One of the things I took away from that video was Gettleman was really high on OBJ. At first he mentioned there was another guy they wanted and thought might be there but wasn't, I immediately thought OBJ.  Then he said multiple times OBJ was the only receiver in the draft that you have no worries about and ran the whole route tree in college.

There's a chance that we join Seattle as the only secondary that has starters at each position over six feet tall.

 

Hell, only nine of the players on the Panthers roster are under six fee tall.

 

Not to mention the fact that we don't have an offensive linemen that ways under 300 lbs.

 

Or the fact that there is only one receiver (Kealoha Pilares) on the roster that isn't at least six feet tall. Hell, even our slot receiver (Jason Avant) is six foot tall.

 

I'm starting to finally understand DG's philosophy... get bigger so you can beat the sh*t out of them.

Earl Thomas who is arguably the best member of the seahawks secondary is 5ft 10.

But other than that i agree

I'm not so sure... OBJ was not going to be there for us and I'm pretty sure he knew that.  He only said that he's the only receiver you have no worries about as a route runner. I'm fairly positive he believes that OBJ's ceiling is low and he has little room for improvement, whereas KB can keep improving and improving and has a higher upside. And I also believe that Gettleman really wanted size at WR, and a red zone target. I have a feeling the guy they wanted was Ju'Wuan James or one of the secondary prospects.

I love listening to DG say Yards.... "Yahds" lol its just entertaining.

 

These guys feel they've made the best choice possible, and I'm behind them!

 

Now, move'n on to the Oline I hope. But, who knows what the future holds...

He's applied the hog-mollie philosophy to all positions..

I was just looking at his signings over the off-season and every one of them is bigger than the average sized player for their position.

yep, he didn't sign one free agent under 6 ft.

      Give Legette another season?

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.

      Nah we just talking about giving a platform and normalizing predators (who both beat women) opinions and celebrating it if it fits your narrative.  If that's fun I'm fine being a miserable fug by not supporting P.O.S like that. N b4 you call me a libtard or some other dumb ish know I'm an Anarchist/Libertarian and believe both these dudes should get a complete ass whooping (at min) or something worse for what they have done to women in this world.
