Mike Nolan is now the Defensive Coordinator in Atlanta. Gregg Williams is headed to St. Louis. Steve Spagnuolo is set to interview in New Orleans on Wednesday. He met with the Colts on Monday, although we’re unclear as to exactly what he was interviewing for. Could it be…is it possible…might Juan Castillo return as DC in 2012? It seems that just might be possible.

Marty MornHINweg will have quite a task if he becomes the Colts head coach. Indy fans better hope he doesn’t choose to kick after winning the coin flip in OT.

After having Jim Caldwell, believe me, they would be happy with anyone else.

Exactly

Caldwell has don’t nothing since being there. He did well with Dungy’s team, but now a few years out of it being Dungy’s team he’s done nothing to keep it a consistent winner.

Losing Manning does hurt of course, but I don’t think he’s had strong drafts and some of his decision making is questionable.

Well

he was just going with the wind, you can’t blame him for that.

Dwight Howard is coming to Philly. Maybe. Probably not. But we can at least hope, that's all we have.

Well if they make it to the playoffs the new rule will actually make that work.

The answer to your question

We can only hope.

Double-edged sword.

Our RZ TD% will probably go up, but you can probably kiss Vick’s passing resurgence goodbye, then.

Ever since the league figured him out starting against the Vikings in 2010, Vick’s play has been average to subpar…

TO

The reoccurring cancer. Go away bro, you are no longer relevant. BTW, Dennis Rodman says you can crash on his futon.

The coaches are to blame, the players are to blame. Sorry to say, but Andy has lost this team. 53 super talented individuals with no heart.

If the Eagles are going to work out Trent Ewwards, they should work out TO.

Kinda laugh at Shanny. He has vastly overrated thanks to Elway & Company back then. He hasn’t been anything but a mediocre coach since. Then the fact he brings his son over whose only experience was in Houston, was a disaster. His sons inexperience cost the redskins alot ( reason why grossman got the nod because he was coached by his son in houston ).

So i laugh at the skins & skeletor.

As for the colts, soon as i seen caldwell was fired the other day i mentioned in a post there was a rumor he would be interviewing ( while he was interviewing with oakland ).

Eagles are already setting themselves up for a very tough offseasn. DC coaching is in shambles, possibility of having to find a new offense coach ( one who would want to be a yes man to reids offense )

The colts have absolutely no one on their team to build around. Reggie Wayne is a FA and Dallas Clark is due like $5million and will most likely be cut. Jeff Saturday is thinking about retiring.

That leaves Austin Collie, Pierre Garcon, and Donald Brown to build a team around. Wtf? And the defense needs help at every position except DE.

I remember

in the halcyon days when TO first came to Philly, I read an article telling us not to judge TO until we had been where he came from (Alabama) and therefore could understand why he seemed defensive and sensitive, when he was actually a really swell guy. Having lived a large part of my life in Alabama, I took the advice to heart and judged TO and at that time thought he was a real class A jerk. I can’t say any of his behavior since then has changed my mind.
