Bad no call on broncos D too. Guy was hanging on Cooks in the end zone. No flag and had to settle for 3. Yet the Broncos got those calls on next drive.

This is their Frank Reich hire. Owner forcing DC with new HC, QB uncertainty, overhyping an underwhelming coach. I saw this movie in 2023

NFL regretting those PI calls now

Raheem Morris is the logical option. Hes already familiar with the defense, he was Evero’s boss and mentor. He is already familiar with the division. And apparently knows how to stop Tyler Shough so that’s a plus. I think Cooley follows Evero, I wouldn’t be opposed to Wash but I think there is more upset with Morris. I don’t think Flores is coming here. I wouldn’t be shocked if he backfilled Jesse Minter. Then again I could see Morris going back to LA to backfill Shula if he is hired.

This isn’t bad for us. He had a couple of good seasons with Baker, Chubb, and one of the best defenses in the last 5 years. Falcons have a bunch of guys to resign and are in QB purgatory. I think he’s competitive one year and gone by year 3.

Not making excuses for him because he has made some really bad decisions at times (like last Saturday). And is ultra conservative with the defense. But compared to other teams he has been on, he has had the least amount of talent here.

I think it’s because of who he has coached under. Raheem Morris, Dom Capers, Vic Fangio

I got: Bills over Broncos. I think it will be close but Sean Payton notoriously chokes in the playoffs and I don’t think anyone wants to play Josh Allen. 24-21 Seahawks over 49ers. I think it’s close and Darnold is likely injured but the defense wins it. 20-17 Texans over Patriots. Patriots had one of if not the easiest schedule this year. They struggled with LAs defense which is nowhere near what Houston has. Probably low scoring. 17-13 Bears over Rams: Rams think our home field advantage is bad. They are about to play in Chicago, with single digit temperatures, high wind, and flurries. 30-21

If he lands a HC job he will like take Cooley as DC. (Would be 3 3rd round picks btw). I imagine we would promote Wash or hire Raheem Morris due to familiarity with the system. Evero would need a OC though. Wonder about Zac Robinson since they know each other from LA

Can extend Lewis and make that cap hit go down a good bit. Need to look at restructuring some of Brown, Horn, Moehrig, maybe Hunt.

Our number for 2026 is 40,000,000. The 2025 is for this league year which we are carrying over. Yeah. There are a lot of ways to double that. Go to sport trac or over the cap and mess it with. Can restructure a few of our higher contracts into void years and convert to bonuses. Can also do the same when signing guys. Give them a bonus up front and spread it out. Trust me the Saints go into every season at like -80 million. I predict we will be in the 80-90 million range when Dan/Brandt are done.

I hope he’s ready to watch some film with Dave and Brad

I always assumed the 3-4 was Reich’s call because that’s what he ran in Indy and if I remember right, I don’t think we interviewed a DC from a 4-3 scheme

He did but he didn’t dictate Rhule having that hybrid 3-3-5 with Snow. That was Snow’s system. I think we just run a 3-4 now because Frank did and he hired Evero who runs that system.
