I wonder if we should target a top-tier ILB in the draft or simply try and get one via FA. We need speedy, athletic ILBs in this defense.
I still believe we need an elite 3-4 DL (NT preferred).
Considering that we have a 3-4 alignment, either we don't have the talent to run that scheme (would be surprising since they had 3 years to draft/sign players necessary for it) or we don't have a DC who knows how to run it.
I'm voting 25% the first since we need a true block eating NT and 75%...
So glad someone mentioned this. My friends were looking at each other like "WTF" after we saw that call. You have to run the ball there in order to get the clock down to 2:00 warning.
Overall, I still think our interior OL is garbage and is in dire need of improvement in the offseason...
I'm conflicted on this. I think Kirk needs more work (agree with earlier comment that he was slower to start than I had expected vs. the Steelers). However, the thought of him getting injured to the point where he isn't available for the first week as starter has me nearly vomiting in my mouth...
Am hoping that Hankerson can get to the next level this year. At times he seems to play with a lack of passion.
Minnefield had a couple of good plays.
Run D was atrocious. I stand by my assertion that ILB and NT are big time needs. Will need to consider that in the offseason next year...
Really disappointed to hear this news. Would have rather us known earlier in the offseason so that we could have prepared by cutting him to free up cap as well as signing another promising FA to fill in his spot.
Oh well. The Keenan Robinson thing just adding insult to injury (literally).
Chip Kelly to me is Spurrier version 2.0.
Hot, gimmicky offensive-oriented coach whose system and philosophy are likely not going to translate well to the NFL game.
Did you see the Eagle's draft, also? Mostly players Kelly had coached against in the PAC-12. Not a good prognostic sign when...
What do people think about that dude Josh Jarboe?
I've heard he had some serious character issues throughout his early college career but read that he was the 3rd highest WR recruit coming out of high school the same year as AJ Green and Julio Jones.
With all of Danny's money, you think he'd throw down some to ensure the health of the investments he's made in talent throughout the team. Paying for top-notch medical staff seems to be a no brainer to me.
I fear the limitation for him this year won't so much be the attitude or his desire to play for the Skins but more his Achilles injury. For a player that depends on speed and agility, the Achilles is critical.
Tapp has been pretty serviceable on the Eagles. I think between his presence to rotate in and out of the lineup as well as his play on special teams may make him more of a Lorenzo replacement rather than a stop gap for a suspended Rob Jackson.
Just a thought.
Now I wanna name my first-born after him.
(...or at the very least get a Morris jersey, if they even make them)
200 yards and 3TD to beat the Cowboys?!? Yeah, I'm loving it!
I guess it ultimately matters whether the Cowboys game is part of a trend or just an outlier. I'd like to think it's the latter and not the former as there is no rational reason to believe otherwise.
I don't like the fact that our list is 3x the size of the Seahawks. Makes me wonder if they could wear us down in a physical game (which this is likely to be, esp if we want to grind it out on the ground)
To add to this point, I didn't think he looked all that bad against the Eagles. He had one errant throw that went a little high and got picked but remember that awesome pass to Moss perfectly placed in the end zone? Recall that the Eagles game was his first back as starter so one would have to...
