OT: NFL

[Fightingscot82]

Steelers named as a strong contender for the recently-released Tyreek Hill. My son loves him but I don't want another serial woman beater on the Steelers.

[Chuck Norris]

That game last night reminded me of a number of Steelers games this season where the offense was obviously overmatched from the start and you knew it was a matter of time before it got out of hand.

The Patriots were a year or two ahead of schedule. And they got a huge break when Bo Nix got hurt because I think Denver would’ve beat them handily if he had played. Before the 49ers got completely decimated with injuries it’s entirely possible the three best teams in football were in the NFC West.

That was a lousy game…..Bad Bunny was more entertaining and I didn’t understand a thing he said.

I really didn’t listen to the announcers…how many times did Collinsworth say Mahomes?

Ron was an ego maniac. He couldn't have even picked Jason White out of a lineup.

That vote was all for his own publicity.

It worked, I suppose, as much as it can in a B-level media market.

That’s intriguing, but yeah, you’re right.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

That just showed what sheep the Heisman voters were, and mostly still are. Give it to the quarterback with the best stats on a highly ranked team unless there’s a transcendent RB. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. A WR who wasn’t also a dynamic kick returner had never won the Heisman, and still didn’t until Devonta Smith in 2020. For Larry to face all the positional, regional and national biases, play on a team that wasn’t great and come as close to winning as he did showed how dominant he was. And then you have that clown Ron Cook, who gets grief to this day for voting for Jason White, and deserves every bit of it.

Larry not winning the Heisman still bothers me.

Larry Fitz becomes Pitt’s 11th pro football hall of famer. Aaron Donald will be the 12th in a couple years. Only Notre Dame and USC have more. Pretty crazy for a program that’s been the dictionary definition of mid for over 40 years.

I agree - but if Pitt football has done one thing well in the past 30 years its put guys in the NFL regardless of the team's success.

[Fightingscot82]

Former Edinboro All-American punter Reed Martin has signed with the Toronto Argonauts.

[Chuck Norris]

Brian Angelichio looks to be the guy at OC. He’s spent the last 4 years as the Vikings pass game coordinator/TE coach. He was with McCarthy for a few years in Green Bay. He’s not young, which will surely rile some folks.

[Chuck Norris]

Former message board lightning rod Chase Haslett will be remaining with the Saints rather than taking a job on McCarthy’s staff as will the rumored top OC candidate Scott Tolzien.

[Chuck Norris]

Jahri Evans is among the names reportedly being interviewed to fill out the Steelers offensive coaching staff. He’d be an assistant to the new OL coach (not surprisingly)

When the head coach is going to call plays, you obviously aren’t going to get a Mike McDaniel type to come in as OC under that arrangement, but you can still fill a staff with bright young minds with fresh perspectives who can also learn from an HC who has been there and done it. If that’s largely where McCarthy is heading, it’ll be a refreshing change from the status quo and at least a reason for some optimism.

how dare you!

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Big hand in winning 8 super bowls. If any coach is a first ballot HOF it's belichick. I hate him too, but enough already. The jets don't deserve better, they are a trash franchise and always have been.

There is only 1 HC that I can think of that is in the HOF that did it without a top notch QB (Gibbs). They go hand in hand. I'll give you the spygate scandal, but the deflated balls thing is not a scandal.
