MONKEN, OR THE OC FROM THE RAMS.
Nate Scheelhasse I'm telling you he can make this offense can roll
Rashad Johnson is the only defensive assistant that should have been retained.
This will be a bottom 5 defense next season. The clowns on defense are bad coaches.
you guys got it wrong about munkin and his interview in 2023. Baker was not signed until 1-2 months after munkin declined ofer. mun kin specially said that there was only one qb on roster and he did not feel it couldwork out. Now Baker is here and it is much different situation.
Bowles could drill his defense on tackling in the open field; they don't do that worth a crap. And, a little man coverage would help; it would put the defensive back in the same camera range as the opponent's receiver when he catches the ball for a 50 yard run. It seems like Bowles calls Cover 2 or Cover 3 and it turns out to be cover 0 a lot. Blitzing every play would make sense if they were putting pressure on the opponent's QB..
They better Harry because a lot of them oc would go out for hc especially Pittsburgh hc job
Todd and Todd for the Super Bowl 2026
What about defensive coordinator? If we have a great offensive coordinator improvement, I am still concerned about the defensive coordinator. You can't win championships without a great defense. PERIOD! Did we stop Bijan Robinson?
Maybe we'll get lucky and Bowles will get thrown in prison… forcing the team to get a new coach. That's pretty much our only chance at having a respectable season
Try not to yell during a podcast, do your best🤣 and while you’re at it, don’t go out on a limb or anything..: BOLD Prediction on a ridiculous lame duck “didn’t get fired because of money “ dead man walking coach ..predicting that “Turtle Todd” the same guy who ran at 30 times against Carolina in the first meeting, would make a move to hire a guy with zero play experience, I would expect him to do the most calories type of thing you can do to save your own skin!
It’s not the first time we’ve watched you yawn, if you can’t do a second job, don’t take it. Or at least buy a Red Bull.😂
Amen! If he did anything other than eat a pack of chips ahoy with a glass of milk per night maybe we could help you get arrested, maybe if they take the cookies away he can figure out how to run a defense that’s not still in almost a decade old! A 12-year-old could call plays against his defense throw 8 yard passes for 60 minutes. There’s no way you can lose.
Let’s hope we get an adjuster who’s better in pass covers then Reddick lol, if I see another extra rush, drop into pass coverage of vomit!
Edge rushers are not supposed to drop into pass coverage “ especially if you pay them $14 million” you’re not even fooling the fans turtle Todd, what makes you think u. Could fool an opposing OC? Go eat a cookie, at least ownership had the stones had the stones to fire Tony Dungy after strategies like run at 30 times and play defense😂 that makes sense a little bit 20 years ago, but with the real changes, it makes zero sense today. Thank you for making me wanna vomit for over two months!
You ain't Lyin
I think we all know the Glazers made a big mistake keeping Bowles, it's sad, because our Super Bowl window is closing fast. You cant build on rotten foundations. As a die hard Bucs fan, I'll be hoping for the best, I just wish I felt a bit more optimistic.
I dought we can get Mike McDaniel he will land a HC position. So get Scheelhaase in here and get him hired
I'll say this if the Bucs don't bring in a Top Edge and ILB, this team will fall apart and the Glazers and Licht will be the reason. This will lead to another Dark Decade and an empty stadium for years to come
It seems like Coach Bowles’ eureka moment was “don’t blitz so much”. That’s a TERRIBLE epiphany! Blitz even more, Todd! That’s what you are good at
It would be interesting to know if Todd is participating in the offensive coaching search or if he's started his assistant coaching search. I won't believe his seat is safe until he's hiring his new coaches.
Look it's the impractical Jokers guy..
Defense sucked all year so what does Todd Bowles do? Fires a bunch of offensive coaches. smh. I think I'm going to take the year off from football next year, spend more time with the fam. I go out of my way to be near a TV on Sundays. This team isn't worth the hassle at this point. Not to mention the expense of the NFL ticket.
Baker Mayfield was not on this team when Monken turned down the job. Monken tried to take Mayfield with him to Baltimore due to the Lamar Jackson contract saga.
I’m still questioning if those 3 will have the same role. Maybe this is a situation where Larry Foote becomes the run game coordinator alone while they bring in a pass rush specialist. I’m still very curious on how they roll things out from here.
2026 RINSE AND REPEAT
SMH
Actually Baker got the Browns their first playoff win since the Belichick era in 1994
Nate scheelhaase
The fact that Grant Udinski’s name has HARDLY been mentioned….. is terrible. He is the one. It’s McDaniel or Udinski, PERIOD.
Is it Only my Impression, or isthe Commercial part becoming , Bigger and Bigger?
New oc won’t change the hc
The interviewers (Bucs)
Are also honing their interview skills with these guys
