  1. He’s a little taller. He’s essentially a guy who can play fullback, tight end, split out wide, be and h-back off line guy. So he can do it all and be used in the same vein as Kyle is in SF. That’s what he brings to the table imo. Kyle is a little more full back than tight end, Hollister is more tight end. He does have one carry in NE. (Juszcyk only has like 40 carries in his career) But yeah, not same player, similar in terms of the way that he can be used to make the offense multiple. He can be used in the DiMarco five wide set and actually be a useful receiver. Also, he’s going to be a fan favorite because he is always going to be open and will be willing to do anything.
  2. This is going to be everyone’s new favorite player after a few games. He is a do-it-all player that allows the offense to be even more multiple. He’s a poor man’s Kyle Juszcyk. I am happy about this, QB1 I’m sure is happy. It should also light a little fire under Knox because they will be competing for reps. I for one really like it.
  3. Yep not surprised. Always thought he was gonna go play for Rhule
  4. Fuller is the perfect fit if we can find a way.
  5. I’ve always felt that Trubisky was the one the Bills wanted in 2017. They were all over him, and while Beane wasn’t with us yet, he had seen him play a lot in Carolina and I’m sure their was some positive feelings there pass on to Coach. I’ve mentioned this before, and people didn’t like it, but they were never going to take Mahomes, they wanted Trubisky imo. When they realized what it was going to take to get up to draft him, they punted. Anyway, this is a good type of guy on the roster, a young guy who was a former top prospect and obviously has talent. I am excited about him. I think he adds to the QB room and should fit right in here. He has enough experience that it would not be deer in the headlights situation, and he has the talent to do some things if he every has to step in and play.
  6. I think it’s a good idea. Tonyan is essentially what we hope Knox becomes. Former quarterback, late mover to the position. Tonyan’s break out came in year three and before that his career was pretty much floundering. Knox’s first two years results in essentially all of the stats Tonyan put up in yeah three. So I’d love to get Tonyan, but our version of the same player is on our roster. Rudolph or Ertz are much more complimentary players imo.
  7. I mentioned in the Parlady thread that the real news with the Dolphins signing him was that Haack was available, and that I preferred him to BOjo, and Parlady. Haack is the real deal and I’m glad we grabbed him.
  8. He should be back. He is very efficient, though not very explosive, he doesn’t make any mistakes and creates positive gains in the field position game. If you feel like you want to move on, go watch some video of Leodis McKelvin.
  9. So I’d rather have Matt Haack over both of these guys. So in my mind, that’s the real news here.
  10. He has a cool nickname and he is a tough guy for a fan base recently used to charmin soft linemen. But he is very limited in ability. Nice player to have as depth as a back up, but not sure he is a stating player.
  11. Turner is the best player imo and has the Carolina connection. He is also the youngest. Jackson is up there as well, and has some Bobby Johnson connection. Zeitler is still very good. Apparently he was really good with teaching Will Hernandez, so he was a mentor aspect to his presence.
  12. Unless they sign a guy like Turner/Jackson/Zeitler, Boettger and Ford are our starting guards. Jackson has the Bobby Johnson connection, so that makes the most sense. But I think Ike and Cody are the guys next year.
  13. I mean I don’t have sources or anything, but he really fits what we are trying to do defensively. Big, athletic, end who can get to the quarterback and excelled in a rotational situation in New Orleans. He is versatile, can play anywhere on the d line, twists, and an array of pass rush moves. He’s also very young and fits as an investment in this contention window. There is a relentlessness to his game that just seems like our style of ball. And I agree there were so many places to go with that pick.
  14. I still think they chase Trey Hendrickson, but Autry makes sense. He’s a big end with length.
  15. Good deal. Middle ground to where I thought it would be. Beane and McDermott talked from day 1 about developing and signing their own and and they are keeping that promise. I love what we are building.
  16. Agreed. I could see him sitting around for awhile in free agency like Kenny Stills did last year.
  17. If I signed Reiff I’d stick him at Left guard. That said, while I like the upside of Boettger and Ford, having a Vet like Reiff in there is a nice change up. I never thought he was a very good LT and I don’t think he is a RT either. If you can get him on the cheap, why not?
  18. 4.38 out of the back field is pretty nice
  19. Definitely an interesting guy. He has some blazing speed and makes a ton of sense as the other back here. Personally I’d look for something better, but I think you are on the right track and I could see him as a kick the tires guy.
  20. Reddick will go to Carolina and play for Matt Rhule. That’s my opinion.
  21. 100% this. And Dion Dawkins is a guard and so is Cordy Glenn. Duke Williams should play tight end, and so on and so forth. The rage was that Star was expendable because Horrible Harry was something, and I never saw it. I think Phillips is our worst defensive lineman right now, but he seems to be a message board hero. Now its Edmunds who needs to move etc, and once again we will all be wrong about him because the simple fact is that players develop. And just like Dion did, Edmunds will prove his worth and blow up. I am in the minority here, but I thought Butler played pretty well for what it appears he was asked to do. He was overpaid, but now he’s hopefully in a better pay range. There is still upside there.
  22. I think they draft a corner at the back end of the first
  23. The weird thing is that we do have the personnel for it, just don’t do it.
  24. Spotrac has his market value at 13.8 per year. Its what people have talked about here as well. I think he is a 7-8 million per player.
  25. Watch LaVonte David and see why you dont pay Milano 14 million. They are on completely different levels.
