Playoffs!!! Open Thread version 2.0

I think Phil Simms basically is on point. B’More is just better. They’re forcing Miami to play a little faster than they want and to be perfect. Miami’s getting worked by a superior team. No shame in that I suppose.

why so serious?

Marinelli is a great fit. He was the Dline coach for Tampa Bay during their run of greatness and Ruskell has familiarity with him. Also, he’s known for his ability to develop D-Linemen.

I'd have to read up more on Marinelli's style of play calling and thinking process before coming to a conclusion about him.

NFL Network reports he is "considering taking a job in Seattle with the Seahawks"

So, of course reading into it a bit. But who considers a job not offered?

Worst defense in modern history

Obviously it’s not all his fault, but any indication that a player developed or he recognized defensive talent would be nice. Also, it’s further indication Seattle is moving towards a T2, which is dumb.

Tampa's seems to work.. but they have adjusted nicely as time has gone by

It is what it is...

I see why that could mean major renovations....

Our 2nd/3rd corners don’t seem particularly apt at short zones/tackling.

The system should be built around the talent

Tatupu and Tapp sort of fit and that’s about it. Obviously, if you have Simeon Rice and Sapp or Tommie Harris and Urlacher, then you build a Tampa 2. Seattle has a lot of rounded players probably best fit for a zone blitzing scheme like Jim Johnson or what Marshall tried to do. I mean, cut to the quick here, a T2 needs to pressure with its front four, does anyone really think Seattle’s front four can consistently pressure quarterbacks?

John,

When do organizations initially start making changes in the off-season? I know obviously after the super bowl and pro bowl probably but when do teams normally start making some roster changes/ free agent pickups?

Sorry for this random question, just wondering.
