Broncos DC Evero is getting four interviews.. SF DC Ryans has multiple requests...

Said this before, but it's important to remember that the LA Chargers already run Payton's system, which was installed when the Chargers hired Joe Lombardi from the Saints. Seamless transition for the players to go from Staley to Payton.

Fat lady ain't singing yet, but she's warming up.

Charles Omenihu got the sack. Bosa with the recovery.

Only ticking for Fitt. New HC should have a honeymoon year. That's why I like both the GM and HC to be on the same "clock."

Said this elsewhere, but if you're not going to take a QB at 9, you've got to do everything to can to trade down and get a 2024 1st rounder to help you move up next year.

Slightly pessimistic because I don't know that Tepper knows what he is doing and this is Fitterer first time even being around a coach search much less leading it. I still hope they get it right.

Someone has to explain to me why Ryans will have more success than Saleh has up to this point.

If this is the plan, you have to try to trade back from 9 and get a '24 1st rounder to give you ammunition to move up for your QB in '24.

This would support the idea they are waiting to talk to Leftwhich. They can't talk to him this week because he's coaching the WC game.

I wonder how much Lamar's contract situation is playing into him sitting out this weekend?

The locker room in August will look different than it did in December. The new coach will typically bring in several of "his guys". It happens to every team that hires a new coach.

I'll just remind you this is the first time Fitt has been in head coaching search. Carrol was already in Seattle when Fitt got there.

Do you mean young Marcedes Lewis, who was an absolute weapon in the passing game, or current Marcedes Lewis, who is hands down one of the best blocking TEs in the game.

What metric are you using? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm just trying to understand how we're measuring this.

Every previous time a division has been won by a sub-.500 team (and Tampa finished 8-9), the following season the division winner had at least 10 wins. It's a tiny sample size, but thus far, it's been consistent.

Virtually? Steichen I kind of understand as he probably wants to spend time in Philly getting ready for their divisional game, but Johnson's season is over. Why not fly him in? Expediency, or maybe waiting for the second round of interviews?

We were saved in the New Orleans game by Michael Jordan (of all people falling) on Sam's fumble in the end zone, Andy Dalton missing a wide open receiver on their final 3rd down (just didn't see him coming open), and their kicker missing multiple field goals.

I'd keep Tabor as well, but a giant YES to keep Campen.

It might be even more different next season. Scoring was down this year. I expect the NFL will look to address it. We need a bright offensive mind either as HC or an OC to take advantage of the new rules if they come.

Thus far, the 49ers look no worse for making that deal even with Lance not working out at all so far. They still are one of the favorites to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.

I really miss Gruden's old QB Camp show. I'd LOVE to see this year's class (AR15 included) on there.

Murray likely won't be ready for week 1. Murray (knee) "probably" won't be ready for Week 1 of the 2023 season, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Are you assuming Jackson is tagged? I believe he's scheduled to be a FA.
