I thought long and hard about that, but we do have an established lineman there--Lemme see what everyone else says, but I see your point--is it a top 10 need? I figure we have the picks and room to address about 10 needs. But they did not just pay tons for 2 guards to have a weak link at C.

I may have missed someone, but I do this to help me see it, so I thought I would share. Let me know if you see a mistake or want to make a suggestion.

You certainly wouldn't be wrong. i see that.

He deserved it. terms out?

Probably--I was trying to keep it to seven. We did draft Jammie last year, but he won't be a starter--good point.

Needs: Edge (even if we sign one--second rounder) Corner (Must be a second rounder unless we sign one) Wide Receiver Tight End Sam LB (to replace YGM) Will LB Center

Yes. Burns was not their fault---that shtshow was on Fitterer.

I think we will draft 1 or 2 wrs. So if the worst-case scenario happens, you have 2 more. In addition, he'd know that we are drafting a QB #1 in 2025, so I dunno if he'd leave if he knew another QB was coming in. Go to a place with a good QB, and you are likely the #2 at best.

Y'all leave Juan be. The man is on that wall for all of us.

I see something on NFL Network and immediately go to the Huddle and he has already started a thread on it--20 minutes ago. They need to put him on the show with Ian Rapoport. Except Ian is in a nice office. Juan would be in a basement in front of him Mom's freezer.

Nice!

This is what I need to hear--I have only seen his highlights. Good players in the NFL rarely play on 3 teams before they turn 25. I would not pay him much, and I would keep him on a short leash.

Exactly. When you are building a team, attitude is very important, and if you bring a turd into your locker room, it could have a negative impact on a lot of players. People forget, you go through adversity and it is very competitive. Attitude is everything.

Did not say he would--He has not earned anything but a lowball contract. I just would not pay him more--someone might, but I would not. If you pay a half-asser more than most of the players at his position, it would send a negative message. I look at the player's impact on others. He is a bigger name,and he will influence a locker room--not gonna pay to have cancer. He probably needs to be on a team with some veterans who can take him under their wings--we won't have that

My view? If he is cheap, why not? He is 24, will get 9-10 sacks, and we would have paid $25m for that. We can't fill all the holes this year. Do I expect much? No, but when I was 24.... If they give him $20m, NO. If they give him $2-4 m, maybe.

Devil's advocate--imagine if you were his agent. He is 24, has been injured. Has all the tools. Needs a prove it deal. Great opportunity in Carolina and I doubt you can fill all your holes. His goal, on a small one-year contract is to get more sacks that Burns in NY, more pressures, and more tackles.

I think the best move is to wait for cuts and sign a player who is cut from a roster when they are cutting to 53. There is usually a gem or two--trying to sneak them to a practice squad. Look for people on rosters converting from 3-4 to 4-3 This is what wiping Fitterer's ass feels like, people. He shat himself rather frequently.

Chase has the Clowny disease--wants the team to pay him for lifetime achievement.

I d rather draft a guy and develop Barno, Johnson, and Leota.

Drew Lock to Giants.

It is really not about seeing over the linemen as much as it is giving you the ability and confidence to step up--if pressure is coming from the outside, a QB can step up. and it really doesnt disrupt the timing as much as having to bail out. Protection improves the timing, and timing increases the likelihood that the receiver will be open when the play is designed to get it to him. Most DBs are measured by the time it takes them to close the gap after the break. Bryce is a smart kid, and when he can focus on the secondary instead of the front 7, he will improve. No, he is not known for his height or arm strength. we shall see

I heard some analysts talking about the ways new DC's are getting pressure on the QB and how it is confusing at first. Campen was old school and my impression of him is his attitude was "old school." I think there was disconnect as well. Campen was a terrible communicator. I have been blowing this horn for several months now. When I saw the video of two players watching Campen kiss footballs, it came off as if they were familiar with his antics, but saw him as a clownish character. Then I head he was a snitch to tepper. Everywhere I have been, a "snitch" is usually someone who attempts to make himself valuable in ways othr than doing his job.

Folks, I do not know a lot, but I was an OL coach and i look for technique improvement when I watch videos or film. Ickey was not coached. Campen was absolutely horrible. Ickey has the tools, he just needs to work on his feet, hands, and balance. The light will come on, I am 90% sure.
