Without Dwan, DT is the biggest need, with him I think DB is. We saw what we were like without the Edwards already and it wasn't pretty. I've been wanting a nice oline or DB, but the more I think about it a DT is really what this team needs bad. I'd hate to see Luke's talents used up trying to plug holes, watching the run - instead of covering who needs it. DT, Oline, DB/WR. (right thread!)

The reason we aren't offering him more than 2 years IMO is that he is 32, had spine injury history and had one of his best years last year. Not a certainty he'll be as effective next year or in the 2nd year.

1 year deal is fine.

I would increase the deal to 2.5 m, at most, if he doesn't bite just move on.

I would like to have Dwan back but there are other options still available in FA and history doesn't suggest that he'll put up the same numbers that he did in 2012 (never had more than 2.5 in a season up until last year).

If we're gonna bring in an over 30 rush DT on a 1-year deal, I'd almost prefer to go with Richard Seymour. He's a little older but has been much more productive throughout his career, including in Oakland.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Icege · Posted

      At the moment? Absolutely not. Maybe if they drop the next three in a row and go into the deadline at 3-6 I can see an argument to be made to move Rico as he's on a 1yr deal. I'd rather keep Chuba's contract though and roll with ETN + JB next season. The team will have plenty of time to see how JB is looking going into the offseason a year-plus after his surgery to know whether or not they need to plan for another direction.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By Icege · Posted

      I forgot to mention my thoughts on the rushing grade! 😮 He ran his ass off both weeks. I can't remember the stat offhand but didn't he have something crazy like 120+ yards after contact vs. Dallas? Against Miami he had lanes as wide as the entirety of I-95 to run through which is why his rushing grade wasn't as high as this week's. He's ran like a man possessed and going to earn himself some money in the offseason.

      Ideas on how to find a pass rush

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      I'm not sure how much I'm changing mid year, especially when we are seeing some success.    Most Pass Rushers are physically gifted. Scheme and personnel help, but you gotta have the Jimmys and Joes, especially at that position.    We will likely lose games when the other team can throw for 400 yards, and has multiple high level receivers, but I think at this point in the development of our franchise, we have to be ok with that. You can't address every single issue at once. Really looks like we have plugged some holes on offense, and definitely in run defense. In the next draft, if we hit on a CB, an ILB and a Pass rusher, we will be pretty dangerous.
