It was fun while it lasted... Love Wilks as a man, but today was the final word on defensive head coaches... In the words of Mike Singletary, "Don't want them. Can't win with them."

Have you really not learned the lesson about hiring Brady’s offensive coordinators? Hard pass on leftwich. Seen that show before and rather not see it here…

Who has a HoF level QB...

And that.  Ron Rivera owes his entire HC career to Cam.  A generational talent at QB certainly masks a ton of deficiencies that are inherent to a conservative defensive HC.  I also cited the struggles Tomlin and Bekichick are going through now without a QB.

I wasn't saying for us.  I'm saying, he is highly regarded in the league and will get a shot soon.  And also having Brady males him look a lot better than he would otherwise.

Leftwich ain’t getting a HC job anywhere.

in fact, word down here in Tampa, he very well will be canned as OC this offseason.   Dude is terrible.

Had they faced any other team other than us, they would've lost.

It's very telling that they struggled against the damn Cardinals and put up 30 points on us.

Leftwich was highly regarded. Anymore I think he owes that to Tom Brady.

I dont disagree.  I was never super impressed with Leftwich...  I really liked him as a player, but I always felt the majority of TB's success and system was Arians' stuff and then Brady tinkered with it.  I'm just saying I know he was highly regarded when the Bucs were tearing it up, and I believe got some interviews last year.  But, I'm also willing to bet their offensive success isn't solely because of Brady, although most of it is.  If those rumors are true, when they fire Leftwich, Bowles is gonna fold just like all the other defensive coaches do with a competent OC and HOF QB.  That place is gonna implode fast.

Just quoted myself to share that I also pounded the table for us to hire Arians way back too.  Twice!  Including when TB hired him out of retirement.

And here we are, still spinning our wheels.

I mean, I wouldn’t mind an O minded guy either but if you look at the current playoff standings it’s about 50/50. 

I posted on here last year, and it’s about 50/50 with Super Bowls the last 10-15 years too. 
 

Look at Nathaniel Hackett, Arthur Smith, Kliff Kingsbury. It depends on leadership more than anything.

He got interviews last year.

but reality came this year once Arians left and everyone realized outside of Tampa who was really calling the shots. Most of Tampa’s success has been when they let Brady call the shot this year.  In fact the Saints game comeback.  That last game winning drive.  TB12 actually told Bowles, I’m calling the plays this one.

Leftwich has been awful.  Bowles could be out too.  But Leftwich will be the first one, who’s play-calling has been a big issue

      Verge, why do you like Mykel Williams?

      No, but considering that over a third (~35%) of their schedule are the other three teams in the NFC South and all three have strong starting (and back-up) RBs that the offense leans heavily on to open up the pass game. ATL: Bijan has this season and next season before the Falcons have to make a decision on his fifth-year option, Tyler Allgeier is a proven back-up RB that could start for some teams, and 2024 sixth-round selection Jase McClellan returns from a knee injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season starting in early September. Combine that with their QB situation, and that's a team that is going to lean heavily on the run just like they did last season when they were 8th in the league in rushing attempts, 10th in rushing yards, 8th in rushing TDs, 9th in rushing attempts on 1st down, . NO: Similar situation as ATL, but for different reasons. Derek Carr is in the second to last year of his deal and the QBs behind him are Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener, and Ben DiNucci. However, they also have Alvin Kamara. One thing that we know about Kellen Moore from his stints as an OC is that he likes to lean heavily on a versatile RB1 while bringing in an arguably equally versatile RB2 to keep their foot on opposing defenses. When Moore had Zeke in Dallas, Zeke was 4th in the league in touches during those four years but Pollard still averaged 10 touches and nearly 60yds a game. Look for the Saints to shore up their RB room in the draft with Kendre Miller, CEH, Jordan Mims, and Xazavian Valladay all competing for touches behind Kamara. TB: Bucky Irving exploded onto the scene last season, but we can't forget more than capable (now-)RB2 Rachaad White. White is on the last year of his rookie deal, but Irving is under contract until 2028. Last season, the Bucs were 10th in rushing attempts, 4th in rushing yards, 3rd in YPC, 7th in carries of 20+, 8th in carries of 40+, and 7th in first down rushing attempts and that helped Baker Mayfield be one of the most efficient passers in the league with a 71.4% completion percentage (good enough for 2nd in the league).
