TerryBoats Posted September 25, 2025 Report Share Posted September 25, 2025 Klint Kubiac is rating very highly in terms of scripted plays. JSN has been unstoppable. Darnold is throwing into tight coverage at the 5th lowest rate and they are #5 in PPG. He also had high moments as a playcaller in NO, with Carr posting one of the most efficient seasons of his career and the offense averaging 25 PPG despite major talent issues. He also threw into tight coverage at the 5th lowest rate of all QBs. He's high on my list of candidates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash Posted September 25, 2025 Report Share Posted September 25, 2025 (edited) What style of offense is Kubiak running?? Something close to McVey/Shannahan/ LaFleur?? AI tells me, outside zone running, run and pass look the same at the snap, less decisions by the QB with each play, and lots of short passing, play action, deep shots etc..I like that style of offense personally..

Instead Detroit just ran out the clock. His explanation was weird. And with the Jets his clock management was terrible. As many others have said, it's mostly about the talent on the roster. You have to be really bad or really good to impact games that much. Was that similar to Vrabel not calling the TO's against Buffalo in Nashville? Which I think you were OK with?

I think he thought that the Bills expected him to call a TO, he didn't and it would fluster them. It worked... The Bills just needed a FG to tie. They opted to try and win in regulation.

Tnasty Posted September 25, 2025 Report Share Posted September 25, 2025 Curt Cignetti should seriously be considered. All he does is win and turn around football programs. An nfl team will eventually give him a shot, I have no problem with that team being the titans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really are. Great OL, Drake London is tremendous. Kyle Pitts & Bijan Robinson were the best TE & RB prospects to come out in ages. Somehow with all this talent Kirk Cousins completely fell on his face & now Penix is following suit. Now Cousins is old & maybe Penix is a bust but it isnt a good look for Zac’s resume that’s for sure…….. Mythos27 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his team is loaded. They're my pick to come out of the NFC BTW. Despite Bowles. Tampa really is stacked. They’re completely decimated by injuries & still have a solid team. Basically their entire OL is injured including Tristan Wirfs. Chris Godwin is hurt. Mike Evans got hurt during the game. I believe Lavonte David got hurt. Calijah Kancey is hurt. They have a half dozen elite guys not playing & they still dominated the Jets who I get are bad. It was a close game score wise but TB dominated them. The Jets blocked a FG for a score after a sortve garbage time TD they had. Also Emeka Egbuka is gonna be a superstar. The stuff about him being a slot only was totally off. Dude was making one handed grabs down the sideline, beating Sauce a few times. Total stud. And Baker is a monster. IsntLifeFunny 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the Eagles last year but they lost 8 starters on defense and are not as dominant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say in no particular order TB, Philly, Detroit, Buffalo & Balt are clearly the top 5 rosters. I might put the Lions at the top after that MNF performance. They’re just stacked on the lines. Penei Sewell is as destructive a run blocker as I’ve seen in a long, long time. In fact I think I would put them in the top spot especially if Aidan Hutchinson’s knee keeps improving throughout the season & he gets closer & closer to the All-World guy he was last year. Thank goodness Jax picked Travon Walker over him. There’s plenty of ways to construct a great roster but Detroit’s would be my preference in an ideal world. Dominant in the trenches, big & physical all over, even in the secondary & WR (St. Brown) while sprinkling in just enough electric, big play guys like Gibbs & Jameson Williams. They’re just so well rounded. Not overly reliant on just one aspect like an elite QB or defense. They can win doing a lot of things in any type of game.

TerryBoats Posted September 26, 2025 Report Share Posted September 26, 2025 Any reason that we shouldn't just consider hiring LaFluer (Mike)? Prior Rams OCs Kevin O'Connell and Matt LaFluer have fared very well as HCs, and Coen is tbd but has at the very least been excellent in a play calling role. I think he largely deserves a pass for his time in NY, but even that offense in 2021 managed to give Vrabel problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
