In response to letting Greg hardy walk away in FA.

"Sitting down with Dave Gettleman and talking with him about the direction we're gonna head and how we're gonna get things done, they're gonna work to get that taken care of, so I'm pretty excited about that. I like the fact that we're gonna have our guys as we go forward."

wow didn't see this coming... I must admit I thought GH was gone.... Maybe TD punked him in recent comments? I have mixed feelings about signing but DG knows better than us. I got a feeling we're going to be cutting some people. Peace out Captain, Godfrey, and unproductive O-men. nevertheless, I guess our next question is what's gonna happen with the oline, secondary, and much needed #1WR.

i saw the interview...pretty good stuff. from him i got that WR and CB were priorities.

 

they are still in eval process on their own roster, but looking to see what's available in the draft.

I got a feeling DG is expecting McNutt will make a splash this season. hahaha.... but seriously, I'm cool with us fixing these areas. Ginn and Mitchell are must haves unless we're upgrading. they have set a new standard.

sometimes the answer is on the roster. sometimes the answer is in the draft.

 

we need help at OL, WR, and CB...and it just so happens that this draft class is deep there.

 

we'll still see a lot of one year low cost deals this year, but we won't be the only team with them. that will probably be the case with the majority of FAs this year.

Well.... I don't think anyone of really wants to see the Kraken in another jersey. Let's just hope other other fears are put to ease and we don't over spend. 

Real question would you rather have Nicks or Hardy?

the last thing we want to see is GH lined up against the Bell...

I actually love Greg Hardy I do! But we are a secondary away from a mirror image of seattles defence!

Offensively we need two new tackles all our guards back healthy our RBs back healthy and if we keep smitty and got Olsen we need atleast two starters at WR out of the draft or FA! By keeping hardy which yes is great, but unless gettleman been lying to us and we got a poo ton of dollars there is now way we can resign this guy and have a much more effective offense than last year, so expect the same defensive games offense putting up ten points.

I'm not being a doomsday either before people start saying that, but it's like we keep one guy to sacrifice about four positions of real need, makes no sense to me, hope the front office has a good plan up its sleeve.

I have a feeling we'll be better this next season than last.

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
