Da webster guy

Have to admit the guy has the build, look and playing style of Randy Moss. Not saying it'll translate to the NFL but he sure seems to be the real deal.

And Whaley thought $8M was too much to pay Robert Woods. He's twice the player that Enunwa is. Basically this is saying we need to draft our WR's, the free agent market is already thin at receiver and stuff like this sets the bar so freakin high. KC must be dying after shelling out crazy money to Sammy "they call me Mista Glass" Watkins when what they desperately need is a better front 7 player.

Depends on free agency. Seems to me there are a few more decent Olinemen to be had in free agency than good D linemen, so I'm leaning toward buying a few Oline guys and taking Best Big Boy Available for defense. (B.B.B.A method)

Yeah I didn't mean take a job to pay the bills. He's not the kind of guy to sit around, that's the worst way to use money. It's not like he needed it this year either. Kyle strikes me as a Pride of Purpose guy. He's always talked fondly of LSU, I have a feeling coaching is in his future. Seems like a logical place to start.

He should take a Dline coaching job at LSU. Work his way up. In five years he's head coach.

Remember Cornelius Bennett when he first came into the league? He was pretty lean (the old #55 before he took #97) They put a bunch of solid muscle on him after that first and he never seemed to lose any speed. Just got better at taking on the 300 pounders. Seems like Milano did that too this season. I think they're going to try Tremaine one more season in the middle and do the same thing with him. He's build like a tight end, needs to be built like a run stuffer.

Waste of a draft pick. The guy only scored ONE touchdown in his life.

I agree with Alphadawg. The kid passes the eye test. He has pocket presence, elusiveness, and a knack for making plays. He isn't Drew Brees (who now has 70% completion percentage but had a 57% completion, 11 TDs and 15 picks in his 3rd season) but he will get there. The guys to worry about now are Beane, McD and Daboll. The way they do their jobs in the next 8 months are critical for what happens in the next few years. Beane has to have an all pro offseason. We already know Josh will be ready. .

I can't stomach reading Maoirana--(aka the New Jerry Sullivan) but I get the question. The answer is simple: Bring him in camp, draft another TE and sign a free agent as well. Did we conclude that Khari Lee is only a blocker? He sure had a great clutch grab in early ball this year. I don't know why but I feel like Logan Thomas isn't a gamer, despite his proven athleticism. Lot of free agent TE's this year as well and a very deep draft for TE's. Bring in 6 or 7, keep 4.

Yeah really glad we picked Josh. I was surprised, but he's been really fun to watch and seems a natural fit in Buff. Now it's Beane's turn. We already know he and McD can identify defensive talent, but they need to step up their game this offseason and build a TD scoring offense

I thought we'd be all set at LB this year but moving Tremaine outside and finding a true middle guy who has more of an anchor, sheds blocks better and fills gaps vs. the run draft?

I wondered that too. Aren't we all about getting young guys reps? Weird call to go for 1 there.

You did well. Geez good thing you simmered for a few hours. The Pats WILL fall a little further each game now, and our team is on the rise. In other news, Shaq Mason RG gonna be a free agent. I watched him a lot today, strong dude, plays low n nasty run blocker. Doesn't look big but he seemed to have a great game.

Exactly. I think they'll add ten pounds to him in the offseason either way, and the kid can start camp inside with another solid rookie prospect or free agent competing for the middle. His strengths are tackles in the flat, batted balls, and running/covering side to side. Weakness is power n leverage at point of attack and shedding blocks. We got Milano late, and Taron. Look for *****/McD to move on an MLB in 4th or 5th round (our double pick rounds).

Josh had a handful of mistakes, but like brian said, that game was also full of critical drops, not just for first downs but at least two for touchdowns. McKenzie. 1st drive killed by a drop on a perfect throw. Logan Thomas drops a touchdown in his hands. Foster misses on the perfect bomb throw. Sun or no sun, c'mon man at least get your arms up and give yourself a chance at catching it. Croom bad drop and also critical fumble. Im wondering if there is a physical difference in the type of player that can catch 65mph passes vs normal passes. Not kidding. Josh just seems to be putting the ball right on his receivers lately but the drops are everywhere. Beane said he likes qb's with big hands, does the same apply to WR's and TE's?

I don't think he has all trash around him at all positions. Zay and Foster are good receivers. McKenzie gets big separation every time I watch him. The line isn't good but most NFL Olines aren't. The line played well and graded out well in the 2nd half, both Miller and Boettger even. Josh wasn't getting killed nearly as he had in previous weeks, certainly not as much as Rivers was vs KC or Cousins was last week. The sack at the end of the first drive that cost us 3 points was on Daboll for having him do a full drop on the 30 yard line instead of a quick out/throw away play. Its definitely not ideal but it's not gruesome out there like Carolina or Zona.

This is an offseason post, like something I'd expect in May. From my mom.

Glenn hasn't done anything for us in two years, and yes the Richie/Eric thing was a surprise, but I agree with Chris Brown's take that he really hasn't been able to get any synergy going and the problem runs deeper than lack of talent or teaching technique. Brownie is pretty plugged in with the Bills, I take that as a sign that Castillo will be gone. If so, I hope it's done immediately after the Miami game so we can find our guru and he can have some input on the drafting/free agency moves we have to make here. Crossman must be doing something right to survive three different HC changes, but man he sure lost us the Jets game. Tasker pretty much blamed Crossman directly that Monday, saying if your guys don't look up to know where the ball is on a punt coverage this late in the season it's because it hasn't been drilled into their heads so that it's automatic. He doesn't think Crossman is thorough enough.

Not sure how much that means from a 1 tech who pretty much just ate space in the old NFL. Remember when they trained him, it went something like this: OK Teddy here's your technique: Try to keep them from grabbing you. Keep eating a lot so you stay at 355. Pretend if they push you out of the middle you don't get to eat for a week. Repeat.

Based on his achievements as an OC in the NFL, if he IS a candidate it certainly is on potential and not results. I know it's a nitpicky example, but his play call on 3rd and long from the Lions 30 yard line on the first drive of the game should have been a three step and fire the ball play. Instead Josh took a full drop and was sacked. Cost us 3 points and almost the game if their kicker didn't have such an off day. Daboll was visibly upset on the sideline after the play, but it wasn't an audible, so he should be mad at himself. I think he's still learning on the job. Reminded me of that Shanahan call as Atlanta's OC in the superbowl, only they were at the Patriots 21. Two dropbacks instead of two runs cost them the chance to go up two possessions with little time left, and eventually they lost championship because of it. Sometimes the obvious play call is the right one.

Rookie stats are meaningless to me. It's all about the eye test, and he's looking really good so far. Above all else, does your qb have a knack for finding a way to make a play? That's the stat you can't measure.

This is a very different draft than last year. We'll end up in the 7-12 draft slot and be fine getting the dudes we need. You'll see the top teams looking hard to move back because a lot of them already have their qb. Last year the scouting department had a big lull between Tremaine in the 1st and Harry in the 3rd. This draft should be a little more consistent and then heat up with our double picks starting in the 4th round. Exciting when you know we're taking a RB and WR somewhere in there. Probably two of each.

Trollin trolllin trollin I'll admit I did laugh out loud when you said Bill's pressers are an art form and you love to see it. First of all they don't televise them because he just sits there and says nothing of consequence because he doesn't care about giving the fans any insight into their team, or see the value in working with the media. In fact, he doesn't see the value in his own players. The worst run organization in football. (yeah but they won a lot !!!!! so doesn't that mean they run a good organization?) save it man. listen to the interview with Wes Welker talking about how he was treated there. Ridiculous. Also, they've lost multiple high draft picks over the years for cheating. but they deserve to win another one, because...you know... I will admit, Kraft's mullet is impressive. Gotta give ya that...

Amen. The Bengals took john ross over Mahomes they don't whine about it. Neither do the 8 other teams that passed on him. Draft hindsight is ridiculous. We passed on Brady, Rogers, Brees, Russell Wilson and more. Its ok people, let it go.

No but the rub pick play they always do on every critical pass play for 10 years finally got called on them today. Should be a staple of every team, severely underutilized. Allowed to pick inside 1 yard of the LOS, almost impossible to stop. Pats just push that to 2,3,4 or 5 yards downfield and never get called for it. Ti today.
