We’re going to go around the league Roger Craig Jersey , looking at each division and seeing what vacancies could open up for Black Monday. Thankfully there probably won’t be any in Santa Clara, but a coach could bail to fill one of the vacancies elsewhere. Today, o the NFC. The NFC started their firings with the north and Green Bay showing Mike McCarthy the door, we’ll get to that later.Right now it’s the East, a division hard to pinpoint on what will happen. WashingtonWashington has all sorts of issues, most of them not a fault of head coach Jay Gruden. Once in the hunt and leading the division, the loss of quarterback Alex Smith not only deflated the team, but killed all their morale, especially when Smith’s post-ops have been nothing but trouble in infections. Washington also has been rotating quarterbacks, none of them Colin Kaepernick. They just got a shiny new linebacker too in Reuben Foster. An acquisition when combined with the Kaepernick refusal has led to a PR nightmare for the team. They just came off a huge blowout that was 40-0 at one point until Josh Johnson showed he was the man and started getting points on the board. Regardless of all the issues, Jay Gruden is signed through 2020. With two years left, it might be time for Washington to save face and deflect blame from Dan Snyder and the front office by firing Gruden. It’s a mistake, this season is not Gruden’s fault, especially when he lost his starting quarterback while ahead in the division. But he’s not handling himself well in press conferences and someone will have to go down.For those thinking team president Bruce Allen may be the scapegoat can get that out of your minds Ronnie Lott Color Rush Jersey , he’s not going anywhere either. Who should get fired: Bruce Allen and Dan SnyderWho will get fired: Jay GrudenNew York GiantsPat Shurmur is having the worst year of his life for his first season as Giants head coach and while he may or may not be a good coach, Eli Manning is definitely the one holding the team back. Ben McAdoo has to be laughing his head off, because he’s the one who had the gall to bench Manning in 2017 and lost his job for it. Now, to be fair, it wasn’t what McAdoo did, but how he did it. The Giants will need a new quarterback and from there, other things can fall into play. Given that it’s Shurmur’s first season, don’t expect much turnover. Do expect, however, the Giants to orchestrating a trade with someone to get their quarterback of the future in 2019. General Manager Dave Gettleman is also going to get a pass with it being his first season as GM. Who should/will get fired: NobodyPhiladelphia EaglesLet’s be frank, the Eagles won the Super Bowl. Unless they won zero games the following year, there’s no way they would put this coaching staff under the microscope. That said, their season is a bit disappointing with them sitting at .500 as of this writing. The division is still up for grabs and they still have that Super Bowl win hanging over them. All is well here. Who should/will get fired: NobodyDallas CowboysThe Cowboys win the award for manic/depressive team of the year. Sometimes you think head coach Jason Garrett will get canned and then something comes out to prove otherwise. One thing to remember is while Jerry Jones is giving Garrett the votes of confidence in interviews, he’s done this several times before and whacked his coach before the season ends. I think some of us may remember the Wade Phillips firing fiasco years ago. Despite the trend https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Jerry-Rice-Jersey , the Cowboys are in the lead of the NFC East right now and given that they just beat the Philadelphia Eagles to tighten their grip, they very well could be representing in the playoffs. Washington isn’t going anywhere and the Giants are an accident waiting to happen. Garret could still get canned, but it’s doubtful. The big question is how many of these season with playoff limps and non-appearances the Cowboys can take. There’s no consistency or a sign of a team that can beat the big boys, and they’ve had Garrett for how long? It should be time for a change, but if they make the playoffs, it’s not happening.

Well, drafting a punter makes me happy. Spending a fourth round pick on the position? It raises some question marks.Any time a special teams player is draft before the sixth round, eyebrows are raised. When it happens in the fourth round, there are usually strong responses. The 49ers needed a punter, so you can’t fault filling said need. But could they have landed Wishnowsky later?In the phone call to Wishnowsky, head coach Kyle Shanahan told him they were worried they would not be able to land him. He did not offer any more specifics, but it would suggest they thought someone else was interested in Wishnowsky in the fourth. The 49ers spent the 110th overall pick on Wishnowsky, and the next punter off the board was Stanford’s Jake Bailey to the New England Patriots at No. 163.The Patriots sent a seventh to the Philadelphia Eagles to move up four spots to land Bailey. After the draft, John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan both acknowledged the Patriots and others were likely interested.Lynch: “We had a number of teams that we felt were interested in adding a punter and felt like he had distanced himself, and the fact he kicks off and is a very good holder, as well. So, all those things fit into the puzzle.”Shanahan: “That’s a hard thing to figure out. Everyone knows he’s the best punter in the draft, and when is he going to go Richard Sherman Color Rush Jersey , and you always want to take that as late as possible, so you feel the same way going in the fourth. You’d love to do it in the seventh, but I promise you we wouldn’t have gotten him if we tried to do it in the fifth. That’s why the Patriots traded up to take next guy in the fifth.”Lynch said the team loved what Wishnowsky brought to the table, and easily led the field as the prospect they wanted.This raises another question. Is the punter position sufficiently valuable enough that you need to invest a fourth round pick in the best player if you think he is that much better. He has gotten some comps Seattle Seahawks All Pro punter Michael Dickson. If Wishnowsky proved to be as good as Dickson, is he worth the pick? Or is the drop-off to Bailey or another worth spending that fourth on another need?A great punter is valuable in flipping field position, but fourth round value? The 49ers were 18th in total points, and if the offense improves, they very well could slide further down the list. Fewer points ideally further decreases that value.You know I love a great punter as much as anybody, but I won’t pretend spending high picks on a punter is not a bit of a head scratcher. And when you add in the context of the 49ers history the past two years, it raises questions. Oscar Aparicio offered a solid take on overpaying.The 49ers decision to draft a punter in the fourth round is not exactly an outlier in their decision-making. They’ve spent big on positions that traditionally are not invested as such. You can make individual arguments for each decision, but until the team actually starts winning some football games, the totality of the decisions will keep us scratching our heads in the short term.This could pan out where the 49ers have one of the best punters in the league for the next decade — and I’d love to see that. But it is reasonable to raise questions about the decision-making process.
