Blah. I would totally be on par if we lose two of our defensive architects.

While we don't have to accept, I can't imagine Whitt would leave for the Seahawks before knowing what Quinn does. 

It should also be noted that Whitt has been very, very forthright that his dream job is the Dallas DC position. Apparently he and his wife have been talking about it for many years.

As it turns out, burning through timeouts unnecessarily is something of a McVay calling card. According to the NFL’s Michael Lopez, no coach wasted more timeouts on a per-game basis from 2018 through Week 9 of 2021. Those “operational” timeouts — timeouts due to play clock mismanagement, the wrong personnel on the field, failed challenges, or simply the look the defense is giving the offense — are largely avoidable and can be quite costly. After all, timeouts come in handy at the end of each half and help a team keep drives alive late in the game.

Only two teams — the Dolphins and the Ravens — managed to extract surplus value from their operational timeouts. Whatever benefit the other 30 teams received from stopping the clock and regrouping before the end of the half (or game) didn’t come close to covering the costs of the timeouts they spent to purchase those precious extra seconds.
