2017 Season News Thread

Bears hire former Oregon Ducks HC Mark Helfrich as offensive coordinator. They are expected to be a 3-WR base offense like Oregon was. They might need three new WRs (if Kevin White is injured again). My suggestion for the slot would be to try to sign free agent Jarvis Landry.

Also hire Eliot Wolf and Alonzo Highsmith, who apparently left Green Bay after not getting the promotion to GM.

Woah. They got a talented FO out there now.

Eliot Wolf is a big hire for the Browns

Interesting. I think this is a good hire. Kinda weird that he was unemployed for two years.

Leaving the Bills then Browns will do that.

But he is decent and it will be a good sign for the Packers. They may not have enough talent on D though.

Supposed the Rams are going to tag Sammy Watkins. That might end up being the worst move of the offseason if true.

At only 4.7 targets per game, the complaining is sure to begin soon.

"That's what I get mad at," Watkins said, "When I have one-on-one coverage, go to me. I don't care what's going on over there. I don't care if he's open. When I get one on one, just target me."

"But for me, I need the ball at least 10 times -- I need 10 targets -- and I'll be fine with however many yards I get. And that's what I addressed in talking with my agent. We reached out to a couple people and tried to pull some strings like, 'Hey, I need my targets. You came up to draft me and I'm not getting targets -- that's a problem. You're making me look bad and you're making yourself look bad. Why not make both of us look good?'"

At the time Watkins was getting just 4 to 5 targets per game, just behind Charles Clay who was leading with 6.6

Bills fire OC Rick Dennison.


Potentially hiring Shula with all the former Panthers in the organization.

Panthers hired Norv Turner as their OC and his son Scott as QB coach. There are now 4 members of the Turner family on the coaching staff. Next step: buy team.

Yeah, people are generally happy about it. Should make the Bills offense better.

Nvm understood it wrong.

Good move.

The Bills were 1st in rushing yards, yards per carry and rushing TDs last season.

Dennison brought them to 6th, 16th and 17th respectively.

Or the Charlotte Turners. I never liked the "Carolina" name. Or changing the Phoenix Cardinals to the Arizona Cardinals. People in the general area will root for a team without catering to them with a state or area name (like Carolina or New England). There's plenty of Bear fans here in Rockford IL without having to call them the Illinois Bears, or the Stateline Bears. Also, the "Charlotte Panthers" has a better ring to it.

Wow, that's quite a rant I went on just based on a joke about all the Turners coaching the Panthers.

[goingfor28]

Charlotte is so close to SC too though, so I get why it's Carolina and not Charlotte.
You can get from BofA Stadium to SC in about 20 mins.
