Who did we draft recently on defense that's a square peg in a round hole?

hagan714

just being generalizing in my statement.

If the DC is at the mercy of player operation and has to take what he gets than that is a risk i can see happening.

I would owe the site and Rob a huge apology.

IMO an approach like this to the drafting makes no sense whats so ever and would make me really worried about the front office organization as a whole.

Basic ideology is completely flawed.

No doubt the DC and OC have some input at some point in time, but player personnel, GM and head coach would be the ones come up with the list first.

I have a few emails out.

But my issue with player personnel as you have him is the basic job description does not fit it really.

I always viewed them as the Chatty Cathy's of the NFL. they know all the dirty. that is their job. A NFL Social Butterfly Society member

Or "THE" Executive Secretary.

I never really viewed him as the person who selects anyone. but i am sure there are times when he has the swaying statement or two. his research gathering must be flawless and his source must be solid. or your sunk.

So in no way do i minimize his role in any off this. he is huge in getting every thing ready for the off season

If the GM, OC or DC want more info on players he is the guy to get it.

just do not ask him to get the coffee. Do not get on his bad side either. last person you want to give you a bad recommendation for your next job.


Who is the Pro Personnel Director? | National Football Post


One of an agents’ best friends is the Pro Personnel Director. We need him to have a positive opinion about our clients, we need him to get our client a workout when he’s on the street, and help sell his value internally when doing a contract.
One of the most understated jobs in the NFL is the Pro Personnel Director. On paper, his job is to know every relevant player in the league who can possibly become available in any capacity and help his team. The Pro Director doesn’t get to make a lot of moves. The ones that he does make can make the difference of a team making the playoffs, having solid back-ups, and making sure that the bottom half of the roster is competitive and can fill in when a star player is hurt. However, this position is at times under managed, mismanaged and the wrong man can do more harm than good to his team.

GM - i understand his role and to Mickey's credit he has done a solid job. It can not be easy when both DC and OC want a pick and refuse to budge

As soon as i get a response or two i will post it

I'm not thinking about life after Drew.

I'm thinking life after Goodwin.

Drew has not forgotten how to play Quarterback. They O-Line is not that good.

Mr.Riaton

I would like to see Drew here for a few more years with great protection like he used to have. He's not comfortable with that line and it's very obvious. I will admit,he did look comfortable yesterday, and we saw the results of that. I would love to build a superior o line to protect Brees on his way out and give a good start to whoever comes in. Someone mentioned getting Cousins and I would not have a problem with that. I've been impressed with him the few times I got to watch him play. I feel pretty good about Griffin(Drews backup,not RG3),but I think Cousins would be a better option IMO.

Primadona = RGIII.

For those that feel tempted, please see exhibit the NY Jets... what a disaster at QB!

Goodwin's play this season has impacted both guard spots.

Solidify the line and we'll get another 3-4 years of the Drew Brees we saw in Pittsburgh.
