McVay has all the potential in the world. He grew up with the game and will at 40 have more experience as a coach then pretty much anyone else.
Wonder how many 2000's Pats fan will bail when the team turns to shit after Brady and Bill retire...
Hoping the Colts have big offseason plans. I feel like things are looking upward with Reich and Ballard running the show.
They've got about 20 million and another 25-30 million they could get from obvious cuts and restructures. I can't imagine they're thinking of signing someone though. I'd think their best bet is to either take a QB in this draft if there's one they like, or run with Colt next year and assume they tank for the #1 pick in 2020.
They also already have pretty much a whole roster signed. They could hold onto all the cap space they can get this year, tank for the #1 pick, and rollover all that cap to next year. Sign some FAs in the 2020 offseason and give Alex a shot with a great roster around him while having a rookie wait in the wings from that draft. That realistically gives them the best shot at competing in the future, and only requires one year of "rebuilding".

I still can't believe that the colts could not do anything against that terrible chiefs defense.
They have literally one legitimate WR and Ebron showed why he was drafted by the Lions. A solid line throughout the year got their shit pushed in too.
Eagles are bringing back a personnel guy who Chip Kelly had hired and who had left the organization to become Alabama's assistant HC with Saban. Joe Pannunzio.
He was kept even after Chip was let go, but he left to join Alabama in Feb 2017. Now he is coming back to rejoin the front office.
Odd.

He's coming back, but we don't exactly know in what position. He was in the Eagles FO the first time, but at Alabama he was coaching. He's got experience in both so we'll see. He's also connected to Stoutland, the OL coach, since they overlapped at Bama. One interesting thing I did see was in 2018 he was the Bama RBs coach. I don't think the Eagles have an official RBs coach, I think Duce is still covering that in his new position. Plus, the Eagles need a RB, and Bama has two entering the draft that are looking like pretty good prospects (Josh Jacobs and Damien Harris), so he'd know them better than anyone.
Snow game was a big factor. Also, Colts have no WRs. O-Line had a bad game as well, when they were pretty good in the regular season. It happens.
Luck was throwing like post surgery PeyPey. Was there even one of with zip on it? Also throwing -2 yard passes on long Downs didn't help.
Yeah, I guess that is a connection and I do hope the Eagles upgrade the RB position (even if Ajayi is brought back) but I still don't see them taking a back until the 4th round. Both the Alabam guys are gone by then.
Luck threw 39 TDs in the regular season, with like 22 of them being to WRs. And they were going up against the worst pass defense in the league. Him throwing to no names didn't matter in the regular season and the DC he went against was fired the next game
Also McShay has the Eagles taking Dexter Lawrence, Clemson DT that isn't Christian Wilkins. Which, ehhh. He's a big guy and a great run stuffer, but doesn't offer anything in the pass rush. If he's the best DT available I'd probably go with another position
Yeah, I dunno if they bring Ajayi back unless it's insanely cheap. I agree both of those guys will be gone. And yeah it would take something like Josh Jacobs falling to the late 2nd for them to take a RB before the 4th. The first 3 picks are most likely gonna be DT/DE/OT in some order, with a possible Safety in there if the right guy drops. My way too early RB to look out for is Bruce Anderson, he should be available later. Singletary could be an interesting choice too, and maybe Darwin Thompson. Combine snub and a smaller guy at 5'9" 190. But that's the same build as Phillip Lindsay, so I don't think he's necessarily only a scatback type

Y'all underestimating Andy Reid coming off a bye.
His teams have averaged giving up 15.6 ppg coming off a bye counting playoffs in his career.

Colts need a receiver to complement Hilton badly. I'd also like to see less passes batted down for Luck idk why he had that issue so much.
I really fucking hope the Cards pass on Bosa so the Niners can get him. If Bosa is gone, then it's Josh Allen or trade the pick.
What are the odds there's a talented player with the same name in back to back drafts lol.
Josh Allen sacked by Josh Allen for a 10 yard loss
So the Eagles have been informed that if they franchise tagged Foles and tried to trade him they would be in violation of the CBA. So he is just going to walk and they will get a comp pick for him next year.
I know there's that report but it doesn't make sense. It sounds like the Giants wanna ride with Eli and even if they didn't, it would make sense to pick up Haskins or wait till next draft to get a QB. they need a bridge and Foles isn't that. My money is still on the jags or broncos
Bill Bellichick's coaching tree has a combined record of 173-242. Only 2 of his former assistants have a winning record. Al Groh at 8-7-1, and Bill O'Brien. Teams have to stop hiring these guys. Teams really need to stop hiring these guys.
I just fell like the Giants have so much talent and it will be hard to keep it together for long. They need to strike now and Eli clearly isnt that guy. Roll the dice with Foles and hope that they get good Foles. Especially now that they dont have to trade for him and can just sign him.

Is this official or speculation? I saw something about it earlier but it was speculation by Florio.
Josh Allen to the Jets confirmed
League is full of shit Belichick coaching-tree coaches and Sean McVay clones, it's gonna be glorious lmao
I doubt we take Allen if he's available. We're going to a 4-3 and probably need Quinnen Williams more than anybody else. I would expect Devin White before Josh Allen.
I'd like to see us trade down further in the top 10 if we try the Devin White route. Or just trade to the middle of the round, grab Jawaan Taylor or one of the receivers and grab an early second rounder + scraps.
Impossible to tell what McCoffee will do though. Probably take a tight end over Quinnen and relive the Sapp situation.

John Ritchie was saying today that they cannot franchise and trade Foles so it sounds it is official.
Why the hell would Bob Stoops come out of retirement to be a coach and GM in the fucking XFL??
"A source close to Stoops told ESPN that he liked the idea of getting back into coaching without it being overly time-consuming."

Oh...lol. Getting paid big bucks for a job you don't want to put much time into must be nice

Them getting rid of the DL coach when the DL was by far the best unit on the team last year is just baffling.
Eagles also hiring former Eagles TE Mike Bartrum as a TE Assistant coach.
Finally, they will be able to maximize the TE position.
Could be anything. There was talk that Wilson's son was playing college ball and he wanted to be more involved with that. Could be $$$ related. Could also be that these guys on the line are stars. Former first-round picks and very well established players who didn't need development. I remember reading the Eagles might be more interested in bringing in a coach who can work the younger guys better on the development side.
