Boy I'm glad they didn't give up Lonzo

If I've understood anything about the cap from you and others, it's that CASH spending can make all the perceived CAP issues go away, or greatly diminish.

How have we not talked about this here before?! I mean, she was 102! And RIP, Ginnie
-
Micah Parsons Jr??
-
Virtually every player takes the most money, especially a guy like Smith who has been getting paid 6th round money
-
I can't find the blue jacket on the Cubs shop. I guess I'll have to settle for this
-
Isn't Loomis more of a President Type in actual role? He also manages the Pelicans - is that right? I thought he was the GM for another pro team. My point is he must be steering the ship but delegating traditional GM responsibilities to Player Personnel types, etc. No way he is doing it all for both teams the way a ordinary GM would Is this crazy talk?
-
Brady has opted out of the Saints job. Gonna do the Ben Johnson thing and make everyone want him more next year. I guess that's easy to do when the QB is Josh Allen. Come on down, McCarthy?

I heard clips of this podcast on the score the other day Annoying bears twitter/podcaster (check the start of this video if you don't believe me) got an interview with Ben Johnson's agent, Rick Smith. Hopefully it starts at the beginning of the interview (38 minutes in on the Apple podcast) Key Takeaways: George McCaskey is not an impediment to winning. Rick Smith told them everything that is wrong with their team and they either already knew it or accepted the feedback. Without this he would have directed Johnson to target other openings. Kevin Warren was/is instrumental in helping the Board understand how to operate their franchise (he really is Ving Rhames). The 20 interview requests does not mean the team is incompetent. The team is mining for information on Johnson, looking up the other 31 franchises' skirt to understand how they operate/etc. Rick Smith/the agency is doing homework on Poles and the rest of the Bears to make sure that the team is good enough for their client. The interview is the last piece of the vetting puzzle. Poles and Johnson are ideologically aligned enough to work together. This is the "alignment" that Smith signaled to the Bears after Flus got fired. It really was a clear communication floated from Smith to the Bears.

Tom Brady making his mark? Not what I thought it would look like Carroll is a floor raiser. They need competency and he should be able to provide it

The Hoge and Jahns podcast was pannin the Waldron hire yet again, this time stating that everything Morgan had done in previous seasons to coach up the OL on the outside zone run game was tossed out the window by Waldron. Couple that with DAndre - I'm just gonna bump it outside - Swift and the result is the lousy run game we had. The product on the field seems to jive with five guys not being in sync or comfortable with the pass protections either. All the missed free runners up the middle for weeks on end. I guess they were trying to put a finer point on the dysfunction of Caleb's rookie year. Johnson definitely gives us a lot to get excited about and wonder on, knowing that he is going to essentially design the scheme around Caleb.

That's what Twitter said - Sounds like Cohen had the same concern

After Johnson asked if they would consider a change
-
Double post

Great video Detroit has their starting LG Zeitler coming into FA. This would be a logical pick up as a short term starter (guy is 35). Will be fun to see if they can plug all the holes in FA (at least in some way) so they can truly be BPA in the draft.
-
Is Angellini a possible starter? He looked good in his short relief outing against Georgia
-
Maybe you have some insight as to why can ND not get an above average to great QB. Are they not paying the NIL money? Is the ND lifestyle something that turns off ALL the best QB recruits? Every time I watch them I'm amazed that their QB is the best one on the roster
-
Dennis Allen selection has been praised by several NFL media types on Twitter. I do love the idea that DA would be head coach/defense while Johnson can be head coach/offense. Also word that Rizzi will come from NO to be ST Coach. Fraley possibly coming from Detroit as OL Coach or maybe have to elevate him to OC
-
Twitter guys who were calling Johnson to the Bears say 6/90 That is in line with what I heard last year, which was that Johnson wanted $15MM/yr.
-
He also tosses the Jordan Love floater downfield and has receivers go and get it. Not taking anything away from him, just can't see that from our team very often
-
I listen to the Athletic Football show; their quote on McCarthy is that his career winning percentage is right between Bill Walsh and Tom Landry. Yes, he looks and sounds like an idiot, but he is a solid offensive coach and what they call a "floor raiser" As much as I want the super sexy high ceiling coach I"m not sure this team is ready for it given how the locker room broke up. They might need more of a boring, steady hand. That's not the opposite of Flus in the personality department, but it is in terms of competency as a head coach and on the correct side of the ball.
-
That Athletic mock had Campbell at 18, thinking he at least starts at G
-
No way, hope is up to #8 in MLB??
-
At this point I think the Commanders have the fairy dust coated on them like stripper glitter that won't come off Hard to see them beating the Lions, but they are a charmed team right now
