Opinions: need a stout vet on other side of Ealy

Gettleman said at the combine that whether we were $16M under or $25M over the cap, the way he does business isn't changing. We can want for a big name, but we're going to end up with a Dwan Edwards type signing at DE if Johnson decides that he's better off somewhere else. To me, that screams Hayes as a target for us.

Here are a few things that are related--

The really like Miley as a developmental player--he has RDE tools.  I think they like Cox and Delaire as well.  Addison has a spot.  My point is this--if you sign a free agent and draft a player, you are going to have to get rid of some developmental talent or a seasoned veteran like Addison. 

I have no idea who they might sign and who they might draft, but I can say it looks to me as if it will be one or the other.

About Coples--He was released by the Dolphins after five games or so.  Cameron Wake is 34 and coming off an achilles injury.  Derrick Shelby is a free agent. 

And they released Coples.

Do any of you Coples fans know why a 4-3 team with such a need would release him?  Was it salary based?

Um.. Coples was Cut from the jets.. A 3-4 based defense. He was essentially playing a standing 3-4 OLB.  He's best suited for a 4-3 DE..  

 

 

Edit: eh, never mind. He was with the Dolphins.  He didn't do much there either.

Of the available vets, I could see Chris Long being the most likely guy to come to town. Has something to prove, would be the cheapest option of those available, still has gas left in the tank. 

The money we saved with Johnson is going to KK no doubt. 

I think Long will go to NY. Spags coached him in STL. 

I think CAR as far as big name, JPP on a one year prove it deal.

So should I do a Google search for you and post a link about how editing works and the realization of a mistake and making such public is okay? 

Um----why type UM?  A; To be sarcastic and condescending.  Before you type "Um" while correcting another person, you should make sure that you are right.  Google is a way to verify the validity of the information you are questioning.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
