Am I in the minority here or does Hurney pull the IR trigger way faster than Gettleman did?

 

Hard to say without knowing the details of the injury. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a joint decision with the coaching staff. Everyone knew he was a pretty raw prospect and he'd only played 9 snaps all season. Just give the guy a full redshirt season and try to use the roster spot on a guy who can contribute now.

Speaking of which... why is Colin Jones on the roster? Coleman gets hurt and we sign a safety out of free agency plus IR a 3rd round rookie DE so that we can elevate a PS safety to the active roster. It's obvious we don't want him seeing the field if at all possible, so why is he here?

He definitely does, but I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. We did kind of need the roster spot for a safety and with Cox on the active roster and healthy there wasn't much opportunity for Hall to play.

Colin Jones is the single greatest special teams player of all time, didn’t you know?

Some of the painful truths of our roster coming to light.  Our DEs are not spring chickens.  We need to get replacements and soon so that hurts for Hall to lose those reps this year.  Safety has been stopgapped for awhile, an investment needs to be made there soon as well.

Special teams what?

1. 95% of kickoffs result in a touchback.

2. He's never blocked a FG.

3. [I dont have stats to back this up] But there can't be many teams with a worse punt return unit than ours.

4. That just leaves punt coverage. Does he really shine enough during those 4 plays per game (minus fair-catches) to take up a roster spot?

Everyone says "special teams", but Im still not entirely sure what he does well.

I dunno dude, maybe he has embarrassing photos of Rivera at the Christmas party.

      Draft expectations vs reality

      By musicman · Posted

      Your thoughts? I don't think the trade up or even down value system stays exactly in place this year. Look at all the bad trades that hurt teams that give away too much (49ers for Lance, even us w/the Bears set us back). What trade up except Mahomes/KC was it really a great trade for the team giving up a lot? Same with trading down. Teams will know you don't want to pick and they won't be giving the store to move up because there is not a generational talent to do that for. Now, I believe these possibilities.  The Giants probably won't take QB-Sanders at 3, it's too much pressure if it doesn't work. They don't really need another edge rusher with Carter. I can see them possibly saving face, trade down to even the Panthers at 8 but not asking for a kings ransom. A 1st round swap, a 3rd and 4th and maybe next years 2nd and 4th could be enough without giving up too much. The Giants save in pay and in public opinion and then they can take Sanders or even another QB. For the Panthers to drop down, it has to mean their top 3 picks are not there. Do they take TE-Warren if he drops in their lap at 8 (I do like that)? I believe they would love to drop back but again I don't think teams will pay a lot to move up unless they want a QB before the Saints (our only hope for a good value).  I'm not picking a player, just thinking of the draft in general and value. Reaching doesn't work and more and more teams are realizing that.

      With the new DL, we should be better at edge by simple addition.   What player would have the biggest impact on the Panthers?  I still see the plan to trade back and take Emmanwori if we can find a trade partner.  Why, you ask?  S is a huge need and they have really only looked at 1 visits/meetings.  We will try to trade up for Princely in the second.  A WR in the third  (Bech or Noel).
