Announcers seem unable to figure out what Dallas might do even though it seems fairly obvious.

Drop back, wait 3 seconds, then launch a moonball out of bounds to kill the clock.

Edit: Yep, there we go.

I keep on forgetting Derek Stingley Jr was drafted before Sauce Gardner, how has he not made a pro bowl yet? Sauce Gardner is getting destroyed by the football media for being so bad.

hmm…I’d like to hear him say that they need to get Mixon and Nico 15 more total fantasy points in a half PPR league.

Guess he's not getting a head job like he was in line for last year, lol

You know who else was in line for a head coaching job? Lou Anarumo, the DC for the Bengals.
He ain't getting shit for coaching such a bad defense for Cincinnati.

Ben Johnson the OC for Detroit is gonna be a hot commodity as he pretty much is putting up monster gameplans for the Lions.

Cooridinators have to pounce on an opportunity for a HC job or else it's gonna be gone. Ray Horton and Kris Richards, both whom were hot commodities for HC jobs back in the day lost their luster when they produced some bad defences. They were never able to recover.

I wouldn’t say Kelce is terrible like Jason Witten was as a TV analyst

But he isn’t good either
He doesn’t know where to look, so he just looks at the ground

I saw a breakdown of that Allen run and it is crazy how perfectly KC actually played that play. The design is a pass to Shakir on a crossing route. The Chiefs are showing man…but are in zone. The right half of the field switches off to man to keep Shakir locked up. There is no possible pass open anywhere on the field. And…because they’re in zone everyone is facing Allen so he shouldn’t be able to take off as easily.

But. O’Cyrus Torrence wins his one on one rep against Chris Jones and gets him pushed all the way to Allen’s left…opening a hole that shouldn’t be there and letting him out. I don’t know how many one on one reps Torrence would win out of 100 against Chris Jones. But he won that one and it blew up KC’s perfect play call and execution. Everyone is covered. There is no big roll out…no real run option. The guard just happened to create one.

Witten was a color commentator. Kelce is an analyst. Witten had the tougher job as his lasts 3 hours.

Anarumo got interviews, but I question how serious any of that was.

One thing that benefits coordinators is their teams exiting the playoffs early. Shouldn’t be that way…but it is. Teams don’t want to wait for some reason. I guess because everyone else will get their staffs filled out. But I remember Sean McDermott was hired by Buffalo coming off of his worst year as a DC. He was a hotter candidate the year before…but Carolina went to the Super Bowl that year and no one waited. Johnson is hot enough that someone will wait. But I wouldn’t be surprised, if there are enough openings, to see a coordinator who is coming off a down year get the call. It’s stupid to me…but it is what it is. Brandon Beane got a proposition on the table at Gm meetings a few years ago that teams would wait to hire coaches until after the conference finals or something…to stop penalizing the guys whose teams kept winning. It failed obviously

I remember when Adam Gase was hired by Miami, he was riding high because he was the WB coach and OC for Denver when Peyton Manning was putting up monster offense. I totally forgot he went to Chicago for a cup of coffee to be their OC for 1 year, Bears went 6-10 and no playoffs.

I guess Miami wanted some of Adam Gase.

The Eagles wanted to hire Vic Fangio last year, even though he was consulting them in their run up to the Super Bowl the previous season. And he wanted that job instead of the Dolphins. But he didn't feel he could wait, because no one knew if Jonathan Gannon would get the Cardinals job. And then they found out he was talking to the Cardinals outside of the interview windows, so he always was getting that job, and two other teams were left unhappy.

49ers waited on Kyle Shanahan, and look at them.

The most important thing should be getting your guy. But everyone wants to get to work on the draft.
