What people are failing to grasp is that the "genius" Chip Kelly, and to some extent Sean Payton, are breaking the bank to rebuild their teams in a similar mould to ours. They are all going defense first, ground games. 

 

Yet our fanbase is shouting about herp derp receiver X and Y, when most other GMs and coaches are going the other way. 

 

I will be very surprised if we spend any more money this FA period. We have $13m cap left, 7m will be stored for changes that might be needed during the season and $4-5m will be saved for rookies.

That awkward moment when your defensively built team gives up a perfect passer rating and 3 touchdowns on 3rd down in a playoff game.

If you jump the gun too early you miss out on the bargin suprise veteran cuts...S Dashon Goldson rumored to be cut in Tampa, Jake Long, Etc.

These are the guys that could miss the second(still overpriced) wave of FA and will start to sign prove it deals that are cap friendly.

I Guess some on here still do not know we will have two huge extentions to make decisions on and that cap is being managed for three years from now, not just March 2015.

The other point to this is that we were able to sign many key contributors (Cole, Olsen, Dickson, Edwards, etc...) which is a stark contrast to last off season when we were unable to do so due to cap reasons. I think this is overlooked by the casual fan but in fact what we did is keep a core together and effectively maintain continuity. This is key IMO

Ok I'm sorry but why does everyone love Dickson so much around here? He had 178 red yds and 1 TD, what about him is so special? Because he's a blocker? I just do not understand what makes him so loved and why it was so imperative to sign him to a three year deal.

He spent a lot of last season blocking because the OL was so bad. Once we made some changes up front and the OL improved, he was able to get involved in the passing game more often. Which is why we began to notice him more at the end of the season. The team is counting on the improved OL play to continue, and for Dickson to be more of a receiving threat. With that said, he is a backup TE. If he gets 400-500 yards, that is solid. He had several teams calling for his services so don't pretend he has no value.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t remember Mills from the USFL days just when he was in NO.  But when you saw Smitty it screamed oh yeah, this guy has something. Immediately. So, have not seen anything that dramatic with Young. All I know about him says he is solid with his character and smarts and don’t see a lot of that translating into screaming he really has something. I think the people that say he could possibly acceptably run an offense designed around him, with top flight talent in support, are probably about right. But I can’t see any Pro Bowls or lofty accomplishments in my crystal ball.

      Goodbye chain gang?

      I thought I read they’d still be there but as a backup in case of malfunction.  So it’s not so much a goodbye as it is they’re being sidelined (I’ll see myself out)

      Their forecheck is relentless because they are so physical and heavy.  It’s just a perfect mashup for how they play. Florida before Paul Marice played just like us. Speed but with finesse.  Paul made them but into playing heavy. They went and got players that added to that style he wants and it works.  Plus they have the best goalie in the league.  That helps more than anything. The canes have got let Koochie be their guy he will never become the star that most think he will if rod keeps sticking with vets that flame out.    1. Koochie or a Soros type player  2. Switch to zone defense  3. Get heavier.    like I said, I love Rod. Best pro coach ever in the Carolinas sports buy he is holding us back with his philosophy and style.  He is the reason.  He can change all of that with decisions.
