Flacco? Have to wonder if Elway will go hard after either of the Harbaughs as well to coach, rumor was he was looking at Shanahan last off season.

Seattle news, extending Carroll this week. Him and Schnieder have been now 12 years in Seattle when Allen made the bold move to cut Jim Mora after one terrible year. After cutting deadwood with guys like Whitehurst playing QB and bringing in unheralded guys and constantly changing over the roster with a goal in mind, they found success and always had guys stepping up and took chances on players that had top level talent butbthat other teams weren't sure about, and that trust and discipline to keep guys on track and buy in, paid off.

But this may be thier best year yet given the circumstances and of where they were supposed to be in the rebuid.. Cutting guys a year too early rather then too late for the Sherman and Bennetts, having to navigate the loss through career ending injury of Avril and Chancellor this year, putting up with Earl Thomas pre and post injury, but molding the defense back into a collective sum greater than its parts, and, comitted to the run and leading the league in team rushing.

Running with the Rams in both games until the final few minutes, a poor lost last week to SF, but on a confidence roll and look to be onto Dallas where they already won this year.
