Starting OL and DL next year

Assparty and Tafai are so bad. Im not sure they have any opportunity to be good tackles. Interior has been solid to good?

I see lots of good on the D line though so I'm willing to LIPO especially if Durftoe is back. Lack of pass rush IMO is Belichick

Steve Belichick has made 2 phone calls since getting off plane this morning.

One to his agent letting all 32 NFL teams he will take ANY defensive position coach opening that comes up

Second to his real estate agent seeing if his landlord will let his lease go from month to month to day to day if he agrees to pay extra every month for that flexibility.

He makes over a million as a playcaller at UW. There are only 5-6 DC in the NFL that make that much. He’s not leaving unless his dad gets another job and it sounds like Kraft blackballed Bill. I could be wrong and maybe a pay cut and giving up playcalling is worth not recruiting but personally I never like leaving money on the table.

There are at least 15 who make that much.

You’re Close. There are 12 that make more. Belechiks salary would put him T13 out of 32 DC’s in the NFL. I stand corrected. If he performs at UW he’ll get a raise that would put him top10 in the NFL. He’d be taking a big pay cut to be a position coach.

I'm not that down on Belicheck because losing his best corner (Dixon to such a BS call in the first quarter) forced him to be more conservative. And it's not like he returned Bralen Trice and ZTF. Durfee was supposed to be the next good UW pass-rusher and can't get healthy while the other guys aren't 3 down linemen yet (Isiah Ward, Lance Holtzclaw, and Jacob Lane).

And let's be honest, Bandes and Valdez are JAGs. I like Elinneus Davis for a guy who could be good against the run and pass but he's only a RS-Frosh so I'm looking forward to seeing him next year. The staff will definitely need to find a stud DL or two in the portal and that will cost at least $350k each (if not $500k).
