What about McFadden?

No not Darren...

Bryant McFadden is an UFA. I've watched a lot of Steelers games over the last two years, and I like this guy. He's tough, plenty of talent, good with zone, and exactly the type of guy I'd like to have on our team. He's made some big plays as a backup for Steelers.

He's going to want a much bigger contract, and rightfully so. But we could cut Lucas, save a little money on McFadden (probably), and acquire a very promising young guy with enough experience that he isn't a project.

I'm sure there are some good reasons why we shouldn't be interested, and I'd love to hear them if anyone has some reservations. I'm drinking the Bryant McFadden Kool-Aid right now.

He's a very good candidate to come in and make an impact IMO. My roommate is a huge steelers fan and firmly believes that McFadden is their second best corner and has huge upside. I would love to have him come in and play the nickel for us we would have a sick lineup of DBs if that happened..

I'd see him taking Lucas' spot and Marshall staying at nickel. I don't expect any big moves, but I'd love this one.

    • well, the comparison is to last year.  The OL is a 180 degree from that.... and overall on the season they have had better skill talent for the same QBs behind a MUCH better OL.    So yeah, the O not looking any better overall is a red flag for Canales.   
    • I just want somebody to settle into that Hangartner role and I may give Mays too much credit. He played so well early and has fell off since injuries crept into his vocabulary.  He was struggling to get push on those goal line runs today. 
    • You cannot say it doesn't matter who is playing QB ever in any circumstance. The first two games of the season, Bryce was standing in the pocket with time missing throws left and right. We were running the ball well, but even the gimme throws Canales was setting up, Bryce was missing. Then you start Dalton, boom easy win at Las Vegas. By week four's end, three of our best defenders are seriously injured, center injured, 2nd best veteran WR hurt, and best veteran WR quitting on the team.  Canales is a rookie head coach, and he definitely has had some see what sticks moves. But players are being schemed open, the rookies are progressing nicely, and you have the albatross of some terrible lack of talent to phase out. I give him credit alone for pulling Mingo, Thomas, and going with the better/younger producing players. The scheme is better, he just needs better players and I am not going to write him off until he gets more talent, starting with QB!
