Does this mean our coordinators are Salt n Shepa?

I’ll show myself out.

Give him a few months of up downs and he’ll be ready to run Gibbs all over a weak run defense FTW.

@QBHATER90 has sources for information. What he doesn’t know is that his sources get their info from Jon.

I would like to know what his opinion of Jay Leno is.

I wonder if Engstrand wasn’t ready, or they feel like Morton was too good to pass on

Oooh, baby, baby. Baby, baby.

We’re really not in direct competition. His joke is too witty and lacks the proper degree of hack dad joke energy.

Edited to add the post from @QBHATER90 that I previously referenced. Here were his comments about both Scottie and Tanner when Morton was being speculated yesterday.

Remember this…
Play it on about 1.5x Speed.
Johnny doesn’t last long.

I’d have reservations if Morton didn’t spend a year in Detroit with Campbell as a head coach. Both of them know what they are getting. Jared Goff has worked with Morton and also knows what he’s getting. I don’t see this move happening if Goff didn’t sign off on it. So Morton may not be the splashy hire, but I’m good with it.

He knows the culture, and most of the offensive starters he coached in 2022 are still on the team. Long history with Dan Campbell and Sean Payton. I like it.

Plus we kept Fraley, Scottie and Brunell too it appears. Still lots of familiar coaches for the offense.

I hope his love affair with Reynolds is over now though. We seriously need to upgrade his position. He shouldn’t be returning kicks anymore

This bugged me so much. Every time they kicked off to us Reynolds would run it wide like he had blazing speed :joy:
