This sounds like a death nail for satellite dishes. I dig it.
-
Peterson was not good last year but maybe a prove it deals brings back his form. He had a lot of contract drama down here in AZ, change of scenery may be good for him. None of it matters if we have the same lousy pass rush. All-pros all over cant keep guys covered for 10-15 seconds.
-
My worry is that we were sold a lot of the same reasoning with Barr and with Stephon. In the end we didn't utilize either player in the way they claimed they would to make the payoff worth it.
-
Yeah, I could be for sure. He's a good player and being stout up front against the run is crucial to how Zimmer plays defense. I just hope he transitions to that new technique seamlessly and creates push. I guess I just hoped for more with the cap space we had.
-
DT is incredibly weak in this draft. Whereas OL is actually pretty strong. I hope that's the thinking.
-
His pressure rate is solid and he's very good against the run. But he's a run defense player, not a pass rush player, which isn't all bad considering how bad we were against the run last year. I'm just really sick of no pressure up the middle. Maybe Tomlinson and Pierce will surprise on that front, but I'm not real happy with it at the outset.
-
I don't love that signing either but he is an upgrade at least. They have whiffed on all their targets.
-
So much for Lawson....off to the Jets.
-
Agreed but I would prefer some kind of upside holding the clipboard.
-
Both sides of the ball or offensive line? If you mean both sides I'm guessing we agree: Guard Tackle/Guard (Depending on Cleveland) 3 technique DT Pass Rushing DE Safety Not in that order, but those seem like the holes to fill IMO. I'm hoping some of the picks they made like Lynch and Dye are key roleplayers, but you're right that they lack depth at LB, Safety, OL, WR, and QB.
-
I think they're going to make some big moves, I just don't think we could have bought our way to him agreeing. I do hope we land an OL with our first and sign at least one dude. But the defensive line certainly needs attention too, so if the big splash is Lawson I'm ok with that.
-
Thuney to KC. Not sure we were ever in that one.
-
I'd be shocked if they can compete with the big cap room teams like the Bengals and Jets for Thuney. I do hope we see a signing under that, but adding (hypothetically) Griffin and Lawson means they have no reason to do anything but take OL in round 1.
-
In case the dire state of offensive lineplay across the league had evaded you, I give you this: https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2021/03/121717/carolina-panthers-signing-former-ohio-state-offensive-lineman-pat-elflein-to-three-year-135-million-contract
-
So....Barr restructures for cap room in exchange for us voiding the last two years of his deal? That's....like a super duper double win right? I'm still trying to wrap my head around how those talks went where him voiding 30M is a win for him?
-
Dan, I'm basically at the point where any second contract for a RB is a bad move. Draft one in the 4th/5th round every other year or so and churn em out. Invest in the line instead.
-
Packers just foolishly paid Aaron Jones 12M a year. So at least we share in that stupidity with them.
-
I meant their FO and what their protection looked like,
-
Wow....did they miss the Super Bowl?
-
Check that...Barr is closer to 7-8. Stephen should be cut too. That would gave them, minus money for the draft class, probably 12 or so to play with. Bringing back Weatherly....ugh.
-
Cutting Smith would save us 9M, he has no dead money. Barr would save 5. Not a fan of outright losing Reiff. The guy had a good year and now means we still have two OL holes to fill.
-
Longwell and Gary Anderson. But, truth be told, the Vikings kickers aren't bad compared to the rest of the league statistically over the years. Just heart wrenching timing.....
-
I could be wrong, but wasn't this a tactic the NFL used just recently and caused a stir with guys like Rodgers versus the lunchpail NFL player? The NFL tried to create a wedge using that very issue. It makes a lot of sense if you aren't Rodgers or Dak or Mahomes.
-
I don't see how QB market ever becomes like the RB market. For one, RBs play from day one and usually very well. Two, they burn out much, much quicker. Three, high level play is much more replaceable. But, yeah, having an elite QB requires a GM and a system that can replace the other parts at cheaper prices. Still, I think the days where you can win without elite QB play are gone. You either have one and you're in the mix or you're not in the mix.
-
Signing in late February certainly indicates there wasnt a rush to sign him. It's also safe to assume in a year with a more normal bidding season and less financial uncertainty could have led to more money. 12M AAV seems like a Buxton floor. I dont see any reason he would ink a deal for a penny less than that.
