I wonder if they plan to interview more candidates?

Eleven candidates isn't enough? :)

Haven't seen any indication. There were other names previously mentioned as possibilities but no other requests have been submitted.

I'd love to get this wrapped up this week. 

This being the one year anniversary of the Matt Rhule hire, getting it done today would be cool.

For the record, I'm still pulling for Peters, Dodds or Ireland, though I'd be okay with Schoen too.

Dodds or Peters and I'm ecstatic, Ireland I'm happy, Schoen I'm good with it.

Anyone else I'm hopeful (to what level depends on their prior resume).

Seeing a pattern?

Of looking at cap guys when Rhule specifically said he wants a talent evaluator?

Oy :eyeroll:

One of the things that made Marty Hurney so bad at his job was that he all too often believed he was the smartest guy in the room when he was actually far from it. David Tepper could conceivably be that same guy, one who thinks he's gonna revolutionize everything but actually just ends up failing.

I'd hate to think we finally got out from under the thumb of Jerry Richardson just to wind up stuck with someone else who doesn't know what he's doing either.

Ok, thanks for filling in the gaps!

It's strange we are looking at cap specialist when we have one in house hired for that reason. I fear you are right but still hope it's due diligence. Cap expertise sure as hell doesn't help us find talent. That's where we need to improve. 

Honestly, the NFL is set up where the ownership can be the point of failure so many ways. Rhule is endearing himself to me by targeting an area of weakness, I don't really blame an owner for not getting that. Hopefully Rhule can get his guy, that is a guy who is a talent evaluator. I also get Tepper leaning towards a Cap Specialist, the financial strength overlaps his strengths making him comfortable. Seems like a natural struggle for an NFL team, fingers crossed we can fall on the right side of this one.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
