As long as Leftwich isn't a "offensive genius" or "guru", he should do OK.
NFL 2021 season - Belichick Strikes Back
- Thread starter BlueStuff
- Start date
Being a first round pick himself, he should be able to help Trevor Lawrence adapt to the pro game. From everything I've read, Leftwich is a player's coach, right down to attempting playcalling late in the season to help players reach their incentives.
I hope he does well.
I didn't even know teams were allowed to refuse to sell tickets to visiting fans.
Smacks of paranoia, to be honest.

The Milwaukee Brewers have done the same thing with Cubs fans, since they turn "Miller" Park into Wrigley North so often.
Apparently empty seats are less embarrassing than being filled with the other team's colors.
They are building from the ground up there, literally because Urban burned it all to the ground. It may be an overused term, but if Leftwich can build a culture like Dan Campbell did with the Lions, I think he's got a good shot.
With my picks last week, I'm up to 7-3 for the playoffs.
Cincinnati vs. Kansas City - Cincinnati. Why not? The Chiefs are probably going to win, but Burrow has been hot (won me a fantasy championship too) and I'd much rather see a long suffering franchise finally get a shot.
Los Angeles vs. San Francisco - Los Angeles. Cheering for Stafford and the Rams have the pedigree to win.
Adrian Wilson of Arizona to replace Trent Baalke as GM in Jacksonville.
Mike McCarthy better be looking over his shoulder. Between Quinn and Sean Payton, 2022 will be Super Bowl or bust for Dallas.

Bears finished 6th in defense, but somewhere near the bottom in offense. Definitely gonna need a top flight OC now, Lazar isn't it.
Stephen A. agrees
Bears traditionally seem to have more success with defensive coaches. So I’m not surprised they went down that road this time. Just bring in an OC/QB coach that can get on the same page with Eberflus and Fields.
Obviously more important that the HC can connect with the players. We've had quite a few that couldn't do that.
Ditka was, what, an assistant coach when the Bears brought him back as head coach? Until he snapped, he was a really good HC.
Eberflus is an interesting hire.
I don’t think Ditka’s antics would fly with the modern player. They would quickly tune him out.

That's the player's problem. Too many overpaid babies. He was the perfect fit for those 80's teams.
It would actually be more his problem. Football teams are more like modern workplaces now, not Marine boot camps.
He would have to change or be left off the football field.
This week on Deadspin.....
"Don't give Mike McDaniel a head coaching job because he's white. What do you mean he's bi-racial? I'll just delete my Twitter account now."
"We at Deadspin regret the error but are leaving the article up in its original form because race-baiting virtue signaling gets a lot of clicks."
