vike daddy Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Broncos G.M. George Paton is staying with the team. But he will no longer be running the football operation. Although the Broncos haven’t announced that development, it’s the inescapable conclusion to be gleaned from the comments made Tuesday by Broncos CEO Greg Penner. Paton had been firmly in charge of the football operation in Denver. Moving forward, the new coach will be. Penner: “I’ve worked with a lot of great CEOs, and it starts with really strong leadership. That’s going to be the most critical factor here in a head coach. Obviously, the X’s and O’s are important, but we need a strong leader for this organization that’s focused on winning. That starts with culture. It’s instilling a sense of accountability and discipline. We need an identity on offense. At the starting point, it has to be about culture and leadership. Those characteristics are what we’ll be focused on the most.” Penner wants a “strong leader for this organization.” Penner has “worked with a lot of great CEOs.” Basically, Penner wants the next coach to be the CEO of the football operation. That used to be Paton. It won’t be, moving forward. It will be the head coach. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/12/28/new-broncos-coach-apparently-will-run-the-football-operation/ i'm not sure i connect the dots the same way Florio is here, regarding Paton not being in charge.

vike daddy Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Ifeadi Odenigbo has officially joined his fifth NFL team in as many seasons after suddenly, and perhaps inexplicably, cut from the Indianapolis Colts this past week. On Tuesday afternoon, the former Vikings starter signed onto the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad. https://vikingsterritory.com/2022/general-news/former-vikings-starter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They essentially had the same career. Ware didn’t in get on his first ballot last year, so I’m guessing he’s going to wait like Allen. Maybe they get in together.

He'll get the bias boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s really no Cowboys bias with the HOF. The Cowboys have 14 players in the HOF, 15 if you consider Charles Haley a Cowboy. The Vikings have 13.

The Vikings have 13. Agreed. The Cowboys have actually been just as screwed as the Vikings often with the HOF. It's evidenced right now with Darren Woodson, who should have been in a long time ago. But, I think this will be Jared's year. Ware will have to wait since Jared was in line first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still feel Allen has been the one waiting for Ware, but maybe they get in together. Freeney is right there too so there’s a bit of a logjam at the position. But I’d take Allen and Ware over Freeney.
