As far as the NFCS … I think this division will be hotly contested the next couple of years. I am tending to pay more respect to both Atlanta and the Saints n terms of how strong they will be moving forward, than not. I am mixed on Ryan but think they have a decent roster to start with. I don’t think he blundered hiring Stefanski. And that offense can be dangerous with a QB. Plus, defense is arrow up. No 1st round pick, WB issues will dull their effectiveness. Question is, to what degree? I think Moore is going to be a good HC and can overcome tape that people have on Shough. They need a lot but they were playing with people. Just the way you want to see all the way to the end. Not sure about Tampa they have Mayfield but I don’t think they can maintain their success and Bowles is not going to last much longer. They have to go through all that. Gonna be tough once it starts. Might already have started. For us I feel pretty good about Morgan. But less so about our offense, we have some short term RB and OL issues and those things are critical given what we are working with at QB. Overall, mixed. Like a lot of what I see but some major question marks remain.

Lol no ma’am. I don’t really know the players at this point but have done some reading. That draft wouldn’t make me shoot myself. We gotta do something about LOT though.

That’s a Buffalo curse. Like 4 straight SBs. No wins. We can’t get two in a row.. that’s ours.

Yeah the rules are not kind to the trading away team. poo load comes due immediately. All pro rated bonus money for one thing.

I’d cut somebody else because I like A’Shawn as a player. No issue with getting straight at LB and beefing up the front.

Wonder if he even knows. Yeah he should. Ocho could help his mind I think.

Smitty was a 3rd rounder. I’m not really saying draft one high at all, 3rd being higher than I have in mind for this year. I am completely with the people that say ‘enough’ high picks on “weapons for Bryce”. Enough of that. Don’t want a weapon drafted early, Yet Again. For that matter I wish we weren’t forced to address LOT because I want linebackers and big guys. And OL depth in the mid to late rounds. Maybe some late insurance at RB. A QB if the right one is begging for us to snap him up. But looking at the WR room and believing Moore is sort of redundant or maybe even not a great fit, and then just recalling the numerous calls for a burner, I was only really saying what I think would be the best type of addition.

Damn, somehow this ended up in the wrong thread. Sorry.

I don’t see what would make him so good with Bryce to be honest, that we aren’t covering now with Tet and Coker. We need a Smitty type. Easier said than done but those smoke screens and stuff, with two Moose types for people to worry about, seems better to me. A little guy with supreme quickness, that will fight for a ball thrown to him. Smitty was a very rare specimen. But try and get close. I think looking for straight up speed to go downfield, can’t really use it with Bryce. I feel like a speed demon would just outrun Bryce’s ball and have to coast on his deep routes to stay within range. You need a QB that will launch it 50-60 yards so he can turn on the afterburners and go.

I didn’t remember that. But extending the opportunity is the goal. If people reject the opportunity, that shouldn’t really be on the team. Now I can also see how that could be gamed by sending them to people you know aren’t interested, but they game it now from the other direction with interviewing people when they already have their minds made up as to who they want. Sending the invites to people no one has ever heard of, lower level guys not coordinators, that just seems like a front too. In the ultra rare ‘never happened before’ situation that just somehow happened, there could be a provision in place. Pretty simple to do I would think. After this discussion I would laugh pretty hard if it ever did happen.

He may have wanted out but it wasn’t anywhere but here. Felt like once SF was possible it was 100% leave. He was never my favorite player to be honest. I didn’t care that much. I am 100% anti RBs before the 3rd anyway. Don’t care how good they are. Get the OL right and there are 20 backs a year or more coming out that can produce for you. I wanted Kamara later. Like, 3rd or 4th and he went in the 3rd. Pretty sure. Unless I’m mistaken he out produced CMC that first season and had excellent production for his entire rookie deal. Now with junior at QB, CMC would probably have torn it up. With Cam you didn’t need that.

Don’t know if it’s to that level yet but is definitely concerning. We have no word on how Horn is doing either. Hard to be an optimist around that. Seems like they become more frequent and pretty soon you are not long for the field of play.

Sounds like a plan to me.

And you yours.

Sending out legit requests really ought to suffice.
