He definitely has struggled but at least he's shown he's athletic enough to get to the right spot. Safety is probably one of the positions we're deepest at. I did in the original post, but yeah, once I was reminded about Martin, that sort of shuffled Butler down into the #4 spot at best. Pretty decent player for that role, no doubt.

naptownskinsfan Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 22 minutes ago, MikeT14 said: I’d absolutely run it back with EB before going to Chip Kelly I honestly agree with that. Chip Kelly would be an awful choice. His offense hasn’t changed at all at UCLA, and I can’t see it succeeded again in the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTMONK HOF Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 It seems like Chip Kelly is the only available OC that can be hired. Don't know if this makes good social media info or is this really a legitimate possibility. You hear faintly in the background Klint Kubiak as a connection through Kyle. If Chip is the OC, J. Daniels is definitely in play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going to take me a while to warm up to this one and I’m not sure I ever will but he wanted to be here. I’ll take that. If he nails the #2 pick then he will put a smile on your all of our faces conversely if he miss fires on the #2 pick he will not last long here.

Until some sort of sanity prevails in college football and they get a new governing body that will probably enact some sort of CBA with revenue sharing, you're going to see quite a few coaches (mostly P5) that will ditch the college ranks for NFL coaching jobs (even as assistant/position coaches).

MikeT14 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 I dunno if anyone saw Garafalo out on the Seattle pod but he was saying that it sounds like some of these rumors about Ben were possibly true. He was Peters target (known) but was not interviewing well and fell out of favor with the rest of the guys (Magic, Myers, etc). Ben withdrew when he saw the writing on the wall. We then pivoted to Macdonald but it was too late. Seattle had all but locked him up. we had blinders on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that is disappointing to read. Some people just don’t interview well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that is disappointing to read. Some people just don’t interview well. I also think it was personality-related. They were clearly looking for strong leaders first and foremost. They said it about ten times in Peters’ press conference. Ben Johnson was an unknown on that front, so his interview would have been one of the best ways to gain insight into his leadership capabilities and vision. If he didn’t do well, I could see why some would be hesitant to tie a first time GM and rookie QB to an inexperienced coach whose leadership ability was a major question mark. It’s more concerning to me that there are so many voices in the room. An early warning sign that we’re not letting Peters take complete ownership of the major decisions moving forward. I don’t like it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could end up a great head coach as well, but we won't know for a little while now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
