    You know I wasn't agree with you.

    We're you expecting to win the game 3-0 or something?

     

    Oh.  My bad. I thought we were agreeing on how that punt hurt us so badly.  Take away the awful punt and run the ball on first and goal from the 1 and we win.  So I guess we agree the punt plus the horrible play calling contributed equally to the loss.

    So you are going to bring in 30 new players in a single offseason?

     

    Yes.  They did 38 last year including in-season trades and moves.

    Good topic to start the offseason OP, but you do have to at least think about who is under contract, who's a FA, etc. 

    The following list isn't exhaustive because there are a lot of role players, depth players, and young guys that I just don't know enough

    about, and I'm not looking much at salary cap/money, but at least it takes into account FAs, etc. and may be a better jumping off

    point for discussion:

     

    Unrestricted Free Agents

    Kyle Williams  DT                     If he wants back in, I'm all for it, would probably take a team friendly deal

    Jordan Matthews WR              If he doesn't cost too much, I say bring him back (2nd best WR on the team currently)

    Shareece Wright CB                 Let go

    Brandon Tate   WR                   Let go

    Mike Tolbert    RB                     Let go

    Ramon Humber  LB                 Could be back if contract is reasonable as depth, but won't overpay as LB will be addressed in offseason

    Joe Webb   QB                          Let go

    Leonard Johnson  CB              Bring him back

    Cedric Thornton   DT                Let go

    Taiwan Jones   RB                    Let go

    Shamarko Thomas S                Let go

    Travaris Cadet  RB                    Let go

    Deonte Thompson  WR            Let go

    Preston Brown  LB                    Let go

    E.J. Gaines  CB                          Sign him

    Seantrell Henderson    OT        Let go

     

    Restricted Free Agents

    Logan Thomas   TE                   Tender

    Jeremy Butler   WR                    No Tender

    Nick O'Leary      TE                     Tender

     

    2nd Year Players (Won't give up on 2017 draftees yet)

    Tre White  CB                               Keep

    Zay Jones  WR                             Keep

    Dion Dawkins  OT                        Keep

    Matt Milano  LB                           Keep

    Nathan Peterman  QB                Keep

    Tanner Vallejo  LB                       Keep

     

    Also Under Contract---(ps) denotes player currently on the practice squad

     ????  don't know enough about the player...could stay or go depending on how the coaches feel about them, most will probably be here through spring at least

     

    Alexander, Lorenzo LB            Keep

    Anderson, Colt   S                     Let Go (too many injuries)

    Clay, Charles  TE                       Keep

    Davis, Ryan    DE                       Keep

    DiMarco, Patrick   FB                 Keep

    Ducasse, Vladimir  OG               Could keep (as backup only-upgrade needed)

    Dupre, Malachi   WR                   ????

    Ferguson, Reid  LS                       Keep

    Glenn, Cordy    OT                       Let Go (if it helps cap and/or coaches are sold on Dion at LT rather than RT)

    Green, Aaron    RB (ps)               ????

    Miller, John     OG                          Let Go (Is he really worse than Ducasse?)

    Mills, Jordan    OT                          Keep (swing tackle...hopefully RT is upgraded)

    Murphy, Marcus  RB                      Keep  (at least through the spring to see what he's got)

    Pitts, Lafayette  CB                         Let Go

    Poyer, Jordan    S                            Keep

    Finally someone who has an original thought!   Zay Jones is not the answer.  He could not get open.   The handful of times he did get open he turned into Roberto Duran.  Move on.  Schmidt can go.  Clay needs to go.  Injured and over paid. Logan Thomas?  C'mon.   So far my list stays solid.

    I know this will never happen -- too many players to be replaced, cap and contract money difficulties, etc. -- but a wholesale house cleaning is very attractive and might do a world of good. Bold to cut Clay, Matthews, Thompson and Zay but I agree. I'd also send Benjamin on his way. If Glenn is healthy I keep him. Same for Henderson. If Kyle wants to play another year, I keep him, largely because it's too big a "lift" to work in two brand new starting DTs. I think you make a rational (and unpopular with a certain segment around here) decision to keep Brown, Lawson and Washington. But the one bit of "crazy" that I don't understand is cutting Schmidt. Can you explain how you arrived at that choice?

     

    Nice piece of analysis all in all.

     

    Thank you for the kind words.  Punters are replaceable.  It's a toss up between Dennison and Schmidt if you had to pinpoint who lost the game for us on Sunday.

    That's an easy one to answer, cause the OP is either an idiot, a troll or a 7 year old.  Take your pick

     

    Smart way to run a team, draft rookie,s if they don't make the All Pro first year get rid of them, they're no good

     

    You don't have to call names.  Let's see your list.  

  4. 1 minute ago, Formerly Allan in MD said:

    You're getting rid of over half the team, including contributors like Schmidt, depth guys, and developing players like Zay Jones, but keeping Jordan Mills?  And would you please explain why Taylor stays.

     

    I cut him.  Read again.  Lots of punters out there.

    Hey, it’s your thread dude.  Let us know what you’re going to do with our ‘18 UFAs and I’ll give you feedback.  What the hell?  Need me to create your threads for you from now on?  

     

    Send me another thing you copied and pasted. Have you ever created a thread?  

  5. 5 minutes ago, Johnny Hammersticks said:

     

    A million?!  Dang...

     

    Probably would have been better off starting with the UFA’s.  Go back and start over.  This is silliness.

     

    No list?  It's pretty typical for the most critical and outspoken to struggle with developing their own original thoughts.  

  6. 2 minutes ago, Johnny Hammersticks said:

    How are you going to field a team, bro?  You got Shady playing RB and DB?  Iron man football?

     

    I would be interested in seeing your list or any one else's.  I set it all up for you.  Just update it with your original thoughts.  Also I wiped out the entire PS.  So you're overreacting.  

  7. 1 minute ago, Binghamton Beast said:

    I guess guys that can play ST’s don’t matter.

     

    Dime a dozen.  Who really stood out on ST this year?  I didn't see any Steve Tasker out there. 

    1 minute ago, Binghamton Beast said:

    One of the overlooked ones....why would you let Colton Schmidt go?

     

    Did you watch the game yesterday?  

  8. 5 minutes ago, SDS said:

    Unless for cap, scheme or team issues - you probably shouldn’t let go of any player you don’t have a replacement for. Why would you want to let go of 30+ players without knowing if their replacements would be better or worse?

     

    Because if I let go 3 players this wouldn't be much of thread.  

  9. Here is the current roster including the injured and practice squad.  A couple of tough decisions, but not many.  I cleaned the clock pretty good so will need to grab quite a few special teams players.

  10. I thought Tony Romo did a great job yesterday and all year long.  In my opinion, the combo of Nance and Romo is right up there with the all-time best.  Romo a) knows what he is talking about, b) is not afraid to say it when players do well/screw up,  and c) has a great, down-home delivery.  The other thing I like is that he is not too technical that you can't understand him.  While I love Kelso, sometimes I get lost in all the football jargon.  I wonder if Jay Cutler will be similar to Romo?  Let's hope so.

  11. I don't like the throws on the 1 yard line.  The defense can commit holding, pass interference, almost anything they want on 1st down because there is no damage that it will cause.  Get flagged for interference.  Big deal.  Move the ball forward a foot and re-play the down.  They should have run the damn ball.  Did McD and Denny go to the Peter Carroll school of coaching?

    ...only damn thing they cared about was viewership......put a late game on with NO consequences would be a real boon to advertisers and ratings, right?.....

     

    They should try for less viewership?  Be honest.  That doesn't make any sense.

    I think originally the Cinci game and our game were both supposed to be played at 1:00, correct?

     

    So it would have all worked out the same as far as fan/player jubilation, assuming the outcomes would have been the same if the games were played three hours earlier

     

    There were less West Coast games that mattered right?   So moving these away from the East Coast games made sense?
