LABILLBACKER

I'm tired of waiting around for the "All Choir Boy" team to ever win one. If it takes a couple gangsta's, so be it.

I'm so exhausted discussing Edmunds. His list of deficiencies far outweighs his strengths. And there's no way he gets extended. He'll either be traded or play out his contract year.

"It starts with me"....."I'm not going to go into it"...." we didn't execute".....later

I think when Darnold flames out as a starter, he'll find his way to Buffalo to be with his bff.

I don't know. We sure punted alot in that last Jets game. Haack will tell you all about it. If I could lock up a punter possibly better than Moorman for 10yrs and it only costs me a 5th. Josh isn't pitching a perfect game every week. Like the Gordon, Jones & Phillips picks. All good value probably.

As much as I would love to eliminate the "bend don't break" style that we've seen dating back to the SB years, versatility is very tough to accomplish with a cap in place. When we play a Tennessee or Indy we need certain specific players to stop the run. When we play a top qb we need an elite pass rusher. And when we play the weaker teams that we dominated last season by 10+ points, we can simply run our standard scheme with is all-inclusive. I'd love to have the luxury and cap room to have specialty depth players that are run steppers or qb disruptors. But that's not realistic. We're at the mercy of McD making the proper scheme adjustments based on our offensive opponent. I was screaming for a 5th Dlineman while Taylor was completely destroying us. It never happened.

I'm not married to analytics, but I can't ignore it either. PFF (if you're into their formulas) says: Milano's overall grade 69.7 and Edmunds is 50.4. And if I was to use common sense and what I see game in game out, these numbers might be somewhat accurate. There's no way Tremaine is worth nearly 13M. I don't care what they ask of him.

MAJBobby will not be pleased by this breaking story. Sometimes you have a brain fart and sometimes your brain simply detonates.

Corbett & Jones....ok that's it....cap spent.....goodnight.

Yeah " he did a phenomenal job the first meeting with KC, so let's not use him the 2nd time. It's not his turn in rotation". 🙄

Oh I have no doubt once he gets a better pass rusher, he'll scrub this rotation.

So true, if you want Phillip's you better do it in the 4th. He'd be a very good slot wr. Because of Tre being out to start the season we'll probably be forced to go CB early. Like Travis Jones at 57. Yup, if you want Ariaza you also better do it in the 4th.

Not a fan of the DL rotation. If we actually had an all pro or elite Dlineman we wouldn't be bringing him out other than the occassional rest. This upcoming season I want to see Ed & Groot get way more snaps. And if we can miraculously land a big name pass rusher, we better let him play 70%+ of the snaps. Bring in AJE or Boogie only as depth. Identify your best players and play them.

Interesting that DJ has Linderbaum at 26 and Williams at 27. If we can get a couple random unexpected players drafted early (like the Raiders always do), we're going to have some real good choices at 25. After watching our 3 DE's kinda have quiet seasons, I say full steam ahead on offensive picks. Get your pass rusher by FA or trade.

Not exactly, the whole idea is to get younger. I would rotate Berrios & McKenzie at slot and give Berrios 100% of the return duties. Cut Beasley (33) and Sanders (34). Try to sign Berrios to 6/yr and Lil Dirty to 5/ yr. If either or both want more, than keep Beasley on a more friendly short term restructure. I just think Cole's tank is almost empty. Either way we'll need a return guy and Beasley, McKenzie & Stevenson are not the answer. Cordarrelle would be nice but more expensive than all 3 of these guys.

Wouldn't pay a dime over 6/yr for Berrios but I would love his return skills on this team. Wouldn't pay Ogbah over 10 because of his run stop deficiencies. Sign a younger Kyle Allen. It's interesting once you research what these guys want, all of a sudden they're not exactly value guys. Maybe a couple come here to win a SB on a friendly deal?

At first I thought Ogbah would project to 10M/yr. I was wrong, he projects to 15.5 which is getting into Chandler Jones territory. I need more than 8-9 sacks for 15-17M.

https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2769275-braxton-berrios-nfl-draft-2018-scouting-report-for-new-england-patriots-pick.amp.html He led the NFL in kickoff return avg. He was 2nd in punt return avg. Cole is almost 33 and will be slowing down. We can't exactly trust McKenzie or Stevenson on returns. He is young, quick (4.44) and could easily rotate with Isaiah in the slot. Remember nobody shines when they go to the Jets. His projected contract would be around 5.9/yr. That's not exactly breaking the bank. Just sayin?

Yikes....maybe Aaron can pay for part of that.

He's not getting 17M from us. Besides I think we either go CB or WR at 25. And it wouldn't shock me to see us draft another CB in later rounds.

Love the idea of Ogbah & Berrios. And if Beasley is gone, you can still try to sign McKenzie to a team friendly deal.

I think we have enough for both Ogbah and Berrios. Players like Chandler Jones, Von Miller, Gesicki and Kirk will cost 12-17. Too rich for Beane's blood.

Yeah I was hoping he was a little faster than that. He's projected around 11.7/yr. We just don't have that cap. Sign McKenzie as your slot guy for alot less and say goodbye to Beas & Sanders. You could still go after Jameson Williams.

You're right. To finally get to a SB and win one we'll need an elite pass rusher. Jones would be great but we can't afford 17M which is what he's projected. I'm torn but leaning toward a offense heavy draft (Jameson, Linderbaum etc) over taking another 1st round risk on a Jordan Davis or pass rusher. Maybe Ogbah on a cheaper fa deal? Alot will ride on how Rousseau, AJE and Boogie develop??

Protect your #1 asset. Continue to improve the OL. Enhance our running game. Call a few less designed 17 runs and continue to let him scramble when necessary. I don't know where our elite pass rusher will come from? Maybe FA or trade a pick?
