Martin Wallace ... step right up?

someone show me factual evidence where we have missed the boat on a acceptably priced FA LT?

this evidence also needs to explain who where said money would come from.

 

 

Not reaching or overpaying a FA doesnt mean the organization isn't taking a position seriously.

Think he's talking about Collins.

 

And on that note, all 31 other teams didn't draft him even as late as the 7th round so clearly no team wanted to risk it. He chose the Cowboys over us; there are no indications that we didn't pursue him.

see i completely misread that and thought he was being sarcastic.  oh well.

the collins thing was just a very strange situation.  highly talented first round prospect who was going to wind up playing on a very cheap contract somewhere because every team would be coming at him with roughly similar offers.  one team was going to land him and surprise it wasn't us so that clearly means we didn't try and jerry richardson shut it down i guess.

Instead of paying Greg hardy out the rear end we could have maybe tried for some kind of OT last year I'm on vacation right now so names escape me but money was there we just wasted it

When we decided to pay Hardy I am sure it was with the thought of him playing the entire season.

I am not convinced an Anthony Collins type of FA acquisition would have resulted in more wins than an available Greg Hardy.

    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
