Vrabel's Staff Discussion Thread (Discuss related news here)

I think Abdul Carter is too good a talent to turn down.
Gotta get pressure on the QB.

Just my guess
I think Vrabel will not draft a player that cannot set the edge or average at best in the run game
More likely to draft a player like Graham

You talking about the juice?

Not just juice but a human's frame (bones, tendons, etc) can only handle so much.

Even if AC put on 25lbs of pure muscle and his frame isn't built to handle it, it will lead to injury or a loss of speed and agility.

BTW, after reading that article, it's unlikely that Williams is going anywhere unless they can find a Hockey Program the equivalent to the one they got him into. You can see in the article that it was a BIG DEAL to the family and Williams' wife.

Yeah but it's not as if he can't find a good hockey program in Boston lol

Do they need to ask for permission if it’s a promotion?

My understanding is if said coach is under contract they still need to ask for permission.

Yes. Its uncommon but they can.

This sounds more like someone who would be setting up the analytics department than one of the analysts.

Wasn’t that how the Browns developed their analytics department, by stealing guys from baseball?

Yup. Paul Depodesta.

Can Dolphins refuse it?

Patriots once refused permission to interview two executives on their staff. But that's not quite the same.

Source: Pats reject Texans' GM interview bids

The Patriots have rejected the Texans' request to interview two of their top executives, Nick Caserio and Monti Ossenfort, for their vacant GM job, a source told ESPN.

No idea, but it makes sense, as baseball is years ahead in that regard.

I'm not saying you're wrong but although he didn't draft him, Vrabel had Harold Landry throughout his tenure at the Titans. Landry is 6-3, 252. Almost the same as Carter.

Looks like he’s our new DC.

Ok now what about OC?
This hire is critical.

Ben Johnson to the Bears per Schefter.

yes if under contract, but if its a promotion it cannot be blocked
