FilthyBeast Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 1 minute ago, Logic said: I think they just weren’t gonna keep 7 DEs no matter what. I’ll echo others in saying I wish Addison were the one to go instead. I wonder who takes Bam’s role on special teams, and whether this means they’ll keep six instead of five linebackers. You can only keep so many ST focused players when you have SB aspirations and need guys that can actually contribute in live game action, that's why I also think guys like Taiwan Jones are going to be gone soon as well. As for Addison, I wouldn't be surprised if he essentially this year's Trent Murphy by midseason (assume he is in fact safe). Because no way we are wasting reps on him the glut of young talent that is ready to contribute out of the gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfball323 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 How is this a discussion? People here have a preference over the coach and gm who just took us to a conference championship? The guys who get to see him work every day, his daily one on ones, work ethic, culture fit with the team, etc... Sorry they didn't include you in the discussion. Flipping a 7th rounder ST specialist for a 6th is a steal. Go get the next guy in 2022. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respectfully, I disagree. Special teams reps ARE "live game action". A big kick return -- or a tackle on a kick return that prevents a touchdown -- can be the difference between a win and a loss. I believe that special teams will always be important to Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott, and rightly so. There are three phases in football, and all three matter. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I figured one of the DE's had to be moved. But I thought he'd be safe because he was younger and plays STs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
