The only other thing i want in this draft (other than offensive play makers) is an edge rusher to either put on the other side or replace him if we don't keep him.

We can get a good one with our first or second pick and still load up in offensive play makers.

Well, honestly, he was right about Norman’s worth. He never can close to 2015’s career year and he certainly wasn’t worth the money the Redskins gave him. You would have hoped we could have gotten more value via trade, but no one in Washington was happy with that signing when it was over.

The way it was handled was the worst possible option on the table. We were coming off a Super Bowl run. We approached FA like Norman would be here. We tagged him leading the locker room to believe he'd be here. Then we yank the tag because Gettleman was more interested in winning dick measuring contests than he was in assembling a football team. That forced us to spam picks at CB just to field a secondary and sent the entire locker room in a tailspin of WTF just happened???

Yeah. Have to concede that to Dave, especially with hindsight in play. In isolation. 

In the big picture he - Gettleman - fuged us hard in the secondary around all of that. It is kind of coming back to me a little, aarrgghh.

If I am remembering correctly it was a clear example of his enormous ego.

We need to get past Burns so that we can get deals done with our other free agents

Yes that's the other side to this. Really you want to know what you're doing with Burns before free agency. It would be foolish to tag him not knowing if you're going to trade, extend him or let him play under the tag. Before you know it you get to training camp and have no new pass rusher and Burns holding out

      First OTA's Monday and Tuesday

      If you only look at measurables, Mingo and Legette might seem similar.  But when you actually look at them and watch them play, they aren't close to the same.   And this is coming from someone who is skeptical about Legette, although ultimately I believe he will work out.  I've just always disagreed with the comparisons to Mingo.   Mingo tests better than he plays/runs, whereas Legette plays/runs as well as he tests.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By Mage · Posted

      As bad as things were with the Panthers last year, we still had 4 other games outside of the 2 we won that we came very close to winning.  Could throw the Falcons game in there too, it was tied going into the 4th. I'm not really sure what to expect this year.  I don't think we'll make the playoffs.  However, we play in a very weak division where no team has a standout QB.  On paper, our OL should be good, and could be great if Ikem improves.  That alone could help mask a lot of problems on offense.  Should allow us to run the ball better.  Even if Bryce doesn't improve, the OL should at the very least give him more time to make the easy throws underneath and let a guy like Legette work his magic after the catch. And I think this defense in a 2nd year with Evero should, at the very least, be in the top 16.  I'm expecting our run defense to be as good as it has been in years. I think this team could push for 7-8 wins.  But it could also finish with 2 wins again.  That is just how the league works.  Jets offense was miserable last year, and yet they still won 7 games.   We won't really get a good feel of it until after the preseason, and even then, who knows.
