Did we get a pick for a player that wanted out?
did you read the post I was responding to or just the one you responded to?
I literally said in the post that Gilmore wanted out and Ballard made it work for both parties. I was telling Shute good luck getting vets in the future with the mentality of “who cares what they want.”
Good luck getting any veteran players on 1-2 year deals going forward with that mentality. He wanted out and I would say more specifically wanted to go to the cowboys, so they made it work for both parties. Buckner thought about it too and Ballard talked him into staying.
frustrating watching Gilmore play at such a high level for the cowboys. He would have undoubtedly made this team much better. But it was his decision to want out and Ballard respected it. It wasn’t the pick we received (used it on Hull) but coming up empty handed with the Rush pick was even more disappointing to me. I think the defensive secondary can improve dramatically, but it’s going to be a process and one that Ballard no doubt will continue to address going forward.
I think we do regardless. We can’t lose to the 3 afc north teams vying for the 3 wildcard spots. Just not going to work out for us. Have to beat the Steelers.
Never gave ourselves a chance out of half. Didn’t play well the entire game, but the 3rd quarter was brutal. Mistakes throughout the entire game. Missed kick/extra point, penalty on fieldgoal that led to a touchdown, muffed punts, massive big plays throughout the game. Tough loss. Learn from it and regroup. Saturday is now the game of the year.
