He declined to interview last season because he wanted another year under his belt and saw the special season Detroit was poised to have.

 

He is the type of coach we need.  Young, exciting, and pushing cutting edge plays that are required in today's NFL.

I wanted Steichen last year.   Can't settle for a "safe choice" like Reich.

I disagree with anybody thinking that Carolina is going to struggle having candidates interview.  It's the NFL.   These guys are competitive and think they can turn it around.  

I think it actually speaks to growth that Tepper swallowed his ego and admitted he made a bad hire.  Tepper needs to fire Fitterer too and bring in a tandem that are aligned.    

 

But Johnson is who I want us to spend every penny we can on.    Would love Evero with him but I think that's a pipe dream.

Pretty sure he interviewed with Houston and Indy. Only declined to interview here. "Pulled himself from consideration" for the other jobs and said it was because he wanted to stay in Detroit and continue to build another year but everyone knows his agent had already gotten word that he wasn't going to get either of those jobs. The last 10 months certainly won't help us convince him to interview this go around.

If Evero won't even take the interim job after what he's seen I put the odds of Ben Johnson wanting anything to do with this trainwreck and ownership at about 5%. What has transpired here will only further cement his instincts earlier in the year when he declined us.

I get the pessimism.  It's deserved.

I am choosing to be hopeful because it beats feeling that the future is lost already.   

 

Evero didn't want to be the interim in Denver and didn't hear.  I don't think it's a "situation" thing but more that he just doesn't want to complicate his life.  He has made a name for himself as a DC and interim tag may impact him.

 

I think Johnson will strongly consider.   And although we hate Tepper, I don't know that most coaches will view him in the same light that we do as fans.

Evero declined the interim job with the Broncos last year. He doesn't want an interim job anywhere and I don't blame him.

I assume he knows full well the odds of interim coaches succeeding in the NFL. He will get a legitimate shot sooner or later.

Dude ain’t coming here if he’s got options. I think the “who would wanna come here?!?!” angle is probably overblown, there’s only 32 of these jobs and Dave tepper has lots of money.

but yeah, no, this is the one guy where I’m like “no he definitely isn’t”

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
