Sad news, he was DS's best coaching hire.

RIP

Figured it wasn't going to be long after the news last week. RIP Marty. Great coach and from all accounts an even better man.

Marty firing = Snyder's worst football related fuck-up

Whenever the word hospice pops up, very bad news is typically right around the corner.

RIP Marty!

Today feels like the day some actual WFT news happens. I don't know why, maybe just my boredom.

The Washington Post really pissed me off with how they handled the news regarding the passing of Marty.

“Marty Schottenheimer, NFL coach whose teams wilted in the postseason, dies at 77”

Unbelievably inappropriate and insensitive.

They've since changed the headline, but yeah, total trash move on their part. Who thought that was a good idea?

Seriously what I was thinking. Who was like “ok a real good person who everyone respects died after a really sad and public bout with Alzheimer’s , I think ill lead with his ineptitude in the playoffs”. Wow.

+1

Who wrote that headline, and who signed off on that headline? Fuckin' disgraceful.

This is huge, Rivera has flipped the program in 1 year:

Morgan Moses: "I'm just happy to be a part of this team and be a part of this culture."

When asked if he's felt like this before, he said, "it's been a long time."

Next year is gonna be fun.

My off-season dream:

Re-Sign Scherff
Sign Allen Robinson or Kenny Golladay or Chris Godwin

The WR decision is interesting.
Bucs just won SB with riches at WR, 1 due to Brady coattails, 2 they drafted, 1 on rookie deal, 1 on long term. Bucs have cap space could conceivably resign Godwin. McLaurin year 3 of 4 year rookie deal next year and may (rightfully) want a new contract by beginning of year 4.
Let's assume we are going to resign McL.
Question is, do we want $30M+ tied up at WR in 2022 and beyond?
I don't know. Not saying yes, not saying know (no, LOL), I don't know totality of picture trying to resign our other home grown talent. Do we want to let Allen or Payne walk in 2022 or 2023 or whenever to sign a WR? Curious to hear what people think. In theory we could afford both, but then you add Scherff, etc., maybe not. Fortunately and unfortunately we don't have a ton of older talent so could be possible to lock up entire DL and FA WR and Scherff etc.

You'd like to hope one of young potential #2s on our roster steps up, but that could be fool's gold.

You have to fill the big 5 leverage positions to contend. There are no shutdown/#1 corners, franchise QBs, franchise LTs available in FA. There are franchise or #1 WRs, so might be smart to grab one. I would tend to want to overpay a bit and get the absolute most elite WR, rather than just the 2nd or 3rd best. We need someone with size opposite McL. Evans is a monster, watching him makes me wish one of our younger guys, bigger ones, had panned out.

Sucks our best OL is at such a low leverage position. We should be resigning a franchise LT or C, not the least important position on OL at RG.

If we sign a WR, then we can draft LT,QB,CB,MLB or FS with top four picks.
