The Official Vrabel vs Ben Johnson Discussion Thread

[RobertWeathers]

That was 15 + years ago. Like I said, it’s a dinosaur, let it go extinct.

There is nothing antiquated about it.

If fine with either one. AVP put in the WC. Maye seems ok running it. Let's keep it.

I’m not going to ***** and moan if MacDaniels is the OC, I’ll root for him to succeed, I just like the west coast offense, and want to keep Maye in it.

The offseason is going to be really interesting because you know Vrabel wants to run the ball down opponents throats, and they will have to build up the OL significantly to do that.

If Trollin is reporting it..welcome to New England Ben Johnson.

My thoughts too as I was reading the byline...

 

[Huckleberry1]

There is nothing antiquated about it.

We disagree, only a few coordinators run it anymore. Only 3 teams run it. NYG, Colts, Lions.

 

[Huckleberry1]

I read Tom Brady is personally talking to Johnson’s agent and my guess they are trying to sell him on Sanders. Don’t forget Tom recently worked out with him Brady having access to the teams and players is a cheat code for the Raiders that should be ours.
Krafts screwed up.

Where did you read that?

 

[The Gr8est]

Hope it’s Josh McD
Tommy Rees will leave in one season when Maye lights it up.

Like Ben Johnson would have Maye light it up?

Sign me up for a year plus.

No, I'd expect them to just hire Vrabel if they want him.

I think Rees is the other rumored candidate for OC if they hire Vrabel.

Why would you give picks away for a guy you can simply hire?

Because its the my way to say how much I prefer him as HC. (I know you don't have too)

I don't want smashmouth football.. I also want them to knock down Gillete or put a roof on it.. so we can throw instead of smashmouth because of the fricken weather.. sucks the weather dictates IMO how we play on offence.

Sorry RW, you will have to sign yourself up.

I think you have to be able to run effectively. You have to win the fistfight, and that’s run blocking on offense, and run stopping on defense. That’s the cornerstone, everything else builds off those abilities.

I was all-in building the two lines before getting the QB.. IMO pointless the QB unless you get the basics done first..

 

[signbabybrady]

These NFL insiders don’t know anymore than we do on who’s going where, It’s funny when they say sources around the NFL says a certain coach is favorite for a certain team. If there is a source that knows wouldn’t it be a source within that team they are talking about and not the janitor at NFL headquarters. LOL!

When I hear the term sources around the league I don't even think that means another team to me that means a reporter outside the 1st reporters beat that he likes to talk to about rumors with.

 

[Stu Pidassle]

People cite the Patriots and Stealers success running EP, but both had 1st Ballot HOF QB’s running their offenses.

People say the same thing about the Chiefs

 

[Big Bucks]

A rookie HC. Soft spoken guy. Not really what this team needs.

What team do you speak of.. I expect everyone gone in three seasons

Edit - obviously not everyone.. maybe keep 4 or 5 lol

 

[Big Bucks]

Similar weather has helped us, Steelers and Chiefs.

 

[Huckleberry1]

People say the same thing about the Chiefs

And they are right, Mahomes is a 1st ballot HOF QB.

Completely agree with need for retractable dome stadium!!
Time to join the 21st century

Well, we disagree on that. When the opportunity is there to get your franchise QB you take it, they don’t come along very often. Wolf was right to pass on the deals and take Maye.

You want Vrabel then as that is what he ran in TN

Soft spoken is not necessarily a bad thing, Soft spoken coaches can still command a great deal of respect without being over bearing. There is more than one way to lead a team .
