Jay Glazer reporting Lovie to Tampa is a done deal. Look elsewhere, Loins

We obviously did not want him. If we wanted him he would've been here. Its obvious Mayhew was going for Whisenhunt all along. Lovie would've loved the opportunity to run a 4-3 with the talent we have on the defensive front 7, and high draft picks next year.

I can guarantee you Lovie would''ve taken the Lions job over the Bucs job if we made the offer. Mayhew and the management want Whisenhunt.

 

[squicken]

Funny thing I see a lot of people talk up Carr saying he could be the #1 QB taken

Not a chance. Dude is super sketchy when pressured. Bortles looks good, but no one is going to look as good as a college QB as JFF. Think BoB will prefer Bortles type

 

[Lee Chaolan]

I haven't watched any of Bortles at all this year, and pretty impressed so far. Carr I'm indifferent on.

JFF I feel would thrive in a dome. Bad weather Cleveland is a bad idea for him. Would love to see Teddy here.

Dat salt. It's ok to get your 2nd choice.

 

[BigAT]

I'll reiterate my thoughts on Bortles from earlier in the year when LJ brought him up.

"I've seen a decent amount of him, looks good whenever I have watched him play. Good pocket presence, nice mobility (especially for a guy his size), and very efficient with the ball."

 

[Vio-Lence]

Love it! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

I'd wait to see who he brings in as OC. In Chicago he hired Terry Shea, Ron Turner, Mike Martz, and Mike Tice. Lovie can't coach the offensive side of the ball for shit.

Still? Even after his subpar performance against USC?

People have been saying it would be Jeff Tedford, the former Cal head coach.

 

[squicken]

darkside your cheerleaders have beer bellies

 

[BlackGhost]

If we took Carr I'd cry like I did when we took Weeden.

@JasonLaCanfora: Look for Lovie Smith to bring Jeff Tedford as his offensive coordinator and Leslie Frazier as his defensive coordinator

Also this preseason video analyzing the schedule predicted Carolina as the Super Bowl winner this year: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-total-access/0ap2000000162016/Who-got-hosed

What teams would have Bortles rated ahead of Bridgewater?

Only QB I've seen rated higher than Teddy who might declare is Mariota. Bortles climb up draft boards though definitely has him just behind Bridgewater currently though.

 

[Kastrioti]

Dat salt. It's ok to get your 2nd choice.

No salt its just the truth. The front office, and Whisenhunt, are just waiting for the Chargers playoffs to end whenever they end.

The Lions are a far more attractive coaching job for a variety of reasons. Martin Mayhew and the front offense did not want Lovie for whatever reason. It will be Ken Whisenhunt, and the announcement will be made as soon as the Chargers are done with their Superbowl run,

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Pretty excited. I wonder if we go QB since Clowney and Barr will likely be gone.

There was a report about a week ago that at least two teams would have Hundley above Bridgewater if he came out.

 

[Plinko]

La Canfora:

Some rumblings around the league former Bears GM Jerry Angelo - a former Buc exec as well - might be a part of Team Lovie in Tampa

:jnc :jnc :jnc

More reason why I think Houston takes him. Fits the description of what O'Brien wants at QB. Drop down a few spots to someone wanting Teddy/Manziel.

 

[Buckethead]

Tedford for OC is quite the promotion for him.

 

[Vio-Lence]

Jerry Angelo plus life support Lovie is a million :jncs.

My condolences.

 

[squicken]

Tedford as OC is odd, considering ARodg had unlearn everything he learned from the guy before he had success

 

[Syrinx]

Pretty excited. I wonder if we go QB since Clowney and Barr will likely be gone.

No, we'll take either Watkins or an offensive lineman.

 

[ScottSullivan]

I love this thread, but I don't get it, who's jafar?

Refer to post 1506 on Lovie and his OCs.

 

[Kusagari]

Carr is so overrated.

I bet Teddy, Bortles, JFF and Hundley (if he comes out) all go over him.

 

[Wes]

Damn you're right I remember that now. Had forgotten about Hundley too. For the sake of the Browns I hope all these guys declare. I can just tell there will end up being three can't miss prospects after all the pre draft stuff is done and we pick 4th.

Browns never get the top QB choice. And when they do, it's Tim Couch

I'd agree that Whisenhunt is definitely my first choice now. Missing out on Lovie, hey, you win some and you lose some.

My Chargers fan-side is being overruled by my Lions fan-side. Sorry Chargers, I'd like this done as soon as possible...

 

[squicken]

They have two 1st round picks. They can have who they want, I think

So, you've spoken to them recently?

Wow thanks lol. Don't know how I never heard about that.

 

[BlackGhost]

I think there's a pretty good amount of good Rbs that'll be in this draft too.

They have two 1st round picks. They can have who they want, I think

Pretty much, after the Texans it's pretty much our pick of the group. I mean I'm sure The Rams would love to trade with us if it really came down to it. I would hope we could stay at 4 though

 

[Wes]

Don't mind about getting the top prospect. I just want a reasonable prospect. I will gladly settle for reasonable.

 

[ScottSullivan]

Initially I was feeling very confident in the 49ers this weekend, but now I'm hearing it's going to be like -5 degrees farenheight? That's a huge wildcard to throw in the mix

Yeah. The Browns and the Jags.

 

[MechDX]

Texans will have two first round picks. Mark my words: Cleveland will trade both to move up.

 

[RBH]

I personally hope Hundley declares for the draft.

Spoiler

So that more defensive players and O-linemen can drop to the Falcons.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Hey, he led the Browns to their only playoff season since the return!

 

[brentech]

Either way, it's almost always a crap shoot. You never know what someone is going to turn into when they enter the NFL. Sometimes it's the team, sometimes the player has a mental barrier.

Hopefully they finally get their guy.

[Patriots7]

Happy for Lovie, one of my favorite coaches.

Wanted him with the Lions more though. Would have been fantastic, and he gets to embarrass Chicago twice a year for revenge.

Wonder what they're going to do with Glennon.
From my limited knowledge of TB, they have a lot of talent at RB and a great receiving corp. Pretty good defense too.

 

[darkside31337]

Bortles is not a #1 overall pick. Ridiculous that any team would take him over Bridgewater really.

 

[JABEE]

If we took Carr I'd cry like I did when we took Weeden.

Tears of joy, surely.

Playing FIFA 13 for the first time, or rather any FIFA game in years. And playing it against 2 Latino fellows. I am officially getting my ass whooped game after game. Think I've had one shot on goal in 5 games so far. SOCCER IS COMPLEX!

You just let Ray Horton go and brought in Jim Schwartz for DC before you hired a head coach. Oh and this guy...

Is a complete ass clown.

Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora

Assistants Bill O'Brien will want to bring to HOU- Stan Hixon from Penn State (formerly coaches WRs in NFL); Pats TE coach George Godsey

Patriots.....your assistant coaches give them to us.

We don't have a great receiving corp. Jackson and Williams are a solid 1 and 2, but we're pretty thin after that. Plus we need a tight end. Defense was about average last year statistically, but they should be a lot better with the talent they have. Excited to see what Lovie can do with it.

 

[Wes]

By the way, whilst Hortons defence started out hot it was pretty poor the second half of the season.

 

[BlackGhost]

We haven't hired him.
Also Lombardi is a upstanding gentlemen.

FIFA has a big learning curve but it's a blast once you figure things out.
