i was the happiest hippie on this website when we got a offensive mind from within this division - not only that but when we have love mcbride wilson and marv - gtfoh

i hated knowing what petzing was running - the down/situation and formation told you everything - granted we were limited but damm - i still don't know how brissett survived

now we got lafleur who is all about timing coinciding with the route tree - but he operates out of the same honda accord formations - i say honda accord because they're everywhere and you can't tell any of them apart - this is viagra for me

no tipping of the hat - maybe a last second man in motion to seal a block or draw a defender but you're not gonna know what we're running until it's running

far as roles go everybody knows and everybody's happy - marv wants to be outside - wilson inside - mcbride wants the world - they all wanted brissett

my head shakes like skattebo when i think about lafleur and his weaponry - if lafleur is the tricky bastard i suspect him to be our offense is going to be intense

one thing that will be interesting - is once we're out of contention will lafleur still play to win or start on development? (stay with brissett or switch to beck)

that's gonna be tough for a rookie head coach imo but i see it as a foregone conclusion - i think monti sees it that way as well - thus the 1 year contract

but for now my red feathered friends - i say enjoy this offense - and if you have any karma miles saved up or are in good favor with the man upstairs pray for our defense

Watching Shanahan and McVay offenses -- it always seemed that they could get their QBs 4-6 easy completions for 10+ yards a game... and not just vs the recent Cardinal defenses

it would be nice to see MLF create that for the Cards. Many times last year it would seem everything was difficult -- even when the Card QB would go 5/7 passing in a stretch, it felt like 4 of those completions were contested.

I think the offense is going to be fun to watch, both preseason games they scored points, enjoyable for a preseason game. Every team in our division plays a similar offense, we'll see how creative MLF can be to keep DC on their toes. We have weapons, Petzing just didn't know how to use them, I don't think that will be the case with MLF.

I see it like this, we probably will lose 4 games in our division, possibly 2 against the Rams and Hawks, but I think we might beat the 49ers both games. That's 4 losses but outside of that I only expect maybe three more and honestly I think we could theoretically split those games with both the Rams and Hawks. If we do that we might be more like 12 and 5 ish? This is just based on Mike LaFleur, not the same old Cardinals stuff.

In the coming years I think people will want to play under this HC and MLF will attract a solid D coordinator and the right players to compliment our high powered offense. Hopefully MO is up to the task as well to get aggressive.

such a Mike B thing to:

Hit big with a really good offensive mind the produces an offense that is playoff worthy.......

only to be dragged down by a terrible defense coached by the D coordinator you forced on said offensive coach.

I’m not channeling my inner K9, I promise. But is this based on a general feeling of Mike B and his propensity to crap the bed or is this something we know for a fact?

Just wondering which way my in season rage needs to be channeled.

so you’re thinking, running the table on non-divisional games?

is that confidence? Hopium? Substance abuse?

whatever it is...you just keep on going. Keep that crap up. Run with it all season long.

You have an opportunity to make a lot of money if you truly believe this.

the org, across GMs, has a long history of retaining assistant coaches from prior regimes

so, what are the odds that a new HC who had no prior association with the guy who oversaw the 30th ranked defense in the NFL -- thought: "this is the best candidate to turn this defense around"

I suspect the budget given MLF was such that ONLY the guy under contract already could be hired

I wouldn’t be shocked if Dallas’ defense can’t pull it together. I think Washington is gonna be a catastrophe
Agree on the Commies. If Nick Rallis doesn't get it done, I'm hoping that Bidwill opens up the checkbook for Dan Quinn as assistant HC/DC next season.(dreaming is free)
