Hurney on WFNZ today discusses CB situation


CatMan72

Recommended Posts

Hurney was interviewed on WFNZ today and asked some direct questions about our CB situation, here is my summary of what was said:

- We like what we've got at CB right now, but we're keeping our eyes open.

- Are we interested in Asante Samuel? Sounds like the answer is no, talks about how we're close to the cap and now we need to "pick our spots" (Samuel is too expensive).

From what I've seen/heard, RJ Stanford seems to be performing well in camp so maybe we're projecting him as our nickelback with Capt. and Gamble on the edges?

My concern is what happens if either Capt. or Gamble go down with an injury...

are Gamble/Capt better than the duo we had in 2003?

maybe Rivera will make up for what we lack in the back w/ pressure?

in 2003 our division wasn't a power house like it is now. Captain will not be able to cover Julio Jones/White. He won't be able to cover Colston or Mike Williams either

Yeah, the Jones/White vs. Gamble/Capt matchup doesn't sound good.

It's possible that we're bluffing on the Samuel situation to see if the price drops... Eagles have too many cooks in the kitchen right now and Samuel is already getting nippy about it (his interview the other day).

I felt pretty certain we were going to sign Carlos Rodgers... now I'm not sure what to think.

    • I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.
    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
