I meant to type more my bad….

first and main reason we’re probably trying to add him his pff scores are high very high. Being that we value that much more nowadays I know he’s on our radar. His run stopping grades were like the highest of all LBs. That would have given us top graded plates at all three levels Brown then Pratt with   JC and Moehrig were definitely stopping the run this year with these monsters fully healthy. I hope we dangling some of that Clowney money at him we need him to solidify our defense.

add in the NC ties and we should be in play got his services

I'm not expecting it to happen, but we definitely need an upgrade at LB.  He fits the bill for sure

I have heard he did not do so well last season and the Bengals fans were happy to be rid of him for what it's worth.  Said he looked slow.

I don't think it is so much how he played as that they are cash strapped with the current roster. See, Hendrickson, Trey.

Well, he would immediately be the best LB on the roster. 

Buuuut....he really doesn't fit the profile of what we seem to be doing. We are avoiding these older players and seem to be very attached to a youth movement.

While true, he still only just turned 29 and he'd be replacing either Jewell or Rozeboom who are 30 and 28 respectively.  I don't see his age stopping interest on our end if they think he can be a big enough of an upgrade for us

Zero chance he's coming to this franchise right now, regardless of local ties. 

We are at least two years away from being remotely desirable for free agents and cut casualties.

But fun to play what if ...

We signed higher profile players than this already.

      So...Those 2 Point Conversions

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I can understand the logic. Going for 2 made sense the first time considering how far down we were. Then you don't get it and are basically forced to go for it the second time, too. Way down the list of concerns we have, IMO.

      Rozeboom needs to get better before he's a JAG.

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      The successful teams in the NFL right now have one thing in common: Patience. Not just with their QB, but with every facet of the program. There are going to be successes and failures, but no one panics and makes reactive decisions. Look at the Eagles, the Bills, the Ravens, the Packers, and hell, even the (newly successful) Lions. All of them showed patience with their QB's growth, let their coaches do their jobs, have drafted well, developed their own players, and plugged holes in their roster and organization with players and situations that made sense. That's what we need. And if that isn't what we have now, we need to make moves to get it there. If that means they need to blow it up to start over, then blow it up and start it over the right way. If that means to change their approach from top to bottom, change it now. But the blueprint of success is out there in the league, teams just think they know better, or they don't have the discipline to follow through.
