The guy has been a rock for us this year. By all accounts he was a huge presence in the locker room with his mentorship of the young guys in the secondary. But he's a free agent and there is a capable young safety behind him in Tre Boston who could be a starter next year. What do you do with Roman Harper?

Tre needs to play without committing multiple huge penalties before I can trust him as a starter.  Giving free yardage to that pathetic offense - or putting our pathetic offensive line any closer to our own end zone - was something we could not afford last night.

who knows if they were actually penalties since the only replays we saw were oher and remmers getting beat. I'm skeptical

Until last night, Boston hadn't ever committed a penalty. Your comment makes no sense.

For contrast and to see what a penalized player looks like, Teddy Williams and his penalties: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WillTe00/penalties/

I appreciate what Roman Harper brought to the team during his tenure, but I think Tre is ready for the full time gig next season. Harper's job was to get Tre and the young secondary ready for the NFL, and he did a great job at that. Hes too much of a liability now and Tre is too good for us to bring Roman back.

Sign the one day deal and retire a Saint.

They did show atleast the unsportsmanlike penalty, he slapped the ball out of the guys hand after the play.  Ticky tack, yes, but also a penalty.  As for the other penalties, it's no surprise they didn't show anything, didn't wanna show the NFL in a bad light after their blatant fug up on the first challenge.

Harper's best days are behind him and I don't know that Boston is the answer.  This has nothing to do with the Super Bowl either.  Harper was a liability in pass coverage all year.  However, he was a stopgap and the best option that we had.  Boston still looks like the same player from college ... for every good play there is one that leaves you scratching your head.  Don't like the attitude either. 

It is a necessary upgrade during the offseason and depending on how the situation with Josh works out, it may be our biggest need on defense ... followed closely by DE.

Officials played a major part, used to that though....sucks, can't let them determine a game 

Only way to do that is blow a team out. Not going to happen when your a freshman at the Superbowl. The Refs for what ever reason are destroying this league.

Sadly the NFL is becoming a big joke as NASCAR did. The fun is being sucked from the game and each year the refs get worse.

Funny a lot of people here was pissed off when he signed here.  Good mentor but on the field he was hit or miss.  But overall a good pickup. 

He seemed a lot more solid this year than last (although the stats don't necessarily support this). I say we keep him around if he want's to play (cheap). Worse case scenario, he can add depth and continue to be a mentor.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
