Pittsburgh has 10 first round draft picks on their current team. That will allow you to stay in any game, whether the QB is named Duck or Goose.

They are actually a scary team if they can get any type of QB play going forward.

The coach is pretty good too.

Sort of crazy they have 10 first rounders. Man, they're such a well run franchise. And imagine - they did so well this year despite the injuries and losing arguably the best wideout in the NFL. Crazy!

I think we may be over praising Tomlin and the GM. This year without Ben for the most part and an injured Smith-Smythe-Smith not always at WR, they went 8-8. Finished second in the Division and missed the playoffs.

Last year with Ben and Simon and Schuster at WR, they went 9-6-1 and missed the playoffs as second in the AFC North.

So, you know, maybe they have been this kind of average team all along. Used to be all offense, now its all defense.

Schedule update:
— #Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy will interview with the #Panthers today for their HC job.
— Ex-#Packers coach Mike McCarthy will interview for the #Browns job today.
— #Cowboys defensive passing game coordinator Kris Richard will interview for the #Giants job today.

I am thinking Lincoln Riley to the Cowboys. Twitter told me a 5 star QB commit to Oklahoma has just de-committed due to the cloudy future of Riley at Oklahoma.

Also I think McCarthy will do fine in his next job. He could be a fit for the Giants with a young QB and an explosive running back. Cleveland has acquired so many headaches. I think Baker Mayfield still has a bright future, but Beckham, Landry, Hunt, and McCarthy's favorite defensive back Damarious Randall could just making coaching there a complete waste of time.

I meant to say, their current defense has 10 first round draft choices on it. So any good QB play and they're a very dangerous team.

Day 3 of the Browns publicly determining their structure by press conference. Packers silos with the owner straddling them. But hire the coach first.




Nate Ulrich @ByNateUlrich
Jimmy Haslam says #Browns will hire head coach first, then GM outside organization who’ll have final say on 53-man roster, and they'll both report to ownership as equals

I actually want fat mike to land in Cleveland for multiple reasons.
1) OMG, We are worse than Cleveland other than Rogers.
2) Fat mike sucks!! Fat mike is a good coach!! (we might get some insight to which is closer to truth).
3) Fat mike doesn't run the ball!! Rogers audibles out of EVERY RUN CALL!! (again, some insight to truth).

It seems like we might get more insight if he got the Giants job - Saquan Barkley and all plus a rookie QB.

Possibly. But man I wouldn't be happy with that GM. See this link http://packerrats.com/showthread.php...98#post1041898

Several Twitter people with brains tend to like McCarthy in Carolina. But who is his QB?

Did you just add 3 1st rounders for Watt since he's that dam good ?

Player Overall pick
Joe Haden 7th
Mark Barron 7th
Tyson Alualu 10th
Devin Bush 10th
Minkah Fitzpatrick 11th
Bud Dupree 22nd
Artie Burns 25th
Terrell Edmunds 28th
T.J. Watt 30th
Cameron Heyward 31st

Still blows my mind Watt lasted until pick 30.

Cameron Heyward at 31 is pretty decent too.

Not sure about the second bit, but the first explanation here makes the most sense of anything I have read about the Garrett delay.

Still blows my mind that Ted shit all over himself when making that pick when he's right in our backyard with access to all of the coaches who praised Watt's attitude and work ethic continuously. The fact that he had no character risks, and we had all the inside info we could dream of...making it look even worse.

Jason Garrett's time with the Dallas Cowboys is coming to an end.

A source told ESPN's Ed Werder that after showing an "abundance of care and respect" for Garrett, Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones have decided the coach will not be part of the organization moving forward.

According to multiple sources, the Joneses and Garrett did not have their scheduled meeting at The Star on Thursday after meeting on Monday and Tuesday without any resolution on the coach's status. Garrett's contract is set to expire on Jan. 14 and his status with the team has been an issue since last February when the Cowboys opted not to offer him an extension.

TJs not a perfect kid - lots of stories at Pewaukee HS - but all you have to do is look at his brothers to see what kind of player he would project out to be. This was a big time blunder in my opinion. That said, if we have Watt I highly doubt we have ZaDarius and Z is probably the better player anyway.
