I’ve never done any mountain climbing, but I’ve done my fair share of dangerous things (in my younger days anyway). I realize flying is very safe according to the statistics, but for me it’s just about not being in control of the situation. I don’t know what that pilot was doing the night before (or a few hours before). I don’t really even care for riding shotgun in a car…unless I really trust the driver Same. I'm not scared to fly but the whole lack of control thing gives me anxiety. The moment you walk in an airport you are giving up control with the airline employees, TSA, the pilots etc. That's why I pop a cannabis edible as soon as I get there, find the nearest bar when I get through security and don't stop throwing them back until I land. To get over the anxiety of not having control. I'm the same with other people driving as well. Can only relax with people I really trust like my brother or my dad or friends I know are good drivers. I'd rather drive across the country at the wheel than give it to somebody who I don't trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metal Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The sad thing is if Alex Singleton were still here he'd be our best LB by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinfan Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 One thing to remember, a lot of really good coordinators flopped at being HCs, b/c it's a different skill set. So you should ignore their track record at HC, even on their side of the ball, and focus on their history as a coordinator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that sounds exactly like an Alex Singleton type team. He loved to make tackles 8-12 yards down field on a run. 6th most points allowed... again... yeah, seems like an Alex Singleton type team.

I think they have to wait for the swelling to go down before they can operate. Maybe that took some extra time. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the personnel, I didn't think Desai did that bad a of job as DC. His game plans to start the games were conservative but second half adjustments were pretty good. Definitely better than what Patricia did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLC Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Desai is only going to be a DC for a HC who calls the defense (ex: McDermott, Morris). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fangio gets ripped for his time in Denver but who was his best QB? Drew Lock, or the WR that played QB during 2020 (Covid). As far as their OC hire goes, it'll have to be an experienced play caller, remember Nick didn't call plays for Reich at Indy, and he was awful here calling plays. I think Lurie likes the idea of Kingsbury because he was a HC, plus he'll call his own plays, while Nick is doing whatever, cleaning toilets. Kingsbury being Riley's OC is another plus for Lurie and Howie because they love that dude, and if they hire Kingsbury as the OC I'd expect Riley to be the HC here in 2025, and for Nick to kick rocks at the end of next season.

Alex Singleton is a better tackler than anyone in our entire back 7.
