I think any wins are a bonus at this point, but I look forward to seeing how our players look now being utilized properly.  We will now be able to better gauge their worth and development...

Also, can't wait to finally see Burns utilized as a pass rusher on third downs instead of dropping into coverage 10 yards downfield and Chinn as a SS when he comes back.

This is exactly what we needed to finish out this season, regardless of what happens next season.

Yeah man but no Chinn needs to move back to LB. Am hyped for Wilks for sure

Chinn is a bonafide SS. That’s his natural position and playing closer to the LOS is his strength. It was rumored that Wilks and Snow were at odds over this. Can’t wait if he will use him in that capacity now that he’s the main man.

I could see Chinn being effective as a hybrid LB/SS role in certain packages but he’d be miscast in a full-time LB role. And we don’t need him there with the depth we currently have.

His rookie year he was a bonifide rookie of the year playing LB and actually making a difference. Got snubbed only b/c we're the irrelevant Panthers. So long as he's playing at the LOS instead of way back out in the middle of nowhere doing nothing it will be a good move for the Panthers and Chinns career.

Wilks and Fitt need to find a QB in the draft. Yes I think Wilks can remain hc. Trade the non-oline vet players and let's plan for the future.

There is absolutely nothing indicating Wilks should remain, he was absolutely awful in AZ, I mean sure, we go on a run and finish 13-4, by all means keep him. But barring that, I just don’t see it

Yeah if they identify a better HC option then go for it. I'm not going to stump for Wilks, but I'm not going to be terribly upset if he stays.

I agree with you on playing closer to the LOS as opposed to playing more in space, which was never his strength. Playing LB full time would not be a good long-term career move for him IMO. And unnecessary with the depth we currently have there.

He was also terrible as our DC.  I think the guy is at his level as a position coach.  There is nothing wrong with that.  He seems like a good dude who connects well with the players . . . but just not more than that.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      I mean.....his guy has to be someone willing to come so Geno Smith is out. If you mean RUSSELL Wilson, that is laughable. Fields and ZACH Wilson are just basically the beginning of the end. These aren't likely to be Geno Smith turnarounds. Fields is further proving that he just isn't much more than a gimmick player. Zach Wilson still probably needs a year or two under some better circumstances before I would consider him a candidate for being a turnaround. He is just jumping straight back into the NY Jets fire here.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      This is factually incorrect. He was a two time Pro Bowler with the Rams and in fact statistically he was better with the Rams in his best season there than he has been with the Lions(could change with this season). Some of his per game stats have creeped into being marginally better with the Lions but there have not been dramatic differences in his play, actually. The biggest reason that McVay and he ended up splitting was McVay didn't think he could win a title with Goff. TBH.....so far he was 100% correct. Stafford almost immediately won them a SB and Goff in a historic run was about 70% of the reason the Lions faltered in the NFC championship game. He missed critical throws all over the first half and throughout the second half that he normally wouldn't. He choked. So, until Goff actually does win a SB...McVay has been right.

      they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era.  but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are. i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now.
