The keep writing these articles every year and he keeps proving them wrong. He'll eliminate gluten and dairy and start drinking stem cells like Christopher Reeve in South Park. And he will sell the soul of his youngest to the devil and they will be there again at the end.

Good I hope it does drop. He's a complete malcontent who's committed free agent suicide.
I would rather give a young hungry wide receiver an oppertunity, then waste targets on number 13.
I know it's a ways away, but I am interested to see how his free agency pans out. Curious to see who the next sucker is.

Very sad. He seemed to alienate a lot of the people around and he wound up so alone. He pushed them away and they kind of abandoned him. I always believe that the time when a person needs the most love and support is when they are at the bottom. People who are having issues often get pushed away, or push themselves away from family and friends. Those people need to do everything in their power to try and bring that person having issues back in. So please, if you know someone is having mental health issues, drug issues, etc etc, pushing them out is the worst thing you can do because the time when he or she are at the bottom, is the time when they need you the most.

....baffler is that between Robiskie (37 years as WR Coach and apparently respected throughout the league) and Culley, despite his QB Coach label, has been more in tune as a WR Coach for his 25 years, how can we possibly have receivers that can't run routes?.....and doesn't it appear that Foster should be in good coaching hands with 62 years combined at that coaching position?....did I miss the memo (AGAIN)?.........
Foster must just be a slow learner or something, because he clearly learned nothing at Alabama for four years either. But he's an explosive athlete and I feel like he will get there. I'd love to bring in Stevie Johnson to be his personal coach and show him how develop some of that route running swagger. Honestly, I didn't realize he was 6-2. I'm excited to watch him develop, hopefully he does.

Yeah, his 40 time wasn't anything to write home about. But, sometimes instinct & anticipation can make up for a 10th of a second.
27 minutes ago, Over 29 years of fanhood said:Maybe he's bad at running 40s and maybe as you say he can do zone just fine based on other attributes.
But for perspective 3 D Linemen beat 4.63 in just this years combine.
Levi is just one of those guys who will never test well. That's why he was a walk one and and why he went undrafted. But he is surely a gamer who people will always underestimate. I dot know that he is truly a starting corner in this league, but I will not dare doubt him and I will be cheering every step of the way.
He's still faster than Josh Norman. I'm actually more concerned with Levi's bulk than his speed.

I like Deonte but to me he is more of a 3-4 on a contending team. I would have preferred to poach some younger guys off practice squads. I do think Thompson will help us and I can see him catching a few bombs from Josh Allen.
I also think having speed on the field with Deonte and Foster stretching it will have the biggest impact on Zay Jones running the intermediate routes. He could wind up with 40/50 catches over the final few games here.

Humber is slow and can't cover anymore. Going to teh Pats isn't going to change that.

I'm having trouble finding interesting 4-3 linebackers on the open market to add depth.
This is what I've got:
Corey Nelson - former Bronco and Falcon
Marquis Flowers - Former Pat and Bengal. He's a converted safety who I think would be a good fit as Milano's backup and a special teams guy. I thought he played well for the Pats when we played them last year. Most recently with the Lions I believe.
Nicholas Grigsby - just cut from the Pats. Has good speed and mainly a special teamer
Tyrell Adams - projects as SAM and we ironically signed him last year but then cut him because of a failed physical. He was released from injured reserve, so I don't know how healthy he is. He's the guy who blocked that punt in the Texans game this year.
I would actually go after Flowers or Adams just to add depth and maybe groom a younger guy to take Lorax's place next year.

Continuity is good if you have the right people in place. Pittsburgh obviously does. 4 of those five are very good players.

Yep this is where I am. A piece of crap among other pieces of crap is now simply a pile of crap. You can keep that together as long as you want, but it will still be a pile of crap.

I really like Levi and thought he played quite well. he knows how to use his length and things of like that. My only concern going forward is his strength. He needs to add some weight and strength to his frame. It looked a little like he was having some trouble getting off of blocks in the run game. That will likely be a priority for him going forward. I don't doubt him for one second. He has proved many people wrong so many times. Really rooting for him.

Our TE’s are a trash heap- we need to address this now, in FA, and the draft.
Maybe someone can help me with this, but I for one can't understand why Troy Niklas is sitting on the free agent market. I know he is not super fast, but he never was fast. He's 6-6, 270. Had a good career at Notre Dame and was a highly touted prospect. Fell to the second round, meaning most people thought he was going to go to the first round. He's had injury issues, so I know that is a ding. He signed with the Pats and they cut him after like two days. From all accounts he is a good guy and super hard worker. He comes from that Matthews family tree and is a good blocker. Am I missing something?
I think he is worth a look. Even if you don't like him as a receiver, have him gain 30 lbs and make him a tackle. I just have trouble with the fact that this guy is a street free agent. I mean he isn't better than Khari Lee or whatever scrub tight ends sit on the back end of NFL rosters?

We have ivory dinged up and only two running backs.
Two words: Fred Jackson.
(stop, stop, stop. I love him...I am just kidding)
I wonder what A -Train and Lionel Gates are doing? Maybe hanging out with Shawn Bryson and Xavier Omon somewhere?
Anyway I mentioned above I'd love to see Ray Ray get some running back reps. To me he is a Dion Lewis type of player, not a strict reciever.
The best guys on the free agent market are probably Charcandrick West and CJ Anderson. Either would work as a fill in for Ivory, but I think are more likely to wind up on a contender.

Yeah. Ray Ray doesn’t need to be here
I envisioned Ray Ray being used more like as a slash type player, a young Dion Lewis or a James White, as both a runner and a receiver. He was a big time running back in high school and those skills are still there. He could be catching option routes out of the backfield or lining up in the slot etc. I think he and McKenzie are different types of players. Ray Ray is more quick than fast and we simply have not seen him use his talents in space yet. He's a gadget player being used as a regular reciever imo. I think there is room for both he and McKenzie on the roster. At least for now.

Some names of interest:
WR Tanner Gentry off Bears practice squad form Josh Allen teammate and favorite target
TE Troy Niklas former second round tight end from Norte Dame, currently a free agent
OG Taylor Hearn formerly of Clemson off Panthers practice squad
C Kyle Fuller from Baylor on Texans practice squad
WR Daurice Fountain stole the show at the East-West game drafted in the 5th round by the Colts, sitting on their practice squad. Watch some of his highlights from Northern Iowa
WR Dylan Cantrell big super athlete from Texas Tech sitting on Chargers practice squad. 6th round pick this year
That's all I got.

Aside from the Colts game I think our run defense has looked pretty good. I love Tremaine and Milano, but they still sometimes struggle with angles and things of that nature. They will come around. Star has been a big part of that and Jordan Phillips has looked good there as well. Shaq is really excellent in run defense too.

Rexy needs to be in the booth doing color. He’s a great Xs and Os guy and is flat out hilarious. He should be on their MNF crew, which is a debacle. Worst broadcast crew in any sport.
It really is terrible. I love Rex's commentary and the other guy I think is very good on ESPN radio is Chris Canty. He should be in the Booger position. His takes are fair, logical, and lack any kind of bias.

Ain't that the truth. But let's give him some credit. Their defense was better under Rex
With the Jets, he was able to manufacture a pass rush without talent, see Maybin, Aaron. Bowles can't seem to generate any kind of pass rush while playing a lot of man to man and single high. That's a recipe for lots of failure. I blame MacCagnan as well because they never bothered drafting any edge players. They still have not replaced John Abraham and Calvin Pace and it's been years now.
Let's not forget that their run game coordinator is Rick Dennison.

This typeof trade is better made in the off season. He wasn't able to pick up the offense in such a short period of time and a lot of players can't. If they were going to take the cap, hit they should have kept him on the roster automatically. I mean it would have made sense to keep him over Khari Lee, a 4th tight end no? I'm not saying Coleman is a big deal, I'm saying his acquisition and quick release made no sense.
Here are the guys who made the final 53 who are no longer on the team:
Jeremy Kerley
Khari Lee
Ramon Humber
Phillip Gaines
Vontae Davis
Marshall Newhouse
Whatever you think of Coleman, he should have been kept over some of these bums.

Rex mentioned the tear down which led to his terrible year there and his eventual firing. And he basically says the team still sucks. He is calling out MacCagnan and he has a point. They spent a bunch of money in the offseason and they still suck.
