Biggest takeaways from JDR’s conference call:
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) January 15, 2020
-I don’t think he feels like this defense was very good or very close to good.
-He’s gonna figure out whether the lack of preparedness was coaching or players just not getting it.
-Clean slate for everybody
Super polished, too.
Jack Del Rio says the key to their D is having "penetrative, disruptive defensive linemen." Also says "having a guy like Von Miller or Khalil Mack... puts a lot of pressure on the offense.".... Didn't want to talk about Chase Young, fwiw.

To be fair, every defensive coordinator ever says the same thing. https://t.co/gGbya2FejD

Here comes Del Rio to save the day! (Or at least the lack of communication).

Scott Turner on call says he sees in Dwayne Haskins a "big, strong guy who can push the ball down the field. We want to use a lot of play action pass... Something he's also done in the past is get the ball out quick, distribute the ball to the playmakers."
— John Keim (@john_keim) January 15, 2020
Turner said there were no ill feelings toward the Redskins after they fired his dad. “It’s a dream come true to come back here. It’s pretty surreal. This is where I consider home. To come back here and be the offensive coordinator for this franchise is really awesome. "

Pete Carroll, Gary Kubiak, Bill Belichick. All won Super Bowls with their sons on the coaching staff. Andy Reid is two wins away.

Coming up on #GMFB we're announcing the third round of members selected to Pro Football Hall of Fame Centennial Class! @nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/ZY6ECQY9O2
The NFL HOF passes on Joe Jacoby once again! The ‘80s all decade LT and 4x PB, 3x All Pro w/3 SB titles remains in HOF purgatory. In a special 100th Annv. the NFL elected 15 men for the HOF. Jim Covert (Bears) was one of them. Same era, 2x PB, 2x All Pro, 1 SB. Just wrong! #HTTR pic.twitter.com/9XWqZzbiO0
— Ed Sheahin (@NFLPhotoGuy) January 15, 2020
Somehow @JoeJacoby66HOG wasn’t on the list of finalists for this group. Jake played 13 years, played in 4 Super Bowls, won 3 and made 4 Pro Bowls. Covert played 8 years, played in 1 Super Bowl and made 2 Pro Bowls. Ridiculous https://t.co/4R0EEH95fx

Truly a sad day. Drew Pearson in now the only member of the NFL 1970’s All Decade 1st Team not in. The only player NOT in. #Cowboys @NBCDFWSports pic.twitter.com/1601DD4myZ

I know it’s different categories. But on same day Drew Pearson fails to make HOF, Paul Tagliabue who called concussion stories “pack journalism” and created “Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Committee” headed by a rheumatologist earns his gold jacket. Way to go, blue ribbon panel.

One thing I will say about the Centennial Hall of Fame class: it's definitely a list of people who were involved with pro football.

Oh, nothing. Just a play where Tyrann Mathieu fakes a blitz, drops to cover Deshaun Watson's first read, then covers his second read, then forces the scramble out of bounds.

Watching a lot of Luke Kuechly tape today and I'm still marveling at just how damn smart he was/is. I don't think I'll ever see another linebacker like him.
— Brett Kollmann (@BrettKollmann) January 15, 2020
The pick six against Romo back in 2015 is still one of the best plays I've ever seen.
The #Redskins paid tribute to @LukeKuechly since his retirement video. @RiverboatRonHC @dh_simba7 @DhaSickest & @LFletcher59 included in this.
— Chris Russell AKA "The Rooster" (@Russellmania621) January 15, 2020
Now, does Kuechly want to do something right away? https://t.co/F0WotXRVN5#Skins #KeepPounding #Panthers #NFL

The presumptive Top 3 receivers in the 2020 class have all declared: Clemson's Tee Higgins, Alabama's Jerry Jeudy and Oklahoma's CeeDee Lamb. Should be interesting to see if another receiver in a VERY deep class can crash their party.

Cardinals’ WR Larry Fitzgerald is returning to play for a 17th NFL season.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 15, 2020
The #AZCardinals are giving WR Larry Fitzgerald a 1-year extension through the 2020 season and my understanding is he’s expected to return for roughly the same amount as last year. That would be $11M with some incentives. He did not plan on returning for less.
