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.

    • Film Room Playlist _ NFL Pro — Mozilla Firefox 2024-11-25 10-20-11.mp4 🎯🎯🎯 There were a couple of "fans" yesterday saying that this wasn't a helmet-to-helmet shot... 👀 Looks like based on where Moore was and where the play ended, he'd have gotten maybe just a yard or two more. Chuba was downed at the KC 16 and Moore was on his way back to the QB, so the offense got what they could for the most part. After reviewing the all-22, Bryce made the right call here. Tremble was the hot and KC sent both LBs. He gets it out with a clear pocket but it's quickly collapsing. If there was a little more time it looked like AT came free at the end but whether or not Bryce would've been upright still is another story. Smart move to get the completion and keep the field goal in play to stay alive. George Karlaftis is about to get himself a big ole hug and Bryce heaves it to where David Moore is going. Trent McDuffie slipped just a step or two before this shot, but we can see the clear DPI here as he's wrapped around David Moore before knocking him over as the ball gets there.
    • I’m taking a TE early day 3 Ian Thomas and Tremble are FA.  We should have no desire to bring them back.   There’s more than enough film of ball bouncing off their hands or facemask.
    • Daniel Jones sometimes would sling it for 300 or 400 yards.  That's my stance.  We know what Bryce is.  If you consistently play any QB at this level, they largely are going to end up w/ some good days/games.  last time Mahomes was at BOA, Teddy Bridgwater threw for 300+ yards and a couple TDs and the Matt Rhule Panthers almost took him down.  We know what Bryce is.  Now we got people predictably falling into a predictable trap.
