Portis did was FAR less talent at the offensive line position), he's 3rd all time in yards for a rookie (and NEARLY 2nd), and he's 2nd in the league in rushing (and, if not for AP's RIDICULOUS year, would probably be leading the league in rushing).

If he doesn't deserve the RotY award, then no one does. Yes, I know Griffin was most definitely part of his success, but Morris is FAR MORE a part of Griffin's success than Griffin being part of his. Morris is constantly breaking tackles and pushing piles to get more yards. People are fuckin' nuts if they don't think that Morris is second (behind AP's ridiculous season) in yards after contact. The dude powers through more tackles than anyone has in DC since the legendary John Riggins did in '83.

:D just when you think they're close to digging out of the hole, they go diving back in.

Bears short list includes McCoy from Denver (OC), possibly ex-Raven HC Brian Billick. Jack Del Rio's name was thrown around, and I wouldn't mind him, but Todd Haley's name was on that list too. I'd almost rather have McDaniels. Everyone is saying Cowher, but I dunno if he'll ever coach again. I wouldn't mind Da Bears going after Bruce Ariens, but of course they can't talk about that until after the Colts are elminated.

Seems like McCoy is the leader in the clubhouse, and I don't really know what to think about that. I wouldn't mind seeing an offensive head coach, as long as they'd retain Marinelli.

That's the one thing I hate about the end of the season. Denver get's a good group of coaches, and then other teams start pilfering them here and there. If I'm Elway and Bowlen, I'm giving McCoy a raise immediately to try and keep him in Denver.

I wouldn't give Haley another look, at least not this soon. I don't like him that much period. He doesn't seem easy to work with.

Josh McDaniel could be good in his second stint if he learned from his Denver experience and is willing to change. He had too much control at too young an age. He probably wasn't ready.

The way Andy Reid's offense turned to crap makes me think he might not be such a good hire. The OL and the injuries certainly hurt but people seemed to have caught on to his system.

Lovie Smith is the top guy on this list that I would hire. The players like him. There are a lot of other people I would blame for their disappointment this year over him.

Luck,RG3 and Russell Wilson haven't been care taking rookies either. They have led their clubs to the playoffs. rG3 has an incredible QB rating and Russell Wilson tied Peyton Manning's rookie QB record of 28 TDs. It's only a problem if they have been bad. This is a bright spot for the league.

Actually, I very much meant it that way. That offensive line was atrocious and it was 4 yards and a cloud of dust most of the time for Portis with VERY little 10+ yard gains.

It doesn't take away anything from what Morris did though.

Rudy

12-31-2012, 07:36 PM

Morris will be downgraded because of the factory of 1000 yard rushers Shanahan has put out over the years. Guys like Mike Anderson and Olandis Gary may hurt his case for ROY in some eyes. Plus it's a QB league and you fight an uphill battle if you were a late pick and not promoted by the league.

One person I was shocked to not get the axe was Pioli in KC, and it might happen once Cunt, er I mean Hunt hires a new HC. Sure we all knew Crennel was done but the real body of work that should be shown the door was Pioli. His draft strategy has been atrocious. Even the sun shines on a dog's ass (see Justin Houston) once in a while, but other draft picks have been downright awful for their position (see Jon Baldwin, Stanzi among many others).

I have to disagree. You just don't know the power of cancer that is Norv Turner. Rivers will be fine with a coach that's even decent, nevermind getting a coach that's great.

Norv Turner is the epitome of a coach that just doesn't give a fuck what his players do or say. He has no control over his lockeroom. It was like that in DC when he was there and it was like that in San Diego.

Rivers will be fine when they get a coach that can actually coach.

I disagree, though your anti-Turner bias is noted ;)

I just don't think Rivers is at that top tier yet. I think he still has a chance to get there, but a defensive minded coach like Lovie isn't going to help, unless he makes an excellent assistant hire.

Yeah, but just look at Denver last year. Bring in John Fox, a defensive minded coach, and even with Tim Tebow at QB, the defense was beastly enough to carry Denver into the playoffs. San Diego went 7-9 this year, even with both Turner and Rivers. You bring in Lovie, which will help improve the defense, especially with him in the decision making in the draft and free agency, and even with Rivers next year, San Diego can still end up winning anywhere from 8-10 games with the improved defense, as long as they have a reasonable schedule.

This season, Denver had to overcome a 24-0 halftime deficit to beat the Chargers the first time (granted Peyton and the offense were still gelling at the time) and could never full shake the Chargers the second time around, only winning 30-23. You bring in Lovie and enter next season with an improved defense, even with Rivers still calling the plays, I think San Diego takes at least one game vs. Denver next year and pushes Denver the entire season for the AFC West.

I agree. Pioli and his strict policies and act needed to go but he has made that organization a ton of money while he's been there. I don't think ownership has made a full push to win and they are happy with Pioli's business acts. He operates below the cap and turns a good profit.

And that is why Cunt is keeping him around. Screw money and get someone in there that can manage talent and find the right guys to win. At least another KC pro franchise owner (Glass) may have seen the light and has given Dayton Moore some leeway to spend a little.

I'm not a huge fan of retread coaches. It's hard as a fan to know who is good though. You can look at the good co-ordinators but there is a big difference between being a coach and being the man. I think Kirk Ferentz could be good out of Iowa if he makes the jump. He's a former NFL guy with a lot of head coaching experience.

Quite possibly. I'd love to see what he could do in the NFL though. The NFL traditionalists will get their pitch forks out although they may be dull with the success of RG3 running some college stuff.

I'm personally not a fan of how spread teams in college always run their offense and seem to never mix in some traditional formations. The defense dictates a little too much to the offense and forces them to pass or run based on their look imo. I'm sure Kelly would mix things up more in the NFL but I don't know why college spread coaches don't get a little more diverse. Michigan ran all kinds of different things the last two years. It's not that hard to mix concepts from multiple systems. It could make you that much harder to prepare for.

Rex Ryan has a sexy tattoo of his wife wearing a Mark Sanchez jersey

Now we know why it took so long for Rex Ryan to remove Mark Sanchez's name from the top of the depth chart: It was written in permanent ink.

In the latest bizarre twist to the everlasting circus of the New York Jets, the Friday cover of The New York Daily News shows a shirtless, vacationing Ryan with a sexy tattoo depicting his wife wearing only a Sanchez No. 6 jersey.

It was the worst use of ink by a member of the Jets since the team signed Sanchez to a contract extension that guaranteed him $8.25 million in 2013.

The newspaper saw Ryan sunbathing in the Bahamas, days after his Jets finished a disappointing 6-10 season. He was spied with two tattoos on his right arm. One was a shamrock that included the name of his wife, Michelle, and two children, Payton and Seth. The other was the "kinky inky" of Michelle, who is best known for her starring role in a foot fetish video that was uncovered two years ago. She's seductively posed on her knees while making "come hither" eyes and wearing Sanchez's number.

It's both baffling and completely understandable at the same time. Does Rex wear all his (Jets) emotions on his (tattooed) sleeve? We wonder if the inked Michelle has a Santonio Holmes' captain's "C" somewhere on her jersey. And we shudder to think about what horrors befall a theoretical tattooed Tim Tebow on Ryan's body. That view can't be pretty.

Ryan wouldn't comment when approached by the newspaper's reporter.

Rudy

01-04-2013, 01:43 PM

Yup. Investing big dollars and time in a QB who fails really hurts a franchise. That's why you have to double up on that position. People thought Seattle was dumb for signing Flynn and drafting Russell. Heck no. Invest in more than one person at that position. The Packers did that quite a bit in the past even when they had an established Favre (Brunell, Ty Detmer and Kurt Warner started out in a Packers camp). They also drafted Brian Brohm in the 2nd round when they had Aaron as the starter (he was a failure but you still try). The Redskins weren't so stupid in drafting Cousins.

Even though many are happy with Ryan Tannehill it wouldn't hurt to draft another young QB (not first two rounds) and cover your ass in case Ryan gets hurt or fails. While most people around the NFL do all they can to avoid QB controversies, other players don't see a problem with it. Every other position in the NFL is fought over and competed for. Why should the QB position be so different unless you have an elite QB you are sold on? People were afraid Sanchez's feelings would get hurt when they talked to Peyton and brought Tebow in. Boo freaking hoo. The Jets stupidly guaranteed his contract to make him feel better. Sanchez had not shown he was the answer yet. If you are too timid and afraid of competition for your job you aren't the right guy for the job anyways.

The first thing Cleveland has to get right is the QB position. It's true for any franchise. When you don't have a QB you are constantly in flux and the Browns haven't had a good QB in a very long time. I'd argue since Bernie Kosar. Everyone else in the division has their QB (jury still out on Flacco but he's not bad) but the Browns are still searching.

I agree about needing a franchise QB. However, to be fair to Weeden, i thought he showed a lot of promise this season. The biggest issue is the talent around him. Talent makes good qb's great and makes bad ones average.

Rudy

01-05-2013, 12:10 PM

Weeden will be 30 next year lol. By the time he's ready he will be in decline. He's older than Aaron Rodgers. That's the one reason I wouldn't have drafted him in the first two rounds. He came from a shotgun and spread type offense and would need time he didn't have to learn. Jury is still out on him too. A lot of the local Cleveland guys got fairly down on him over the course of the year. They have some decent weapons at WR but they need someone to become a great weapon.

The Cleveland guys did defend Weeden a bit and actually said it's unfair how much the Browns fans have praised Richardson who didn't really have a great rookie year. He caught the ball out of the backfield well and scored some TDs but he only averaged 3.6 ypc. He did have rib issues but 3.6 is awful (ranks 40 out of 44 qualifiers).

this is nfl ignorance imo. robert griffin is a testiment to how if you adapt your nfl offense to your starting qb, he can be just as good as what he was in college. i'm not saying that spread qb's just suck in the nfl, but you're asking them to play in a system that they havent been in for 4+ years. adapt the offense to meet their strengths, and those spread qbs will be a lot better.

01-05-2013, 06:36 PM

i wasnt really referring to the option/running type of qbs....more of the qb's who've come from shotgun based pass happy offenses in college. guys like weeden, colt brennan, chase daniel, graham herrell, etc. its one position where you repeatedly see coaches ask their guys to do things that are unfamiliar to them. those guys have been in a shotgun based offense for 4 years or so. why put them under center and ask them to pick up a whole new offense and a new set of skills?

if an nfl team is gonna draft a guy from that kind of offense, to be in contention for the starting qb position immediately, they should also be willing to change their offense to meet that qb's strengths. would you draft a wes welker type of receiver and tell him he's gonna take on an h-back/tight end type of roll of blocking and receiving? or do you adjust the offense, and get him on the field in the slot/outside and into situations that he's familiar with? idk, it just seems so obvious to me that if they want to make these pass happy spread qb's more successful in the nfl, the offense has to be willing to change to match their skills.

It is true that Shurmur did not tailor his offense to Weeden. For a kid so used to the shotgun offense they didn't run enough of it. That said, guys like RG3 are extremely rare. To come in as a rookie and play as well as he did is incredible. Rookie QBs usually stink. Even Peyton set the rookie TD AND INT record his first year.

JeffHCross

01-05-2013, 09:42 PM

As good as Trent Richardson was for the Browns this year I would have preferred they not trade up to No. 3 and just let Justin Blackmon come to them at No. 4, especially since they obviously had a hard-on for Weeden. Take Weeden with the late first-round pick, or, preferably, trade down a few slots and you probably still get him.

In an ideal world, trade whatever you have to and get Dez Bryant away from Dallas. This probably wouldn't happen, but that brings in a new QB and two targets that he knows like the back of his hand. I think that gives you a much better chance, in the long-run, that the situation they find themselves in now. Realistically, you don't get Bryant and instead you have Greg Little at the other outside receiver ... okay, that's still an upside from where they are now. Plus you didn't sacrifice a ridiculous number of draft picks for an average-to-above-average NFL running back, and if you were able to drop back to get Weeden you're even better off.

Worst case scenario, you pick Riley Reiff or David DeCastro at 22 and trade back into the second round to get Weeden (probably using the same picks you used to get Richardson). Still better than the result you got.

I think the regime in Cleveland knew they had a foot out the door and pulled some desperate win now moves to save jobs. Taking Josh Gordon just reeked of desperation by a regime which had previously moved at the speed of a glacier. I think Gordon could turn out to be a great pick. He did better than expected but it still indicated a job saving type move.

Aaron Murray heads and tails above Thomas imo. Thomas reminds me more of Tebow than Newton and if he doesn't improve his passing then no, he is not the #1 junior QB.

It will actually be a very interesting draft with not a lot of stud skill players.

Rudy

01-08-2013, 03:53 PM

The draft is supposed to be full of lineman and this should be interesting since free agency is full of OT and DT this year as well. As a Dolphin fan I let Jake Long walk. He's been too injury prone and not dominant enough the last two years to justify any significant salary.

The Dolphins need a TE that can stretch the field. Guys like Dustin Keller and Cook from Tennessee are good players. I do like Delanie Walker out of SF although he's more of an all purpose guy and not big enough to be the only TE on the field. Fast though.

JBHuskers

Very true lol. Keller is one name being thrown out there. I'm not a huge fan because I don't think his efforts in the passing game have overcome his blocking and durability concern. I'd rather have Cook myself.

As for Kiper, the Dolphins beat writer Omar Kelly said he's been covering draft prospects since 2001 and said he's seen plenty of draft gurus at the senior bowl and other workouts. But he said he has NEVER seen Kiper at anything and questioned how someone could be a draft guru if they never actually go look at the players.

That one TD Champ gave up was just a tremendous play by the WR. He did have good coverage and just didn't make the play. The safety that blew the tying TD with 30 seconds left needs to have his eyes examined. You can't judge a ball much worse than that. He had plenty of time to make a play if he reads the ball right and takes a good angle.

I think Denver's coaching staff got a little too conservative as well. They ran the ball a couple of times on 3rd down where I thought they should have been more aggressive and then with 30 seconds and two timeouts you just take a knee? You don't even run one play to see if you can get anything going? That's fine if Tebow is still your QB but not Manning.

So much for referee's swallowing the whistle in a playoff game. What a whistle infested, ticky tack game. They really delayed this game. I'm glad I wasn't in the stands freezing my ass off while the refs were huddling all the time.

49ers - under NO circumstances is this okay.

The Ravens were right with New England last year. I think not having Gronk will hurt a lot. Both teams could have a little success on the ground but I do see this coming down to Brady vs Flacco. I like Baltimore's pass defence better. I expect a close game. I don't know if Baltimore will win but I will be rooting against the Pats.

As for SF vs Atlanta I really like SF in this one. That defence is a lot better than Atlanta's. SF should have success running the ball. I don't see Atlanta winning this game unless Julio and Roddy make a bunch of big plays.

Every single one of your iron clad guarantees that I have ever seen has been wrong. I hope this one isn't.

Michael Crabtree has been questioned about a sexual assault. 49ers activate practice squad WR to active roster. Will Crabtree be left off the game day roster?

Well, there is a god. I can actually give a damn about the Super Bowl this year. If Atlanta won, I wasn't going to bother watching the SB. I HATE New England, I couldn't care less about Baltimore (and that's with nothing to do with last week) and I have never cared for Atlanta.

The 49ers, at least I have an interest in seeing them win, with one of my best friends being a 49ers fan. We were both hoping for a 49ers-Broncos Super Bowl, well, we won't get it, but I can settle for seeing the 49ers play and win.

Just going to have to find the silver lining - at least Brady won't be tying Bradshaw and Montana.

As for the Super Bowl, I'll just have to be happy about what doesn't happen instead of erked by what does. If SF wins, at least Baltimore doesn't. If Baltimore wins, Pittsburgh remains the only franchise with 6.

I say we gotta root for SF. If they get 6 we will just have to get 7. If Bmore wins we can't take that away and I won't be able to handle Ray Ray getting one on his last game.

Fan stabbed outside Georgia Dome (http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2012/story/_/id/8863456/2013-nfl-playoffs-fan-stabbed-neck-georgia-dome-nfc-championship-game-san-francisco-49ers-atlanta-falcons-report)

Sounds horrible, but the dumbass brought it upon himself. You punch a fan of the opposing team outside the stadium after the game, something's gonna happen. Shot, stabbed, ass-whooping beat down, something's gonna happen. Idiot has no one to blame but himself, he provoked the attack by punching the 49ers fan first.

Never bring a knife to a gun fight, sure. But definitely never bring a fist to a knife fight, either.

I pretty much feel the same way though truthfully I really don't care who wins. I don't cheer for either team, don't follow either team. I think John is a nicer more humble guy versus his brother but I have never liked the Ravens.

the point being they beat better, well rounded, quality, teams. Kaepernick wasnt much of a run threat in the Atlanta game against a defense that sucked and they almost lost the game.

the 49ers beat 2 teams in the playoffs that had no defense. Against the Ravens it will be a different story.

Interesting to read the stuff from Tim Brown with Jon Ritchie confirming that Callahan completely changed the gameplay in the Raiders Superbowl 10 years ago. Gameplan got changed on Friday and went from heavy run they practiced all week to a ton of passing. Tim Brown accuses the coach of sabotage it was so bad.

So Tom Brady gets only fined $10k for trying to kick Ed Reed. If it was the other way around, Reed would have been fined $75k.

In comparison, Frank Gore was fined $10.5k for wearing his socks too low. Do the math.

I cannot wait until the day comes that Tom Brady retires, along with Belichick and the rest of the Pats stars. I'm so fucking sick of this favoritism between the NFL and the Patriots.
