The so-called Shanahan offense is all the rage, so naturally we should expect the league to figure out countermeasures as more teams adopt it. When this happens, which coaches from the Shanahan tree will be most and least likely to successfully adapt their offenses to the countermeasures?
Ty, what kind of food is in a locker room pre and post game? You see anybody bring in their own junk food: a Ho-Ho or bag of Doritos? Every see a player drink a beer after a normal game or smoke a cigarette?
Watching defenses curb scoring while acclimating to a passing league this past season, when does the power run game return to offset the lighter personnel needed to cover space? That experiment failed under Vrabel in Nashville for various reasons, but with QB contracts out of control a team with strong OL play is inevitably going to attempt big boy football, and I would think with success. The Shanahan system is less power and more misdirection. Baltimore relies on a running QB that is an excellent thrower of the football in his own right. I just think that less practice time allowed since the 2011 CBA limiting the development of the rapport necessary for middling QBs to connect with their WRs will lead to a change to dominating OLs charging forward, that is if newly drafted college O Lineman can acclimate to such a scheme change...
Were any eyebrows raised by those around the league when Carolina promoted assistant GM Dan Morgan to President of Football Operations/GM considering he was part of the disaster that took place in Carolina? As a fan, it’s hard to understand why anybody from that front office was retained considering how badly the Panthers have whiffed in the draft & all personnel matters since 2021. Will Canales & Morgan be able to handle all things football related without interference from Dave ‘the drink tosser’ Tepper & his wife?
What are insiders view on the Patriots keeping Belichick’s personnel staff yet jettisoning him? Between those actions, Mayo’s business jargon on collaboration and how the Kraft LLC Dynasty series is being viewed in NE, it appears they are saying it was Bill’s fault. For me it’s a bad look so soon and I can’t imagine Belichick discovered Cole Strange on his own.
Any chance you can convince Bob to update his excellent Super Bowl book. Would love to read his breakdowns. If not Tyler you’d be perfect to pick it up going forward. Also any chance to get his draft archives on Go Long? Thanks for the great content and your interaction with your subscribers.

Is there going to be some draft coverage, especially with Bob McGinn?

What do you think the optimal Vikings play at QB is next season? If they get a good RB, can the rest of that offence carry a rookie QB?

What will the new Packers defense look like next year, how do the current players fit, and what new types will need to be found?
