Interviews: Round Two

Recommended Posts

I like the idea of canales, but the one thing that would scare me is no one else is interviewing him. Seems strange Carolina is the only one who identified him unless I’m missing something.

i said before the process started these are the only acceptable options in order:

1. Ben Johnson

2. Bobby Slowik

3. Dave Canales

4. Mike Macdonald

and I can be sold on evero if you can’t get one of the above.

Because it just seemed like wasted resources if the overall decision to hire Evero came from Tepper... What was the point of even going through this process then??

I don't really care about resources. I just think Evero is a good candidate. Tepper is far from the only one who would hire him. He was getting interest at HC before he came here and made our defense respectable amongst the turmoil and scheme change.

I believe if Evero gets hired as an HC elsewhere we get a draft pick, so I’d be down with that.

Candidate pool isn't complete yet

I don't know... I think I read somewhere (maybe on here) that the Panthers are moving quietly away from Johnson. The only other two we have shown interest in is MacDonald and Monken so is quite possible one, if not both, could get a second interview

But if the reports are true that they want a tandem that has worked together, then Canales makes the most sense.

The more I think about it I’m a bit torn on Ben Johnson, his oline is very very good, so would he struggle without it? Some of the best plays from the Lions are slower developing because the line gives Goff plenty of time. But maybe I’m overthinking it?

Haven't seen that anywhere

No denying the Canales prospects may be gaining more steam w/ Morgan taking the helm.

Looking over Tampa's offensive staff - it looks like the majority of assistants were on staff a good bit before Canales arrived in the offseason. Brad Idzik, the current Bucs WR's coach came with Canales to Tampa. Looks to have maybe had a larger role in Seattle offense while with Seahawks - including offensive quality control & assistant qb coach. Also a Wake grad for those keeping local scores. So he was there for both resurgences of Geno Smith & Baker. Too green for OC? Obviously you'd think Canales would call the shots - so maybe that could be the move. 

The big question with Canales would be DC. Wonder what that could look like. Would Evero consider sticking around again at DC - if we pass on him for HC 2 years in a row? There were ties to Capers last year, but his role seemed pretty quiet as the season went on. Not sure if he's planning on hanging around. 

Worth eyeing for sure.

*BRIAN Johnson. The one that they didn’t even interview. Unless there’s some new report about Ben Johnson that I haven’t seen circulating yet. 

Yeah, could be it but I swear I saw someone posting that the Panthers were quietly going away from Ben Johnson... I am going to research it a little more... Could just be someone talking out of their arse though.

    • This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case. 
    • And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo. 
    • I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
