He was an intern with the Raiders from 2003-06, then went to Seattle (2007-16) where he rose up the ranks from college scout, to national scout, to Senior Personnel Executive. He joined the Colts in 2017 as Vice President of Player Personnel and elevated to Asst GM in 2018. I’ve heard some people suggest that he doesn’t necessarily want to be a GM but I’ve also heard people say that he would only do it if it is the right job. You should go check out the Colts YouTube page and watch all the “With the next pick” series from over the years. He is somewhat featured in that series. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think of him as a potential GM? I wonder how much involvement he's had in helping you build your team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhorse Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 He's a good football mind. Will hate to see him go, but he deserves his shot if that is what he wants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is dedicated to the scouting part of his job, similar to Ballard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRustonRifle Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Looks like Indy will be losing some valuable front office personal and coaching staff. Hopefully they have their sites on competent replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I am not complaining, as I hate that style of defense. Whomever his "possible" replacement is hopefully wants to play more press coverage and blitzes more.

Ballard is going to want to stick with some form of 4-3 defense (no dome team ever won a Super Bowl with a 3-4). Under Dungy we ran a Cover 2 (Tampa 2) where the outside corners pressed (before releasing long routes) but the rest of the defense played zone coverage. Flus ran a version of Cover 2 which was mostly zone coverage. I’m not sure if that is doable, but if not, we need to upgrade our safety depth to make sure we can cover better.

I would prefer to have an aggressive 4-3, with pressing corners. Indy’s personnel doesn’t really have the flexibility to go to a 3/4 atm.

RaidersAreOne Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 He's turned down other interviews in the past, so the fact he's even meeting with us is positive. Most Raider fans have Dodds as their #1 GM choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Stallyns Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 Letting Denico Autry go in free agency and seeing the pass rush stagnate has consequences for one person’s job. Although as mentioned it Flus leaves it might’ve meant some changes anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
