JMac --- thanks for the long chat, insights are always great.   Are players allowed to call time-outs?  There were multiple plays where the defensive guys were gesturing, pointing, etc... and clearly not on the same page.  If a player can call a time-out,  you'd think that would be in order on some of those plays to avoid, you know, communication issues?

Thanks, Kordell. Appreciate you stopping by. Yes, they are. Usually that would be the defensive captain or green dot guy, something of that nature.

I think Gruden would be the perfect coach for the Steelers next year. Jason make it happen!

Yeah, that's likely. Ha. Fun thought. Not gonna happen. Not in a billion years.

Given his history, I’m not confident Cherington can pull off any of the needed pieces.

The past trade history is not good. I hear you. That being said, you only need one or two to hit. Ben has made some good moves (Bart, the Chandler draft pick looks solid, I don't hate IKF, Skenes though it was obvious, bringing up Jones, etc.) But yeah, the trade return hasn't matched what was going out.

Howdy. Hope your holiday is a happy one. Read elsewhere about what a great job Hines is doing at Arizona State. And yet both Georgia and (even worse) the Steelers wouldn't hire him. What gives?

I think they're vastly different jobs. Just because you're a solid HC or assistant somewhere, doesn't automatically make you a fit. May have something to do with Pickens. Maybe Azzanni has a specific personality type? I don't know. I'm not in those rooms. I'm just saying that we don't know everything there is to know about the Hines Ward situation.

Can I have two options? I'd go with Jack Suwinski or TBD. Not the pitching TBD we've come to know so well, but I do think they could acquire that guy still, possibly via trade. I do think they're gonna give Jack a chance to win the job.
OK, everybody. Thanks so much for this. Really enjoyed it. Was bummed our site was down for last week's. Let's do this again real soon.
