I'm gonna watch this
I'm not really familiar with Whisenhunt's system. I'm just going off of this quote from The Tennessean:

Will they have coverage like with the normal combine?!
I need this in my life.
This man was also a 6th round pick

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I honestly think he ends up in either Atlanta or Denver, sadly.
That's true. But he was picked by the current staff, so they must have seen something they liked. Certainly wouldn't be shocked to see them pick Mariota, but I think they would have to really fall in love with him to ignore other positions of need and select a QB at no. 2.
i thought alex smith went in the first round?

God I hope not. Although I can understand the reasoning...we could easily lose Suh and Fairley this offseason, alongside some vets being cut/leaving. Who knows what he'll be working with next season, if he stays. I maintain Austin and the defense are the biggest reason we made the playoffs.
BTW now that the Bears have a decent coach, and with the Vikings steadily improving...next year will be interesting for the Lions.

#49ers have also released secondary coach Ed Donatell and LB coach Jim Leavitt from their contracts, per source.
I want Jim Leavitt on the Raider's .....

The #Redskins have hired former #Cowboys OC and offensive line coach Bill Callahan to very lucrative three-year contract.

The NFL really needs to make a minor league already.
There is no other position of need bigger than QB. If you hit on one, you're a perennial playoff contender.
The Titans especially need only a QB to contend in that shit sandwich division.

They're bringing in new coordinators. Couple that with a change to 4-3...seems like a huge continuity change. I'm also worried about development seeing as how Donatell has been a miracle worker getting value out of our patchwork secondary. And don't get me started about the offensive side of the ball. Yes, running the ball is still important but not as important as developing a passing game. It's like Jed wants to go to pre West Coast offense era football...
TBH I dunno. I've always thought that OLB need to be able to blitz or cover depending on which side they lineup on. I suppose Willis and Bowman can do both...I just don't get changing what wasn't broke in the first place.
Tomsula is a D coach. The DC he brings in will be doing what he wants, which is the continuity. And I agree it sucks to lose Donatell, but he was gone after this year when his contract ended anyways, he was going to get a promotion somewhere. Not a big deal to me, it's part of the game.
As for the O, we have to wait and see. But continuing to force a horribly schemed pass game is not the answer.
And if they do change, I see it less as fixing what isn't broken and more getting great players on the field. Do you really want Borland sitting on the bench?

So the Jets might hire former Jags GM to their front office. Do not let near the draft board.
This is the official photo the Raiders Twitter account used for Del Rio. It looks like an obituary picture more than anything. Which I suppose is appropriate for anyone that is about to start coaching the Raiders.
lol. Listened to a bit of Cowherd, he was talking aboit Del Rio taking the job, thinks he will succeed in Oakland. Was also taking about Cardale Jones. thought he had physical tools but doesn't see him being a guy who puts in the time to be successful.

Cosell going in on Cardale Jones on Russ Tucker podcast. Says Cardale doesn't know 1st thing about playing QB.
Media/analyst say he should come out and his stock will never be higher, gets shredded minutes after rumors of him entering draft lol.
All the more reason to declare now honestly. His stock will never be higher and he doesn't need to give scouts a full year to pick apart his game and find all the flaws. Even worse, he could sit on the bench for an entire season.
I don't think "he should declare now" and "he'll be an awful NFL quarterback" are mutually exclusive thoughts.
Cosell can shut the entire fuck up with his "no shit" analysis. The QB played in three of the biggest college football games and balled. He's as much of a project at the next level as Mariotta. Matter of fact, if Cosell fellates Mariotta in any capacity then his analysis is invalid forever on some Skip Bayless shit.
If Cardale is hanging around in the any time after the third round the Browns need to take a flyer on him. We've got to develop Johnny anyway but need a fallback plan in case Johnny continues to not care about starting for this team. Plus, Cardale is from Glenville so take him anyway. Don't ask me who's starting next year at all.

I feel like after the Matt Barkley fiasco more and more QBs will start coming out as soon as their stock is high enough. I mean if you go from a first rounder to whatever Barkley ended up as that's a huge loss of income. Barkley was a sure fire top 5 pick, future starter and now he will be lucky to be more than a career back up.
Go get paid Cardale.
The Browns would force him out there way too early and destroy his career, just like the last 21 qbs they've had.
I saw that BS gif... 9ersGAF is responsible for Ken Dorsey. SteelersGAF is responsible for Bruce Gradowski. We didn't draft Thad Lewis or half the QBs on that list, off the top of my head. QBs are drafted to QB needy teams like Tom Brady in New England and Andrew Luck in Indy.
Oh. The Browns have only drafted half of their bust qbs. You'll be fine, then.
I have never been this confused after reading a post, in my life

lol makes more sense now
I think if we end 2016 with a losing season, they will be gone. With all the questions around why weren't let go along with Mike Smith, they are directly in the hot seat.

JT Barrett's going to start if he's healthy next year.
So Cardale's choice is between not getting paid to sit on the bench at OSU or getting paid to sit on the bench at an NFL team and develop.

No one wants to take a hc job with a lame duck front office. They're fucked.

Stop pls.
Not necessarily. If you a coach with aspirations of having total control over personnel. Which I could see Blank offering behind closed doors.
Probably wishful thinking on my part. :-/

Quiz, what round was Brady drafted in?

Hmmm wonder why Gase turned the job down then...then again with that ownership in place, he might have been scared off.
Lundy was swearing up and down that his source was correct at the time, guess he was right!
It is interesting that he's starting to garner a ton of interest from other teams as OC...I'm not really interested in having him as a head coach, he could use a tad more experience as OC and not just OC with Peyton Manning as your QB.
