NFL OFF-SEASON THREAD 2022-23: FanDuel getting everybody hemmed up. ESPN went Kamikaze. We in that dead zone of the year y’all.

ESPN+ doesn't give you ESPN access. need a cable subscription with ESPN for it. they crooks, man

Streaming service bundles and cable company monopolies on the finesse fast break

Ravens defense has been annoying since that two minute drill

Of course they get a sack in the red zone on 3rd and 4 as soon as I post that

That Ravens pass rush is serious

Theory.

Saturday hire is from the Flores stuff. Ross wanted to tank. Flores doesn't/wouldn't want that on his resume.

Irsay picks a guy that won't actually be hurt by losing. Irsay gets his pick (QB) and then hires real coach in off-season, Saturday goes back to ESPN.

Tanking, but not hurting an actual coach, or affecting someone's resume.

how does this relate to Flores?

Ross was investigated for tanking. The NFL "cleared" him of those charges because we all know the NFL don't want to admit teams tank. Especially after getting in bed with gambling partners.

Irsay (+ all other owners) were all a part of those meetings/convos.

So, do you hire an actual coach who (like Flores) will try his damnedest to win games, or hire a former player (and friend of Irsay's) to get drilled for 2 months?

And because it's interim, no investigation etc that could punish Indy later even if the league thinks this is fishy.

I'm just disappointed this somehow isn't connected back to concussion protocols

How come they don’t do anything to get Kamara in space with these dudes to make em miss

 

[jpzx]

Dalton just got scissored.

 

[rolaholic]

Who knew Justin Houston still had all this juice??

 

[DB Cooper]

He’s going to feel that one in the morning.

Guys are getting open but the pass rush and Dalton not anticipating anything has it doomed from the start.

 

[DeadsetAce]

god damn Dalton got crushed

 

[IATT]

When is the last time a team made an outside hire for an interim job?

i only know of someone on the staff getting the gig

 

[HNL HI]

not surprising this is the work of the only other guy that wanted to hire McDaniels besides Mark Davis.

Bro - Literally as soon as Aikman/Buck talked about how good the OLine was by not allowing a sack the pass two games the Ravens immediately got to Dalton the next play for a sack and it's been lights out since then.

I agree with finessence about the Ravens and the moving pocket. Every time he drops back Lamar keeps having to pull some Superman **** to avoid a sack, rollout and miss his target because he's running for his life

 

[651akathepaul]

DeSean with the hamstring...EVERY time.

 

[frshstunna]

D Jaxx ain’t even make it thru 1 game

 

[651akathepaul]

Lamar can't do that. T him up!

Happened with Chris Finch's hiring from Toronto, with the Timberwolves, when Minnesota former HC Ryan Saunders was fired. I don't think there's much precedent across sports of it.

 

[T0INE]

Damn DJaxx didn't eem catch a deep TD bomb before he inevitably got hurt.

 

[storm2006]

Ravens drunk

 

[T0INE]

These Ravens' receivers are poor.
