No, the GM never does that, but the media should be able to relate that info shortly.

Emery listed Cutler's career stats and is talking about how hard he battles and gives team chance to come back in games when they are down. Improvement in ball security, distribution to targets, leadership and relationship with coaches. FIRST MEL TUCKER MENTION
-
this is true
-
Three key signings: Tim Jennings, Matt Slauson, Jay Cutler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Emery starting strong: Heck of a rolly coaster ride this year.
-
Uhhhh, Blake may not have meant it but this statement translates to "Trestman didn't get the job done with all the talent he had available to him."
-
I actually think Tucker was just a weird forced hiring. Everybody from the previous regime just bailed on the team after Lovie left, and Tucker sort of became of the default DC, not the first choice. Trestman's job was to fix the offense immediately and hope the defense just stay relevant. Now that he's back in the NFL and his offense proved to be NFL caliber, he should be able to have a better opportunity to hire a new DC.
-
I agree with Pompei though, that I don't think Tucker being fired is a sure thing. I get that it is not a sure thing, but it absolutely should be. Say what you want about the decrease in talent via age and injury, but the talent of anybody in the NFL is good enough that a defensive scheme should be able to occasionally not be awful. They were routinely terrible game in and game out, with no adjustments to improve.

What's that now?
-
Thursday seems late for the end of season media round-up. Seems like a lot of guys were set to do that today. They fired Lovie on Black Monday, just before he was going to address media, right?

NFL coaching carousel/NFL Offseason thread

Interesting. I'm assuming he coached Aaron Rodgers and DeSean Jackson and the like. Not sure if he can run an NFL offense or not. Never had an NFL job. I'm going to put money on this failing. Shades of Lovie's first Bears staff. -

The Dung? Booger McFarland?

I was wondering what the Aaron Rodgers assistant comment meant when I read that earlier. http://deadspin.com/who-will-be-the-most-fascinating-person-in-sports-in-20-1491648228

I don't get. Their Bill Simmons approved GM is obsessed with all things Patriot. -
Eh, there's probably like 20 competently solid QBs out there and probably the same number of head coaches. I wasn't really trying to compare the situations, as I wanted Lovie gone and Jay to return. But was just making a point about how players probably aren't in tune with the front office and its intentions.

Detroit. No Washington. No Dallas. Dallas seems so perfect. -
I wonder what the talk was last year when it came to Lovie's future. I'm guessing they expected him to return. It's a lot easier to randomly, unexpected decide to make a coaching change than to make a QB change, especially when you don't have another QB in place as a replacement. I would think it is just as easy to not bring back an unsigned QB as it is to fire a signed head coach with no external shenanigan issues coming off a 10-6 season. Or at least similarly difficult.

I feel like God owuld turn around most defenses :wink: But in all seriousness, is there much difference really between a 3-4 ILB and 4-3 MLB? I think Dansby has played mostly in 3-4 defenses in his career. Seems to me if the team is desperate for LB help the last thing they want to do is go 3-4, thus requiring even more LB help.
-
I find that statement to be preposterous. They are nothing like a train wreck. We're talking about NFL teams hiring and firing coaches within a year, meddling owners, nutjob head coaches running QBs out of town and guys coming down with diseases. Philly just came off a long run of terrific success and is not even close to being in disarray. The Cubs of the past 15 years are so much more of a train wreck than Philly. Their ownership situation is questionable at best right now and in some way shape or form are being held back by financial issues. Philly doesn't belong on the list.

2013-14 International Free Agency Thread
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Multiple teams blowing past the limit is going to create an extreme rise in inflation for those costs and greatly reduce the value in blowing past the limit to any one team choosing to do so. -
now that's sarcastic

Do you know what the word perspective means? You said their situation mirrors the Cubs. It does not. You said you grew up rooting for the Phillies you'd hate it. Well, you'd be one of the few. If you were the least bit honest you would have loved to have been a Phillies fan the past decade and knowing their financial strength probably have a lot of confidence in an ability to turn things around. Amaro sucks, but that does not compare with the discussion about shitshow organizations that started this entire discussion. The Phillies don't belong the list.
