No, Hill now becoming a player would just be all the proof anyone needed that Marinelli was the problem on Defense.

Well, he gets blamed for drafting him, so if Hill became a player, that blame would have to be taken away. There's certainly plenty of other things to blame Marinelli for, though.

I will reserve the right to say that he was right and I was wrong. But I'm still ahead 1-0 on Taco so the best Rod can hope for is a tie!

If you just do what most do and blame Joey Ivie on him, you've got the win no matter what.

So many of Rod's picks did develop like Lawrence and it still didn't matter on here.

There is some truth to that. We missed on a lot of DL picks, too, but most of them were third round or lower.

No one here is rooting against him, just speaking the truth.

As nice as it is to have Poe and McCoy, they arent the future and Hill has that chance.

I would hope no one here is rooting against him, but it wouldn't surprise me. Some seem like they would rather be right than Dallas be good.

I took my dogs out to White Sands today. Made sure to hit it right at 7 because of the heat.
The dags were giving up by 8:30, lol.

Got a ton of really cool pics though.

I found the Border Patrol station just a few hundred yards before you get to the national park amusing.
Probably well timed.

They weren't wearing masks, but they weren't approaching vehicles directly, giving space, although they were in the process of tearing down a car as we were going through.

I'll just point out everything wrong.

1. I said one of the best, which you agree. You now concede he exceeded expectations which is good.
2. A player with 100 snaps is not a bust lol.
3. Ruined Collins? I'd love to hear this one, but I don't care. He helped Collins to a big pay day, example of another player Rod was successful with.
4. Every coach cheers when somebody is drafted for their position group, getting mad at that is stupid.
5. "Got lucky to inherit all those HOFs". He had Ware for literally one season, and the other three starters on the line in 2013 were Nick Hayden, George Selvie(another huge Rod win), and 31 year Jason Hatcher(another huge Rod win).

Hatcher at 31 years old, had 11 sacks and was elected to the pro bowl his only season with Rod. 11 sacks in 15 games. His other 9 seasons he had 23 sacks TOTAL lmao. "Inherited", good one.

George Selvie his two season with Rod, 10 sacks total. Selvies 4 seasons without Rod? A total of 4 sacks lol.

Fact is Rod doesn't suck, and you were mad you were wrong.

Rod is a good motivator and has gotten good contributions out of linemen off the street. So yes he's a good dline coach, but scheming, calling plays, or evaluating draft talent isn't a strong area.

I CALLED this with Donny Wilson. lol...I see this guy as a starter at safety. If he stays healthy and gets reps, he will start. He has very good instincts and is smart, good hands too. Most db's do not.

so what about his man coverage and tackling ...?

He'll be coming off the bench and getting limited snaps. I don't see anything wrong with I guy with his experience for that role!

See my post about him making as much as McCoy, Poe, Griffen, and Smith combined.

That’s wrong.

Way wrong.
