Robert Mays with a good point on today's Athletic Football Show with Albert Breer this morning:

If you look at Johnson's resume - primary play caller for a consistent top 5 offense without a top 3 QB - it is fairly unique. Its basically Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, and Ben Johnson. Most of the ...

Lolllll, man Liam Cohen met Trent Baalke and said "nah, I'm good."

i misread that at first too. that hired as OC tweet is from last year. He was interviewed for head coach today.

This is the last image I saw before my body transformed into a living, breathing meatball.

or maybe martyball junior for the cowboys. woof.

Nobody here has claimed we just hired Bill Walsh. People are excited that the Bears got the guy. Doesn’t mean they think he will be a HOF coach.

Nobody knows at this point.

I do, i've been running through brick walls all day (starting to get pretty sore, ngl). He's a HOF coach.

I love it, i am extremely Liam Cohen-curious. He's got the weirdest resume.

Warren can be pretty annoying but he's great at data projects like that. I'm "working" so haven't had a good opportunity to dig in.

2. "I think he is a Josh McDaniels 2.0.” I will very, very gladly argue with this portion of it.


That's a direct quote from a Lions employee, not the author's opinion (or mine).

someone in the Lions organization told me...
They went on to add another key remark: “I can totally see how he ...

I'm about to run through a brick wall

Raiders fans are going to burn this guy's house down. Their Reddit has been pretty funny.

@HisRoyalSweetness

Curious if Zacch Pickens could play DE...


No, but they should have him go back to a 3T instead of a nose. He was a 3 his entire time on South Carolina, no idea why Flus and Co decided to switch him here. He is a much better penetrator than holding the ...

Yeah all we really have for the next couple of months are vibes... And the vibes are fucking good.

… I wonder if Tom Brady really is a draw for head coaches? I think the Raiders knew they were holding a weak hand from a roster standpoint, and in Brady, they played the best card they had.

I’m ambivalent about Brady but if I had him in my camp, I would have trotted him out too.


Yeah, I ...

These are golden days. If you can picture it in your mind's eye, it can become reality.

While I am as excited as everyone else - I'd like to take a second and pour one out for my ride-or-die OG Todd Monken. I'm really hoping that he gets an opportunity at some point to run a team. Still and forever #TeamMonken.


I love Lamar and I really hope he just sticks around and helps him get ...

A thought I've been going back to over and over again this past week is that the notion of Ben picking the Raiders felt preposterous to me. In the NFL you either have a qb or you dont, and the Raiders dont even have a PATH to get a QB this ...

How many times have we had a good coordinator on the other side of the ball to the HC? We're going back a long way before Fangio.

with head coaching experience? that's easy, Mike Tice.

Some pretty good cope there...

ah fuck, we've lost brad holmes bulge

trying to decide right now if it's worth the effort to photoshop Ben loading Chris Morgan into a catapult

@Rusty Trombagent why did you delete that?

So fucking sexy!


it is amazing growth, but i didnt want to hear anyone trying to argue that it was simply because the roster improved (which some replies to that tweet are positing). it was ...

In all the chaotic lead up to this, I'm just glad no one around here did anything really stupid, like talk themselves into Mike McCarthy.

Should we feel good about this? (Not snark)


Opinions vary on him as a human, but from a coaching perspective I think it would be a home run. Dude is a defensive whiz and they can stay with the same 4-3 base defense.


yeah he's a bit of a turd, but i'm so fucking over the moon right now i ...

She's incredibly efficient, this interview might be for the director of analytics opening.

would have been funny to keep the weird bears to falcons pipeline chugging along.
