One thing that seems like a good thing to me is how Micah Parsons is going to be beating up on Guyton in practice for 5 weeks before he's got to go play Myles Garrett. I remember two years ago (or maybe even last year) how everyone was worried about Tyron Smith falling off a cliff because Micah was routinely making him look foolish in practice. Season rolls around, and Tyron is still a beast with everyone. I think Micah is going to improve Guyton exponentially through practice everyday.
I was listening to a Browns podcast and they talked about how they may have to release DT Maurice Hurst because their DL is too crowded! Hmmm... IMO...In DQs first year he brought this D back from oblivion and it was great for these young players to be coddled by their coach and become BFFs, but it wouldn't/couldn't last. There was a slow decline in years two and three. The lack of structure and a coach who coddled created individualism that eventually brought this team down. These young players were in dire need of a coach that was completely involved, not being their BFF, a coach who would create a strong structure that would in turn create a cohesiveness instead of a D full of individuals. Really excited about Zim and his coaching staff who I believe will turn this D around and I think the players want it and will flourish from it. Enjoyed the show...
So here's a question for the both of you, since i have referred to both of you as Dak Apologists. (sorry if you covered this, didn't have 2 hrs to listen to everything). I am hearing a breath of fresh air, that you are admitting there is some asks, that would be too much from Dak. So, specifically what are those asks? Where do you draw a line and stand with the front office. for instance, the 64 mill. is that too much? under what conditions. For me I can say anything beyond 55 mil within 5 years is too big of an ask. If Dak wants ANYTHING beyond 55 the contract has to be 6-8 years. I also don't like the no-trade clause. I don't mind the no tag or guaranteed money. where is your line?
