He runs sort of that hybrid 4-3 & 3-4 right? Would be a good fit for the bulk of our current personnel!

Even though Chargers’ DC Gus Bradley’s contract expired today, Packers have requested permission to interview him for their DC job, per league source.

So I'm guessing this is old news and that the Packers asked to interview him around the same time they asked to interview the Bears and Lions DC and the Packers got turned down on all of them because they were currently under contract.

But now Bradley and Fangio can talk with any team, as they're free agents.

I'd be happy with either. Bring Casey Hayward back with him.

But not only has Hayward been good in coverage, he’s also been a willing tackler in the running game, according to Bradley.

“It is a different system as far as what we’re asking him to do,” Bradley said. “Now, he played press [man coverage] last year, so there’s some similarities. But play in and play out what we’re asking him to do [is different]. I think he’s done a good job. The corners have done a good job on the perimeter, knock on wood that’s got to keep going.

In the Cover Three ... the CBs play the verticals, making sure no one gets deeper than them on the outside third of the field... but in the Seahawks/Bradley system, they would often start with pressing the WRs before dropping... but the different is they don't follow a guy a guy on crossing routes... unless it's crossing into their zone.

Are you sure? Because Gus Bradley said he was going to mainly play zone coverage (I don't see the article, but I know I read it, after he got hired) and he's very well known for running Cover Three Zone Defense as defensive coordinator (which sometimes looks like man coverage but it's not). Of course I'm sure he mixed in some man coverage but I thought that was manly as a change up to surprise and catch offenses off guard.

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : *game plan

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (23-Apr) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Gutekunst says he'd love to have 13 or 14 picks. He's trading back huh lol

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.
