Picked this up from another board
Backing up to my last thread I had said MD did not want to be like his father & have his hands involved in staff, etc. Either Wed or Thrs, MD, JDR, RM, DC, Mack, Downing & KNJ had about a 3 hr meeting.MD expressed his frustrations & listened to ALL sides. Basically a meeting of IF there was any internal issues, speak now. He also said the team NEEDS to be better cannot have a drop off like this after a year last year. Afterwards, a meeting between JDR, MD & RM & MD basically said IF this gets ugly( the KC gm) things WILL need to change or be changed sooner rather then later.
As it sounds for now, DC spoke up & likely bough Downing some more time. IF the offense can get on track & become a juggernaut & show improvement in the few wks. TD will likely be on board. It's sounding like they're gonna pull a Musgrave @ seasons end & let KNJ's contract expire & now renew it. However, we'll see. Pagano obviously would be next man up as DC.
FA/Trade:
So, with the trade deadline coming up on the 31st, doesn't appear anything or anyone is on the radar.No other FA either. Obi should be coming back really soon & Conley is looking to become IR'd. I think they're give Conley a little more time but team rushed him back for that 1 game & he didn't fully recover thus the pain & not being able to practice 100%.
FORGOT TO ADD:
ML:
Team was not to happy w/ what he did. JDR was furious. Told they will deal with it as a team & behind closed doors.
Amerson:
Was demoted. Said he suffered a foot injury but wasn't to the degree he couldn't go back out there. When I say that, I mean in terms IF this was a p/o game, this simply was a benching for McD.
