Wise move: yeah. And unexpected. It was hard to see how to navigate the situation to where If they feel like Canales should be relieved of the play calling burden they have a legit person to give it to. Because to this point, they didn’t. And they did it without firing Idzik. Who is from a football family background and probably has potential - he just isn’t there yet for the play calling trust. Both the HC and the OC can lean on this man, who has been an interim HC twice himself and a SB OC. It checks a lot of boxes on the surface. And another set of qualified eyes, with an unbiased outside perspective, evaluating the QB situation seems like a good thing as well.

Good lord I have tried to say okay we’ll see but that apparently isn’t good enough for you. I am done with you on this. They have to defend the indefensible. See what they do. They only so many ways I can parse what these attorneys do in these modern times we are in. And if you can’t see it, I can’t see it for you.

Well, they now have a person they could credibly reassign play calling to, if it becomes an issue that rises to the level where that type of move is being called for. He is the guy that called the Malcom Butler pass play at the goal line in the SB. Which will live in infamy.

I am wrong if the attorneys don’t go there. We’ll see.

Wow. That’s kind of out of nowhere for me. Seattle connection I guess.

The 2015 team was good enough that people could know what was coming and we would still be successful. It was so much fun to watch. I don’t remember if Cam’s “oh you been watching film? Well watch this” comment is from that season but it should have been. Best thing he ever said too. That I heard. I think it was simple. We were the better team on the field all season and on paper for that Super Bowl. But we went in overconfident, got smacked in the mouth, and didn’t respond for whatever reason, like we needed to. Add some unfavorable calls, put it in the books.

He could probably still be playing. Or maybe just retired. Definitely lost years off his career, went out at a super high level of play, I saw the team interview with him about the HOF today and he said he still misses it. He caught a really bad break.

People don’t seem to get that I am not defending this guy or impugning the victim or the police (outside of that photo lol), but that I am pointing out the sad state of the legal process and low ethics of attorneys these days. I am not arguing facts of the case, and am pointing that these ambulance chasers disregard facts and make up these narratives because sucker juries sometimes have such great biases that they nullify. The attorneys go for their Hail Marys and it happens nearly every damned week in the news. With a judge or a DA not charging, releasing, and juries ignoring the law because they take a side on an issue. It is a common and predictable game plan and I am saying don’t be surprised at the absurdities these attorneys try to pass off as reality. The popular strategy is turn the criminal into the victim. Facts never get in the way of these fugers arguing for bullshit when it comes to the police. Who I am not a fan of and don’t trust fwiw but all you have to do is observe and you will see them do it. As far as punishment, the league has been less lenient than judges in most of these cases. So I expect them to drop the hammer. Actually I might have been pondering how a guy with millions of his own and a big time fancy car throws it all away on LaWanda.

Okay thanks cool. Reading your post it’s coming back to me, but I should refresh my familiarity before I start ranting at why would we have been chasing a guy with that on his record and facing a suspension… The stuff about how it would or would not affect his contract can go for any team… in this case the Texans. It is more a wondering at why people that break basically what would be called a morals clause are not impacted contractually.

Yeah I would say if they had an out they would obviously have taken it. Just seems like these big deals should have some clauses in them for criminal type behavior. I guess his exposure was civil more than criminal…. the victims more interested in settlement money than seeing him punished with a conviction. Like I said I haven’t really followed and I guess I am saying it a shame he still gets paid out on that deal. That the team has to give it up, and that he profits so much from doing harm.

Morgan and Schoen are buds, socially. Beane too. So looking at NYG as a trading partner makes some sense. I think his history with Seattle could include them as well. If anyone is getting scapegoated in Buffalo we might could get a good deal. I haven’t really followed the Bills but they will have a new DC I think. So some change there is maybe an opportunity.

I haven’t followed the tawdry tale of Watson and his massage therapy, basically at all. Being ignorant, I have to wonder how that stuff doesn’t relieve his employers from their financial obligations. Seems like that is a ‘for cause’ scenario.

If no one said who was the youngest it was Gale Sayers. And the list of youngest guys to be inducted, has one icon after another on it. Look it up and be impressed.

yeah. He would have had to have one of those 4 pick outings to overcome their advantages. But we have seen that happen. I looked at his stats mid 2nd qtr, they were not good.

Crosby and a stud ILB would ramp this defense way up. It’s Luke’s HOF induction year, he is a symbol for what we lack. We need to get in touch with our history and seriously address that position again.

It seemed pretty clear to me after seeing them here, and closing out the season, that Seattle could win behind that defense. Made me wish I still gambled, I would have collected some money. The only way NE wins that game is if Sam hands it to them.

I see it every day. Just watch CSPAN lol. But look at the lawyers, the media, it is every day with the over the top counter accusations. Blame the victim is one of the leading legal strategies of our current time. They don’t care if what they say is not true or reasonable or anything. edit: I guess we’ll see what they have to say. Trying to shift blame off him and onto anyone else, is about all they have. High likelihood they come up with some angle making him a victim. Maybe they still lose… I don’t think expecting the low road is unreasonable any more.

I suspect that too but McCarthy Should be interested.

Yeah you never see an attorney try to blame the cops for anything.

Lol almost looks like Jamie Fox when did that female character back in the day. LaWanda?

So they have us 3rd in the division. Realists.

I can deal with it for the right cost, it would need to be a handful of slots. 2-3 slots and that’s from where we are now. Or lower. Cost wise trading from 33-32 wasn’t that bad. Going up to take Brooks wasn’t that bad. Cost wise. Not talking about the players involved just cost of doing the deal. You have to be right, whatever the cost or it is a fail.

Screw the 2027 2nd. Next…..

McCarthy should be interested.

My two rules, that really piss me off if broken are trading future 1st round picks, and hiring a college coach with no NFL track record. I mean, I would be comfortable skipping the ones with a good NFL track record but a couple have done well, so… And that is what Tepper did that cost us many seasons.
