Only issue I have with Noteboom is, can he stay healthy? If he goes down, which is something I expect will happen, who takes over? David Edwards? Chandler Brewer? Someone else? Worse case scenario is Edwards moves over but one hopes that after a year in the program, Alaric will take the 3rd OT spot...

Not super crazy to have Saffold back but sounds like Allen is next priority on oline after Notebroom and my guess is after that they'll look at an in house candidate at RG, of which, they actually have some intriguing candidates. Anchrum, possibly.

Awesome news... can see them getting a deal done with Allen too and that will prob be it for the line. Corbett walks and an in house candidate takes over at RG. Anchrum, perhaps.

I doubt that there are many guys that can transcend a system but there was an argument that Rodgers did it. It was reported some that McCarthy's offensive system was pretty bland and basic but Rodgers would end up calling his own plays and changing plays on the fly or just moving out of structure to...

Speaking of marriage of QB and system: Charles Robinson is a great NFL reporter and breaks a lot of stories. His discussion of McVay and Goff starts at around 5 min mark. Stay for the 49ers reporting.

Gone will be the excessive roll-outs (just some) and more play-action off duo and man blocking than wide-zone, probably a good deal more passing and even shotgun sets on 1st and 2nd down. Less half-backs staying in to block and m...

The whole threads worth a click through. It was two years in the making but this year was a horrible mess of unconscionable turnovers and missed WRs down the field in the passing game. There's not much "game-planning" "offensive design" McVay could have done to solve those issues...

Hard to know how real Gottleib's info is but i've often had the sense/suspicion that Goff couldn't keep up with McVay, that as Goff took more ownership of the offense he just wasn't living up to McVay's expectations. I have a hard time believing his work ethic was an issue. Gottleib's info partiall...

I'm not gonna link the whole article cause it really is worth it to get a sub to the Athletic but this needs to be read (and there's definitely more in the article than just this): https://theathletic.com/2356069/2021/01/31/rams-goff-stafford-trade-lions/ But in 2019 and 2020, there was a growing se...
