When your coach is a DL savant, you over-invest in DL.

When your coach is a DB, you over-invest in DB.

No coach should ever have to coach up players in their area of specialization.

One of these days we'll get ourselves an offensive coach; I'd be thrilled to overinvest literally anywhere on that side of the ball.

Jets increased offer to Seferian-Jenkins, who's visiting Seahawks today

The Jets increased their offer to free agent TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins Tuesday night, according to SNY's Ralph Vacchiano, who notes that it kept the Jets in the chase, but wasn't enough to head off today's visit with the Seahawks.

The original offer was $8 million for two years, with not much guaranteed.

Seattle is serious about signing Seferian-Jenkins after losing TE Jimmy Graham, a source told Vacchiano. 

According to the Tacoma News Tribune's Gregg Bell,  Seferian-Jenkins is "extremely interested" in playing for the Seahawks, who have just as much interest. He is from the Seattle area, and he recently returned home to workout there this week. He has also said he wants to "win big and win big at home."

He is looking for a short-term deal, so that he can hit free agency again before the age of 30. That could work with the Seahawks estimated $30 million in cap space. The Seahawks are also considering re-signing TE Luke Wilson, who was their No. 2 tight end last season.

And before the "Negative Nellies" jump in to say why is ARZ cutting him if he's so
good?  The reason is their new HC (Wilks) is coming from CAR were he ran a zone based
coverage scheme in their secondary.  Mathieu is best in a press man coverage scheme
were he can float around and cover anybody.  And Bowles designed his position when
he was ARZ DC back in 2013

Teams do all sorts of silly sh*t with the franchise tag.

They just gave up draft capital for 2 literal psychopaths to pass on Johnson.   That's pretty telling.  

Do you know how much a 3rd consecutive Tag would cost for a CB. Washington had to make the same decision and offer up Draft capital to sign Alex Smith. Your argument is weak.

I said it yesterday and will say, as soon as SEA lost Graham, ASJ to SEA is a lock. Doubt he leaves without a signed offer. No big loss though.

The Honey Badger is fun to watch.  He's had success in Bowles' defense.  

I don't think it's a wise investment... but we're in this weird situation where there really are no more offensive players out there I'm keen on signing and we still have boatloads of cap space and a poor roster.  

I still think we should punt, though.  The goal of next year should be developing a quarterback (a high first rounder that rides the bench, preferably) and ensure Bowles & Macc get axed.  If that's the case, we shouldn't be handing out big money to Tyran; we don't want to hand our next coach three safeties, one of which is overpaid, the other two who are top picks. 

Exercise discipline.  Pass.

So The Johnson's are going to eat 2 yrs worth of contracts for Mcc & Bowles?

Thing is with all this space, you have to spend to a minimum.  I don't even know who they are going to sign.

So....why not just sign him?  lmfao  Dude, they literally traded for 2 registered psychopaths to replace Johnson.  My take, is spot on.  Like usual.

I think that's over four years that we've got to spend the minimum - not absolute on that, but reasonably certain.

I don't speak for the Johnsons.  Failure will force their hand, or rather, it should force their hand. 

There's that cliche about every coaching contract is a one-year deal, and while that's probably oversimplified and overused, if MaccBowles lead us to a third 5-11 season, I expect them to get sh*tcanned, agreed?

I want an offensive coach that doesn't lose the locker room year two.  I need a GM that will select premium positions early in the draft and hit on some later round picks.  I don't think I'm being unreasonable.

Sorry but you're wrong. The Rams have been making moves to cut salary this offseason because they need space to sign Aaron Donald, you know the first DT to win NFL DPOY since 1999. They COULDN'T pay Johnson and then had to trade for Peters (who is still cheap on a rookie contract) so they wouldn't lose so much talent at CB.

Dumbest ******* team in the league.

Mac: I've written on this piece of paper, a number, chew on that.

Slides the paper across the table. Sefarian stands.

Mac: (pulling another paper from his jacket pocket) Okay, I happen to have another piece of paper.

Sefarian walks away.

Mac: Mull it over. (to Bowles) He'll be back....He's not coming back, is he?

Jets fans: Jamal Adams is great and versatile and great and a playmaker and great.

 

Also Jets fans: What we really need now is a hybrid linebacker slot corner.

I’m not sure how much of my enthusiasm is really about moving on from Skrine.

My new Defensive System

The 4-1-1-5

4 Defensive Tackles up front

1 Hybrid speed Middle Linebacker

1 dedicated #1 CB to cover the opponents #1 WR in man

5 Safeties to Play Zone/Range Around Behind the Big Line and Hammer Everyone

 

When this defense inevitably makes it's huge splash, name it after me.  The Warfish Defense!

INT. A shadowy mountain lair. An enormous room with vaulted ceilings. The floor is littered with Starbucks cups. Filling one wall is a large fireplace containing a raging blaze. An armchair faces it. Pan to reveal MIKE MACCAGNAN draped in a hooded cloak. His face is nearly invisible within the hood. He stares vacantly into the flames. His eyes are like mirrors, reflecting the flames but revealing nothing within.

BRIAN HEIMERDINGER enters the room quietly, so as not to disturb him. He silently moves across the cavernous space until he stands behind the chair. Though he has made no sound, MACCAGNAN seems to sense his presence.

MACCAGNAN: Brian.

HEIMERDINGER: Sir, Austin Sefarian-Jenkins has refused our latest offer.

MACCAGNAN sighs deeply and closes his eyes. Though his physical position has not changed, he appears smaller, meeker, diminished somehow, as if the news were a heavy load placed upon his back. He opens his eyes. They are the eyes of a man much older than his years.

MACCAGNAN: I knew this day would come.

Silence descends over the room. It goes on--thirty seconds, sixty, ninety. Whole minutes pass. It grows awkward, then uncomfortable, then agonizing. The space seems to shrink around them. Finally, HEIMERDINGER, swallowing hard, speaks.

HEIMERDINGER: Sir, we need a decision.

MACCAGNAN sighs deeply and closes his eyes once more. When he opens them, they are filled with a strange combination of sorrow and purpose, as though he had come to a fateful decision not entirely of his own making. His voice, when it comes, is barely audible over the crackle of the flames.

MACCAGNAN: Release the cupcakes.
