any quick hits worth sharing?

Most of it was on Steve Wilks, the kind of coach he is, the kind of man he is, and the kind of intensity he brings. Mentioned how he looked forward to his locker room speeches and he thinks he could be the guy for Carolina. Also mentioned that he thinks that bringing in Wilks and Holcomb was planned for this very reason which would go with the rumor Wilks wasn't necessarily a Rhule choice. You could hear the excitement in his voice. He talked some about Rhule and the locker room, but nothing extremely negative about the man. Thinks he's a great college coach but transitioning from college to the pros is completely different, recruitment vs FA, and his staff just didn't have enough experience.

I'm not sitting on the edge of my seat for it...  unless the C3 guy can being something out of Stew with what he has already shared from his source, it's likely to be very benign, safe, and boring...  everything I've seen from Stew on IG while Rhule was here was tip toeing around the actual issues.  I love Stew, but he clearly didn't want to step on any toes and I bekieve has some loyalty to Tepper because he helped him get into a post-career track, IIRC...  so everything he said was generic, "guy have to play better...  I dont think any one person is the problem...  I hate to see a gut lose their job," etc.

That would make me think Stewart wasn't the source on their prior story.

The only reason Tepper felt he could fire Rhule was because he already knew that he had Wilkes and Holcomb ready to take over if Rhule failed. I wondered why Wilkes tookt he role he did and stayed despite not agreeing with Snows's schemes and his college approach. I wouldn't doubt Wilkes  and Tepper talked quite a bit and this makes sense now. Maybe intensity and urgency is what we need to get over hump as everyone wants to say. I know one thing, I really hate the losing. I am tired of everyone else righting their ship at our expense.  Going to games and hearing other teams chanting and happy as we trudge out once again losing in the second half.

Yup, there actually wasn't anyone to take over HC last year if he wanted to fire Rhule. Wilks/McAdoo/Tabor are experienced enough that they probably already had a plan B setup for when Rhule was eventually canned. Also I kinda believe the Wilks/Snow argument stuff, and I don't know if there's been a situation where your "secondary coach" can verbally dispute with your college coaches favorite DC and not get fired immediately

Stew also says they brought Wilks in just in case they ended up in this situation with Rhules trajectory going downhill

So...just curious.   Tepper said the HC gets to pick his staff.  But no way that Rhule hired a guy that was set to replace him.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
