Middle of the pack yards & points given up THIS season Robert Saleh?
How many defenses have not been lit up by Patrick Mahomes again? Patrick has lost 1 game in 14 months and in that game he still scored 30+
You should also try paying attention to the rest of the league. If you did you’d realize that the 49ers have had a shit ton of their best players hurt all year. [Reply]

By the way, Hunt always said back then that he wanted to emulate the Steelers. I believe that Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert report to the owner as well, and Tomlin doesn't report to Colbert as would be traditional.
I did not know that. Thanks for the info. It started with the jets around 10 years ago when idzik came over (from Seattle). I thought it was exclusive to the Jets, but I was wrong. It’s just their ineptitude (from the top down) which know no bounds.
FYI mccannahan passed on mahomes in 2017 because he was still confident in hackenberg being the qb of the future. [Reply]

LOL @ the Hackenberg thing, yikes... that said, I'd be pretty pleased with Saleh just so long as he hires a legit OC capable of rehabbing Darnold
He'll give you a tough, physical identity right away IMO [Reply]

The Jets will be the 49ers East. They’ll be running the Shanahan offense with Mike LaFleur, Matt LaFleur’s brother and they’ll have a tough, hard nosed and physical presence on both sides of the ball.
The biggest question for the Jets, which has been the same question for decades, will be ownership and GM. Douglas seems to have handles himself well so far and he’ll have some serious firepower in the draft thanks to the Adams trade (who ironically, would have been a perfect fot for Sarah’s defense), so if Douglas can draft well, they’ll have a chance to level the playing field in the East.
But the Johnson Brothers are up there among the worst owners in league, but hey, even the Browns finally got it right so maybe the Jets can, too. [Reply]

To be fair, his defense held the Chiefs to just 10 points for 3 quarters, right?
And I don't think it's really fair to judge the 49ers defense based on this season, considering that they lost the services of something like 6 defensive starters in the first month or so of the season. Like 4 in one game, right?
If we lost Clark, Jones, Hitchens, Wilson and Ward for example, all at the same time for the season, our defense would probably be a trainwreck as well. Any defense would be screwed if something like that happened to them. [Reply]

Somebody compared the Steelers strength and conditioning staff to the Jets. The Steelers have a shit load of employees working on their training (full time/Directors et al). The Jets? They have one strength and conditioning coach and a bunch of interns lol. They have to change the culture on the team and put in the hard work, which they haven’t been doing.
Joe Douglas has done a great job under the circumstances. They got a lot for jamal Adam’s and got rid of his mouth, win win. He had a good draft last year.
The Johnson’s are the big problem. They’re cheap billionaires who price gouge the fucking tickets. The giants won two super bowl in 4 years by 2012 and guess who’s tickets were more expensive? Yep, the Jets lol
Ok enough, I can’t talk about the Jets anymore without getting pissed off. I’m gonna wait and see before I pass judgement. [Reply]

IMO, they should trade Darnold for whatever they can get, even if it's just a 3rd and 5th. It's time to move on and create a new culture. Plus, they're going to receive an additional 3rd for hiring Saleh.
They'll have plenty of time and draft picks in order to grab a guy like Zach Wilson or Trey Lance (I'm not a fan of Fields) and still grab an impact WR or even a running back like Najee Harris, who would be amazing in the Shanahan WCO.
The future is bright, as long as the Johnson Brothers don't fuck it up. [Reply]
