Houston trades Ryans for a fourth round draft pick to Philadelphia who is in desperate need for a MLB. Initial articles think Philly got the best end of the deal. If so then why was Houston willing to part with a probowler for a 4th round pick? Was it scheme give the Texans run a 3-4 and the Eagles run a 4-3? Was it that they don't want to wait for Ryans to come back totally from achilles surgery with his production dropping off precipitously after the rehab and scheme change?? He was primarily used as a 2 down back last year. Was the 5.9 million contract that big a deal when he wouldn't take a paycut? A combination of the 3 or what?

What happens if the same kind of production fall happens to Beason particularly if Rivera starts using the 3-4 more.

One bleacher report article thinks that this might negatively impact Kuechly going high in the draft since Philly is where many folks have pegged him at 15. Yeah it is bleacher report but it was a fan opinion and this is a fan messageboard.

I know I am giving ammunition to the anti-Kuechly folks but that is just the kind of guy I am. Besides I can always say it was bleacher report, LOL.

DIscuss.

Everything I've seen says it was mainly a scheme issue and some cap relief... Ryans had his worse year (stat wise) last year after they switched to a 3-4...

It was also the first year back from Achilles Surgery. Takeo Spikes has made it most of the way back but it took him 3 years and different teams before he returned to 90% of his old self.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
