Cool. Trade Edmunds for a DE.

They’re in the HOF for beating Marv like a rented mule.

I was so happy when Trent was benched. Wasn’t it after 2 dreadful games vs. Miami and GB? Whatever happened to that SavierEdwards guy?

So if this means anything, so far it looks like they think they can fill DE in free agency then grab a WR and RB.

The Giants are going to sign Williams. They were already looking at him late in the season. That’s what my team employee friend said at least. They’ve been sniffing around him for some time now.

“With patience, comes pressures.”

I could see a scenario where we miss out on other FA’s and just grab a TE to save face a bit. I wouldn’t hate it but I definitely don’t want to spend on one that we’re not absolutely sure has a few years left and can help with Josh’s development. It’s risky.

If we don’t snag some of our other FA targets, maybe Henry would/should be the way to go. Being that they still haven’t given up on Knox, it would probably be Ertz tho.

Yeah. If Knox doesn’t work out, there isn’t much we can do. If they feel our window is the next 3 years we can’t really draft another TE. just ask the Detroit Lions. Didn’t they draft top 10 TE’s 2 or 3 years in a row and not one of them was impactful in their time with the team. Any upgrade for us would have to be a FA.

I could be in charge of hanging motivational signs around the locker room. My first one will read, “It’s all about the pressures.”

I figured the “built-in” excuses would come late night. OMG guys, did you see all of those “pressures” we had this season? Pressures? We did all of this “without this and that.” Well, isn’t that the problem? You’re not supposed to be “without” a bunch of things. That usually means that your team has a bunch of holes. I don’t remember them announcing that we’d be rolling with a “declined” defense. In fact, everyone said the defense would be improved.

I’ll let him know you’ll be running the draft this year.

Rumor on Twitter is that he thinks Diggs is a b***h for whining and leaving but there’s no telling. I’m sure you’ll see the story floating around. One of the Podcast guys had it.

Yeah. I don’t think there’s any reason to think Star can still play. That’s another hole.

I totally agree. I didn’t think Hughes would still be on the team last season. I expected to already have upgraded there.

My GF and I are both UNCW alums and have a soft spot for Beane, but man, we really need to get this off-season and draft right with surgical precision or I fear we could take a substantial step backwards next season.

I really don’t know. Would adding an elite DE tell us everything else we need to know about the others? I sure hope so. I also hope the model is different because if Beane thought Singleterry and Miss were going to be the next DeAngelo Williams/Jonathon Stewart 1-2 punch, he missed by a mile on that one. I don’t know what’s going on there but it isn’t funny anymore.

Would an elite edge guy make that happen? Maybe. But it would have to be a Mack type player. I think we need to find out, and quickly.

I really just don’t see it. I think the offense was obviously playing over their heads and the coaching did a great job of hiding the lack of talent on defense. I lived in Carolina all of those years and there’s no resemblance at all. Who is the Julius Peppers of this defense? Who is the Charles Johnson of this defense? Those D lines were absolutely dominant. We don’t have ANY of those pieces. I would send BOTH of our LB’s packing tomorrow. We aren’t close on defense at all if the model is Carolina. I think a few posters here recently hit it right on the head. We don’t just need an edge guy. Those Carolina defenses had outstanding pressure and sacks coming from up the middle.

I truly believe this team has been over performing and I’m worried that it won’t last. We need the best FA DE we can find, draft the best LB available and even trade back up for a RB if need be, and call it a day. I’m also worried about Star.

We are way lacking in talent. The process can only get you so far. We need 3 or 4 great players added to this team. How?

Thomas Davis is like 60 years old.

Dave Wannstedt made the best adjustments.

Buffalo, not SF, rushes for 200 yards and 2 Moss TD’s.

Guys, he called a Cover 0 on the last play of the game. It’s kinda obvious what’s going on isn’t it?
