Game 224 Tonight. After that, just 32 to go to the playoffs …
The story of how the Two Panthers fired two-time Carolina GM Marty Herni is an interesting one. Initially owned by David Tapper, Harney was a trusted ear and a great tool for the new boss as he learned pro ropes for football. He says that, already owning a minority in Pittsburgh, Tapper had a very good idea of how he wanted his team to be – thinking ahead like his hedge fund.
So what does that mean? Tapper, I have been told, knew the modern structure would be part of the settlement, which meant being general manager, with football operations and scouting reporting up to that person – Kansas City and Philadelphia are two similar teams (the Eagles have Actually the head of both, Andrew Berry and J. Dou Douglas, prepared to become GM in the last two years). And so did his recent discussions with Harney.
I don’t think Harney knew it would lead to his dismissal. But I also don’t think it was a shock for him to part this way. My belief is that the news he received on Sunday was the probable final game of all of this, and that is partly because, as I have been told, his contract was after the draft anyway, so this would be a natural time to run away.
I don’t think there’s any hard feeling here, and I don’t think GM search is fixed for a particular candidate. Player employee Adam Peters’ San Francisco VP was indeed a defensive end for Panthers coach Matt Rule at UCLA when he was GA there in 2011, and the two have been in touch for 20 years since then. It will line up as a possibility. That’s why the Saints ’assistant GM Jeff Ireland, who turned New Orleans’ fortunes into a draft and created a monster roster there. (Ireland has a bellows alum.)
This we know – will be made to align with the rental rule. So people like Peters and Ireland, as well as Carolina’s own player personnel director, Pat Stewart, who have a strong understanding of what Rule wants, join as guys who make sense as potential key pieces in the second phase of the Tapper’s second phase reconstruction. The football side of the Panthers.
• Since we’ve taken the pigeons in the Jets and evaluated the impact of Sunday’s win in the MMQB column, I realized here that we can double back and focus on the decision of what Douglas will face in the spring of 2021, if the Jags lose Goes and that wind blows. With another pick. And first things first, there will be quarterbacks who will be in second place, Justin Fields of Ohio State and Zack Wilson of BYU are first in line for consideration.
So yes, Douglas’s decision will be some form of those individuals versus the guys. But it’s not quite the opposite of one.
Let’s say they go with Darnold, and pick another one for ransom. Then, for 2022, Darnold’s option, valued at about 25 25 million, appears to be academic, and under the new CBA that option is fully guaranteed. He paid જેટલા 4.6 million in 2021, adding that they would have તેઓ 30 million for two years, and then either he would have to pay 40 40 million or more per year or he would have to look for a replacement.
What if they go with a rookie? Then they get that player to Fields or Wilson, the so-called માં 35 million in four years with the option for 2025. This is a great idea when you are weighing the huge financial commitment and opportunity cost of going with Darnold. Bottom line: they have to experience Emphatically That’s the guy, going with a quarterback at two o’clock.
This, of course, would be a pretty easy decision if the Jets were still on track to pick up. Under the current circumstances, it would become very, very complex, and very important, by long shots, to make Douglas Jets as GM. I guess the Jets really plan to build Darnold and his entourage. How much do they like it? If they have another choice, we’ll find out.
With these lines, Jaguars coach Darg Marrow now has to answer questions about whether Adam Gass has been in the spotlight for more than a month.
“No one advised me to go out there and do something other than win,” Meron told local media on Monday. “I grew up and had a team of my choice and was excited to see where they were going. I look back and I understand, but, I mean we’re trying to win. We are doing everything possible and that is my job right now and I am the coach and the players.
“None of us will pay attention to this and the future. No one knows what will happen tomorrow, no matter the end of the year. But I understand the question and appreciate it.”
And I appreciate Maro responding that way – he’s not blind to reality or what he expects of his players (something he and I discussed last week).
We can be that way too. It is possible to sympathize with the position these players and coaches are in, when it comes to realizing exactly what is at stake here, and how the results of the next few weeks could affect the Jets ‘and Jaguars’ franchises for the next two decades. Based on the level of potential Trevor relays, that’s just the truth.
વ્યક્તિ Everyone has a product of their own experiences to some extent – and there is an interesting backstory to landing in Jillian Herts Philly. It was eight years ago that current and subsequent Eagles GM Howie Roseman and then Eagles coach Andy Red became obsessed with a vague-but-dynamic Wisconsin quarterback named Russell Wilson. Philly was preparing to take Wilson into the third round (the Packers were the other team interested in Wilson in that series), the Seahawks picked him up fast with the 75th pick.
Instead Philly was stabbed with Nick Falls at age 88, and that too has a lot of history.
But how he and Reed saw Wilson get stuck with Roseman, and put Philly in search of an equally competitive, athletic quarterback. And Wilson’s defeat in 2012 took place among the Eagles in the spring, on the grounds that if you really like quarterbacks, you shouldn’t be pretty and wait. Which is a big reason why the Eagles jumped to Hurtz in the middle of the second round, a move that would bring Wilson to Philly in 2012.
Ears Bear coach Matt Nagy’s team has won two matches in the last few weeks to follow a six-match losing streak. And with 9-7 in sight, the prospect of a Packers game, with Jug this week and the possibility of a Packers game on January 3, will be played with Green Bay, which has already locked the No. 1 seed.
A four-game winning streak to complete the year could see Chicago in the playoffs. It will also strengthen the soil on which Nagy and GM Ryan Pace are located. But a few weeks ago? That ground felt shaky, and so I woke up on Sunday night to ask what it was like to speculate about the safety of his own job for most of November. And I thought his answer was very sensible.
“I’ll say this – it comes with this field,” Nagy said. “As you said, when you sign up for this job, you should always have it. And when you go through a six-game losing streak, you must always have it. But in that time, what happens is you realize who those people are who are really with you. And that’s not really the case. Then all you have to do as a leader is make sure that every time, your people who are part of this thing, they fully trust and believe everything you say.
“And you have an action plan. When you go through a six-game losing streak, it’s about communicating with others where we are and fighting, because sometimes messages can become stale and monotonous after every loss. But you have to find ways and means to keep the team motivated. And keep playing them. And it’s not easy. Especially at this time.
“But then come back to talking about culture. And talk about you, well, culture is the best but it doesn’t matter if you can’t win. Well, you know when culture is important? It’s a matter of culture when you lose. When you lose and you get culture, you get no shots. When you have a good culture, you get every shot in the world. Now you are watching it. “

Why Newton’s future in the Play NFL is uncertain because of his play, and because he’s not under contract for 2021, and largely because he never really had to fight for a roster spot or play time, so few really know if he wants to . Welcome that opportunity, if it was needed for the seekers to live. I know that earlier this year, Newton told people he didn’t want to go somewhere as a guide or a bridge.
Is he ready to be Josh McCown now? It is vague. But he justified the idea that he was preparing to walk on WEEI at least on Monday, saying, “I still have a lot of football left,” he insists he just doesn’t want to go out of that kind of years. Was.
October When the Chiefs tied up the Liv V Bell in October, most people saw it as buying a fancy hood ornament for a luxury car – sure, it looks nice, but it was probably not necessary. Now? Now things seem different. Clyde Edwards-Heller’s high ankle sprain, which will knock him out for the rest of the regular season (and he could prolong it), Bell will now be heavily nailed in Casey’s plan.
It’s a good thing they’ve gotten him an overwhelming response and he’s been well-received in the offense.
Interesting note: The word is that Patrick Mahoms recommended his OC, Eric Binimi, Deshaun Watson as a good candidate to become the next head coach of Texans. Houston owner Cal L. N. Conair has already consulted with Watson about the situation and plans to continue.
• Because I have MMQB. Tit Titans G.M. John Robinson and coach Mike Varabel forgot to mention him in the credit for the job he quietly did in Nashville. This marks the first 10-win season for anyone with two games left, and marks five winning seasons in five years for Robinson as GM and three winning asons in three years as head coach of Varabel. And the arrows usually seem to point to that program.
One solution: With Varabel’s success, it’s not hard to see more former NFL players appearing as potential head coaching candidates. And there are promising people in the pipeline such as Aaron Glenn (Saints DBS coach), Jerod Mayo (Patriots LBS coach), Larry Foitte (Books LBS coach) and Kevin O’Connell (Rams OC). Mostly, the zoom interview is dynamic, with most teams sure to make a huge net, this could be the year too.
