Nice
 
maybe, like the rest of us, he has a fair amount of experience navigating the mouse with that left hand...

I try not to use the stranger on my computer mouse.

I save it for later..........




Like right now...:eek:

Nice computer.

Haslam - "You've got the job!"

Pettine - "Yes!"

Banner - "...and guess what! Dude, you're gettin' a Dell!"

Nice

Would love to be in the room when he watches the Detroit game when Weeden flips it.

I'd love to see the evaluation on Weeden when it's all said and done

I'm not sure who "Petting" is, but this is some awesome info. Is this a common practice for new head coaches?

Nice

Someone better tell Petting he didn't get the job...

How many games, this is a serious question, would you give Weeden until they go... "Fuck. He stinks."
 

Truth. I could see how watching Weeden's tape would make Pettine grow white hair and age 40 years overnight while being malnurished and having the inability to speak where his only option is to show the FO that exact sign.

I've only been observing, not commenting in these threads, but how hilarious is this photo after his commercial flight to Cleveland? :chuckles:

"Welcome Coach! You'll get your very own office phone, and a single monitor from the early 2000's. Oh and I hope you're not left handed..."
 
Plenty of room on the desk for those shades.

For the lazy ones:

-What kind of defense do you run?

-We don't categorize it as 3-4, 4-3, or anything.

-Run multiple fronts, multiple coverages, and play to our player's strengths. We will change what we do to fit our talent.

-Pressure offenses, force QB's to make decisions quickly. We understand this is a pass first league & want to be outstanding in our secondary & our coverage concepts, and we'll take advantage of the rule where you can get within 5 yards & get your hands on the WR's.

-Need to be physical at the LOS, especially outside at the corners.

-What will be your offensive philosophy? What are you looking for in your coordinator, your offense, your QB?

-Will apply a lot of the principles we'll use defensively to the offense as well. Fit the system to our available talent. Physical, will be the toughest team.

-Looking to fill the staff that way. Guys that are great teachers, great motivators. Not necessarily yellers or screamers.

-Set high standards, be firm but fair. Hold the players accountable to those high standards.

-Have you figured out yet, that job #1, in Cleveland, is to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers?

-Yes. Similar to the New England game when he was in New York. Also understands the battle of Ohio with Cincy. When the schedule comes out, his eye will look to see where those 2 Steeler games are.
 
We are going to fucking demolish the Steelers next season.
