price matters.  So does not being one dimensional.  

We actually generated decent pressure last season too.   Didn’t always equal sacks but the pressure numbers were good.   Burns generates pressure.  But Burns being so one dimensional matters too.  Especially when we look at what to do with him later. 

I agree about Reddick 100% and I do not understand the infatuation our fans have with him. Our defense will not function well against the run with him and Burns on the field in their current states. Teams will chip with a rb who usually releases afterwards and then leave in a TE for clean up duty on one of Reddick or Burns; usually switching it up on who it's done on to avoid becoming predictable. This hurts greatly. The difference is that one is 23 years old and Burns will likely improve if we get an nfl caliber staff in here before his rookie deal is up.

Keeping both is redundant and we don't have the money to do so anyway. We have essentially 20million dollars this offseaso not accounting for the draft and Reddick would command a large chunk of those leaving us with little to no money left to resign anyone else with. Let YGM step up in his place. I have a feeling that one of Fatt's parting gifts will be a Reddick megadeal that leaves us capstrapped and unable to sign anyone else this coming offseason... that's before we reach on a QB at 6.

Now that is funny 😂 laying down with Last to Know Joe 🤦‍♂️

You specifically cited "20 sources", name one 🧐

again, if you want to claim a long time reporter is lying about the 20 guys inside have at it. 

and again, I assume all the Jags reporters were lying too. 
 

everyone that is being intellectually honest knows players can’t put their names on the complaints.  Arguing they can is just nonsensical.

This is a game that win or lose doesn’t really matter in terms of draft position.  A win Sunday, I think, would be huge for this team.  Rhule is back…good…lets go kick Tampas ass on the road.  Gotta stop this bullshet losing streak 

If Rhule prefers his boy Sam over Cam yet again, I hope you have alternate plans.

There is absolutely nothing redundant with keeping two pass rushers like Burns and Reddick.  Jesus, people do not understand positional value

I'm generally looking for discussion.

Pretty clear what you're doing is looking for attention.

I am posting about my thoughts about this team.  I am not a herd person like you.  Sorry to disappoint

Where are you getting "20 guys" from? 

Oh yeah, you dreamed it 😂

It’s about cost.  You can’t over invest in guys who are only pass rushers.   Means teams with well built OLs will bully you.

Positional value isn't particularly hard to understand. Unfortunately, a lot of people put it on a pedestal over all else regardless of what's going on on the field. Are you suggesting that we should keep Reddick at probably at least 15m per season solely because he plays EDGE? That might make sense in a 3-4 base with big interior linemen but that's not what defense we run. Our DEs get pushed so far to the outside that it leaves big holes open inside and it's a fundamental issue with our defense that teams have caught on to. It's the main reason our run D sucks. 

It's a balancing act and we simply don't have the cap space to tie up into Reddick given what we're seeing on the field as of late.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
