Ask Brett Tessler

Brett,

With a new coaching staff most likely coming in next year, do you think they will make Feeley the starter(since a 2nd round pick was spent on him) or do you think another veteran will be brought in or even spend the 1st round pick on a QB?

There's no way to answer those questions this early. There's still 14 weeks left in the season and a lot can happen in that time. Check back with me in a few months.
 
The play calling for the offense has been terrible. There are too few plays out of the shotgun, too many running plays up the middle, and almost no running plays to the outside.

I'm not even going to ask if there is a controversy within the organization about the playcalling because I know it's there(and I don't wanna get anyone in trouble).

My question is: How much longer will it take before the playcallers for the offense change the general offensive scheme due to the poor offensive performance?

Answer: Whenever Wanny is replaced.

They will not make a change in the offensive scheme during the season.

Just stock the fridge and get prepared for a long season.

Is it Fiedler's fault all 4 d-linemen were on him before you can say "feeley sucks"?
There's no way ANY quarterback could succeed under these circumstances. Not even Montana, Elway, or Marino in their primes.

Most coordinators and head coaches believe in their systems and aren't willing to change them during the season as it might not suit the personnel they have. For example, the Dolphins play a ball-control offense with bigger, physical receivers who would be less effective if they suddenly tried switching to a vertical passing attack.
 
Brett,

It's been bugging me for a while, so I thought you would be the ideal person to ask. With the Salary cap staying generally the same, and players pay going up, how are teams going to be able to survive with the cap. This offseason, D-Back, Q-Back, D-Line, and Runningback all got contracts that were the highest in NFL history. Bailey, Manning, Kearse, Portis. With money only going up, as I am sure that these contracts will be set standard for some of the premiere players in the league, will the salary cap go up a lot, or stay the same. Your opinion. Thanks for taking the time.

Brett-
 
Brett,

Brad Childress, I feel he would be our best choice for a coach in 05, what do you think of him?
 
Have you heard anything about the fins possibly being interested in Nick Saban if Wanny is fired after the season?
 
Are their any college QB's who are starting rise above the rest in terms of the draft?

The salary cap increases every year based on a combination of factors including the League's television deal, NFL Properties, team revenues, etc. Because we are one of two sports with a salary cap and the only sport with no cap exceptions (like the NBA has for teams re-signing their own free agents), NFL teams are forced to be much smarter in their spending. You asked how teams that consistently overpay manage to survive, and the answer is THEY DON'T. Just look at what's happened to the 49ers since they were forced to cut half their team a few years ago because of cap problems. Look at where the Titans and Bucs are today. Look at how the Dolphins struggled after Don Shula left because of lingering cap problems from signings like Eric Green and others. If there's one thing people should give Jimmy Johnson credit for, it's that he helped straighten out a serious cap mess and left the team on solid ground. The current front office has also been smart about not overpaying the wrong guys and mortgaging the team's future.

Hello Brett! I don't know if this has been asked of you yet, but what has been your most trying time as an agent?
For me, the most trying times aren't always related to football. Sometimes it's helping a player deal with the loss or illness of a parent (who I've also grown close to). It also tears me apart whenever one of my guys gets injured or released. Any agent can be there during the good times, but the best agents are the ones who are still there when the going gets tough.
