wilson and hairston have stunk this year, needs work is the under statement of the day. neither looks like a good fit for zone coverage mack and walker are decent but inconsistent. both would be backups on good teams imo

im not worried about john lynch and the 49ers though. the colts have a need a WR and gordon would be a perfect compliment to ty worth the risk for a 6th round pick, and there was a real GM that felt that way too

gordon was worth the risk for us. he would have only cost a 6th round pick if he didnt pan out there is considerable value just in keeping him away from NE too i have always said he is not a locker room cancer either, listen to his team mates... they like him

its cheaper because of zone corners, which has of course been covered already. i think the gap can narrow though if we are not able to fill the dline through the draft, which so far we have not a run stopping safety like john lynch or bob sanders would be a good addition too. i may be be entirety wrong about this but those types of players seem to be getting rare these days

ill echo the others and say its intended to be a cheaper defenses that bends but hopefully doesnt break. when the buccaneers made this scheme look really good they had hall of fame talent on all three levels. i dont think john lynch was first ballot but he will probably get in when you have that much talent you can make any scheme look good

all but hooker and mack should have to compete for roster spots next year imo walker had some really good tape this year, but there is a lot of bad in there now too. hes probably safe on the team, but could lose the starting job

funny you bring that up. im interviewing with a firm now, and that will probably be somewhat true at some point there may indeed be locker room issues in Pittsburgh, and their coach doesnt seem very good at controlling them, but i doubt it would follow him to his next team. he has to agree to a contract and then show up to play and earn it. the franchise tag is a mess imo

torn hip labrum in college. played through it because they were a contender i believe he had it worked on at some point, but hes had lingering issues since before he ever got here

we will see. a hip injury that lingers for two years isnt a good sign

they need to make some smart decisions in the off season to maximize the rest of his career. hes 35 in December, and the team around him is nothing special including the coaches

his hip has been and issue for a while, it might not be crazy to shut him down for the season if it doesnt get right soon

thats kind of my point. what they think of him doesnt really matter if hes not being an * in the locker room and around the team. i was told by many people on here that gordon might be a locker room problem, but that does not fit what i saw from his team mates in both cleveland and new england. they actually seem to like him a lot as for bell i dont see why those contract issues will be a problem in the locker room if he were to come here. he produced at a high level, which gives him the right to ask for more money

i doubt they talk about contracts in the locker room, and i doubt his team mates care if he smokes weed either i think the locker room stuff is over blown, the same was said about josh gordon by fans, yet his teammates in NE and Cleveland seemed to like him just fine. the real locker room cancers are guys like Owens, and people that are jerks to their own team imo

not really. is he horrible to be around in the locker room?

why isnt he a locker room fit?
