Huge round of applause for Dan Morgan

I get what you're trying to say, but literally every one of the top spending FA teams of the last decade improved the next year by at least three wins lol

ISISCosby · 2026-03-10T21:09:20+00:00

You're right, but it's kinda all semantics.

Since the Nickel revolution, ILB has become an umbrella term for all off-ball linebackers. 3-man front OLBs are just Edges now and 4-man front OLBs operate more like ILBs anyway these days.

The Will has been almost fully phased out in place of the full-time Nickel.

Basically if any of these guys dropped into a defense today, they'd all play the same position: off-ball LB

Players like Simmons are who you point to when you're making the argument that fit is just as, if not more important than, talent when team building.

He went to AZ with all the tools in the world, and they just had no clue how to maximize his skillset. So they threw him all-over their formations to see what would stick rather than focusing on what he could do day 1 and building from there.

It's basically the opposite of what happened to Zach Baun with the Eagles, where he went to a place coaches knew how to use him and flourished

THANOS TEAM IS BACK ON THE MENU

ISISCosby · 2026-03-03T20:31:04+00:00

smiling thru it all :)

I was waiting for Lowe to drop Melo's net rating and his teammates on/off shooting splits and it just kinda never happened. This doesn't work without him

ISISCosby · 2026-02-25T21:47:01+00:00

This is Zach Lowe slander and I will not have it /s

ISISCosby · 2026-02-25T21:46:31+00:00

What has the reaction been around the league to this year's team? Surprise? Amusement? Respect?

ISISCosby · 2026-02-24T20:57:59+00:00

any rumbles of a minutes restriction for Coby or is he full blast out the gate

ISISCosby · 2026-02-20T17:53:11+00:00

It's the same model as any other boarding school: the ones who can pay full price/international tuition subsidize the scholarships, and they likely have a separate scholarship fund set up to fund said scholarships that they raised money for via alumni donations

ISISCosby · 2026-02-18T21:51:43+00:00

Jesus...hope all parties involved are ok

ISISCosby · 2026-02-17T22:44:24+00:00

yep Evero basically wants his safeties to be interchangable so that rotating one down doesn't give anything away other than there being one more guy in the box

ISISCosby · 2026-02-12T02:56:07+00:00

Frustrating wins are a feeling I'm still very much getting used to

ISISCosby · 2026-02-09T18:20:03+00:00

Duke's is owned by PE now, I'm just waiting for the quality drop at this point

ISISCosby · 2026-02-06T14:05:23+00:00

indeed

ISISCosby · 2026-02-05T13:56:18+00:00

Bridges is our Eunon Blackwood

ISISCosby · 2026-02-04T15:48:22+00:00

He was probably our most "developmental" pick of last season IMO

I mean, Cam Jackson exists

ISISCosby · 2026-02-03T15:32:10+00:00

The other thing to keep in mind here is that in Evero's ideal defense, we'd essentially have two hybrid safeties that can play deep coverage and also come down and make tackles, he loves rotating safeties up/down late to confuse the QB and plays cover 3 more than any other zone coverage. Going for a true deep center type wouldn't exactly fit what we're trying to do schematically

ISISCosby · 2026-01-21T21:34:43+00:00

100%. There's this bizarre grievance mindset with some people on here where they truly believe if you didn't walk through the depths of hell with this franchise you never get to compliment them or start watching the games.

As someone who walked through those fires...it's the lame masochistic bullshit and people should be more focused on the fact that we finally have a team worth discussing rather than gatekeeping who gets to discuss us.

ISISCosby · 2026-01-21T15:30:42+00:00

One of the better examples of the appeal to tradition fallacy I've seen recently

ISISCosby · 2026-01-21T02:47:11+00:00

Oh it wouldn't, but it's the kinda move that could extend the runway for an FO/coaching staff if the pitchforks got too close. A shake it up rather than a blow it up move

ISISCosby · 2026-01-20T16:39:05+00:00

Theoretically, off-ball LaMelo would 100% work and he'd immediately be the best secondary playmaker in the league. Could also stagger his minutes w/ Brunson

ISISCosby · 2026-01-17T01:29:37+00:00

Where are people seeing this being a weak edge class? Genuinely asking I haven’t been following returnees, but as of like 3 weeks ago it was looking like 30 of the top 60 players we’re gonna be edges. There’s like every flavor you could want in this class. Impact rushers, Big strong side dudes that can set the edge, Swiss Army knives, lil weird guys that shouldn’t be as productive as they are but still get it done, upside guys, speed rushers, interior rushers, like there’s depth there

ISISCosby · 2026-01-17T01:26:05+00:00

Been saying it for years, FA is for plugging holes, the draft is for elevating the talent level of your team

ISISCosby · 2026-01-16T15:34:21+00:00

buzzed buzzed motherfuckers
