Brad Holmes, the Los Angeles Rams director of college scouting, is currently in Detroit meeting with the Lions front office for his second interview for the team s general manager vacancy.
According to many, Holmes has been stellar in his draft evaluations, as the Rams have enjoyed success in both the regular season and playoffs the past few seasons. Ozzie Newsome is a dear friend of mine, a good, good friend of mine, former Ravens running backs coach Wilbert Montgomery told the Detroit Free Press. Ozzie and I go all the way back to high school and I had the pleasure of working with Ozzie Newsome in Baltimore. I would say right now (Holmes) is very, very much a young Ozzie Newsome at this point in his career.

The Dallas Cowboys missed the playoffs this season and a large reason why was the performance of their defense. Week in and week out it seemed like opposing offenses put up record performances against the Cowboys and as a result the organization moved on from defensive coordinator Mike Nolan last week.
Dallas wasted no time getting to work on finding a replacement and were connected to a number of people, some of whom had previous experience with head coach Mike McCarthy. Ultimately, the Cowboys found their man and it is someone who was on the other side of their most thrilling victory to date under McCarthy.
