AKB

still no news? I woke up today and thought.. hmm, we might have Sneed news. NOPE

ballard was super patient hiring steichen, lets hope he is patient in this scenario too and doesn't overpay for a guy that just peaked,.

if it comes down to overpaying him, probably a good idea that we don't. I'm fine with taking a corner in the draft or signing a bridge CB to supplement the youth in the room. I don't wanna see Jones just given the outside CB spot like it's his to lose. I want him to have strong competition for his spot. If we can at least do that, there should be an improvement. some people have said Dallis Flowers is that guy, but we still have to see how the players coming back from injury will perform, and when they will be able to perform.

i guess, because he had 1 rush 1 reception ill add that I do like hull, as a backup to taylor. good screen back, lots of exp running out of the gun, good for what we are doing hopefully we can get him on the field this season

meh

are we missing a gadget guy for the offense?

as a fellow, strong, Colt fan; Can I have the remainder 10%?

anything new happen or we still in the waiting room

I don't see us drafting a tackle early. the only way that makes sense is if you kick Smith to RG, and if they were gonna do that they should've done it years ago

feels like im stuck in a loading screen. can't wait for the Sneed situation to be settled

dont think so.

i dont really hate any teams but the closest one is probably the steelers

even if we don't get sneed it's not the end of the world. I would be fine with Mitchell at 15

Blackmon and Sneed would round out this FA very well. That would give us so many options in draft.

id be just as content drafting a 7th round center

i think they let russ play this year and they draft someone too to sit a year

we need to?

so we will almost be guaranteed to do some restructuring if we do get a big name guy ?

depends on the contract situation. you saw the Higgins situation with Cincinnati, sometimes it comes down to the cap. now of course Pierce is nowhere near that level yet, but theoretically, that's where people want our 2 to be, at about a higgins level. so if he does get there, it could come down to a numbers game my philosophy is if you know you can't resign a player, get the trade value you can, unless their on-field value makes more sense at the time, like maybe for a playoff push if trading hurts you but sometimes taking BPA it comes down to adding value to the player and trading them out. like later QBs are a good example of this, Howell being the most recent. We spent a 2nd rounder on Pierce, so you're most likely correct in that the best chance we have at getting a ROI is to let him play, and hope he can be a good outside WR to match with our slot guy, and our WR1 in pittman

you're not wrong. if we are gonna trade pierce it should be after he has better stats we cannot afford jefferson, realistically. the only way we could maybe do it is by trading pittman, plus another B range player, and probably still a first rounder included

on film,. pierce gets open. it'll be interesting to see what a more accurate deep passer will do for pierce and his numbers

yes, i agree, because that middle third safety should always be over top giving them the corner the ability to shade to give us the advantage. there were quite a few plays where opposing offenses abused the technique our corners played in to throw inside the grain of whichever direction they shaded. this also goes hand in hand with the pressure rate vs blitz that I think people don't necessarily take to mind. the pressure rate is low because we send 4, so the sack percentage and pressure rate aren't positively correlated due to our sacks just being successful pressures that converted to sacks. But when we don't get the pressure, our corners and their shade get exposed. The technique the corners play within this system is predictable. So you need sound, responsible, disciplined players in this system. You almost have to play mistake-free and you are essentially waiting for the offensive mistake.

its just odd how quick he fell off. doesn't seem like his responsibilities changed much, I mean they had him in deep middle third. football 101 says be the deepst man on the field when playing middle third. I just don't know why he fell off so bad. He has the physical traits, and should have a good mind on him.

hopefully ballard doesn't make the same mistake with Jones. also, a 7th rounder
