Possible Safety Candidate In Free Agency


Moncrief

Recommended Posts

O.J. Atogwe because I don't feel like butchering his first name. He was just released by the Redskins and I think he would be a good pick up. Now he is 30 years old but I think he can be a good stop gap for the time being. If you want to know his statistics they are:

I liked Oshiomogho (awesome-wa) more than many did in his season here and would recommend him over our other departing safety. He really had a hard time with injuries, though, and was never at 100% when he did play. He'd definitely be worth a flier on the cheap so long as you have a backup plan.

Isnt there someone better on the market? Someone that wont break the bank but will be an upgrade?

I'd rather the Colts coaches coach up our draft picks. I do think Lefeged, in the 3-4 hybrid where safeties play pass coverage more, will fit better and the former secondary coach with the Ravens, is the Colts safeties coach now. I feel it will be Lefeged and Bethea manning the safety position come day one. Mike Newton had a very good year in the CFL too in pass coverage, so I hope he is a better fit this time around than his previous stint with the Colts in 2010.

We have to beef up our front seven so that we can play the run with our front seven, I think that will be the key to this whole scheme working great.

    • I think most important option is missing in the poll : No One.   I think it's a fairly average QB class that it's okay to not like anybody enough to draft him. There's no one QB that Wows you with their pocket passing Caliber or pure athletic traits or good combination of both. It's like a tweener class of all those abilities, having lop-sided combination of above said skills.    And, this poll, rather than forcing to pick one QB, needed that extra option to express staying away from this QB class.

    • If one were to understand that all teams defend with zones in very similar ways, and know that Gus plays man about 30% of the time which is just on the lower side of middle of the pack, so what then is the issue with "Gus".  Ballard/Dodds!  We ARE near the bottom in speed, intellect, experience, Talent, with Gus's back seven. Gus is forced to play soft with dem bums.   Ballard/Dodds have killed us with their many misses drafting DE's, Rock-Ya.   This draft, this 53 man + roster should be pivotal, heavily scrutinized by Ownership.
    • I voted Williams because of his talent and if Chicago doesn't pick him and he becomes great, they will go down as the team that had the guy and blew it again. I honestly am not sold on Williams being great though. My dark horse best QB is Penix.   My bust pick is McCarthy. He is Mac Jones. 
    • I do have recollection of it, read my posts above. I never Said you were wrong regarding what I posted but I never created a thread saying he was coming back. I am also sure it was before we signed Wentz when I said he was coming back - which you jumped all over. Time flies. I am not even sure why you started this nonsense? I got a head ache trying to find my old posts and posts I created to make sure I was sane.   Word of advice, you can take this how you want but quit starting stuff with people that is unnecessary. I say that as a friend because as a poster you are one of the best in here.   Calling me out is fine but over something I said 3 years ago is unexpected. I did say what you said but it wasn't last year.    I Need a drink and people wonder why I drink. I can't even come here and have fun to escape the real world. This place is a head ache.
