Someday, hopefully in the near future, we at Finheaven won't have to talk about quarterbacks. At least not in the sense that the team needs one. Until then, I understand why that dominates the site. But, here is a non-quarterback post. Some random thoughts closing in on super bowl week.

The Bellichick Coaching Tree
It used to be that Bill Bellichick assistant coaches didn't fare well as head coach. This season is definitely different. Mike Vrabel has done a great job with Tennessee, while Bill O'Brien got Houston to the playoffs. Brian Flores, meanwhile, had a very promising first year in Miami. Matt Patricia lost a lot of close games in Detroit, but he has to be on the hot seat next year if he doesn't produce a winning season.

MLB versus NFL
Apparently MLB takes cheating more seriously than the NFL. Already three managers and one GM have been fired. Can you imagine Robert Kraft firing Bill Billichick? Will be interesting to see what else MLB does compared to the NFL with the recent Patriots cheating scandal.

The Draft and Free Agency
I promised no quarterback talk! In watching SF play quite a few times this year, the importance of building the trenches can't be underestimated. The 49ers probably have the best defensive line in the game with Buckner, Bosa, Armstead and Ford. Their offensive line is very good as well. Miami should use free agency and the draft primarily on building the lines and that other position that we won't talk about.
 
MLB came down on the Astros; something Goodell didn't do in the 1st place with New England many years ago. Baseball got it right and Hammered Houston. I'd like to see Hoodell (Goodell sarcasm) grow a pair of Brass Ballz for once in his life and destroy New England for what was resently discovered. How many times does that organization have to do something before someone stands up for the rest of the league. Is Kraft a Mob Boss or something?

Even if you throw out deflate gate, this is two times that the Patriots have illegally filmed another team. Obviously, the penalty should be really steep this time.

Not only does it look bad for the NFL, but fans rightfully wonder about the legitimacy of the game.

Its enough to deal with bad officiating, but when you throw in cheating and very little is done about it, there's a problem.

I agree. League wide fans will certainly be really upset, if Hoodell, slaps the Patriots on the wrist, once again, with minimal penalties. What I love about MLB's actions was the ripple affect it had on teams around the league. They took action against those people, who were either directly involved or had knowledge of what was going on. I hope to see something much stronger this time against New England.
 
Strengthening the trenches is very important for Miami, this upcoming offseason. The coaching was good enough to win 5 games with terrible offensive line play and subpar run defense. That's needs to be corrected. Imagine what could happen with a coach like Flores with these 2 flaws corrected?
 
I bet that if Belicheck's coaching tree sprouted a few good QB's, they'd be fruitful.

Vrabel never coached in NE. He was a player there. ;)
