Wasn't there something in that other thread that said Reich was going to be Wilks OC? Now, it was Johnson?

It was something that people said they would like.  Also was a report that Tepper liked both and wish he could have both which fueled that speculation.

Cowboys will interview Panthers running backs coach Jeff Nixon for the team's offensive coordinator vacancy. 

Nixon took over offensive play calling for the Panthers in 2021 after OC Joe Brady was fired by Matt Rhule. Nixon, 48, interviewed for offensive coordinator openings in Vegas and Jacksonville last year. One of the run heaviest teams in recent NFL history, the 2022 Panthers had two efficient backs (D'Onta Foreman and Chubba Hubbard) after Christian McCaffrey was traded to the 49ers. Carolina ranked seventh in rush EPA over the season's final eight weeks. Hiring Nixon could be a signal that Mike McCarthy wants to get back to basics in 2023 with a decidedly run-first scheme.

Pay your QB that fat contact to go back to run first basic offense…. Poor Cowboys. They might be in the Sean Payton sweepstakes next offseason.

My top choice for D.C is Kris Richard and I highlighted why in another thread.

But my second choice would be John Butler from this bills. His bio looks pretty good too.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.

      They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
