Had to be done. There was no way they could bring him back.

As for a replacement, I wouldn’t mind having Eberflus back.

Believe it or not I ran into Bradley tonight. He swears he got a raw deal and bragged about how he was so quick to land on his feet. Says he's gonna prove everyone wrong. I'm unconvinced. He shorted me a Big Mac.

Tend to disagree. Ballard kept his job because Irsay wasn’t willing to tear the team down to the studs and start over.

To some extent, if I had been Ballard, I would’ve fired Bradley because I’ve invested a lot of capital into pass rushers…guys like Paye, Odeyingbo, Latu, Ebukam, and Lewis, and Gus was never able to forge them into anything that resembles an effective unit. None of those guys might be the second coming of JJ Watt or Reggie White, but there are plenty of Coordinators who manage to pressure the passer without a pair of Hall Of Famers manning DE.

I won't be surprised if they hire from within: Charlie Partridge.

That will not happen, the guy has never coached anything other than D-Line. If Steichen has any balls he...DOES NOT LET CHRIS BALLARD make the choice.

Steichen needs to live or die with his guy.

I'm not staying I want it to happen, just that I wouldn't be surprised. They wouldn't have to do a search or change much of anything defensively, and it would be cheaper. Then, if it fails in '25, they could scrap the whole bunch and start completely over. GM, HC, OC, DC, QB all gone at once.
