    Will Steelers want Wilson back?

    One of the issues with Fields is his deep game is practically non existent. It's why Russell Wilson was put in over Fields, he can stretch the field and really exploit the play action passes. Wilson was making much more difficult throws and it shows in advanced stats. His Y/A was way higher than...

    Next offseason is going to be revolutionary

    He also traded way more than he should've for Charlie Whitehurst, Howell, traded for Lock and signed Flynn to a large contract. He seems to prefer going after value propositions above all else. We've really only drafted one QB while he's been here.

    Mike Macdonald Explains Decision to Fire OC Ryan Grubb

    That is the kind of thing you can get away with the the NCAA, especially with a wider field and slower athletes. A lot of times I found myself thinking that Grubb looked like he had a hard time adjusting to the size of an NFL field. His play calls made a lot more sense if you looked at it from...

    QB next year

    The secret is a good dose of luck and an ideal situation. Most of the time it ends up in sadness or signing Ryan Fitzpatrick the every other year that he's a free agent. Which, come to thinking of it I think Wilson is this generations Ryan Fitzpatrick at this juncture in his career.

    Grubb gone, Geno?

    I agree with you here. Geno has made it known that he wants a new contract, several times in fact just this year. He whispered in the offseason that he is looking for a contract and during the regular season he's said the same multiple times. He is for sure making business decisions. He looks...

    Geno gets paid today ....

    Oh they're for sure working together in some capacity, you have no argument from me there. I even gave an example of Knight being drafted because MacDonald really wanted him. As far as QB goes, that one is difficult. Both their jobs will hedge on what is done with that position. Even with the...

    Grubb gone, Geno?

    I'm saying he could bring a similar dynamic into his game. Josh Allen is one of the best QBs in the NFL, the guy has it all -- especially since he reined in his turnovers. I'm not saying Geno will be Josh Allen. What I am saying, is he could pull off some similar things. That doesn't mean...

    Geno gets paid today ....

    I can't comment on their working relationship. Who knows how close Schneider and MacDonald are. What I do know, is when we look at the power hierarchy -- MacDonald has no say on things. MacDonald can bench people, but he cannot cut, nor can he trade, nor can he be the person to pull the trigger...

    Grubb gone, Geno?

    Burrows, Stafford, Goff, Rodgers, Prescott, Mayfield, Carr, Herbert, so on and so forth are all pocket passers and they did pretty darn good this season. You're definitely right. The most frustrating thing about our pocket passer is the fact that Geno is actually very athletic. Back at the...

    Geno gets paid today ....

    We also have to remember one thing here; Mike MacDonald has little say over the personel. Carroll was president of football operations here, a position usually reserved for GMs. Mike MacDonald is your regular joe HC. He doesn't have any control over who Schneider signs, brings in, cuts, etc...

    Mike Macdonald Explains Decision to Fire OC Ryan Grubb

    Depends. A big part of structuring an NFL offense is coming up with blocking schemes for both passing and run blocking. The offensive line not playing good might not necessarily be a Huff issue. It could've been a Grubb issue all along. How an offense structures it's presnap, blocking schemes...

    LB Ernest Jones talks about his Future

    MacDonald's defensive scheme is very complex. I remember Raven fans saying it will take 1-2 years before everything starts gelling in that system. I'm not surprised one bit that he doesn't have it down yet, especially since he was added during the regular season. What is exciting about this is...

    New OC options

    A thought just came to me, Chip Kelly has also been vying for an NFL OC position. He's had success in the NFL with his offenses and he's recently taken a more hard nose approach with his offenses. His issues before was his usage of hurry up to the detriment of his defenses. That hasn't been him...

    Mike Macdonald Explains Decision to Fire OC Ryan Grubb

    I think he wants a balanced attack. Look at where he comes from, he's spent his whole career with the Harbaughs. He came up around Greg Roman types.

    Mike Macdonald Explains Decision to Fire OC Ryan Grubb

    Pete Carroll's issue is he hired garbage coordinators. Bevell, Bates and Waldron are either not coaching or are positional coaches. The only guy still coaching as an OC is Schottenheimer. Carroll's issues also were amplified by having a QB that couldn't play within a proper system. Everywhere...

    Grubb gone, Geno?

    Exactly where I am right now with everything. Geno isn't as bad of a QB as people are making him out to be. People that were chanting start Howell right when we were in the thick of the playoff race were delusional. Geno is the best we have, but that is also the point of frustration. Geno Smith...

    Will Steelers want Wilson back?

    It is really funny if you look at the Steeler fans comments on RW. They're saying the same exact things Bronco and Seahawk fans were saying. The offense looks exactly like the Schottenheimer era passing game under Wilson. RW can win you games, but he's a game manager at this point. Put him on a...

    Mike Macdonald Explains Decision to Fire OC Ryan Grubb

    Clash of philosophy. Mike MacDonald comes from the Harbaugh coaching tree, he's been around both Harbaughs for around 10 years at this point. The question I pose to you is this; did our offense look like anything from a Jim or John Harbaugh lead team? Obviously, Mike MacDonald is his own man...

    Grubb gone, Geno?

    My main point that I was making there is that you hardly ever see lateral moves at OC. The only time you usually see that is if the HC gets fired, or the HC themselves was the offensive mastermind and they have to take a downgrade. The targets for playoff teams would be your passing game...

    Grubb gone, Geno?

    Well, if you get off on QB's being sacked, Howell is your man. The guy holds the football for an eternity and a half.
