Trade or wait for cuts?

What would you do if you were Hurney? Time is running out. I don't feel like we are going to make a trade once the season starts and teams have their rosters set. Right now they might make a trade because they can get something out of it and live with a guy that they might otherwise be forced to cut.

My big issue with it is that I don't think that we are going to get anyone even remotely close to Kemo's ability to stop the run if we wait for cuts. The guys that get cut IMO are not going to be starting caliber NTs.

Lots of 295-310LB DT's being released today...

I know but are they going to be good enough to get our run defense back to where it was with Kemo?

We also have to consider that Kemo was injured for the end of last season too. He is a huge person and maybe his body isn't going to be what it once was after this injury.

Wellllllll, since we have gotten into the habit of trading draft picks, and we have literally no cap room, I think that we will have to pick up a cast off.

The problem is, some of the better ones will choose to go somewhere where they can make some money, sadly, we don't have any.

what if they were given a back end loaded contract?

Wouldn't it be silly to agree to one of these since most likely one would not see the heavy pay year(s) due to getting cut or replaced?

I'm not very knowledgeable on how the contract stuff works so just curious.

No decent DT is going to agree to one, as they may only be a stop gap until Kemo is back next season.

We need a good DT, not just a big body. Everyone saw what happens when we don't have a 2 gap player in the lineup, last season.

We are in a bind big time.

It goes back to drafting.

i was thinking like a 2, maybe 3, year contract. player makes a minimum now. if he does well and we ask him to return he gets an increase, and then the same for a possible 3rd year.

edit: i'm talking about those that get cut. not ones for trade

Makes more sense that way, but I would think we'd be hard pressed to find someone of quality with a condition like that. No?

I think we are going to wait. I would love to bring in Williams but I think we will wait. I honestly don't think a defensive tackle is going to solve much. It may help a little in the run game but whoever it is probably will get pulled off the field in passing situations (unles we trade for Williams). This defense is just lost right now and they need to find some identity. The Broncos were fired up and jumping around last night and I haven't seen our defense do that at all this preseason, except on the Brayton sack which was the best play from the defense all preseason.

I hear ya, and that would be great, but not gonna happen.

You can certainly get a scrub to agree to that, but not a decent talent. And we need more than just a decent talent to keep OL off of our SUPER expensive LB corps.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
