I'm appreciating our defensive performance even more. We held Fournette to 57 yards,on the road. Made Bortles life hell. He doesn't scramble on us and we might win 3-0 lol. Just shouting out our up n coming D, McD seems to have a great grasp on that defense and came up with some fantastic gameplans. (@ Jax,@Atl,@Mia,@Kc etc). I'm going to love watching that group with more talent up front, should be dominant

I'm a little mad watching. We had them on the ropes all day, on the road man. Defense played spectacular , the O moved the ball at times but never could take the next step. We're going to improve alot this off-season, I see us making a huge jump in talent, so we'll be back sooner than later imo

True but it is an argument to be made. Also , our defense looks much better than Pitt. Our D is going to be a helluva group for quite some time imo. McD has taught that group wonderfully, we're definitely on the up n up , we'll be back next year with a legit shot at a run.

See I'm not going to pretend to be a draft guy. My college football knowledge is very low , never got into it like the NFL. With that said, the post I made about the 7 RB taken in top 100 , 5/7 we're very big parts of team, 1 was banged up but has bright future (Mixon). The 23 taken out of top 100 , only 1/23 had that type of impact,(Cohen). The odds clearly show a higher pick equals much better production. I understand that you can get great value at RB but if we have one or 2 on the board that they really value highly , I'd pull the trigger. High second - mid 3rd, I think it instantly makes our offense better and we still have plenty of draft capital and FA moves to make at other positions.

Yes! He's only had 1 off-season, he definitely has been disappointing but he's not a bum and there is definitely a role for him on the team. Whatever we got wouldn't be worth it, he's a football guy, trains hard, he can get coached up , he's shown flashes , let's give him more than 20 games before writing him off!

Yes I totally agree. I said top 100 , we are rich with draft picks, get it done. It could have a big impact on the whole offense. Helps the run game, preserves Shady a bit, but also opens up the pass game. It's important

Makes ya more worried about the lb or S comin at you full speed I'm sure. Subconsciously trying to protect it

I totally agree. I actually smiled as I read this, cause I can see the potential in Zay. Now he gets a full off-season, no preparing for draft. He can heal up nicely and I'm sure, even if he won't admit it, a shoulder injury had an impact on a rookie WR season.

That hurts alot too..His life was football, Shazier was born to be out there, a young, elite MLB, leader of that defense, that all disappears. The Mental scars will damage more than the physical ones.

Insane?? Insane huh? I said first 100 picks. Let's check out 2017 ,shall we? 7 RB taken in top 100 1 Fournette 8 McCaffrey 41 Cook 48 Mixon 67 Kamara 86 Hunt 89 Foreman The NFL leading rusher in Hunt, likely rookie of year in Kamara, Fournette established himself as a beast, McCaffrey was a huge part of the Car Offense. Almost all 7 had significant contributions to their teams. Mixon injured alot, even he looks like he'll be a very good RB. 23 RB taken out of the top 100 Only two come to mind that had a significant contribution, Cohen and Jamal Williams. So the numbers CLEARLY show your statement is false ,sir. You're building both. We have a stud in Shady. Invest one draft pick in that position, that's all! Plenty of room to make other needed upgrades

You guys put WAY to much correlation in decisions made by completely different people with completely different rosters. Our failures in the 00's have zero correlation to this upcoming draft and potentially grabbing a RB early. Give the Amazing Lesean McCoy a great running mate for final 2-3 years of his prime. If we have one highly rated that's available I'd be totally on board. We are not that bad at OL, can upgrade through FA

I agree but I'd be on board. Imagine a Shady/Fournette ,Shady/Henry , Shady/Gordon combo. That'd be pretty lethal and could have one of the best run games period. Give defenses headaches. Helps preserve Shady and adds a great back. This also helps our QB and pass game significantly. Philly is advancing to the NFC title game off the play of Ajayi/Blount.

The human Bowling ball himself? The enigma , the Full Half back aka Mike Tolbert is a TBD legend. I do think if Beane and Co leave no stone unturned, and lead a vigorous process to finding his successor, somewhere out there will be an upgrade over Mikey "Trust the Process" Tolbert

People are flaming me but missing the point. It's about making a positional group elite and dynamic. If there's a guy in the top 100 the staff think can be a gamechanger, pair him with Shady, add an explosive,dynamic element to this offense, regardless of QB. Every team has Holes. You can't have all pros at every position, it's about building a team and again, the impact it could have is far greater than the impact a good lb will have.

A star RB is probably the top reason we made the playoffs, he was basically our only offense and did it at an extremely high level. So yea, your point isn't that effective,sir

I understand what you mean and I agree we need to upgrade some positions but the impact of a great running game can be tremendous Get his replacement when he's still in his prime, let them ball out together, watch it tremendously help the offense

I disagree. You can have something special at the position with Shady and a great complement. Why not attempt to make part of your O that much more dangerous. A great running game wins Super Bowls

I guess preferably in the draft but get Shady as good of RB that you can find. Hehas 2 elite years left, he doesn't take hits like the average RB. He's too shifty to get a good shot on, or he'll smartly go out of bounds versus attempting to get another yard , always after getting the 1st down of course. Whatever route we go with QB on offense, we must draft or take a RB in FA , but drafting is way to go , salary cap wise, spend one of our first 3 picks on RB, will make us much more dynamic and Shady will be able to share some of the load,why also most likely helping his production on the field. Edit- Wanted to paste this here.

Jumping the gun a bit? They are both 2 year pros , who have lost a large amount of those 2 years rehabbing on injuries. To say the book has been written is unfair. We never saw Ragland in Rex's scheme and he's just got promoted starter for KC. Shaq is very good at stopping run , the hope is he can develop enough to turn into an all around DE like Hughes. He can be situational and work his way up, we definitely need a guy to pair with Hughes! So underrated this year, numbers weren't very good but he got the hurries consistently. He needs a legit threat opposite him so qb can't always roll to his right where the rush is contained.

2 are AFC teams, potential WC teams in way, though I want that division and feel it's doable with an upgrade on offense

Hate - Pata/Jets pretty evenly Like- Giants I live in Northern Jersey, right outside NYC, have a bunch of Giant friends I respect. The Jet fanbase is a bit different, can't stand majority of Jet fans

I agree. He said he'll be playing alot more DE, where he belongs, rushing the passer. He had a MONSTER game vs Jax, was flying out there, definitely keeping him for 2.5 mil, even if it is a situational role,his leadership and ability are still well worth it

I'd like to keep Leonard Johnson too

Good. He actually did good at DE. What an overall game he had vs Jax , I was impressed

Oh yea , the L.O.B is officially over , I think our young secondary can take that torch actually, depending what we do at #2 CB,but even White,Hyde,Poyer is as good as it gets. Alot of players butting heads this year. Earl Thomas telling Dallas to get him. Wagner and Earl arguing via Twitter
