Had to lookup Green. He wouldn’t be good for us this year. Not a good pick IMHO. We’ve got 5 DEs. I’d rather take a S and interior OL. Moton can be LG but they seem to want him to be a tackle and Larsen and Van Roten are depth.

Several scouts have said Green would be a sure thing 100% top 5 pick if he stayed in school another year. If we want to solve the DE problem for the future that is the pick to make. Sit and learn behind Pep this year while maybe contributing in the rotation and he'll be ready to go in a year or two. The guy is a complete monster who fits in perfectly with our scheme, can drop back in cover, bats passes like no one else, stop the run and rush the passer from the inside or out. He'd be better than Greg Hardy ever was here by year 3, and Hardy was a force in 2013.

I almost never give this compliment, but Poe is a dancing bear. Thank you Hurney.

It’s obvious we are going to a 3-4:

Short  Poe  Addison

Peppers  Luke  Shaq Davis

 

kidding of course

[AceMan]

Wow!! Bigger & Better NT to replace Star...

god damn it hurney i want to hate you

This team is truly all in right now.  Everyone knows that the new owner can walk in and start fresh if we don’t have a great product that can compete for a SB.  Hurney is doing work and I’m loving it!

this is the strongest FA hurney has had since at least 2008.  maybe 2006.

Poe can do 3-4 that's how fuging beast he is.

[Rick Grimes]

How much does this leave us with (before any cuts/restructured contracts are made) ?

Green is definitely intriguing, but I don't know about all that "better than Greg Hardy ever was here by year 3" stuff. Hardy had back to back 11 and 15 sack seasons. That matches Peppers' best back to back seasons sack total and the 15 actually surpasses Peppers' single season best. Hardy was crazy and a black eye on the franchise in general, but at his best he was really, REALLY damn good on the field.

You'll love him this year if we win it all and we'll all be cursing him again in 2 years when we have no cap space and probably suck. Hopefully our new GM can draft well early on, because he'll need to for us to stay competitive.

Hurney is working this off season harder than he works his ex-wife's phone.

[frash.exe]

did they scout poe when he came out in college? would be interested to know if they were high on him at the time and would’ve drafted him if a diff scenario played out.

The Hurney flip floppers on this board make me giggle. There is a lovefest, and then a hatefest, no inbetween.
