We resigned piggy!

in fairness i don't think he foresaw losing three starting offensive guards before the halfway point of the season

 

The severity of it recently yes, but it was a weak point in preseason too, and it has only gotten worse.

 

Also didn't help that the guard we reached for in the draft could barely practice a handful of times before getting IR'd.

 

So you suggest they have kept 8 guards? That sounds rational.

 

Yes, because I literally said "Let's sign, and keep 8 UDFA guards that wouldn't even be backups anywhere else".

 

Wait, no, I didn't.

If nothing else, Hangman added experience and depth. He should have never been dropped, and some of us said as much WHEN he got axed. But, no harm, no foul. I suppose it's just the nature of the beast. G-man obviously felt the need to gamble. At least it wasn't as questionable as cutting Drayton Florence. That one was the real head scratcher, that could have turned into a head banger had Florence been picked up.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
