Brian Cushing still available


Recommended Posts

Do you think we should consider Cushing?  After the draft I'm a bit more confident, but we're definitely still lacking experience.   I am aware of the PED issues, but at this point I think he could be had at a bargain.

He's a free agent, but he's become the great unwashed.  Chronic lower body injuries-- a torn ACL, broken leg, torn MCL-- multiple PED infractions, and fading play seem to have scared teams off.

Good player, but I think Siran Neal is going to blow up as a S/LB/DB. I could see him playing LB in the nickel and some safety in obvious rushing situations, the guy plays with brutality. Edmunds and Milano will get the brunt of playing time, Neal and Lorax will split time.

TBH, with all the PED uses he's been caught with, imho, he shouldn't even be available in the league any more. It's one thing to be making a mistake, it's another entirely to be a serial offender, who appears to take PEDs as part of his daily diet.

I think Bowman is the best of what is on the market but I think he will be expensive. Whoever we bring in is likely to be a 2 down player only and needs to be an upgrade over Lorax at the Sam. Cushing makes sense and has a relationship with John Butler our DB coach. Karlos Dansby used to be a long athletic player like Edmunds and could be an interesting mentor type. I also think Lawrence Timmons could fit as well. All of them are more middle backer than Sam backer, but they could all work. If Lorax is going to start there, there is no need really, but I think we could use an upgrade there.

Bowman>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Cushing

 

And I really don't think it's as expensive as many may think.

I don't disagree completely, but if I am a guy who has dealt with the injuries Bowman has, your better pay me a fair amount or I'm retiring. 

 

And is Bowman willing to come in and be a 2 down player?
